(ii) The location, date, and result of each sample taken during the last quarter.

(iii) The arithmetic average of all samples taken in the last quarter.

(iv) The annual arithmetic average of the quarterly arithmetic averages of this section for the last four (4) quarters.

(v) Whether, based on Section D(2)(a) above, the MCL was violated.

(b) Systems monitoring for TTHMs and HAA5 under the requirements of R.61-58.13.C(2) less frequently than quarterly (but at least annually) must report
(i) The number of samples taken during the last year.

(ii) The location, date, and result of each sample taken during the last monitoring period.

(iii) The arithmetic average of all samples taken over the last year.

(iv) Whether, based on Section D(2)(a) above, the MCL was violated.

(c) Systems monitoring for TTHMs and HAA5 under the requirements of R.61-58.13.C(2) less frequently than annually must report:
(i) The location, date, and result of each sample taken.

(ii) Whether, based on Section D(2)(a) above, the MCL was violated.

(d) Systems monitoring for chlorite under the requirements of R.61-58.13.C(2) must report:
(i) The number of entry point samples taken each month for the last three (3) months.

(ii) The location, date, and result of each sample (both entry point and distribution system) taken during the last quarter.

(iii) For each month in the reporting period, the arithmetic average of all samples taken in each three (3) samples set taken in the distribution system.

(iv) Whether, based on Section D(2)(c) above, the MCL was violated, and in which month, and how many times it was violated each month.

(e) System monitoring for bromate under the requirements of R.61-58.13.C(2) must report:
(i) The number of samples taken during the last quarter.

(ii) The location, date, and result of each sample taken during the last quarter.

(iii) The arithmetic average of the monthly arithmetic averages of all samples taken in the last year.

(iv) Whether, based on Section D(2)(b) above, the MCL was violated.

(3) Disinfectants - Systems must report the following information:

(a) Systems monitoring for chlorine or chloramines under the requirements of R.61-58.13.C(3) must report:
(i) The number of samples taken during each month of the last quarter.

(ii) The monthly arithmetic average of all samples taken in each month for the last twelve (12) months.

(iii) The arithmetic average of all monthly averages for the last twelve (12) months.

(iv) Whether, based on Section D(3)(a) above, the MRDL was violated.

(b) Systems monitoring for chlorine dioxide under the requirements of R.61-58.13.C(3) must report:
(i) The dates, results, and locations of samples taken during the last quarter.

(ii) Whether, based on Section D(3)(b) above, the MRDL was violated.

(iii) Whether the MRDL was exceeded in any two (2) consecutive daily samples and whether the resulting violation was acute or Non-acute.

(4) Disinfection byproduct precursors and enhanced coagulation or enhanced softening - Systems must report the following information:

(a) System monitoring monthly or quarterly for TOC under the requirements of R.61-58.13.C(4) and required to meet the enhanced coagulation or enhanced softening requirements in R.61-58.13.F(2)(b) or (c) must report:
(i) The number of paired (source water and treated water) samples taken during the last quarter.

(ii) The location, date, and results of each paired sample and associated alkalinity taken during the last quarter.

(iii) For each month in the reporting period that paired samples were taken, the arithmetic average of the percent reduction of TOC for each paired sample and the required TOC percent removal.

(iv) Calculations for determining compliance with the TOC percent removal requirements, as provided in R.61-58.13.F(3)(a).

(v) Whether the system is in compliance with the enhanced coagulation or enhanced softening percent removal requirements in R.61-58.13.F(2) for the last four (4) quarters.

(b) System monitoring monthly or quarterly for TOC under the requirements of R.61-58.13(F)(1)(a) or (b)(C)(61-58.13(C)(4)) and meeting one or more of the alternative compliance criteria in R.61-58.13(C)(4)(F)(1)(a) or (b) must report:
(i) The alternative compliance criterion that the system is using.

(ii) The number of paired samples taken during the last quarter.

(v) The running annual arithmetic average based on monthly averages (or quarterly samples) of source water SUVA for systems meeting the criterion in R.61-58.13.F(1)(a)(v) or of treated water SUVA for systems meeting the criterion in R.61-58.13.F(1)(a)(vi).

(vi) The running annual average of source water alkalinity for systems meeting the criterion in R.61-58.13.F(1)(a)(iii) and of treated water alkalinity for systems meeting the criterion in R.61-58.13.F(1)(b)(i).
