1. Caryn.Benjamin@la.gov Revised July 2015 Safe Drinking Water Program

2. ROUND 2 Source Sampling Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule LT2 ESWTR LT2 was promulgated on January 5, 2006 And is Effective on March 6, 2006 This rule only applies to Surface Water Systems!

3. LT2 ESWTR – Round 2 Source Water Monitoring §141.701 (a) & (b): PopulationMonitor forFrequency and Duration  10,000 Schedules 1, 2 & 3 Crypto, E. coli and turbidity Once per month24 months < 10,000 1 Schedule 4 E. coli 2 Once per 2 weeks12 months 1 Systems that serve less than 10,000 can monitor for Crypto instead of E. coli at least twice per month for 12 months or monthly for 24 months. 2 Unless Crypto monitoring is triggered if annual mean ≤ 100 E.coli/100mL per the February 4, 2010 Memorandum from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Note: Wholesale system must follow the schedule of the largest system in the combined distribution system (CDS). Systems that purchase water and do not have their own surface water source do not have to comply with this rule!

4. LT2 ESWTR – Round 2 Monitoring Avoidance §141.701 (d): 1.If filtered systems provide a total of at least 5.5-log of treatment for Cryptosporidium (equal to Bin 4 treatment in §141.711) Note: The system must notify the state the intent to provide the above no later than the date for submitting the sampling schedule for monitoring (see next slide)

6. LT2 ESWTR – Round 2 Second Round Source Water Monitoring Schedules §141.701 (c) Schedule & Population Sampling Schedule Due Second Round Starts 1  100,000 January 1, 2015April 1, 2015 250,000 - 99,999July 1, 2015October 1, 2015 310,000 - 49,999July 1, 2016October 1, 2016 4 < 10,000 & monitor for E. coli 1 July 1, 2017October 1, 2017 5 < 10,000 & monitor for Cryptosporidium 2 Twice per month (12) or once per month (24) January 1, 2019April 1, 2019 1 Applies only to filtered systems 2 Applies to filter systems that have an annual mean of 100 E. coli /100 mL or greater.

7. LT2 ESWTR Round 2 Sampling Schedules and Monitoring Plans: Sample schedules must be approved by DHH. Systems m ust submit their monitoring plan to DHH:  By E-mail: caryn.benjamin@la.gov orcaryn.benjamin@la.gov  By Mail: P.O. Box 4489, Baton Rouge, LA 70821 For systems that analyze their own E. coli samples, E. coli results must be submitted to the State by the 10 th of the month following the month that the samples were collected in. Note: the water system’s lab must be DHH-certified for E. coli enumeration method. Source Water Monitoring Guidance Manual: http://www.epa.gov/safewater/disinfection/lt2/pdfs/guide_lt2_swmonitoringguidance.pdf

8. LT2 ESWTR Round 2 Sample Collection: Collect samples per the approved sampling schedule and monitoring plan. Any deviation must be approved by DHH. For any sample rejections or recollections, the sample must be recollected within 21 days. Crypto samples must be at least 10 L (22.5 lbs.) or filtered. Fill the 10 L cubitainer to the neck line. You should weigh the sample prior to shipment to avoid sample rejection. E. coli samples analyzed by DHH must be collected in 7 oz. sample bags (larger than bacteriological sample bags) provided by DHH. Must leave 1” of air space in the collection bags.

9. LT2 ESWTR Round 2 Sample Shipping & Analysis: Samples must be shipped same day or next day to the DHH State lab in Baton Rouge and kept at the required temperatures: – E. coli < 10 o C, not frozen – Crypto < 20 o C, not frozen Lab must start analyzing for Crypto within 96 hours and E.coli within 30 hours. Samples must be analyzed by an EPA Approved/Certified Lab DHH will analyze both Crypto and E. coli samples for LT 2 Round 2 monitoring.

10. Requirements for E. coli analysis: DHH-OPH Lab 8 Forms - must be filled out with Mandatory Information (see next slide); place inside a Ziploc bag. Use 7-oz. sample bags supplied by DHH-OPH since the bags require QC by the State Lab Use small ice chest labeled Raw Water Samples Only with a sample bag rack, don’t combine w/ finished DW samples. Use wet ice in doubled Ziploc bags secured with tap. Samples must be at required temperature upon receipt at lab; samples cannot be frozen (may need to chill to 1-10°C prior to shipment) Samples that were not collected the same day they were received, and that are received at >10°C or are frozen, or samples that the laboratory has determined exceeded >10°C or froze during shipment, must be rejected.

11. Use Non Potable Section & Insert 6 Put: Water body type, FS-flowing stream or RL for Lake Lab 8 Form Put Source water Turbidity Only for systems 10K+

12. Lab 8 Form for E. coli PWS ID – supplied by system Facility ID (e.g., PWS ID or Intake ID) – supplied by system Name of sampler – supplied by system (collected by who?) Sample Identification – supplied on Lab 8 Form (stick on sample) Sample Collection Point ID (POC ID) – supplied by system Sample Collection Date and Time – supplied by system (24hr clock) Sample Type – mark Non Potable 6. Source Water Turbidity – e.g., 50 NTU (only for Systems >10K) Source Water Type – put in comments field: FS for a flowing stream (e.g., river or bayou) or R/L for a Reservoir or Lake Analytical Method number – supplied by Lab Method type – supplied by the Lab Project Code - 0838

13. Requirements for Crypto analysis: Sample Collection Form - must be filled out with Mandatory Information (see next slide); place inside a Ziploc bag. Use 10-Liter sample containers supplied by DHH-OPH Use large ice chest labeled Raw Water Samples Only; don’t combine w/ finished DW samples. Samples not weighing at least 22.5 lbs will be rejected. You should weigh the sample prior to shipment to avoid sample rejection. Samples that were not collected the same day they were received, and that are received at >20°C or frozen, or samples that the laboratory has determined exceeded >20°C or froze during shipment, must be rejected. Under filled – fill to neck line

14. Requirements for Crypto analysis:

16. LT2ESWTR – Round 2 Bin Classifications - Systems 10,000 or greater must submit their Bin Classification (based on Crypto data) to the District Office within 180 days of completing the source water monitoring. E. coli Averages - Systems less than 10,000 must submit their Highest E.coli Average (of the 12 sample running average) to the District Office within 180 days of completing the source water monitoring.
