Your system must meet two strengthened combined filter effluent turbidity limits.

(a) The first combined filter effluent turbidity limit is a “95th percentile” turbidity limit that your system must meet in at least 95 percent of the turbidity measurements taken each month. Measurements must continue to be taken as described in §141.74(a) and (c). Monthly reporting must be completed according to §141.570. The following table describes the required limits for specific filtration technologies.

If your system consists of***	Your 95^th percentile turbitity value is***
(1) Conventional Filtration or Direct Filtration	0.3 NTU
(2) All other “Alternative” Filtration	A value determined by the State (not to exceed 1 NTU) based on the demonstration described in §141.552.

If your system consists of ***	Your maximum turbidity value is***
(1) Conventional Filtration or direct filtration	1 NTU.
(2) All other “Alternative Filtration”	A value determined by the State (not to exceed 5 NTU) based on the demonstration as described in §141.552.
