PREAMBLE
This document provides guidance to States in reporting unregulated contaminant monitoring data
pursuant to Section 1445 of the Safe Drinking Water Act and Section 141.40 of Title 40 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The document provides for consistent reporting of
unregulated contaminant monitoring data and seeks to minimize the reporting burden of States
and public water systems. Unregulated contaminant monitoring data consistently reported will aid
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in determining priority contaminants for future
regulatory control.
In the course of developing this document a number of technical errors or discrepancies were
identified in the CFR and in the Federal Register notices containing unregulated contaminant
monitoring and reporting information. A separate appendix has been included in this guidance
document (Appendix A) which provides an explanation for many of these dissimilarities. EPA is
presently evaluating these and other unregulated contaminant monitoring discrepancies and will
later provide corrections or clarification on these issues via a Federal Register notice.
Any questions regarding the use of this document and/or its contents should be directed to the
officials identified in Appendix F.

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
1.1 Introduction
This document provides guidance to States in reporting unregulated contaminant monitoring data.
Such monitoring and reporting is required under Section 1445 of the Safe Drinking Water Act
(codified at Section 141.40 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations or 40 CFR 141.40).
This section gives the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the authority to require
submission of monitoring data for substances suspected of occurring in drinking water. Such
information is critical to EPA's efforts to evaluate the need for future regulations. The goal of this
document is to obtain consistency in the manner in which unregulated contaminant monitoring
data are reported to EPA. A consistent reporting mechanism is crucial if EPA is to effectively
evaluate the data for regulatory development purposes.
This document is intended solely as guidance to aid in the implementation of existing regulations
and policy. It is designed for use by State drinking water program officials; however, States may
at their discretion share components of this guidance with public water systems (PWSs), drinking
water laboratories, and others in the drinking water community. It is important to note that this
guidance addresses reporting issues only. It does not address the manner in which monitoring
should be accomplished. These latter requirements are specified at 40 CFR 141.40.
This guide seeks to minimize and ease the reporting burden of States and PWSs while providing
for consistent reporting of unregulated contaminant monitoring data . EPA remains cognizant of
the numerous Safe Drinking Water Act (SOWA) requirements with which States and PWSs must
comply. EPA is, therefore, clarifying the opportunities to waive monitoring for some unregulated
contaminants and is also reducing the reporting requirements to a minimum number of essential
data elements. Moreover, these data elements are being integrated into the Federal Reporting
Data System to facilitate reporting and analysis (On January 1, 1995, the FRDS-II system will be
replaced by the Safe Drinking Water Information System - SDWIS - All references to SDWIS and
FRDS-II in this document should be considered synonymous). This guidance document
summarizes the waiver and discretionary monitoring opportunities, the minimum data elements,
and the SDWIS reporting procedures.
1.2 Roles and Responsibilities
The parties impacted by the unregulated monitoring requirements of the SDWA include EPA,
State drinking water programs, public water systems and drinking water laboratories. With
regard to responsibilities, EPA is to promulgate regulations listing unregulated contaminants for
which systems may be required to monitor, the frequency and schedule of monitoring
requirements and criteria by which States may add or delete contaminants from the list and delete
contaminants for individual systems. States, in turn, are to implement and manage these
requirements.
-------
PWSs with 150 or more service connections are responsible for actually conducting monitoring in
accordance with State guidelines, having their samples analyzed by approved drinking water
laboratories, reporting the results of such analyses to the State, and notifying customers of the
availability of the results. PWS's serving less than 150 service connections are not required to self
monitor provided that they make their facilities available for sampling by the States. Drinking
water laboratories are to conduct analyses of unregulated contaminant samples in accordance with
the EPA methods specified in the regulations. As a final step, States are to submit the results of
PWS unregulated monitoring to EPA. The issues associated with this final step are the principle
focus of this guidance document.
1.3 Statutory/Regulatory Background
Section 1445 of the SDWA directs EPA to establish regulations requiring PWSs to conduct a
monitoring program for unregulated contaminants. Between 1987 and 1992, EPA promulgated
regulations under the Agency's Phase I, II and V Rules to implement this statutory requirement.
Each of the rules specified National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWRs) and
unregulated contaminant monitoring requirements for a broad number of contaminants including
volatile and synthetic organic chemicals (VOCs and SOCs, respectively) and inorganic chemicals
(lOCs). Summaries of the statutory requirements and subsequent rule-making activities are
included in Appendix B of this document.
As illustrated in Appendix B, the first set of unregulated contaminants and corresponding
monitoring requirements appeared in the Phase I Rule (July 8, 1987). In general, monitoring was
to be completed for a maximum of 51 contaminants in 1988, 1989 or 1991, depending upon State
requirements and system size characteristics. To date, one round of monitoring (or Round 1 of
unregulated contaminant monitoring) has been completed in accordance with these requirements.
A second round of monitoring (or Round 2 of unregulated contaminant monitoring) was to begin
in January 1993.
The Phase II Rule (January 30, 1991) expanded the monitoring and reporting requirements for 30
additional unregulated substances, bringing the total number of unregulated contaminants to 81.
Monitoring for the 30 new substances was to begin in January 1993 and is to be completed by
December 31, 1995.
In May 1992, the EPA Administrator granted a regulatory stay of the maximum contaminant
levels (MCLs) for aldicarb, aldicarb sulfoxide and aldicarb sulfone. As a result, these three
substances were added to the list of unregulated contaminants, increasing the total number of
contaminants covered to 84.
Finally, the Phase V Rule (July 17,1992) resulted in the promulgation of NPDWRs for a number
of the existing unregulated contaminants. The list of unregulated contaminants was, therefore,
reduced from 84 to 48 substances.
-------
Table 2-1 presents the current list of 48 unregulated contaminants.1 For the purposes of this
guidance document, the contaminants are organized into four groups according to their location
within the regulations. This organizational framework is used throughout the remainder of the
document. It is important to note that the Group 1-4 framework is intended for organizational
purposes only: no other meaning should be derived from its use.
1.4 The Need for Consistent Data
EPA created the UnRegulated Contaminant Information System (URCIS) to store and manipulate
Round 1 monitoring data for regulatory development purposes. Development and use of this
electronic system proved challenging due to variations in the form and content of the monitoring
data submitted. Aside from the logistical problems associated with digitizing a wide array of data,
differences in how various information was expressed posed challenges for interpreting the data
and raised confidence issues with respect to overall data quality. EPA's experience with the
Round 1 data demonstrated the need for a reporting procedure to be initiated that would result in
the future receipt of consistent and compatible information. Hence, this guidance document.
Some examples of the challenges posed in working with Round 1 sampling data are summarized
below:
PWS identification information was sometimes missing from report forms making it impossible
for EPA to link the results to any geographic area or type of system. Location and source
information are obviously critical factors in determining the source of occurrence for a given
contaminant.
Contaminants for which analytical data were reported were sometimes not identified.
Analytical methods and laboratory certification numbers were often not identified.
The reporting of analytical results also varied, creating difficulties in interpreting and using the
data. For example, units of measure were often not noted or were confused. In some
instances, only positive results were reported, making it difficult to determine the range of
contaminants which may have been monitored.
'See Appendix A for a discussion of additions and deletions to the list of unregulated contaminants as a result of
promulgation of the Phase I, II and V Rules.
-------
1.5 Summary/Organization of the Guidance Document
Problems evaluating and using Round 1 unregulated contaminant monitoring data, coupled with
the need to preserve limited program resources, has prompted EPA to issue this guidance
document. To achieve the objectives of Section 1445 of the SDWA, as well as the overall public
health protection goals of the Act, it is critical that monitoring be conducted and accurately
reported for the constituents identified.
The next section of this document briefly walks through the specific reporting requirements. It
includes a discussion of the various monitoring conditions for the 48 contaminants and the waiver
provisions. It also includes a discussion of the minimum data elements required and how they are
to be reported.
This document also contains a number of supporting appendices. Appendix A provides a
discussion of some of the technical errors or discrepancies appearing in the CFR as a result of
differences in unregulated contaminant monitoring and reporting information contained in the
Phase I, n and V Rules. EPA is presently working toward resolving these and other discrepancies
in a future Federal Register notice. Appendix B contains a summary of the statutory
requirements and subsequent rule-making activities in addition to a stand-alone listing of the
unregulated substances. Appendix C provides a summary and description of the minimum data
elements required to be reported, and Appendix D provides a blank and completed example report
form and set of instructions for PWSs and laboratories. Appendix E contains relevant SDWIS
data entry documentation. Finally, Appendix F provides a list of EPA Regional and other
personnel to whom related data management and programmatic questions can be directed.
2.0 LIST OF UNREGULATED CONTAMINANTS
2.1 Introduction
EPA's objective is to gather through SDWIS at least one round of unregulated contaminant
monitoring data from applicable PWSs for all non-discretionary contaminants (ie., Groups 1-3, in
table 2.1). These data will enable EPA to evaluate the possible occurrence of the unregulated
contaminants in drinking water on a national basis. Given EPA's objective, this guidance clarifies
State authority to waive Round 2 monitoring. The background for waivers and the waiver criteria
for each of the four groups of contaminants (i.e., Groups 1 to 4, in table 2.1) is discussed below.

under the Phase II Rule, and will be deleted from the CFR through a future FR notice.

under the Phase V Rule, and will be deleted from the CFR through a future FR notice.
-------
2.2 Basis for Minimizing the Monitoring Workload
EPA's initial summary of Round 1 monitoring data was completed on July 31, 1992. Although
Round 1 monitoring data were incomplete, the summary indicates that the analytical results fell
below applicable MDLs for the vast majority of samples analyzed. EPA, therefore, does not
expect that Round 2 results (i.e., a second set of measurements for the same compounds) would
change the cumulative results of Round 1 data for participating PWSs. Rather than collect a
second round of data from these systems for the same compounds (ie. Groups 3 and 4), EPA
believes it is more important to collect monitoring results from those PWSs that have not yet
submitted data or from States that have not yet submitted data available from applicable PWSs.
To minimize the unregulated contaminant monitoring workload, EPA encourages States to issue
monitoring waivers as discussed below. This guidance seeks to help States in applying their
authority to reduce unregulated contaminant monitoring demands. While EPA is identifying the
contaminants and conditions for which repeat monitoring is less useful, States must determine
which PWSs are eligible to receive waivers.
2.3 Group 1 Contaminants
Group 1 contains 10 contaminants required under the Phase II Rule in addition to three aldicarbs
which resulted from a 1992 EPA regulatory stay of the MCLs for these substances. (See Table
2-1 for a listing of these contaminants.) As illustrated on the identification information sheet for
unregulated contaminants in Appendix B, all of the substances (with the exception of Dicamba)
can be measured by two analytical methods (e.g., EPA Methods 525.1 and 531.1), thereby
resulting in some cost savings to PWSs.
Dicamba, on the other hand, must be measured using EPA Method 515.1. At this time, no
regulated or other unregulated contaminants require use of this analytical method. Unlike other
Group 1 contaminants, there is no opportunity to reduce unregulated contaminant analytical costs
for Dicamba.
Based on a review of State monitoring data from wells, EPA believes that Dicamba may occur in
only a few public water supplies at levels of health concern.
Monitoring for Dicamba would increase the monitoring costs for Group I by about 50 percent
Accordingly, States may wish to exercise their waiver authority pending further notification from
EPA or defer monitoring of Dicamba until December 31, 19942, whichever date comes first.
However, should States be concerned with real or suspected vulnerability of a drinking water
source to Dicamba, a monitoring waiver or deferral is obviously not appropriate.
2For a discussion of the significance of the date December 31, 1994, see Appendix A(2).
6
-------
2.4 Group 2 Contaminant
EPA continues to require that States report monitoring data for the Group 2 contaminant sulfate
unless States through application of vulnerability criteria waive monitoring for this contaminant
for individual systems. This substance first appeared on the Phase n list of unregulated inorganic
chemicals requiring monitoring (40 CFR 141.40(n)(12)).
2.5 Group 3 Contaminants
Group 3 contains the remaining 20 unregulated contaminants listed in the Phase I Rule where
monitoring is required. (See Table 2-1 for list of the 20 substances.) EPA has determined that
States may grant a waiver for Group 3 contaminants based on the criteria specified in section
141.24(f). The SDWA directs EPA to develop regulations for monitoring unregulated
contaminants which include criteria by which States may waive such monitoring for individual
systems. EPA has provided such waiver criteria in section 141.24(f).
Since EPA is developing a separate data collection effort for four disinfection by-products
contained in Group 3: bromodichloromethane, bromoform, chlorodibromomethane, and
chloroform, ( see 59 Federal Register 28 (February 10, 1994) for proposed Information
Collection Regulations) States may want to grant waivers for these contaminants as appropriate.
For the remaining Group 3 contaminants, States may also choose to waive Round 2 monitoring
for contaminants that were reported to EPA as non-detect in Round 1 by a given PWS. As with
the Group 1 contaminants, if States have reason to believe a PWS is vulnerable to contamination
by any or all of the Group 3 contaminants, the State should not waive Round 2 monitoring.
2.6 Group 4 Contaminants
Group 4 consists of the remaining unregulated contaminants listed in the Phase I Rule where
monitoring is solely within the discretion of the State. States may determine that PWSs in their
jurisdictions should monitor for these compounds. Review of Round 1 monitoring data reported
to EPA indicates that most PWSs did monitor for these contaminants. Although incomplete, EPA
has reviewed Round 1 monitoring data for these contaminants and does not believe Round 2
monitoring from the same PWSs is necessary, with the exception of monitoring for the
contaminants Hexachlorobutadiene, 1,2,3-Trichlorobenzene and Naphthalene. Although States
may choose to require Round 1 or Round 2 monitoring for any or all of the Group 4
contaminants, it would be preferable to receive at least one complete round of monitoring data for
the above three contaminants.
-------
3.0 REPORTING UNREGULATED CONTAMINANT MONITORING DATA
3.1 Introduction
In addition to providing opportunities for States to minimize the unregulated monitoring burden
for PWSs, EPA is reducing, through this guidance document, State and PWS reporting to a
minimum number of essential data elements. In addition, EPA is providing short-hand reporting
methods for transmission of the data to SDWIS. This section of the guidance document
summarizes the data elements required to be reported (by both PWSs and States) and discusses
how States are to report the data elements via SDWIS to EPA.
3.2 Required Data Elements
3.2.1 Overview of Required Data Elements
EPA has limited to 24 the number of data elements that must be submitted by PWSs to States. In
turn, EPA has reduced the number of data elements to 11 that must be reported by the States to
EPA. The total number of data elements to be reported by both parties will increase by one
beginning in 1996. At that time, both PWSs and States will be required to report Sampling Point
Identification (ID) numbers. Additional time is being provided to enable PWSs without this
numbering scheme time to develop and track these numbers. If, however, PWSs currently assign
Sampling Point ID numbers, these numbers should be reported at this time to the States and EPA.
A complete listing of the required data elements is provided in Table 3-1.
Twenty-three of the 25 required data elements are either explicitly or implicitly stated in section
141.35 of the regulations. The remaining two data elements (i.e., SDWIS PWS ID number and
Sample ID Number) are included solely to support the operation of SDWIS. Without these
operational requirements, the unregulated contaminant monitoring data could not be stored,
categorized and analyzed by EPA.
A summary table and a complete description of each of the 25 data elements are contained in
Appendix C. The summary table is similar to Table 3-1 below but provides explanations of each
of the explicit, implicit and operational reporting requirements.
3.2.2 Limiting the Reporting of Method Detection Limits
To further reduce the unregulated contaminant reporting burden, EPA through this guidance will
not require the States to enter the laboratory MDLs into the data base when contaminants are
found to be below the MDL as was requested in the draft/interim unregulated monitoring
reporting guidance. To further reduce the MDL reporting burden, EPA is making available a
simplified encoding scheme for data entry of non-detects to SDWIS. This scheme is discussed in
greater detail under Section 3.4.3 Expansion Codes for Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring.
The use of this simplified encoding scheme will greatly reduce the data entry burden upon the
States and EPA. This provision is not expected to affect the overall quality or usefulness of the
-------
unregulated contaminant data since Round 1 summary data indicate that a vast majority of the
samples analyzed were reported below applicable MDLs.
This reporting scheme is adopted with the expectation that laboratories are certified to measure
regulated contaminants and approved to perform analytical measurements for unregulated
contaminants to acceptable levels of accuracy as required by regulation.
Two caveats apply to the use of the simplified scheme for reporting MDL's described above:
Should PWSs seek to grandfather unregulated monitoring results for future compliance
monitoring as provided by regulation (40 CFR 141.40(i)), the actual value of laboratory MDLs
should be reported for non-detects.
EPA reserves the right to modify the MDL reporting guidance for specific unregulated
contaminants, in the future, where EPA determines that knowledge of the MDL is critical to
establishment of regulatory criteria for such contaminant(s).
As discussed in greater detail in Section 3.4.3 below, SDWIS provides for a simplified or short-
hand reporting method to be used when actual lab MDLs need not be reported, but the analytical
method for the contaminant is reported. SDWIS, however, will accept actual numeric lab MDLs
for any contaminant should they be reported.

3.3 Data Collection: Example Monitoring Report Form and Example Instructions for
Public Water Systems and Laboratory Reporting
To aid States in obtaining the 25 data elements associated with unregulated contaminant
monitoring, an easy-to-use example report form has been provided in Appendix D. This is
accompanied by two sets of instructions: one for public water systems and one for approved
drinking water laboratories. States should feel free to use or adapt these materials as desired;
however, it is not required that the materials be used. If States elect to develop State-specific
reporting forms, States simply need to ensure that the forms collect the information pertinent to
the 25 minimum data elements.
The example monitoring report form and accompanying instructions included in Appendix D are
self-explanatory. The report form incorporates check-off boxes to minimize user completion
time. To facilitate data entry to SDWIS, the SDWIS and Chemical Abstract Service (CAS)
numbers are preprinted for each contaminant. Also for each contaminant, the EPA analytical
methods are identified enabling the lab analyst to simply circle the appropriate method employed
and denote the analytical results.
3.4 State Reporting of Data to EPA
SDWIS has been modified to incorporate unregulated contaminant monitoring data.
Documentation supporting these changes is provided in Appendix E. The information amends the
FRDS-II Data Entry Instructions document.3 Inclusion of the unregulated contaminant
monitoring data in SDWIS will enable EPA to efficiently store, categorize and analyze this
information for regulatory development purposes.
3.4.1 Data Collection and Quality Assurance Procedures
Regardless of the process followed by States to collect unregulated contaminant monitoring data
from PWSs, it is important that States develop a quality assurance protocol for reviewing the data
prior to their transmission to EPA. At a minimum, it is recommended that States ensure the
following information before transmitting data to SDWIS:
that the SDWIS PWS Identification (ID) number is accurate for the system being reported.
that the Sampling ID number is reported.
that the Sampling Point ID is consistently used for each reporting period.4
that one of the two valid Sampling Point Types (Raw or Finished) is noted.
that the lab has been approved to conduct drinking water analyses using the prescribed EPA
analytical methods.
3 In July 1993, EPA forwarded documentation to the States regarding changes made to FRDS-II to incorporate
unregulated contaminant monitoring data. This documentation consisted of: (1) Release 2.11 of the FRDS-II Data Entry
Instructions^!) Release 2.11 of the FRDS-II Data Element Dictionary, and (3) Release 3.1 of the FRDS-II Data Entry
package or FRDS-DE. Subsequent to the distribution of this information, EPA revised the requirements for reporting
unregulated contaminant monitoring data, necessitating additional changes to FRDS-II.
4This data element is not required to be reported until 1996 unless the PWS already has this data element available.
11
-------
that the analytical method used for the contaminant is appropriate and is reported.
that for non-detects, "< 0" is reported as the analysis sign and result.
that the State record keeping requirements pursuant to 40 CFR 142.14 are met.
3.4.2 Transmitting Data to EPA
EPA requires that States submit unregulated contaminant monitoring data on a quarterly basis via
SDWIS for those PWSs that have completed monitoring during the period. Consistent with
current SDWIS reporting procedures, States may choose any one of several options to submit
their unregulated contaminant monitoring data to the IBM mainframe computer located at the
National Computer Center (NCC) in Research Triangle Park, NC:
The preferred option is to submit the results as a direct upload to NCC, creating a data transfer
file (DTP) using standard IBM data set naming conventions on the mainframe, and then
notifying SDWIS Production Control at (703) 908-2460. States may use either their own data
systems or the EPA provided FRDS-II Data Entry (FRDS-DE) package to create the requisite
DTP file for uploading.
The second option for reporting unregulated contaminant monitoring data is via magnetic tape
using the standard DTP and subsequently providing SDWIS Production Control with the NCC
Tape Library assigned, foreign (i.e., "B" Tape) number.
Other options, such as hard copy or floppy disks, are not accepted by SDWIS. If a State has an
arrangement with the EPA Region to submit hard copy or floppy disk information, it is the
responsibility of the Region to provide the DTP file in either of the two approved options
discussed above.
The example Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Report Form, provided in Appendix D, has
been designed to allow for easy transference of reporting data to the DTP or, optionally, to the
FRDS-DE HI Screen. In addition to the report form, a number of "short-hand" reporting
mechanisms are being incorporated into SDWIS to reduce the reporting burden. These short-
hand mechanisms are discussed in Section 3.4.3 below.
3.4.3 Expansion Codes for Unregulated Contaminant Reporting
Given the large number of monitoring and reporting requirements currently being managed by the
States and PWSs, EPA has devised a "short-hand" method for reporting unregulated contaminant
monitoring data to SDWIS. Whenever monitoring results achieved for contaminants measured
under the same EPA analytical method fall below the laboratory's MDL, the short-hand method
can be used as discussed below. Round 1 monitoring results revealed that most samples fell
below the MDLs. If Round 2 results are similar to those of Round 1, as EPA expects, States will
be able to widely use the short-hand reporting method.
In general, whenever a set of contaminants within either Group 1, 3 or 4 are measured by the
same EPA analytical method and the results are less than the lab MDL States will be able to enter
an Unregulated Expansion Code (UEC) in lieu of several SDWIS Contaminant Codes. The State
would first enter the applicable EPA method and then would enter the "< 0" response in the
analytical result sign/value fields for each EPA method/UEC combination as shown in Table 3-2.
This input data would trigger SDWIS to replicate the "non-detect" response for the appropriate

contaminants within the group measured by the method noted. The use of the short-hand
approach, however, is dependent upon the same methods being used within a contaminant group.
The methods and contaminants to which the short-hand method is applicable along with the UECs
is noted in Table 3-2.
If a laboratory result for any contaminant measured under an analytical method is greater than the
MDL, then the laboratory's actual numeric value of the sample (i.e., a value other than "0") must
be entered into the analytical result field for this contaminant. SDWIS will not overwrite any value
entered into the analytical result field showing a value greater than "0" when generating or
replicating individual sample records.
4,0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
This document has been provided to assist States in reporting unregulated contaminant
monitoring data in a consistent and efficient manner. The monitoring data will be used by EPA to
determine the occurrence of possible drinking water contaminants. Such information will enable
EPA to evaluate the need for future regulations. Throughout the development of this guidance
document, EPA has taken significant steps to reduce the monitoring burden of PWSs and the
reporting burden of States.
As additional occurrence data become available for the various potential drinking water
contaminants, EPA is likely to revise components of this guidance document. Any revisions will
be provided to the States. Questions regarding the contents of this guidance document should be
addressed to the EPA Regional officials noted in Appendix F. Contacts are provided for both
programmatic and data management/reporting issues.

APPENDIX A
Listing of Authorities and Clarifications in
Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring and Reporting Requirements
In the course of developing this guidance document, a number of technical errors or discrepancies
were identified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and in the Federal Register notices
containing unregulated contaminant monitoring and reporting information. This appendix
provides an explanation for some of the dissimilarities. EPA is presently evaluating these and
other unregulated contaminant monitoring discrepancies and may later provide corrections or
clarification on these issues via a Federal Register notice.
A-l
-------
-------
Listing of Authorities and Clarifications in
Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring and Reporting Requirements
(1) Additions/Deletions to List of Unregulated Contaminants
(a) Dibromomethane was listed as an unregulated contaminant under both the Phase I
and n Rules. It was inadvertently deleted from the list in the Phase V Rule.
Dibromomethane should still be considered as an unregulated contaminant (40
CFR 141.40(e)) and will be replaced on the list at some future date.
(b) Chlorobenzene has been removed from the list of unregulated contaminants (40
CFR 141.40(e)) because it was regulated as "monochlorobenzene" under the Phase
H Rule (40 CFR 141.61(a)). It was inadvertently left on the 141.40(e) list and will
be deleted at some future date.
(c) 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene has also been removed from the list of unregulated
contaminants (40 CFR 141.40(j)) because it was regulated under the Phase V Rule
(40 CFR 141.61(a)). However, it was inadvertently left on the 40 CFR 141.40(j)
list and will be deleted at some future date.
(2) Authority to Defer Monitoring for Dicamba until December 31.1994
Section 141.40(n)(l) of the Code of Federal Regulations as promulgated by the Phase II
Rule specifies that:
"(1) Each community and non-transient, non-community water system shall take
four consecutive quarterly samples at each sampling point for each contaminant
listed in paragraph (n)(l 1) [Dicamba included] of this section and report the
results to the State. Monitoring must be complete by December 31, 1995."
The above paragraph implies that monitoring may begin for the Phase II unregulated
contaminants, which includes Dicamba, as late as December 31, 1994.
(3) Discrepancies in EPA Methods noted in the Code of Federal Regulations
(a) The CFR incorrectly lists EPA Method 525 as one of the methods applicable to
Aldrin, Dieldrin, Metribuzin, Butachlor, Metoachlor and Propachlor. EPA Method
525 should be replaced by EPA Method 525.1 for these contaminants.
(b) EPA Method 508 is incorrectly listed in the CFR as being an applicable method for
analyzing Metribuzin. It is not an applicable method. Only EPA Methods 507 and
525.1 apply to Metribuzin.
A-2
-------
(c) The CFR incorrectly lists EPA Method 507 as being applicable to Propachlor.
EPA Method 507 should be replaced by EPA Method 508 for Propachlor.
(d) The CFR incorrectly lists EPA Method 581.1 for Carbaryl and 3-
Hydroxycarbofuran. EPA Method 581.1 should be replaced by EPA Method
531.1 for these two contaminants.
(e) "Color" is stated in the CFR as the applicable method for sulfate; it should be
replaced by EPA Method 375.2.
(f) The CFR inadvertently excluded two applicable methods for n-Propylbenzene.
The two additional methods include EPA Method 502.2 and 524.1.

SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT - CITATION
RECORDS AND INSPECTIONS
Section 1445. (a)(1) Every person who is a supplier of water, who is or may be otherwise subject to
a primary drinking water regulation prescribed under section 1412 or to an applicable underground injection
control program (as defined in section 1422(c)), who is or may be subject to the permit requirement of
section 1424 or to an order under section 1441, or who is a grantee, shall establish or maintain such
records, make such reports, conduct such monitoring, and provide such information as the Administrator
may reasonably require by regulation to assist him in establishing regulations under this title, in determining
whether such person has acted or is acting in compliance with this title, in administering any program of
financial assistance under this title, in evaluating the health risks of unregulated contaminants, or advising
the public of such risks. In requiring a public water system to monitor under this subsection, the
Administrator may take into consideration the system size and the contaminants likely to be found in the
system's drinking water.
(2) Not later than 18 months after enactment of the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1986,
the Administrator shall promulgate regulations requiring every public water system to conduct a monitoring
program for unregulated contaminants. The regulations shall require monitoring of drinking water supplied
by the system and shall vary the frequency and schedule of monitoring requirements for systems based on
the number of persons served by the system, the source of supply, and the contaminants likely to be found.
Each system shall be required to monitor at least once every 5 years after the effective date of the
Administrator's regulations unless the Administrator requires more frequent monitoring.
(3) Regulations under paragraph (2) shall list unregulated contaminants for which systems may be
required to monitor, and shall include criteria by which the primary enforcement authority in each State
could show cause for addition or deletion of contaminants from the designated list. The primary State
enforcement authority may delete contaminants for an individual system, in accordance with these criteria,
after obtaining approval of assessment of the contaminants potentially to be found in the system. The
Administrator shall approve or disapprove such an assessment submitted by a State within 60 day's. A
State may add contaminants, in accordance with these criteria, without making an assessment, but in no
event shall such additions increase Federal expenditures authorized by this section.
(4) Public water systems conducting monitoring of unregulated contaminants pursuant to this
section shall provide the results of such monitoring to the primary enforcement authority.
(5) Notification of the availability of the results of the monitoring programs required under
paragraph (2), and notification of the availability of the results of the monitoring program referred to in
paragraph (6), shall be given to the persons served by the system and the Administrator.
(6) The Administrator may waive the monitoring requirement under paragraph (2) for a system
which has conducted a monitoring program after January 1,1983, if the Administrator determines the
program to have been consistent with the regulations promulgated under this section.
(7) Any system supplying less than 150 service connections shall be treated as complying with this
subsection if such system provides water samples or the opportunity for sampling according to rules
established by the Administrator.
(8) There are authorized to be appropriated $30,000,000 in the fiscal year ending September 30,
1987 to remain available until expended to carry out the provisions of this subsection.

Legislative/Regulatory History of the
Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Requirements
Sttmm«ry of Ride Making ArtMt^
Phase I Rule
Final Rule promulgated 7/8/87 at 52 FR 25720
Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Requirements codified at 40 CFR 141.40(e),(f) and (j)
Established monitoring and reporting requirements for a total of 51 unregulated contaminants. It was mandatory
that 34 of the 51 contaminants be monitored; two others, ethylene dibromide (EDB) and dibromochloropropane
(DBCP) were to be monitored only if a State determined a system to be vulnerable to contamination by either or
both of these substances; and the remaining 15 substances were required to be monitored solely at State discretion.
Required first round monitoring to be conducted in 1988, 1989 or 1991, depending upon system size
characteristics and to be repeated every five years, thereafter. Second round monitoring was to begin in 1993.
Phase II Rule
Final Rule promulgated 1/30/91 at 56 FR 3526
Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Requirements amended/codified at 40 CFR 141.40(e),(f),(j),(n)(ll) and
Expanded the mandatory monitoring and reporting requirements for 30 additional unregulated contaminants,
bringing the total number of unregulated contaminants to 81 .
Required monitoring for the newly added contaminants to be completed by December 31,1 995 and to be repeated
every five years, thereafter. _
Regulatory Stay of MCLs for Aldlcarb and Two Aldicarb Residues
Regulatory Stay published 5/27/92 atS7FR 22178
Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Requirements amended at 40 CFR 141.24(h)
In May 1992, the EPA Administrator granted the aldicarb manufacturer Rhone-Poulenc's petition for
reconsideration of the MCLGs and MCLs for aldicarb, aldicarb sulfoxide and aldicarb sulfone. In addition, the
Administrator stayed the effective date of the associated MCLs pending completion of the Agency's
reconsideration. The notice announcing the Administrator's stay in the Federal Register amended the unregulated
contaminant monitoring requirements to include the three aldicarbs, increasing the total number of unregulated
contaminants to 84.
Phase V Rule
Final Rule promulgated 7/17/92 at 57 FR 31776
Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Requirements amended at 40 CFR 141.40(e),(j),(n)(ll) and (n)(12)
Promulgated National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWRs) for a number of the existing unregulated
contaminants including EDB and DBCP, which were previously only to be monitored if the State determined a
system to be vulnerable to them.
Resulted in the list of unregulated contaminants being reduced from a total of 84 to 48 substances.
» Implicitly continued requirement for repeat monitoring to be conducted every five years.

The unregulated contaminants are displayed in four groups (i.e.,
Groups 1-4) on the report form according to the location of the
contaminants within the Federal regulations. This grouping is for
organizational purposes only: no other meaning should be derived
from its use.
It is the PWS's responsibility to identify the individual
contaminants on the form for which this sample is to be analyzed.
If all the contaminants within a Group are to be analyzed, the
PWS is likely to only mark (/) the Group label located to the left
of the Group title. Return samples and report forms to the PWS
if the contaminant information is incomplete upon receipt at the
lab.
Analyze the sample only for the marked contaminants. For your
convenience, two reference codes are associated with each
contaminant: the Federal Reporting Data System (FRDS-II)
number and the Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) number.
The valid signs are less than (<) and equal to (=).
If no amount of contaminant is detected in accordance with your
lab's method detection limit (MDL) at the time of analysis, enter
" < " for the Sign.
If an amount is detected in accordance with your lab's method
detection limit at the time of analysis, enter " =" for the Sign.
Enter the numeric value of the result.
Non-Detects: For non-detects, the value entered should be zero
("0"). The analysis sign (the above data reporting element) in
these instances should be " < ".
For each contaminant analyzed, circle the EPA Analytical
Method used.
The person who performed the analysis or a responsible
laboratory official must sign the report form. The signature will
certify that the analytical results being reported were achieved
using the EPA analytical methods indicated. The person signing
the form will be the one to whom any follow-up questions about
the analysis will be directed.
Enter the date the form is signed by the laboratory analyst or
official.
Enter the title of the lab official who signed the form.
Enter the date the analytical results are forwarded to the PWS.
Where to Send This Form
A completed Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Report form should be completed and submitted for each sample
analyzed.
Follow the State approved laboratory reporting procedures (i.e., report results directly to the State from the laboratory or
send the results directly to the PWS). If no instructions are received, send the results directly to the PWS. Regardless
of the transmission process, the analytical results are due to the State drinking water office within 30 days of their
completion.

One form should accompany each sample being analyzed. A sample consists of all sample containers, e.g., duplicates,
filled at one sampling point during one sampling period.
Type or print responses.
The following portions of the form should be completed in advance by the public water system (PWS): (1) Sections A, B
and C in their entirety, (2) the contaminants to be analyzed should be noted under Section E and (3) the FRDS PWS
Identification number and the Sample ID prefix number should be noted at the top of each report page for tracking
purposes. The Sample ID prefix number should correspond, in some fashion, to the ID number noted on the sample
bottle.

Check YES or NO to indicate whether this sample is part of a
composite. If YES and contaminants are not detected, check (/)
the number corresponding to the total number of individual
samples (including the one for which this form is being
completed) in the composite.
Complete the report form that accompanies each sample even if
several samples are blended. If contaminants are not detected in
a composite, enter the results on each form. If contaminants are
detected in a composite, then analyses must be performed for
each individual sample.
E* Laboratory
Unit of Measurement
Indicate whether all values are being expressed in the same unit
of measurement or whether the unit of measurement for each
value is being entered individually. Indicate the units used as
either micrograms/liter (/tg/1 or parts per billion) or
milligrams/liter (mg/1 or parts per million). The preferred unit of
measure is /ig/I.
D-9
-------
Analytical Sign: The responses are less than (<) or equal to (=)
The less than ( <) response means the contaminant was not
detected according to the laboratory's method detection limit
(MDL) at the time of analysis. The equal to (=) response means
me contaminant was detected according to the lab's method
detection limit at the time of analysis.
Analytical Value: The laboratory is to enter the actual numeric
value of the analysis. For non-detects the value reported should
be zero ("0"). The analytical sign (the above data reporting
element) would be " < " in these instances.
Where to S$nd Th|s Form
The laboratory analyst or other appropriate laboratory official is to sign, note their title and date the sampling form prior
to submitting it to the PWS or the State.
Completed Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Report forms should be submitted to the State drinking water office
within 30 days of completion of the sample analytical results unless otherwise instructed. A completed report form should
be submitted for each sample analyzed.
Follow your State's routine procedures for reporting monitoring results (i.e., reporting results directly to the State from
the laboratory or from the PWS). The reports are due to the State drinking water office within 30 days regardless of the
transmission process.

Check one of the two categories listed. The only instance in
which the raw/untreated water category should be marked is if you
are a ground system that does not provide treatment. Otherwise
the regulations require sampling of treated water (i.e., at the entry
point to the distribution system representative of each well after
treatment for ground water systems and at points in the distribution
system representative of each source or at the entry point to the
distribution system after treatment for surface water systems).
Check one of the three categories provided. If a sample is
composited and the composite consists of any water from a surface
source, the "surface water or purchased surface water" category
should be marked.
Enter a unique identifier for the sample. This number should be
noted on the top of each page of the report form and should also
be reflected (in total or as a subset) on the sample container for
tracking purposes. This number will be used for follow-up
purposes if a confirmation sample is required or if questions arise
regarding the sample.
EPA recommends that PWSs assign a unique three-digit prefix
number for each sample. The report form provides space for this
three-digit number to be assigned. Additionally, the report form
allows for the prefix to be combined with a two-digit suffix unique
to each contaminant. This suffix appears on the report form to the
left of each contaminant.
Enter the date the sample was collected in a MM/DD/YY format.
Check one of the two categories noted to indicate the purpose of
the sample. A Routine Sample is one collected to comply with
State drinking water regulations. A Confirmation Sample is one
collected in response to a special (non-routine) State directive.
If the sample is a Confirmation Sample, enter the Original Sample
ID number. Each Confirmation Sample must be collected at the
same location as the original sample.
This section is to be completed by the approved drinking water laboratory completing the

(<) less than means the contaminant was not detected
according to the lab's method detection limit (i.e., MDL) at
the time of analysis.
(=) equal to means the contaminant was detected according
to the lab's method detection limit (i.e., MDL) at the time of
analysis.
20
Analytical Result - Value (maximum of seven digits to the left
of the decimal point and eight digits to the right) - the actual
numeric value of the analysis. For non-detects the value
reported must be "0".
21
EPA Analytical Method Number (three digits to the left of
the decimal point and up to two to the right) - the method
number of the EPA analytical method used (an explicit
requirement).
22
Signature of Laboratory Analyst or Official - the signature
of the person who performed the analysis or of a responsible
laboratory official. This signature will certify that the analytical
results reported were achieved using the EPA analytical
methods indicated.
23
Date of Signature (six digits in "MM/DD/YY" order) - the
date the lab analyst or official signed the example report form;
see #22 above.

Laboratory Certification Number (five characters) - the EPA
or State certification number for the laboratory that performed
the analysis. The regulations require, at 40 CFR 141.40(h), that
analyses be conducted by approved laboratories.
Analysis Date (six digits in "MM/DD/YY" order) - the date the
laboratory analyzed the sample (an explicit requirement).
Composite - a two-part item. The first part indicates whether
the sample is part of a composite (the choices are YES and NO).
If YES, the second part shows the total number of individual
samples in the composite (the choices are 2, 3, 4, and 5). The
regulations at 40 CFR 141.40(m) and (n)(9) allow the use of
composite samples from a maximum of five sampling points for
most systems.
EPA requires reporting of composites. The source type
element (item 9) should denote "surface water or purchased
surface water" if any of the composite is made up of surface
water. This is required due to the potential for contaminants to
be masked in one or more of the samples through dilution.
Samples analyzed as part of a composite are evaluated
differently by EPA than stand-alone samples.

(continued)
PWS to State Reporting: EPA recommends that PWSs assign a
unique three-digit prefix number for each sample. The Example
Report Form appearing in Appendix D of this document
provides space for a three-digit prefix to be assigned.
Additionally, the form allows for the prefix to be combined with
a two-digit suffix (already appearing on the form) for the
contaminant being analyzed.
State to EPA Reporting (five digits): States must report a five-
digit Sample ID number to EPA that is unique within the PWS
for the sample/contaminant being reported. As a
recommendation only, the Sample ID number could consist of a
three-digit prefix and a two-digit suffix: the prefix being derived
from the identifier submitted by the PWS and the appropriate
two-digit suffix number taken from the Example Report Form
(see Appendix D) for the contaminant being analyzed.
Regardless of the method used to assign this number, it is
critical for SDWIS reporting that the entire five digit Sample ID
number be unique within the PWS for which sample results are
being submitted.
11
Sample Collection Date (six digits in "MM/DD/YY" order) -
the date the sample is collected. This data element is explicitly
required by the regulations. The information will be used for
compliance and occurrence assessment purposes.
12
Sample Purpose - the basis for sample collection. The valid
choices are:
Routine sample (collected for compliance with the
regulations)
Confirmation sample (collected in response to a State
directive).
13
Original Sample ID Number (five digits) - the sample ID
number submitted with the original sample. This field will only
be used when confirmation samples are taken and reported.
This data element will facilitate linking the confirmation sample
results with original sample data.

Sampling Point Type - the water type represented by the
sample. The valid choices are:
Finished/treated water
Raw/untreated water.
The regulations at 40 CFR 141.40 require sampling for surface
water and ground water systems that will represent
finished/treated water. The only time the raw/untreated water
category should be reported is for ground water systems that do
not conduct treatment.
The water type represented by the sample is an important
component to determining occurrence. Therefore, this data
element is required to be reported by the States.
Source Type - the source type represented by the sample. The
valid choices are:
Surface water or purchased surface water
Ground water under the direct influence of surface water or
purchased ground water under the direct influence of surface
water
Ground water or purchased ground water.
If a composite sample consists of any water from a surface
source, it is considered a surface or purchased water source.
This information will aid EPA in determining occurrence for
various types of systems and in determining possible
vulnerability factors.

PWS Name - the name of the PWS.
PWS Mailing Address - the street address or post office box

PWS State - the State (two-character postal code) associated
with the PWS mailing address.
PWS Zip Code - the zip code associated with the PWS mailing
address.
Sampling Point ID Number (three digits) - an ID number
established by the PWS and unique to the system for a sampling
point. Within each PWS, each sampling point must receive a
unique ID number, including entry points to the distribution
system as well as other locations within the treatment plant.
The same Sampling Point ID number must be used consistently
throughout the history of unregulated monitoring to represent
the sampling point.
If Round 2 monitoring data have already been collected and
reported by PWSs to the State, this data element does not apply
(i.e., need not be reported by the States to EPA). This data
element will become a mandatory data element to be submitted
by PWSs to States and by States to EPA beginning in 1996. If,
however, PWSs presently assign such numbers, they should
report these numbers to the State at this time. The Sampling
Point ID number will enable EPA to qualify incoming
occurrence data and plot the information geographically.

'There are 25 required data elements, each of which PWSs must report to State drinking water programs. States,
however, must report only 11 of the 25 data elements to EPA.
'The reporting of these 12 checked (/) data elements is explicitly required in the regulations at 40 CFR 141.35(c).
'The 10 checked (/) data elements are implicitly required in the regulations and are based on EPA and State needs
to evaluate specific information for programmatic and enforcement purposes, hi 1996, the number of data elements to
be reported will increase to 11. Item 7, Sampling Point ED, will be required to be reported by the PWSs to States at that
time. If such identifiers are presently available, they should be reported to States at this time.
'These checked (/) data elements are operational requirements to support SDWIS. They will enable EPA to store,
categorize, and analyze the unregulated monitoring data.
'The 11 (/) checked data elements are the minimum elements the States must report to EPA. In 1996, this number
will increase to 12. Item 7, Sampling Point ID, will be required to be reported by the States at that time.
'The names and addresses of every PWS are already contained in SDWIS; therefore, the States do not need to report
these data elements to EPA. EPA will depend on the States to ensure that the FRDS PWS ID number is valid and
corresponds to the PWS for which data are being submitted.
7 As long as the analysis of each water sample is performed by an approved laboratory, it will not matter
programmatically which laboratory was involved. Therefore, EPA does not require that States report this data element.
EPA will depend on the States to ensure that the Laboratory Certification Number is valid and accurate for a laboratory
that has been approved for drinking water analysis using the prescribed EPA analytical methods.
"EPA does not require the States to submit the signature, date of signature, and title of the signatory. Rather, EPA
will depend on the States to ensure that an appropriate laboratory official has signed and dated the form.

APPENDIX C
Summary Table of Minimum Data Elements
for Reporting Unregulated Contaminants and
Description of Each Data Element
This appendix contains a table outlining the minimum data elements that must be reported by
Public Water Systems (PWSs) to States and also those that must be reported by States to EPA.
The table distinguishes between those reporting requirements that are explicitly and implicitly
stated in the regulations and those that are included to facilitate the operation of the Federal
Reporting Data System (FRDS-II). The appendix also contains a description and rationale for
each of the data elements.

DATA CAPTURE FORM H1
UNREGULATED CONTAMINANTS MONITORING (UCM) REPORTING2
Example 1
The objective of the following Data Capture Form HI is to insert UCM data for a surface water
source (C2115, SOURCE TYPE, of "1").
On January 6, 1993, Public Water System MN1840002, collected a routine regulatory compliance
sample (ID 00138) for Hexachlorobutadiene, Sample Contaminant Code 2246 (see table 2107 in
the FRDS-n Data Element Dictionary, Section VI.)
The finished water sample was taken at an entry point to the distribution system, Sampling Point
004.
The laboratory analyzed sample 00138, where 001 represents a unique three-digit number
assigned by the PWS, and 38 is the two-digit suffix assigned to Hexachlorobutadiene for use in
reporting to FRDS-n. The sample analysis result, reported in Micrograms/liter, was .612. Since
this value was the amount detected, C2109 is entered as "=". The analytic method used for
testing was 503.1, an approved analysis method for Hexachlorobutadiene. (See table ID 12 in the
FRDS-II Data Element Dictionary, Section VI, for valid contaminant/analysis method
combinations.)
The state notified reported the following information on May 15, 1993:

Example 3
The objective of the following Data Capture Form HI is to insert UCM data for a ground water
source (C2115, SOURCE TYPE, of "3"), using Unregulated Expansion Codes (UECs).
On January 10, 1994, Public Water System LAI 653 876, collected samples for Group 4
contaminants.
The finished water sample was taken at an entry point to the distribution system, Sampling Point
001.
The laboratory analyzed the sample, reporting the analysis results in Micrograms/liter. All of the
contaminants measured below the MDL of .0005 mg/1. The user reports a SAMPLE ANALYSIS
RESULT of 0 when it is less than or equal to .0005. The analytic method used for testing was
502.2, an approved analysis method for Group 4 contaminants.

Example 4
The objective of the following Data Capture Form HI is to insert UCM data for a ground water
source (C2115, SOURCE TYPE, of "3"), using UECs where all but one of the contaminants
analyzed were below the MDL.
On January 10, 1994, Public Water System TX23 57682, collected a Confirmation sample
requested by the State for Group 4 contaminants. The finished water sample was taken at an
entry point to the distribution system, Sampling Point 001.
On January 11, the laboratory analyzed the sample, reporting the analysis result in
Micrograms/liter. All contaminants but one tested below the MDL of .0005.
Hexachlorobutadiene, contaminant code 2246, tested .6010.
