SrIPro,ection Analytical Methods Approved for Compliance Monitoring under the
Surface Water Treatment Coliform Rule

Analysis for the following contaminants shall be conducted in accordance with the methods in the following table, or their equivalent as
determined by EPA. The methods and monitoring requirements for these contaminants are specified in 40 CFR 141.74(a)(1) and 40 CFR
141.74(a)(2). Additional methods are listed in Appendix A to Subpart C of Part 141.

The CFR is the legal reference for approved methods and takes precedent over this table. The table should accurately reflect the
analytical methods information published in 40 CFR 141.

§141.74(a)(l)- Analytical and monitoring requirements
(a)(1) Analytical requirements

(1) The time from sample collection to initiation of analysis may not exceed 8 hours. Systems must hold samples below 10 °C during transit.

The procedures must be done in accordance with the documents listed at §141.74(a)(1) or one of the alternative methods listed in Appendix A to Subpart C of
Part 141. For Standard Methods Online, the year in which each method was approved by the Standard Methods Committee is designated by the last two digits
following the hyphen in the method number. The methods listed are the only online versions of the method that maybe used. For vendor methods, the date of
the method listed in §141.74(a)(1) or Appendix A to Subpart C of Part 141 is the date/version of the approved method. The methods listed are the only versions
that may be used for compliance with this rule. Laboratories should be careful to use only the approved versions of the methods as product packaging inserts
may not be the same as the approved versions of the methods.

§141.74(a)(2)- Public water systems must measure residual disinfectant concentrations with one of the analytical methods in the following table or one of the
alternative methods listed in appendix A to subpart C of this part. If approved by the State, residual disinfectant concentrations for free chlorine and combined
chlorine also may be measured by using DPD colorimetric test kits. In addition, States may approve the use of the ITS free chlorine test strip for the
determination of free chlorine. Use of the test strips is described in Method D99-003, "Free Chlorine Species (HOCI" and OCI") by Test Strip/' Revision 3.0,
November 21, 2003, available from Industrial Test Systems, Inc., 1875 Langston St., Rock Hill, SC 29730. Free and total chlorine residuals may be measured
continuously by adapting a specified chlorine residual method for use with a continuous monitoring instrument provided the chemistry, accuracy, and precision
remain the same.
