RULE NOS.:RULE TITLES:

62-550.310Primary Drinking Water Standards: Maximum Contaminant Levels and Maximum Residual Disinfectant Levels

62-550.519Radionuclides Monitoring Requirements

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose is to ensure that customers served by non-transient non-community (NTNC) water systems, such as institutions, schools, daycares, and labor camps, are protected against exposure to Radionuclide contaminants such as Radium and Uranium. It is expected that over 2,500 Florida customers served by these school, daycare, institution and labor camp water systems will have reduced exposure Radionuclides contamination.

SUMMARY: The revisions will require NTNC water systems to monitor periodically and meet drinking water standards for the Radiological series of contaminants similar to what the community systems are required to do at present.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

The Agency has determined that this will have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has been prepared by the Agency.

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein:

62-550.519 Radionuclides Monitoring Requirements.

This section contains monitoring frequency and compliance requirements for radionuclides for community and nontransient noncommunity water systems.

(1) Monitoring and Compliance Requirements for Gross Alpha Particle Activity, Radium-226, Radium-228, and Uranium.

(a) Community water systems (CWSs) and nontransient noncommunity water systems (NTNCs) shall conduct monitoring to determine compliance with paragraph 62-550.310(6)(a), F.A.C.

1. All existing CWSs and NTNCs shall sample at every entry point to the distribution system under normal operating conditions.

2. All new CWSs and new NTNCs community water systems or existing CWSs or NTNCs community water systems that use a new source of water shall begin to conduct initial monitoring for the new source within the first quarter after initiating use of the source.

3. through 4. No change.

(b) Initial monitoring: Systems shall conduct initial monitoring for gross alpha particle activity, radium--226, radium-228, and uranium as follows:

1. Systems shall collect four consecutive quarterly samples at all sampling points. All CWSs will have completed their initial monitoring by January 1, 2007.  CWSs constructed after that time and all new NTNCs will conduct one year of initial monitoring within the first year of operation. Systems serving more than 3,300 people shall begin sampling January 1, 2005. Systems serving 3,300 or fewer people shall begin sampling January 1, 2006. Existing CWSs and NTNCs can use historical data to satisfy the initial monitoring requirement as specified in paragraph 62-550.519(1)(c), F.A.C. below. New systems and new plants will begin monitoring as directed by the Department.

2. through 3. No change.

4. During the initial monitoring period, if the average of the results for a given contaminant is above half the MCL but at or below the MCL, systems serving more than 3,300 people shall sample again for that contaminant during 2008. Systems serving 3,300 or fewer people shall sample again during 2009.

5. During the initial monitoring period, if the average of the results for a given contaminant is at or above the regulatory detection limit but at or below half the MCL, systems serving more than 3,300 people shall sample again for that contaminant during 2011. Systems serving 3,300 or fewer people shall sample again during 2012.

4.6. CWSs Systems serving more than 3,300 people that were are required to sample prior to January 1, 2012 during the initial monitoring period and had have no detections shall sample again during 2014. CWSs Systems serving 3,300 or fewer people that were are required to sample prior to January 1, 2013 during the initial monitoring period and had have no detections shall sample again during 2015. All existing NTNCs shall begin routine monitoring under paragraph 62-550.519(1)(d), F.A.C., starting January 1, 2016, unless the system has historical data that allows them to go either to reduced monitoring or waives the monitoring requirement entirely.

(c) Use of Historical Data. Under the following conditions, CWS’s data gathered between June 1, 2000, and December 8, 2003 and NTNC’s data gathered between January 1, 1996 and December 31, 2015, may be used to satisfy the requirement to monitor during the initial monitoring period described in paragraph 62-550.519(1)(b), F.A.C., above.

1. through 5. No change.

(d) Routine monitoring began begins January 1, 2008, for community water systems serving 3,300 or more people. Community water systems serving fewer than 3,300 people began begins monitoring January 1, 2009. NTNCs will begin routine monitoring January 1, 2016. Routine monitoring will take place every three years and must meet the following conditions:

1. No change.

2. The gross alpha result shall not exceed 15 pCi/L. The system may either sample for uranium or may substitute the gross alpha value if it is less than 15 pCi/L. If the gross alpha value exceeds 15 pCi/L, the system must sample for uranium. The uranium result shall be subtracted from the gross alpha result in order to determine compliance with the gross alpha MCL. In the event the gross alpha result minus the uranium result exceeds 15 pCi/L, the system shall begin quarterly monitoring for gross alpha.

3. The uranium value shall not exceed 30 ug/L (20 pCi/L). In the event the uranium value exceeds 30 ug/L (20 pCi/L), the system shall begin quarterly monitoring for uranium.

4. No change.

5. The combined value for radium-226 and radium-228 shall not exceed 5 pCi/L. In the event the combined value for radium 226 and radium 228 result exceeds 5 pCi/L, the system shall begin quarterly monitoring for both radium-226 and radium-228.

(e) Reduced monitoring. The Department shall allow community and NTNC water systems to reduce the future frequency of monitoring at each sampling point from once every three years or once every six years to once every six or nine years or waive monitoring for NTNCs altogether at each sampling point, based on the following criteria:

1. If the monitoring result for a contaminant (i.e., gross alpha particle activity, uranium, radium-226, or radium-228) is below the regulatory detection limit specified in paragraph 62-550.310(6)(c), F.A.C., above, the CWS the system shall collect and analyze for that contaminant at that sampling point every nine years, and a NTNC is waived from any future monitoring for that contaminant.

2. For gross alpha particle activity and uranium, if the monitoring results for each contaminant is at or above the regulatory detection limit but at or below half the MCL, the CWS system shall collect and analyze for that contaminant using at least one sample at that sampling point every six years and the NTNC shall collect and analyze for that contaminant using at least one sample at that sampling point every nine years. For radium-226 and radium-228, the analytical results shall be combined. If the combined monitoring result for radium-226 and radium-228 is at or above 1 pCi/L, but at or below half the MCL (2.5 pCi/L), the CWS shall collect and analyze for that contaminant using at least one sample at that sampling point every six years and the NTNC shall collect and analyze for that contaminant using at least one sample at that sampling point every nine years system shall collect and analyze for those contaminants at that sampling point every six years.

3. For gross alpha particle activity and uranium, if the monitoring results for each contaminant is above half the MCL but at or below the MCL, the CWS system shall remain on routine monitoring and shall collect and analyze at least one sample at that sampling point every three years and every six years for a NTNC system. If the combined monitoring result for radium-226 and radium-228 is above half the MCL but at or below the MCL, the CWS system shall remain on routine monitoring and shall collect and analyze at least one sample at that sampling point every three years, and every six years for the NTNC system.

4. No change.

(f) through (j) No change.

(k) Use of Historical Data. Under the following conditions, data gathered between June 1, 2000 and December 8, 2003 for CWSs and between January 1, 1996 and December 31, 2015 for NTNCs, may be used to satisfy the requirement to monitor during the initial monitoring period described in paragraph 62-550.519(1)(b), F.A.C., above or may be used to allow a NTNC to go to reduced monitoring or waive the monitroing requirement altogether.

1. through 4. No change.

(2) Monitoring and Compliance Requirements for Beta Particle and Photon Radioactivity. These requirements only apply to community water systems. To determine compliance with the maximum contaminant levels in paragraph 62-550.310(6)(b), F.A.C., for beta particle and photon radioactivity, a CWS system shall monitor at a frequency as follows:

(a) through (f) No change.
