DHS 157.96(3)(b)3.c.c. Annual monitoring for strontium-90 and tritium shall be conducted by means of the analysis of a composite of 4 consecutive quarterly samples or analysis of 4 quarterly samples. DHS 157.96(3)(b)3.d.d. Data obtained by the direct monitoring of water supplies in the areas surrounding nuclear facilities may be utilized by the supplier where the department determines such data is applicable to a particular community water system. DHS 157.96(3)(b)4.4. If the average annual maximum contaminant level for man-made radioactivity specified in sub. (1) (b) is exceeded, the operator of a community water system shall give notice to the department under sub. (7) and to the public as required by sub. (8). Monitoring at monthly intervals shall be continued until the concentration no longer exceeds the maximum contaminant level or until a monitoring schedule as a condition to a variance, exemption or enforcement action becomes effective. DHS 157.96(4)(4) Alternative analytical techniques. With the written permission of the department concurred in by the administrator of the U.S. environmental protection agency, an alternative analytical technique may be employed. An alternative technique shall be acceptable only if it is substantially equivalent to the prescribed test in sub. (1) in both precision and accuracy as it relates to the determination of compliance with any maximum contaminant level. The use of the alternative analytical technique may not decrease the frequency of monitoring required by sub. (3). DHS 157.96(5)(5) Approved laboratories. For the purpose of determining compliance with this section, samples shall be considered only if the samples have been analyzed by a laboratory approved by the department. DHS 157.96(6)(6) Monitoring of consecutive public water systems. When a public water system supplies water to one or more other public water systems, the department of natural resources may modify the monitoring requirements imposed by this section if the interconnection of the systems justifies treating them as a single system for monitoring purposes. Any modified monitoring shall be conducted under a schedule specified by the department of natural resources and concurred in by the administrator of the U.S. environmental protection agency. DHS 157.96(7)(a)(a) Routine reports. Except where a shorter reporting period is specified in this section, a supplier of water shall report the results of a test, measurement or analysis required to be made under this section to the department within 40 days following the test, measurement or analysis. DHS 157.96(7)(b)(b) Noncompliance reporting. A supplier of water shall report to the department within 48 hours noncompliance with any provision of this section, including failure to comply with monitoring requirements. DHS 157.96(7)(c)(c) Exceptions. A supplier of water is not required to report analytical results to the department when the department performs the analysis. DHS 157.96(9)(9) Record maintenance. A supplier of water shall maintain records as prescribed in s. NR 809.82. DHS 157.96(10)(10) Variance and exemptions. Variances and exemptions may be granted from any requirement regarding a maximum contaminant level for radioactivity as prescribed in ss. NR 809.90 and 809.91. subch. XV of ch. DHS 157Subchapter XV — Physical Protections of Category 1 and Category 2 Quantities of Radioactive Material DHS 157.9700(1)(a)(a) A licensee that possesses a quantity of radioactive material at or above the category 2 quantity of radioactive material threshold shall establish, implement, and maintain an access authorization program that meets the requirements of this subchapter. DHS 157.9700(1)(b)(b) An applicant for a new license and a licensee that would become newly subject to the requirements of this subchapter upon application to amend its license shall implement the requirements of this subchapter as appropriate and be inspected by the department before taking possession of a category 1 or category 2 quantity of radioactive material. DHS 157.9700(1)(c)(c) A licensee that has not previously implemented the physical protection license condition requirements or been subject to the provisions of this section and ss. DHS 157.9701 to 157.9706 shall implement the provisions of this section and ss. DHS 157.9701 to 157.9706 before aggregating radioactive material to a quantity that equals or exceeds the category 2 threshold. DHS 157.9700(2)(2) General performance objective. The licensee’s access authorization program shall ensure that the individuals specified in sub. (3) (a) are trustworthy and reliable. DHS 157.9700(3)(a)1.1. An individual whose assigned duties require unescorted access to category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive material or to any device that contains the radioactive material. DHS 157.9700(3)(c)(c) Except as provided in par. (d), a licensee shall approve for unescorted access to category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive material only those individuals with job duties that require unescorted access to category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive material.
