Part 141 National Primary Drinking Water Regulations

Subpart A—General

40 CFR 141.2 Definitions.

Hazard index (HI) is the sum of component hazard quotients (HQs), which are calculated by
dividing the measured regulated PFAS component contaminant concentration in water (e.g.,
expressed as parts per trillion (ppt) or nanograms per liter (ng/l)) by the associated Health-Based
Water Concentration (HBWC) expressed in the same units as the measured concentration (e.g.,
ppt or ng/l). For PFAS, a mixture Hazard Index greater than 1 (unitless) is an exceedance of the
MCL.

40 CFR 141.2





Hazard quotient (HQ) means the ratio of the measured concentration in drinking water to the
health-based water concentration (HBWC).

40 CFR 141.2





Health-based water concentration (HBWC) means level below which there are no known or
anticipated adverse health effects over a lifetime of exposure, including sensitive populations
and life stages, and allows for an adequate margin of safety.

For the purpose of this subpart, detected means: at or above the levels prescribed by §

141.23(a)(4) for inorganic contaminants, at or above the levels prescribed by § 141.24(f)(7) for
the contaminants listed in § 141.61(a), at or above the levels prescribed by § 141.24(h)(18) for
the contaminants listed in § 141.61(c) (except PFAS), at or above the levels prescribed by §

141.131(b)(2)(iv) for the contaminants or contaminant groups listed in § 141.64, at or above the
levels prescribed by § 141.25(c) for radioactive contaminants, and at or above the levels
prescribed in § 141.902(a)(5) for PFAS listed in § 141.61(c).

40 CFR 141.153 Content of the reports.

Hazard Index or HI. The Hazard Index is an approach that determines the health concerns
associated with mixtures of certain PFAS in finished drinking water. Low levels of multiple PFAS
that individually would not likely result in adverse health effects may pose health concerns when
combined in a mixture. The Hazard Index MCL represents the maximum level for mixtures of
PFHxS, PFNA, HFPO-DA, and/or PFBS allowed in water delivered by a public water system. A
Hazard Index greater than 1 requires a system to take action.

If, during the compliance monitoring period, a system is monitoring triennially and a PFAS listed
in § 141.61(c) is detected at a level equal to or exceeding the trigger levels defined in paragraph
(a)(5) of this section in any sample, then the system must monitor quarterly for all regulated
PFAS beginning in the next quarter at the sampling point. The triggering sample must be used as
the first quarter of monitoring for the running annual average calculation.

40 CFR

141.902(b)(2)(i

For all source water types, a State may determine that all regulated PFAS at a sampling point are
reliably and consistently below the MCL after considering, at a minimum, four consecutive
quarterly samples collected during the compliance monitoring period. A sampling point that a
State has determined to be reliably and consistently below the MCL is required to collect annual
samples for at least the first three years after that determination is made. Annual samples must
be collected in the quarter in which detected concentrations were highest during the most
recent year of quarterly monitoring. If, after three consecutive years, annual samples all contain
results that are below the trigger levels defined in paragraph (a)(5) of this section, the State may
allow a system to begin triennial monitoring at the sampling point. The water system must
collect triennial samples in the quarter with the highest concentrations during the most recent
round of quarterly sampling. If an annual sample meets or exceeds an MCL or the State
determines that the result is not reliably and consistently below the MCL for all regulated PFAS,
then the system must monitor quarterly for all regulated PFAS beginning in the next quarter at
the sampling point.

Annual

A State makes a determination that all regulated
PFAS concentrations at the sampling point are
reliably and consistently below PFAS MCLs, after
considering, at a minimum, 4 consecutive
quarterly samples collected during the
compliance monitoring period.

Sample must be collected at
a time designated by the
State, within the quarter that
yielded the highest analytical
result during the most recent
round of quarterly sampling.

Quarterly

At an individual sampling point, either:

(1)	Any regulated PFAS concentration meets or
exceeds a trigger level during initial monitoring;

(2)	Sampling is occurring quarterly during
compliance monitoring and a State has not made
a determination that all levels of regulated PFAS
at the sampling point are reliably and consistently
below the regulated PFAS MCLs; or (3) A sample
collected by a system required to conduct
triennial monitoring contains regulated PFAS
concentrations that meet or exceed trigger levels.
The first of these samples meeting or exceeding
the trigger level is considered the first quarterly
sample. (4) A sample collected by a system
required to conduct annual monitoring contains
regulated PFAS concentrations that meet or
exceed an MCL. The first of these samples

Samples must be collected in
four consecutive quarters, on
dates designated by the
State.

1. The monitoring frequency at a sampling point must be the same for all regulated PFAS and is
determined based on the most frequent sampling required for any regulated PFAS detected at a
level at or exceeding the trigger level.

The State may require a confirmation sample for any sampling result. If a confirmation sample is
required by the State, the system must average the result with the first sampling result and the
average must be used for the determination of compliance with MCLs as specified by § 141.903.
A State may delete results of obvious sampling errors from the MCL compliance calculations
described in § 141.903. If the State deletes a result because of an obvious sampling error and the
system fails to collect another sample this is a monitoring violation as described in § 141.905(c).

40 CFR

141.902(b)(2)(v)

The State may increase the required monitoring frequency, where necessary, to detect variations

of 4.0 ng/l for either PFOS or PFOA, 10 ng/l for HFPO-DA, PFHxS, or PFNA, or a Hazard Index of 1
for the Hazard Index PFAS, must begin quarterly sampling for all regulated PFAS in the next
quarter at the sampling point.

40 CFR

Except as provided in this paragraph (e), if a sample result exceeds an MCL, the system will not
be considered in violation of the MCL until it has completed one year of quarterly sampling at
the sampling point with the triggering sample used as the first quarter of monitoring for the
running annual average calculation. However, whenever a sample result in any quarter (or
quarterly average, if more than one compliance sample is available in a quarter because a
confirmation sample was required by the State) causes the running annual average to exceed the
MCL at a sampling point regardless of the subsequent quarterly monitoring results required to
complete a full year of monitoring (e.g., the results from a single sample are more than 4 times
the MCL), the system is out of compliance with the MCL immediately.

For systems monitoring quarterly, divide the observed sample analytical result for each analyte
included in the Hazard Index by the corresponding HBWC listed in § 141.61(c) to obtain a hazard
quotient for each analyte for each sampling event at each sampling point. Sum the resulting
hazard quotients together to determine the Hazard Index for the quarter. If the State requires a
confirmation sample for an analyte in the quarter, systems must average these results for each
analyte in that quarter and then determine the hazard quotient(s) from those average values,
then sum the hazard quotients. Once the Hazard Indices for the individual quarters are
calculated, they are averaged to determine a running annual average. If the running annual
average Hazard Index exceeds the MCL and two or more Hazard Index analytes had an observed
sample analytical result at or above the PQL in any of the quarterly samples collected to
determine the running annual average, the system is in violation of the Hazard Index MCL. No
rounding occurs until after the running annual average Hazard Index is calculated.

and PFNA) are compared to the Hazard Index MCL as listed in § 141.61(c). For determining
compliance with the Hazard Index MCL, if only PFBS is reported at any concentration and no
other regulated PFAS are in the mixture, it is not violation of the Hazard Index MCL. If only one of
the other PFAS within the Hazard Index (HFPO-DA, PFHxS, and PFNA) is detected and the level of
this PFAS exceeds its MCL as determined by § 141.903(f)(l)(i), only an individual MCL violation is
assessed for the individual PFAS detected, and it is not a violation of the Hazard Index MCL.
Exceedances of the Hazard Index caused by two or more of the Hazard Index PFAS (HFPO-DA,
PFBS, PFHxS, and PFNA) and exceedances of one or more individual MCLs can result in multiple
MCL exceedances. However, in this instance, for purposes of public notification under appendix
