NR 809.63NR 809.63 Requirements for reduced and increased monitoring for Stage 2 DBP. NR 809.63(1)(1) Reduced monitoring. The department may reduce the monitoring frequency when the LRAA is less than or equal to 0.040 mg/L for TTHM and less than or equal to 0.030 mg/L for HAA5 at all compliance monitoring locations. Systems may only use data collected in compliance with s. NR 809.565 and under this section to qualify for reduced monitoring. In addition, the source water annual average TOC level, before any treatment, must be £4.0 mg/L at each treatment plant treating surface water or GWUDI, based on monitoring conducted under s. NR 809.565 (2) (c) 2m. The reduced sampling frequency and number of sample sites are given in Table Z: NR 809.63(1)(a)(a) Water suppliers for public water systems on quarterly monitoring shall take dual sample sets every 90 days. NR 809.63(1)(b)(b) Public water systems on annual monitoring and surface water or GWUDI systems serving 500 to 3,300 people may use a single site if the highest TTHM and HAA5 concentrations occur at the same time and place. Any such public water system may be required to take individual TTHM and HAA5 samples, instead of a dual sample set, at sites identified as the highest TTHM and HAA5 sites, respectively. If separate sites for individual TTHM and HAA5 samples are used, then the TTHM sample shall be collected during the quarter with highest historical TTHM levels and the HAA5 sample shall be collected during the quarter with the highest historical HAA5 level. NR 809.63(1)(c)(c) Only data collected under the provisions of s. NR 809.565 and under this section may be used to qualify for reduced monitoring.

NR 809.63(1)(e)(e) If the LRAA based on quarterly monitoring at any monitoring location exceeds either 0.040 mg/L for TTHM or 0.030 mg/L for HAA5 or if the annual (or less frequent) sample at any location exceeds either 0.060 mg/L for TTHM or 0.045 mg/L for HAA5, or if the source water annual average TOC level, before any treatment, is >4.0 mg/L at any treatment plant treating surface water or groundwater under the direct influence of surface water, the water supplier shall resume routine monitoring under s. NR 809.61 or begin increased monitoring under sub. (2). NR 809.63(1)(f)(f) The department may return a public water system to routine monitoring, at any time, at the department’s discretion. NR 809.63(2)(a)(a) A public water system that is required to monitor at a particular location annually or less frequently than annually under s. NR 809.62 or 809.63 (1), shall increase monitoring to dual sample sets once per quarter at all locations if a TTHM sample is >0.080 mg/L or a HAA5 sample is >0.060 mg/L at any location. NR 809.63(2)(am)(am) Water suppliers shall conduct increased monitoring under this paragraph at the monitoring locations in the monitoring plan developed under s. NR 809.62 beginning on the date identified in s. NR 809.60 (3) for compliance with this subchapter. The public water system shall remain on increased monitoring until it qualifies to return to routine monitoring under s. NR 809.61. NR 809.63(2)(b)(b) Samples shall be taken every 90 days plus or minus 5 days beginning from the date of collection of the original sample that exceeded the MCL for either TTHM or HAA5. NR 809.63(3)(3) MCL violation determination. A public water system is in violation of the MCL when the LRAA for TTHM or HAA5 exceeds the MCLs in s. NR 809.561 (3), calculated based on four consecutive quarters of monitoring or the LRAA calculated based on fewer than four quarters of data if the MCL would be exceeded regardless of the monitoring results of subsequent quarters. NR 809.63(4)(4) Return to routine monitoring. The department may return a public water system to routine monitoring once the water supplier has completed increased monitoring for at least four consecutive quarters and the LRAA for every monitoring location is <0.060 mg/L for TTHM and <0.045 mg/L for HAA5. NR 809.63(5)(5) Violation of monitoring requirements. A public water system is in violation of the monitoring requirements if the water supplier fails to monitor during a quarter and for each subsequent quarter that the monitoring result would have been used in calculating a LRAA.
