(e) A PWS shall report one (1) of the following to the commissioner:

(1) If approved by the commissioner, a PWS may certify operation within required parameters for treatment credit rather than reporting monthly operational data for toolbox options.

(2) In accordance with the schedule set forth in the following table, a PWS shall report the specified information for any microbial toolbox options used to comply with treatment requirements under section 12 of this rule:
