NR 809.02NR 809.02 Departmental justification. NR 809.02(1)(1) Where the department exercises discretion allowed under this chapter to require a water supplier for a public water system to perform construction, repairs, monitoring or other activities which would necessitate expenditure of resources, the department shall explain in writing the reasons for the requirements. NR 809.02(2)(2) A decision by the department to grant a waiver shall be made in writing and shall set forth the basis for the determination. The waiver determination may be initiated by the department or upon an application by the water supplier for a public water system. NR 809.02 HistoryHistory: CR 09-073: cr. Register November 2010 No. 659, eff. 12-1-10. NR 809.03NR 809.03 Applicability. The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all new and existing public water systems, water suppliers, and laboratories certified to analyze drinking water. NR 809.04NR 809.04 Definitions. In this chapter: NR 809.04(1)(1) “Action level” is the concentration of lead or copper in water which determines, in some cases, the treatment requirements that a public water system is required to complete. NR 809.04(2)(2) “Best available technology” or “BAT” means the best technology treatment techniques, or other means which the U.S. environmental protection agency finds, after examination for efficacy under field conditions and not solely under laboratory conditions, are available, taking cost into consideration. NR 809.04(2g)(2g) “Circuit rider” means a roving technical expert employed by a state rural water association to provide training and assistance to rural and small water utilities within the state. NR 809.04(2r)(2r) “Clean compliance history” means a record of no E. coli MCL violations under s. NR 809.31; no monitoring violations under s. NR 809.312; and no coliform treatment technique trigger exceedances or treatment technique violations under s. NR 809.313. NR 809.04(3)(3) “Coagulation” means a process using coagulant chemicals and mixing by which colloidal and suspended materials are destabilized and agglomerated into flocs. NR 809.04(4)(4) “Combined distribution system” means an interconnected distribution system consisting of the distribution systems of wholesale systems and of the consecutive systems that receive finished water. NR 809.04(5)(5) “Community water system” or “CWS” means a public water system which serves at least 15 service connections used by year-round residents or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Any public water system serving 7 or more homes, 10 or more mobile homes, 10 or more apartment units, or 10 or more condominium units is a community water system unless information is available to indicate that 25 year-round residents will not be served. NR 809.04(6)(6) “Compliance cycle” means the 9-year calendar year cycle during which public water systems monitor. Each compliance cycle consists of 3, 3 year compliance periods. The first compliance cycle begins January 1, 1993 and ends December 31, 2001; the second begins January 1, 2002 and ends December 31, 2010; the third begins January 1, 2011 and ends December 31, 2019. NR 809.04(7)(7) “Compliance period” means a 3-year calendar year period within a compliance cycle. Each compliance cycle has 3, 3-year compliance periods. Within the first compliance cycle, the first compliance period runs from January 1, 1993 to December 31, 1995; the second from January 1, 1996 to December 31, 1998; the third from January 1, 1999 to December 31, 2001. NR 809.04(8)(8) “Comprehensive performance evaluation” or “CPE” means a thorough review and analysis of a treatment plant’s performance-based capabilities and associated administrative, operation and maintenance practices. It is conducted to identify factors that may be adversely impacting a plant’s capability to achieve compliance and emphasizes approaches that can be implemented without significant capital improvements. For purposes of compliance with this chapter, the comprehensive performance evaluation consists of at least the following components: Assessment of plant performance; evaluation of major unit processes; identification and prioritization of performance limiting factors; assessment of the applicability of comprehensive technical assistance; and preparation of a CPE report. NR 809.04(9)(9) “Confirmed presence” means the presence of coliform bacteria in a water sample confirmed by a total coliform-positive repeat sample. NR 809.04(10)(10) “Confluent growth” means a continuous bacterial growth covering the entire filtration area of a membrane filter, or a portion thereof, in which bacterial colonies are not discrete. NR 809.04(11)(11) “Consecutive System” means a public water system that receives some or all of its finished water from one or more wholesale systems through a master metering system. This public water system may also be known as a wholesale purchaser or wholesale customer. Delivery may be through a direct connection or through the distribution system of one or more consecutive systems. NR 809.04(12)(12) “Conventional filtration treatment” means a series of processes including coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration resulting in substantial particulate removal. NR 809.04(13)(13) “Contaminant” means any physical, chemical, biological, or radiological substance or matter in water. NR 809.04(14)(14) “Corrosion inhibitor” means a substance capable of reducing the corrosivity of water toward metal plumbing materials, especially lead and copper, by forming a protective film on the interior surface of those materials. NR 809.04(15)(15) “CT” or “CTcalc” is the product of the residual disinfectant concentration (C) in mg/l determined before or at the first customer, and the corresponding disinfectant contact time (T) in minutes, i.e., “C” x “T”. If a public water system applies disinfectants at more than one point prior to the first customer, it shall determine the CT of each disinfectant sequence before or at the first customer, to determine the total percent inactivation or “total inactivation ratio.” The inactivation ratio for a single disinfectant sequence is: where “CTtable” is the CT value required for the target organism and the target level of inactivation as contained in ss. NR 810.47 to 810.61. The sum of the inactivation ratios, or total inactivation ratio for a series of disinfection sequences is: and is calculated by adding together the inactivation ratio for each disinfection sequence. In determining the total inactivation ratio, the water supplier determines the residual disinfectant concentration of each sequence and corresponding contact time before any subsequent disinfection application points. A total inactivation ratio equal to or greater than 1.0 is assumed to provide the target level of disinfection of the target organism.
NR 809.04(16)(16) “Department” means the department of natural resources.
