It is a pleasure to transmit the first version of the Consolidated Summary of State
Reporting Requirements for the Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) to you. This
document is identical to the one that was originally sent to you by Cynthia Dougherty in
December, 1995 as an advanced copy for your use, The format of loose leaf pages with punched
holes was chosen so that, in the future, this document could be easily updated by sending only
replacement pages.
This document was created for several reasons. First, it is meant to satisfy the need that
was expressed on several occasions, especially by the States, for a single, concise reference where
anyone could go to find all of the SDWIS reporting requirements under the Public Water Supply
Supervision program. To keep it concise, this document does not contain any of the technical
details on reporting, but focuses on the "what" to report.
Second, this document was created with the future in mind, where, with a single reference,
one can capture all of the reporting requirements for the drinking water program. It is the Data
Sharing Committee's (DSC) recommendation that this document be used in this way, for
example, by reference in State/EPA Environmental Performance Partnership Agreements.
Third, this document will serve as a resource for both the DSC and the Data Quality Team
and possibly other groups that will be dealing with drinking water reporting issues. As the
recommendations of the DSC become implemented, any changes to the reporting requirements
will be reflected in updates to this document., In this way, this document will always contain the
most up-to-date summary of the current reporting requirements.
Thank you to everyone that provided comments on the drafts of this document. Your
input helped us to produce what we believe is a quality document. It is our hope that this
document will serve the purposes mentioned above and that it will be useful to you.
Sincerely,
Tom Poleck, Chairman
For the Data Sharing Committee

PREAMBLE
This document provides guidance to the States on reporting required data to the Federal version of the Safe
Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS/FED). The Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) Data Sharing
Committee (DSC) oversaw the development of this document through a contract with The Cadmus Group, Inc.
While the purpose of the DSC is to review the data needs of the U.S. EPA and to recommend changes to State
reporting requirements, all of the current requirements discussed in this document have not been reviewed to date.
Issuance of this document, therefore, does not constitute a reaffirmation of all current reporting requirements for
SDWIS/FED. This document simply summarizes the current requirements which will remain in effect until they
are reviewed and possibly changed by the DSC and the Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water at a later date.
This document does not contain all of the detail behind "how" to report the required data, but focuses more on the
"what" to report. See the references listed in this document for the details behind how to report. Any questions
regarding the use of this document, and/or its contents, should be directed to the persons identified in Appendix A.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The current PWSS Program reporting requirements originiated in the late 1980's in response to the promulgation
of various National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR) following the 1986 ammendments to the Safe
Drinking Water Act. At that time, the U.S. EPA developed a national database management system, called the
Federal Reporting Data System (FRDS), to maintain basic inventory, violation, enforcement, and variance/-
exemption data, that were needed for Federal oversight of the State PWSS programs. The original reporting
requirements were documented in two guidance documents, Water Supply Guidance V-l and Water Supply
Guidance V-2, as well as in the FRDS user documentation.
Over time as new regulations became effective, the reporting requirements were expanded and modified. Typi-
cally, a separate reporting guidance document was developed for each new regulation. Some of these new
regulations contained features and subsequent reporting requirements, specifically on treatment techniques, that
could not be readily accommodated by FRDS. These factors, to name only a couple, contributed to the relatively
complicated, rule specific, and separately referenced reporting requirements that currently exist.
This document was produced in response to requests that were made by many States to have all of the current
reporting requirements consolidated into a single reference document, and should serve as a general reference for
all currently required SDWIS/FED reporting.
This document was also developed for the following purposes:
o to serve as a technical reference listing both FRDS data elements and the associated SDWIS attributes for
reporting data to SDWIS/FED, and should also be useful for the retrieval of information,
o to serve as a baseline reference document for the Data Sharing Committee that lists all of the current
requirements, and
o to serve as a technical reference document to be used by the Data Quality Team for the numerous data
quality initiatives that they are pursuing.
The remainder of this document is divided into two main parts. Part I is an overall summary of the current
reporting requirements presented in a single table. Part II provides a more detailed summary of the reporting
requirements presented in separate sections for each drinking water rule.
DATE: November, 1995 RELEASE NO. 1
-------
PART I. CONSOLIDATED SUMMARY OF CURRENT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Table SUM-1 summarizes all of the current reporting requirements in both FRDS and SDWIS terminology Table
SUM-1 also lists whether a particular data element/attribute is required for a specific drinking water rule, such as
the Total Coliform Rule (TCR), or the Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR).
The current reporting requirements are composed of two types of requirements; registration and grant eligibility.
Registration requirements are those data elements that are either operationally required by FRDS to process the
data on a public water system, or are programmatically required by the U.S. EPA to define each PWS or to meet
some basic program need. These two types of registration requirements can also be conditionally required
depending on the data being reported.
In some cases, conditionally required data elements must only be reported to meet the operational requirements of
the FRDS data system. For example, C301 (PWS-AD-ID) is the identification number (secondary qualifier after
the PWSID) for the C300 (Other Address) FRDS database record, and needs to be reported if other address data
are reported. Other address information is not a current reporting requirement, so the appearance of C301 in
Table SUM-1 occurs only for completeness sake, not because it should be considered a current reporting require-
ment.
The same concept is true for latitude/longitude data (C415 and C417), and cadastral data (C418, C419, C421,
C423, and C425). Although the reporting of latitude/longitude data has been a U.S. EPA requirement under the
1991 EPA Locational Data Policy, this requirement has yet to be officially implemented as a FRDS or
SDWIS/FED reporting requirement by the Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water. The "conditional"
designation of these particular data elements suggests that, if these optional data are reported, then both latitude
and longitude must be reported. Latitude and longitude data are currently under consideration as new reporting
requirements for SDWIS/FED.
Grant elibility requirements are those data elements that define a PWS for PWSS State grant allottment purposes.
Each year, FRDS, now SDWIS/FED, is used to determine the percentage of the total national PWSS grant
allocation that will go to each State. Only systems that contain valid data for all of the grant elibility data elements
are considered in this calculation.
A few reporting requirements summarized in this document were not clearly described by any of the available
reference documents. These uncertain requirements were researched by consulting with senior OGWDW and
contractor personnel that were involved with the development of the original reporting requirements. Clarifica-
tions to those reporting requirements are provided below.
Currently to have a PWS inventory registered into FRDS/SDWIS-FED, at least one source record needs to
be reported along with all of the other required inventory data elements. Although only one source is
needed to register a PWS inventory in SDWIS/FED, the intent of this reporting requirement was always to
have all sources of water reported for each PWS. This document therefore clarifies this requirement by
stating that all active sources of-water should be reported for each PWS.
FRDS data element C411 (PWS-SE-SELLER-ID) is required to be reported for all consecutive PWSs.
Although a general characteristic of inventory, this data element is specifically needed under the SWTR.
In SDWIS/FED, these data are represented by the relationship between WATERJSYSTEMSs via the
WATERJPURCHASE entity type.
DATE: November, 1995 ' RELEASE NO. 1
-------
Although not specifically listed as a FRDS reporting requirement, C1280 Enforcement-Violation Link
records are required reporting to FRDS/SDWIS-FED. These data are needed to link follow-up actions to
violations. See Table ENF-4 in Section 7 for a description of the data needed to properly link follow-up
actions to violations. The proper linkage of follow-up actions to violations would have a single action
linked to multiple violations (e.g., a single notice of violation record linked to several synthetic organic
chemical (SOC) monitoring/reporting (M/R) violations if a single notice was sent in response to a failure
to monitor for al of the regulated SOCs). In this case, separate follow-up actions should not be reported
for each, separately reported, SOC M/R violation.

1. TOTAL COLIFORM RULE
BACKGROUND
The Total Coliform Rule (TCR) became effective on December 30, 1990, and updated bacteriological
monitoring for PWSs. The number of samples to be collected and analyzed is based on population served by
the system. The State may permit any system serving < 1,000 persons to sample less frequently than monthly
if the system uses protected ground water, has no history of total coliform contamination, and a sanitary
survey shows the system is free of sanitary defects.
Any samples that test positive for total coliform (TC+) must be analyzed for fecal coliform (FC) or E. coli
(i.e., must be speciated). In addition, repeat samples must be collected within 24 hours (longer with State
permission). For systems collecting < 5 samples per month, monitoring the next month increases to 5
samples per month following a positive result.
FRDS/SDWIS REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
A. State Decisions
None are required to be reported.
B. Violations
Under the TCR, a PWS could incur 2 types of MCL violations and 5 types of M/R violations (as
shown in Table TCR-1). Table TCR-2 lists the data elements that must be reported for each TCR
Table TCR-1: FRDS C1105 (TCR Violation Type Codes) /SDWIS VIOLATION, TFRVTYPE_-

For systems collecting:
> 40 samples - more than 5% are TC+
< 40 samples - > 1 sample TC+ (repeat or routine)
Note: Also applies to systems on quarterly and annual monitoring schedules.
No samples collected for compliance period
Some but not all samples collected for compliance period
No follow-up samples collected after a TC+ sample or no speciation
Some but not all follow-up samples collected or speciated for compliance period

Fails to have a sanitary survey conducted at the required frequency:
CWS: by 6/29/94 and a min. of lx/5 yrs, thereafter
NCWS: by 6/29/99 and a min. of Ix/lOyrs, thereafter , •
Note: Only necessary to PWSs collecting < 5 samples, or these systems must
collect 5 samples.

C. Public Notification
Any system that incurs a TCR violation is subject to public notification (PN) requirements contained
in §141.32. Mandatory health effects language in §§141.32(e)(l 1) or (12) must be included in PN
materials when a system incurs a "22" (monthly MCL) or "21" (acute MCL) violation, respectively.
Failure to meet PN delivery and content requirements, result in a PN violation. Information for the
data elements listed in Table TCR-2 must be reported for violations of § 141.32 requirements.
Additionally, the following values must be specified: Cl 103 = 3100 and Cl 105 = 06.
D. Enforcement Actions
Any formal enforcement actions taken to address a violation must be reported to FRDS/SDWIS.
EPA also encourages the reporting of informal enforcement responses, since the vast majority of
these violations are resolved through informal actions. Enforcement actions are reported in the
FRDS C1200, ENFORCEMENT-DATA record, and the SDWIS/FED ENFORCEMENT_ACTION
Entity. In addition, enforcement actions must be linked to the violations which they address.
Enforcement linking is achieved in the FRDS C1280 record, ENF-VIOLATIONS. For more detail
on which enforcement actions must be reported to FRDS/SDWIS and the linking of enforcement
actions to violations, refer to Section 7, entitled, Reporting Enforcement Information.

Note 1: If multiple TCR M/R violations (i.e., types "23" - "26") are incurred by a PWS during the same compliance period, the
state is only required to report one, in the following order of importance:
1st- "25", Major Repeat M/R
2nd- "23", Major Routine M/R
3rd- "26", Minor Repeat M/R

TCRM/R violation types orMCL violation(s). Similarly, an MCL violation should always be reported, and if both a
monthly ("22") and acute MCL violation ("21") occur during the same compliance period, both should be reported.
Note 2: a,) For violation types 21 - 26, Cl 111 would =
"001" for monthly monitoring
"003" for quarterly monitoring
"012" for annual monitoring
b.) For violation type 28, Cl 111 would -
"042" for CWSs or "102" for NCWSs which did not have sanitary survey by 6/29/94 or 6/29/99, respectively
(i.e., 42 or 102 months from TCR effective date of 1/1/91)
"060" for CWSs and "120" for NCWSs which did not have repeat sanitary survey within 5 or 10 years of last
survey, respectively (or number of months representing frequency with which states require sanitary surveys)
Note 3: A system is considered to have returned to compliance for a "28" violation when it begins collecting 5 or more
samples/month or has had a sanitary survey.

2. SURFACE WATER TREATMENT RULE
BACKGROUND
The Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR), promulgated June 1989, established criteria under which
filtration is required for public water systems (PWSs) supplied by surface water (sw) sources or ground water
under the direct influence (GUDI) of sw. This regulation also establishes treatment techniques (TT) in lieu of
maximum contaminant levels (MCL) for Giardia lamblia. viruses, heterotrophic plate count, bacteria,
Legionella. and turbidity. Systems using exclusively ground water (gw) sources that are not GUDI are
excluded from regulation under SWTR.
Under the SWTR, systems initially fall into one of three categories, the first of which can include filtering
systems with inadequate filtration:
• Filtered
• Unfiltered, required to filter
• Unfiltered, successfully avoiding filtration
The SWTR reporting requirements are based primarily on these three categories (i.e., reporting associated
with the requirement to filter, source information, and violations). A system's filtration status can change
over time. For example, an unfiltered system that is successfully avoiding filtration may be triggered into
filtration and temporarily be categorized as "unfiltered, required to filter". Unfiltered systems that are
required to filter have a maximum of 18 months to install filtration. Once filtration is in place, these systems
become filtered systems. Any changes in the filtration status of a system must be reported to FRDS/SDWIS-
FED. The filtration status is recorded in the FRDS C480, Source record. Refer to Tables SWTR-3 and
SWTR-4 for information on how to report this requirement.
FRDS/SDWIS REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
A. State Decisions
1. Filtration Requirements
• States were initially required to identify by December 1991 the sw systems that must install
filtration and to report the date the system was informed of the requirement to install
filtration and any reason(s) for this requirement.
• The Filtration Requirement Determination is recorded in the C3000 record [i.e., Variance-
Exemption-Data record]. Refer to Tables SWTR-1 & SWTR-2 for details on how to report
this determination.
• The Filtration Requirement Determination is also required to be reported for any system
that:
was successfully avoiding filtration but subsequently has been triggered into the
filtration requirement, and
have been determined to have GUDI source(s) that require filtration
DATE: November, 1995 RELEASE NO. 1
SWTR-1
-------
• The Filtration Requirement Determination is not required to be reported for system with
filtration in place prior to 12/91
2. GUDI Systems
• States must determine whether each gw or purchased gw source is GUDI by:
6/94 for CWSs
6/99 for NTNCWSs
• GUDI determinations are/were due to FRDS/SDWIS-FED by 9/94 for CWSs and 9/99 for
NTNCWSs
• Within 6 months of the GUDI determination, systems must begin meeting unfiltered M/R
requirements, or State-determined requirements
• Within 18 months of the GUDI determination, State must decide which GUDI systems must
filter
• Refer to Tables SWTR-3 and SWTR-4 for reporting of GUDI determinations

B. Source Records
States must report the type of treatment applied to each sw or GUDI source (including purchased sources).
Table SWTR-3 contains the information that is required to be reported either by source or at the treatment
plant level. This information was due to FRDS for sw sources by March 1992 and forCWS.usingGUDI by
September 1994 For NTNCWSs using GUDI, these data will be due by September 1999. Table SWTR-4
lists the additional data elements that are required.for GUDI systems. These reporting requirements (or any
under SWTR) do not apply if a system uses solely ground water.

plant (i.e., C483/C485 codes: P341, P342, P344 -P347).
Note 2: For N350 systems (unfiltered, required to filter), State also must report Filtration Determination Requirement information
indicated in Tables SWTR-1 and SWTR-2.
Note 3: Code N996 is applicable to purchased systems, where the seller is responsible for the filtration requirements.
Note 4: Code N351 is used for systems that have both sw and gw sources, where at least one gw source is not intermixed with sw.
This code only should be reported for each source or treatment plant using or treating solely gw. This is different than a PWS that has
only gw sources and no sw sources; for these system no SWTR reporting requirements apply.

Violations
To simplify reporting under the SWTR, multiple monitoring violations were aggregated into 2 types of M/R
violations and multiple treatment technique violations into 1 type. Reporting of violations is done at the PWS
level. All other SWTR reporting is done at the source or treatment plant level, except where a system has an
unfiltered and filtered source. Violations at both of these sources would be reported. The reporting
requirements for SWTR violations are explained in Table SWTR-5.

Note 3: The Contaminant Code (ERDS Cl 103) for the violation, is not reported for any SWTR violation, but is reported for related
public notification violations as discussed in paragraph D below.
Note 4: The Cl 111, Duration of Compliance Period in months, is not required because all SWTR violations are 1 month in
duration.
D. Public Notification
Section 141.32 requires that public notification (PN) be delivered whenever a system incurs an MCL,
M/R, or TT violation. For the SWTR, PN is required when a system incurs an M/R ("31" or "36") or
TT violation ("41"). Mandatory health effects language, contained in Section 142.15(e)(10), must be
included in PN materials delivered for those filtered systems that violate the treatment requirements
for filtration and disinfection (i.e., incur a "41" violation). Failure to meet the PN content and
delivery requirements must be reported to FRDS/SDWIS. The FRDS Cl 103, contaminant code, for
SWTR PN violations = 0200. The FRDS Cl 105, violation type code, for PN is "06".
E. Enforcement Actions
Formal enforcement actions taken to address SWTR violations must be reported to FRDS/SDWIS,
regardless of whether EPA or the State undertakes the action. The Regions are responsible for
reporting all EPA formal actions. EPA also encourages the reporting of informal enforcement
actions taken in response to SWTR violations, although such reporting is not required.
The FRDS C1200 ENFORCEMENT-DATA record and SDWIS/FED ENFORCEMENT_ACTION
Entity are used to report enforcement action information. See Table ENF-1 in Section 7 entitled,
Reporting Enforcement Information, for a description of the C1200 data elements for which
information must be provided and a list of formal and other enforcement actions which are required
to be reported to FRDS/SDWIS. In addition, these enforcement actions must be linked to the
violations that they address. For more detailed information regarding this linking, see Section 7,
Reporting Enforcement Information.

3. LEAD AND COPPER RULE
BACKGROUND
The Lead and Copper Rule (LCR), which was promulgated on June 7, 1991, established treatment technique
(TT) requirements when lead and/or copper exceed certain levels referred to as action levels. An exceedance
occurs when more than 10 percent of the samples collected are greater than the action level of 15 parts per
billion (ppb) for lead or 1.3 parts per million (ppm) for copper. Unlike other drinking water regulations,
exceeding the lead and/or copper action level is not a violation. Instead, this exceedance triggers one or more
of the following TT requirements: public education, corrosion .control treatment, source water treatment, and
lead service line replacement.
Lead and copper results are expressed as the 90th percentile level, which is the 90th highest sample result.
For a system collecting 10 samples, this would be the 9th highest lead or copper sample result obtained
during a monitoring period. 90th percentile values are calculated using all valid samples collected during a
compliance period.
The LCR reporting requirements are based primarily on reporting information about various milestones
associated with the LCR and violations of LCR requirements. These requirements are described in more
detail below.
FRDS/SDWIS REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
A. State Decisions/Milestones
Section 142.15 of the LCR contains state reporting requirements. Most of these requirements
represent LCR milestone events that are tracked in the FRDS C800 PWS-MILESTONE-EVENT
record and the SDWIS/FED MILESTONE_EVENT Entity. Some of these milestones denote state
decisions associated with the LCR [e.g., systems for which the state has designated or approved
optimal water quality parameters (WQPs)]. These state decisions are considered under the LCR to
be federally enforceable. Table LCR-1 below contains a description of the milestone data that must
be reported to FRDS/SDWIS-FED.

For action level cxceedances, the milestdnE-date is the last day of the monitoring period. For all other milestone
events, the milestone date is the actual date of the event.
Data must be provided for the PWS-MILESTONE-VALUE for three LCR milestones. When the lead action
level exceedance milestone is reported, the 90th percentile sample value must be recorded in the PWS-
MILESTONE-VALUE data element. When the copper 90th percentile value is exceeded, the sample value must
be recorded n the PWS-MILESTONE-VALUE data element. The PWS-MILESTONE-VALUE is also used to
record an accelerated state-specified line replacement rate when the lead service line replacement milestone is
reported.
States have the option of reporting comments associated with a milestone in the C813 record, PWS-
MELESTONE-COMMENT.
Among other LCR requirements, the § 142.15 requirements are currently being evaluated by an EPA/State work
group charged with identifying improvements in the rule's implementation. Consequently, these requirements
may be modified at a later date.

Sample Data
Section 142.15 requires the reporting of 90th percentile lead values for all large systems, and for
those medium and small systems that exceed the lead action level. Ninetieth percentile lead sample
data are to be reported to EPA using the C2100 database record (SAMPLE-DATA). FRDS/SDWIS-
FED will automatically generate the C800 PWS-MILESTONE-EVENT record for those lead
ninetieth percentile values that exceed the action level. However, if the state chooses to provide data
for the C800 record, FRDS/SDWIS-FED will not duplicate information in the FRDS C800 database
record or the SDWIS MILESTONE_EVENT Entity. Ninetieth percentile copper values are only
required to be reported when the copper action level is exceeded. Copper 90th percentile values that
exceed the action level are reported to the FRDS C800 milestone record and not to the FRDS C2100
database record. Table LCR-3 below provides a description of the data elements, contained in the
C2100 database record, that are required when any lead 90th percentile data are reported (i.e.,
exceedances or non-exceedances of the action level).

Violations
Under the LCR, violations are categorized as either monitoring and reporting (M/R) violations or TT
violations. There are 15 types of LCR violations, six of which are M/R violations and the remaining
nine are TT violations. See Table LCR-4 for an itemized list of these violations and their
corresponding FRDS/SDWIS-FED codes. For a detailed description of LCR violations, see the
discussion beginning on page 21 of the "Lead and Copper Rule, Definitions and Federal Reporting
for Milestones, Violations, and SNCs," May 1992.
Table LCR-4 also contains the data elements for .which FRDS/SDWIS-FED will provide default
values, as well as the default values listed for each violation type. FRDS/SDWIS-FED can generate
these values based on information about a violation or partial information with which it is supplied.
For example, a value of 6 months is automatically provided for the FRDS Cl 111 data element when
an initial lead and copper tap monitoring and reporting violation is reported. FRDS/SDWIS-FED
will also perform range checks of compliance date information to ensure that violations are reported
for the appropriate time frame.

NOTE 1: The VIO-CONTAMINANT code of 5000 is automatically generated by FRDS/SDWIS-FED for most LCR
violations, except MPL and public notification noncompliance. For MPL noncompliance a 1030 value for lead
and a 1022 value for copper should be specified by the state for the VIO-CONTAMINANT data element. For
public notification noncompliance, the 5000 value must be provided by the state.
NOTE 2: FRDS/SDWIS-FED will automatically generate a value for Cl 109 (SDWIS: COMPLIANCE_-
PERIOD_END_DATE), and Cl 111 for many LCR violations based on other information provided. See Table
LCR-4 for a list of LCR violations for which FRDS/SDWIS-FED generates these values. When FRDS/SDWIS-
FED does not generate these values, only Cl 109 or Cl 111 is required to be reported because FRDS/SDWIS-
FED will generate the corresponding value.

D. Public Notification
Any system that incurs an LCR violation is subject to public notification requirements, which are
codified in § 141.32. Information for the data elements listed in Table LCR-5 must be reported for
violations of § 141.32 requirements. Additionally, the following values must be specified: Cl 103 =
5000 and Cl 105 = 06.
E. Enforcement Actions
M/R and TT violations of LCR requirements must be reported as described in Table LCR-5. In
addition, any formal enforcement actions taken to address these violations must be reported to
FRDS/SDWIS, regardless of whether EPA or the State undertakes the action. EPA also encourages
the reporting of informal enforcement actions taken in response to LCR violations, although such
reporting is not required.
The C1200 ENFORCEMENT-DATA record is used to report enforcement action information. See
Table ENF-1 in Section 7, Reporting Enforcement Information, for a description of the C1200 data
elements for which information must be provided and a list of formal and other enforcement actions
which are required to be reported to FRDS/SDWIS.
When enforcement actions that address LCR violations are reported to FRDS, they must be linked or
associated with the violations they address. As with all other enforcement actions addressing
NPDWR violations, there are three ways to link enforcement actions to violations. For more detailed
information regarding this linking, see Section 7, Reporting Enforcement Information.
F. Return to Compliance
Information indicating that a water system is no longer incurring an LCR violation [or has returned to
compliance (RTC)] must be reported to EPA. RTC is reported as "compliance achieved" and is
among those enforcement actions that are required to be reported to FRDS/SDWIS. Compliance
achieved is also recorded in the C1200 ENFORCEMENT-DATA record. For a definition of RTC
for each of the 15 LCR violations, see Table LCR-6, or pages 19 and 20 of the "Lead and Copper
Rule, Definitions and Federal Reporting for Milestones, Violations, and SNCs", May 1992.
Although reporting of RTC is required for all LCR violations, it is especially important that it be
reported for initial lead and copper tap water M/R violations. The significant noncomplier definition
for this violation is tied to the length of time the system is out of compliance.

4. PHASE I, II, Iffi, AND V RULES
BACKGROUND
The Phase I, II, IIB, and V rules establish monitoring and reporting (M/R) and maximum contaminant level
(MCL) or treatment technique (TT) requirements for 66 chemicals contaminants in drinking water. These
regulations also establish M/R requirements for unregulated contaminants (refer to the summary on
Unregulated Contaminants). In general, the requirements of the phase rules apply to CWSs and NTNCWSs,
with two exceptions. First, the M/R and MCL requirements for nitrate and nitrate requirements also apply to
TNCWSs. Second, the fluoride requirements apply only to CWSs. Monitoring under the phase rules is
conducted at each entry point to the the distribution system and must be representative of well(s) or source
water after treatment, hi addition, compositing of up to 5 samples is allowed. The table on the next page
indicates the effective date, number of regulated contaminants, and monitoring requirements for each of the
phase rules.
Initial monitoring for the Phase I volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) was required to be completed by 12/88
for systems serving > 10,000 persons, by 12/89 for systems serving 3,300 - 10,000 persons, and by 12/91 for
systems serving < 3,300 persons. The Phase II rule promulgated the standardized monitoring framework
(SMF). The SMF standardized monitoring requirements within contaminant groups and synchronized
monitoring schedules across three contaminant groups: VOCs (including the Phase I VOCs), inorganic
chemicals (lOCs), and synthetic contaminants (SOCs). The SMF incorporates contaminants regulated under
all the phase rules. However, the monitoring requirements for asbestos, nitrate, and nitrite are different from
other Phase II and V lOCs because of their unusual characteristics.
The SMF establishes a 9-year "compliance cycle" which is comprised of three, 3-year "compliance periods".
The first period is 1993 -1995. During this compliance period, Phase II and IIB initial monitoring for all
systems and Phase V initial monitoring for systems serving > 150 service connections must be completed.
The second period spans from 1996 - 1998, during which systems serving < 150 service connections must
complete initial Phase V monitoring. The third period begins in 1999 and ends in 2001. States may specify
the year within the period that monitoring is required, hi addition, the SMF allows for waivers of contami-
nants other than nitrate and nitrite.
FRDS/SDWIS REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
A. State Decisions
Previous sampling results can be used to satisify initial monitoring requirements ("grandfathering"
data) for Phase II/IIB (with the exception of nitrate and nitrite) or for repeat monitoring requirements
for Phase V. This provision has restrictions regarding how old the data can be. In addition, states
may grant waivers to reduce the frequency of monitoring for contaminants which had not been used
in the water supply area (i.e., use waiver) or if a source was not susceptible to contaminants based on
a vulnerability assessment and prior sampling results (i.e., susceptibility waiver). Waivers may
apply to the entire system or may be limited to certain sampling points. Waivers are not allowed for
nitrate and nitrite. Waiver decisions are not required to be reported to FRDS/SDWIS-FED.

B.
Violations
Violations may be reported by system or by sampling point. If reporting by system, only one
violation type for a given contaminant during the same monitoring period is reported to
FRDS/SDWIS (major to be reported over minor violation), regardless if the violation occurs at
multiple sampling points. However, if reporting by sampling point and the same violation occurs at
multiple sampling points for the same contaminant for the same monitoring period, the state would
report all violations. This is different than a situation in which a system incurs different types of
violations or the same violation for different contaminants; in this situation all violations should be
reported regardless of whether reporting is done by system or sampling point. FRDS/SDWIS will
accept state violations (e.g., more frequent monitoring, confirmation samples for contaminants other
than nitrate and nitrite). However, reporting of state violations could result in a system's incorrectly
being determined to be a significant noncomplier (SNC). The table below indicates the required
reporting elements for a violation.

NOTE 1: Violations can no longer be reported using group contaminant codes. EPA plans to replace group contaminant
codes with individual violations for contaminants represented by a group contaminant code. For example, 2 VO8
which was used to report violations for the Phase I VOCs will be replaced with 8 individual M/R violations.
NOTE 2: Cl 105, violation type is defined as follows:
• "01", single sample MCL applies to systems monitoring on annual or less frequent basis.
• • "02", average MCL occurs when the average of the initial and confirmation sample exceeds the MCL,
or when the system is monitoring more frequently than once per year and the running annual average
exceeds the MCL.
• "03", regular M/R - failure to conduct initial, any repeat sampling, or to accurately report an analytical
result.
• "04", confirmation M/R applies to nitrate and nitrate only (for Federal violations) and occurs when
system exceeds nitrate and does not collect the required confirmation sample or does not report it
within required period of time. If a system fails to collect or report this required confirmation sample,
the state would still report the MCL exceedance to FRDS/SDWIS-FED based solely on the initial
monitoring results and this system would incur both an "01" and "04" violation.
• "07", treatment technique violation applies only to those systems using acrylamide and epichlorohydrin
as part of their treatment. This violation results from failure to certify annually that these chemicals are
being used as directed by the manufacturer or distributor.

NOTE 3: Cl 111 equals "001" for confirmation sample M/R violations for nitrate, nitrite, and other State-required
confirmation sampling ("04"); "003" for quarterly sampling; "012" for annual monitoring; "036" for triennial
monitoring; "072" for monitoring every 6 years; and "108" for monitoring every 9 years.
NOTE 4: For single samples, the value reported for Cl 123, VIO-ANALYSIS-RESULT, would be the regular sample .
causing the violation. For nitrate/nitrite or for other contaminants where a confirmation sample was required,'
Cl 123 would equal the average of the initial and confirmation sample. If the confirmation sample were not
taken, Cl 123 would equal the initial sample result (system would also incur an "04" violation, confirmation
M/R). For systems monitoring less frequently than annually, Cl 123 would equal the running annual average.
NOTE 5: A major M/R = failure to collect any samples. A minor M/R = some but not all samples collected.

C. Return to Compliance
When a federal violation is incurred, it must be reported to FRDS/SDWIS. Further, states must
inform EPA when violations have been addressed and a system has returned to compliance (RTC).
RTC is defined for MCL, M/R and TT violations for the Phase rules below:
• MCL violation - subsequent monitoring shows system is below the MCL
• M/R violation - system is reporting in accordance with requirements
• TT violation - system submits required certification for acrylamide or epichlorohydrin.
RTC is reported to FRDS as "compliance achieved". Compliance achieved is represented by SOX
when RTC is reported by the State or BOX when reported by EPA. The SOX or BOX must be
linked to the violation that it resolved. Refer to Section 7, entitled, Reporting Enforcement
Information for details on how to report compliance achieved and the linking of enforcement actions
to violations.
D. Public Notification
Public notification (PN) is required when a system incurs an MCL, M/R, or TT violation.
Mandatory health effects language for chemicals is outlined in Section 141.32 (e) for MCL violations
of the Phase rules. This language must be published in the newspapers within 14 days and notice to
consumers within 45 days. Nitrate and nitrate MCL violations have an additional requirement of
electronic notification within 72 hours. Monitoring violations require notification in newspapers
within 3 months and every 3 months thereafter until the violation ceases. NTNCWSs have the option
of hand delivery or posting instead of newspapers and mailings. Failure to meet the PN requirements
must be reported. The Cl 105, violation type code, for PN is "06".

E. Enforcement Actions
Formal enforcement actions takentto address violations of the Phase I, II, IIB, or V rules must be
reported to FRDS/SDWIS, regardless of whether C?A or the State undertakes the action. EPA also
encourages the reporting of informal enforcement a:. ,3ns taken in response to violations, although
such reporting is not required.
The C1200 ENFORCEMENT-DATA record is used to report enforcement action information. See
Table ENF-1 in Section 7, Reporting Enforcement Infonr-fion, for a description of the C1200 data
elements for which information must be provided and a lit "formal and other enforcement actions
which can be reported to FRDS/SDWIS. In addition, these enforcement actions must be linked to the
violations that they address. For more detailed information regarding this linking, see Section 7,
Reporting Enforcement Information.

5. UNREGULATED CONTAMINANTS
BACKGROUND
Monitoring and reporting (M/R) of unregulated contaminants is required under Section 1445 of the SDWA.
The purpose of unregulated contaminant monitoring (UCM) is to assist EPA in determining the occurrence of
unregulated contaminants in drinking water and whether future regulation is warranted. M/R requirements
were included for specific unregulated contaminants under the Phase I and II regulations, and continued under
Phase V.
The M/R requirements listed below apply to CWSs and NTNCWSs serving > 150 service connections and
only for those contaminants for which a waiver has not been granted. Unregulated contaminant monitoring
does not apply to TNCWSs. CWSs and NTNCWSs serving < 150 service connections are not required to
self monitor, but are required to send a letter to the State indicating they are available for monitoring. This
letter was due to the State by 1/1/91 for Phase I and by 1/1/94 for Phase II contaminants.
The 48 unregulated contaminants, remaining after the promulgation of Phase V are listed in Tables UCM-2
and UCM-3. At least one round of results is needed from non-discretionary contaminants (listed in Table
UCM-2); the remaining 14 are at State discretion (see Table UCM-3).

FRDS/SDWIS REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
•A. State Decisions
After the initial round of M/R for Phase I, States were encouraged to grant waivers for contaminants
which had not been used in the water supply area (i.e., use waiver) or if a source was not susceptible
to contaminants based on a vulnerability assessment and prior sampling results (i.e., susceptibility
waiver). Systems are not required to test for contaminants for whicha Statejwaiver has been granted.
A waiver may be granted for an entire system or for one or more sampling points. Waiver decisions
are not required to be reported to FRDS.
B. Sample Records
Samr-mg results are required to be reported to the C2100 record, SAMPLE-DATA. The specific
sample elements to be reported are presented in Table UCM-1.

* The UEC method of reporting is limited to these EPA analytical methods.
Violations
Violations may be reported by sampling point or by system. If violations occur at multiple sampling
points for the same contaminant for the same monitoring period, the State would report all violations
if reporting by sampling point, but only 1 violation if reporting by system (major to be reported over
minor violation). The table on the next page indicates the required reporting elements for a violation.
D. Return to Compliance
A return to compliance (RTC) should be reported when a system is in compliance with its M/R
requirements. Compliance achieved is represented by SOX when RTC is reported by the State or
BOX when reported by EPA. The SOX or BOX must be linked to the violation that it resolved.
Refer to Enforcement and Variance/Exemption Sections for details on how to report compliance
achieved and the linking of enforcement actions to violations.

NOTE 1: Violations can no longer be reported using group contaminant codes. EPA plans to replace group contaminant
codes with individual violations for contaminants represented by a group contaminant code. For example, 2U36
which was used to report 36 original unregulated Phase I violations will be replaced with 36 individual M/R
violations.
NOTE 2: A regular M/R = failure to conduct initial, any repeat sampling, or accurately report an analytical result.
Confirmation samples for unregulated contaminants is not Federally required. Therefore, failure to collect a
confirmation sample (i.e., "04") is a State violation only and should not be reported to FRDS/SDWIS.
NOTE 3: A major M/R = failure to collect any samples. A minor M/R = some but not all samples collected.
E. Public Notification
Special public notification (PN) requirements, contained in Section 141.35, apply to 20 unregulated
VOCs. These contaminants are listed in Table UCM-2 as Group 3 contaminants. In particular
systems are required to notify the persons they serve of the availability of sampling results for these
unregulated contaminants. Failure to meet the delivery requirements of this notice constitutes a PN
violation. This violation is reported similarly to other violations. The Cl 105, violation type code,
for PN is "06". (Refer back to Table UCM-4 for details on how to report violations to
FRDS/SDWIS-FED.
F. Enforcement Actions
Any formal enforcement actions that are taken to address M/R violations for unregulated
contaminants must be reported to FRDS/SDWIS. EPA also encourages the reporting of informal
enforcement actions taken in response to violations, although such reporting is not required.
The C1200 ENFORCEMENT-DATA record and the ENFORCEMENT_ACTION SDWIS Entity
are used to report enforcement action information. See Table ENF-1 in Section 7, Reporting
Enforcement Information, for a description of the C1200 data elements for which information must
be provided and a list of formal and other enforcement actions which are required to be reported to
FRDS/SDWIS. hi addition, these enforcement actions must be linked to the violations that they
address. For more detailed information regarding this linking, also refer to the Reporting Enforce-
ment Information Section.

6. REPORTING VARIANCE/EXEMPTION INFORMATION
BACKGROUND
The primacy agent, State or EPA, may grant a public water system (PWS) a variance or exemption from
National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR) requirements, provided it does not result in an
unreasonable risk to health. As provided by Section 1415 of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), a
variance may be granted to a PWS when its raw water characteristics render it unable to meet NPDWR
requirements such as a maximum contaminant level. However, before it may be granted, these systems must
first install the applicable best available technology or treatment technique. Section 1416 of the SDWA
provides for the issuance of exemptions to PWSs that are unable to comply with NPDWR requirements due
to compelling factors, which may include economic considerations.
The variance or exemption issued by the State or EPA must contain a schedule for compliance (including
increments of progress) and may contain requirements for additional control measures to be applied for the
duration of the variance/exemption. The FRDS C3100 data base record (VE-SCHEDULE) and the SDWIS
DEVIATION SCHEDULE Entity are used to record information about variance/exemption schedules.
FRDS/SDWIS REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
A. State Decisions - Reporting Variances and Exemptions
The FRDS C3000 VARIANCE-EXEMPTION-DATA record and the SDWIS DEVIATION
SCHEDULE Entity are used to report information that characterizes variances, exemptions, or other
related data. Table V/E-1 below contains a description of the FRDS C3000 data elements and
SDWIS DEVIATION attributes for which information must be provided. Valid code values for data
elements that must be provided are listed in Tables V/E-2, V/E-3, and V/E-4. In particular: Table
V/E-2 lists contaminant codes for which a variance or exemption may be granted; Table V/E-3 lists
codes for activities related to the status of variances and exemptions; and Table V/E-4 lists treatment
codes for which variances and exemptions may be granted.

B. Violations
Failure to meet the schedule established by a variance or exemption is a violation and must be
reported to FRDS/SDWIS. A variance or exemption violation has a FRDS Cl 105, VIO-TYPE value
of "08". The reporting of this violation is similar to that of other violation types. For a more detailed
discussion regarding the reporting of violations, refer to the violation section of any of the rule-
specific summary sheets.
C. Public Notification
Public notification (PN) is initially required when a system is granted a variance or exemption, as
outlined in Section 141.32(a). Additional PN is required if a system violates the schedule outlined
for the variance or exemption (i.e., an "08" violation). Sections 141.32(b) outline the PN
requirements associated with a variance or exemption violation. Failure to deliver the PN
requirements in accordance with these sections, results in a PN violation which must be reported to
FRDS/SDWIS. The FRDS Cl 105, violation type code, for PN is "06".

7. REPORTING ENFORCEMENT INFORMATION
BACKGROUND
Effective October, 1, 1990, all State and Federal formal enforcement actions were required to be reported to
FRDS. Enforcement data is stored in the FRDS C1200 ENFORCEMENT-DATA record. Table ENF-1
below contains a description of the data elements for which information must be provided. Tables ENF-2
and ENF-3 contain a list of formal Federal and State enforcement actions, respectively, and other actions that
must be reported to FRDS/SDWIS-FED. EPA also encourages the reporting of informal enforcement
actions, although such reporting is not required.

A. Linking Enforcement Actions to Violations
Enforcement actions reported to FRDS/SDWIS-FED should be linked or associated with the
violations they address. The FRDS C1280, ENF-VIOLATIONS and the SDWIS ENF_VIO-
LATION_CRITERION Entity and the relationship between ENFORCEMENT_ACTION AND
VIOLATION are used to link enforcements and violations. Table ENF-4 below show the data
elements that must be populated to achieve this linking. These data elements are automatically
populated when one of the three methods for reporting violation linking data, described below, are
used.
Violations and enforcement actions can be linked three ways; however, only one Unking method can
be used at a time. The first method is to associate an enforcement action with a violation's begin and
end dates (C1107 and C1109). Another linking method consists of associating the enforcement
action with corresponding violation IDs (C 1101). The last method consists of linking the
enforcement action to a contaminant code (Cl 103), violation types (Cl 105), and compliance period
begin dates (Cl 107). The unking codes for these three methods, respectively, are X5000, Y5000,
and Z5000. An enforcement action that is not (or cannot be) linked to a violation is termed an
"orphan" enforcement action. An example of an "orphan" enforcement action is an enforcement
response that addresses state violations exclusively (e.g., cross-connection).
B. Return to Compliance
Information indicating that a water system has returned to compliance (RTC) must be reported to
EPA for violations of the Phase I, II, IIB, and V Rules, the Lead and Copper Rule, and the total
trihalomethane standard. RTC is reported to FRDS as "compliance achieved". Compliance achieved
is represented by SOX when reported by the State or EOX when reported by EPA. The SOX or
BOX must be linked to the violation that it resolved. The FRDS C1200 ENFORCEMENT-DATA
record and the SDWIS ENFORCEMENT_ACTION Entity (refer back to Table 1) are used to report
this information. Additionally, SOX or EOX must be linked with the associated violation using one
of the methods described in Section A above.

8. MISCELLANEOUS REPORTING
BACKGROUND
This section contains the reporting requirements for the Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM) and the
Radionuclides. Both of these contaminant groups were part of the National Interim Primary Drinking Water
Regulations. The original requirements are still in effect today, although regulations have already been
proposed that would replace these requirements. Until new regulations are promulgated, the current reporting
requirements will continue for SDWIS/FED.
Monitoring requirements for TTHMs apply to community water systems .(CWS) that serve > 10,000 people
and that add a disinfectant (oxidant) to their drinking water. Systems are required to take a minimum of 4
samples per treatment plant on a quarterly basis. All monitoring results are averaged and reported quarterly.
Under certain circumstances and with the permission of the State, monitoring may be reduced to 1
sample/quarter. In addition, systems utilizing only ground water, with the permission of the State, may
submit a single sample for maximum TTHM potential per year.
Monitoring requirements for the radionuclides apply to all CWSs. Systems must monitor for gross alpha
particle activity for four consecutive quarters. Results are reported as an annual average. If a gross alpha
result is > 5 pCi/1, the same or equivalent sample must be tested for radium-226. If the radium-226 result is
> 3 pCi/1, the sample must be tested for radium-228. An MCL violation occurs when the combined radium-
226 and radium-228 result > 5 pCi/1. Systems repeat monitoring every 4 years.
Monitoring requirements for man-made radionuclides (beta particle and photon radioactivity) apply to CWSs
that serve > 100,000 people. Systems monitor quarterly for gross beta particle activity as well as Tritium and
Stontium-90. hi some circumstances, monitoring for Iodine-131, Stontium-89, and Cesium-134 also apply.
The MCL for beta particle activity from man-made radionuclides shall not produce an annual total body dose
> 4 millirem/year. Systems repeat monitoring every 4 years.
FRDS/SDWIS REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
A. State Decisions
None are required to be reported.
B. Violations
Under the original TTHM and radionuclide regulations, violations are categorized as either
monitoring/reporting (M/R) or maximum contaminant level (MCL) violations. Violations are to be
reported by system only. Table MISC-1 presents the required reporting elements for violations. The
contaminant codes for reporting TTHM and radionuclide violations are presented in Table MISC-2.

NOTE 1: Cl 105, violation type is defined as follows: •
• "01", single sample MCL applies to systems monitoring on annual or less frequent basis.
• "02", average MCL occurs when the average of the initial and confirmation sample exceeds the MCL,
or when the system is monitoring more frequently than once per year and the running annual average
exceeds the MCL.
• "03", regular M/R = failure to conduct initial, any repeat sampling, or to accurately report an analytical
result.
NOTE 2: Cl 111 equals "003" for quarterly sampling; "012" for annual monitoring; and "048" for monitoring every 4
years.
NOTE 3: For single samples, the value reported for Cl 123, VIO-ANALYSIS-RESULT, would be the regular sample
causing the violation. For systems monitoring less frequently than annually, Cl 123 would equal the running
annual average.
NOTE 4: A major M/R = failure to collect any samples. A minor M/R = some but not all samples collected.

C. Public Notification
Public notification (PN) is required when a system incurs an MCL, or M/R violation. Mandatory
language of the PN is outlined in Section 141.32(d). This language must be published in the
newspapers within 14 days and notice to consumers within 45 days. Monitoring violations require
notification in newspapers within 3 months and every 3 months thereafter until the violation ceases.
Failure to meet the PN requirements must be reported as a violation to SDWIS/FED. The violation
type code (FRFDS Cl 105 or SDWIS TFRVTYPE_CODE), for PN is "06".
D. Enforcement Actions

RELEASE NO. 1
MISC-3
-------
Formal enforcement actions taken to address violations must be reported to FRDS/SDWIS,
regardless of whether EPA or the State undertakes the action. EPA also encourages the reporting of
informal enforcement actions taken in response to violations, although such reporting is not required.
The FRDS C1200 ENFORCEMENT-DATA record is used to report enforcement action
information. See Table ENF-1 in Section 7, Reporting Enforcement Information, for a description of
the C1200 data elements for which information must be provided and a list of formal and other
enforcement actions which can be reported to FRDS/SDWIS. In addition, these enforcement actions
must be linked to the violations that they address. For more detailed information regarding this
linking, see Section 7, Reporting Enforcement Information.
