Lead and Copper

401 KAR 8:300.  Lead and copper.

The system shall collect samples according to the approved sample site plan.  The number of samples required is based upon population served. Initially, the system shall collect two consecutive six-month periods, then reduce to annually for two consecutive years (June 1 to Sept. 30) at half the number of samples required initially, then further reduce to once every third year (June 1 to Sept. 30) at half the number of samples required initially.  An exceedance occurs when more than 10 percent of the samples collected are greater than the action level of 0.015 mg/l for lead or 1.3 mg/l for copper.  An exceedance triggers one or more of the following treatment technique requirements: Public Education, Water Quality Parameter Testing, Corrosion Control Treatment, Source Water Treatment and/or Lead Service Line Replacement.  The system shall also resume lead and copper monitoring at the initial monitoring phase.
