The deficiencies noted are as follows:

1. Develop Coliform sampling plan.
2. Monitoring:
a. Lead and copper sampling is past due. Samples were last collected in 1998, and are required to be done every three (3) years. Violations for non-reporting must be published in your consumer confidence report, if you have not done so already. Please conduct the sampling as soon as possible and maintain the three-year frequency. Always sample lead & copper between June and September.
b. Disinfection by-product (DBP) sampling is past due. Monitoring must be done annually. DBPs consist of a trihalomethane (THM) sample and a haloacetic acid (HAA5) sample. It is a requirement for all systems that chlorinate or receive chlorinated water. The samples must be taken from one site at the location of maximum residence time in the system. Once you select a site, you must continue to collect the sample from the same site. Always sample THM's & HAA5's during the warmest month of the year.
c. As described above, a coliform sample must be taken every month from a different location.
i. Take a residual chlorine sample with each coliform sample - perhaps City of Portland can assist you with this sampling.
3. Develop an Operations and Maintenance Manual.
4. Develop Emergency Response Plan.
5. You must distribute CCRs every year.
6. An operator needs to be certified at the appropriate level.
7. Develop a cross-connection program.
