(a) Systems must report sampling schedules under §141.702 and source water monitoring results under §141.706 unless they notify the State that they will not conduct source water monitoring due to meeting the criteria of §141.701(d).
(b) Systems must report the use of uncovered finished water storage facilities to the State as described in §141.714.
(c) Filtered systems must report their Cryptosporidium bin classification as described in §141.710.
(d) Unfiltered systems must report their mean source water Cryptosporidium level as described in §141.712.
(e) Systems must report disinfection profiles and benchmarks to the State as described in §§141.708 through 141.709 prior to making a significant change in disinfection practice.
(f) Systems must report to the State in accordance with the following table for any microbial toolbox options used to comply with treatment requirements under §141.711 or §141.712. Alternatively, the State may approve a system to certify operation within required parameters for treatment credit rather than reporting monthly operational data for toolbox options.
