This sheet is intended to help you remain in compliance with the LCR. To maintain compliance with the LCR you must take the specific action(s) checked (®) below with their respective compliance dates. Please refer to the Drinking Water Regulations (310 CIVIR 22.00) for specific requirements relative to Lead and Copper and Consumer Confidence Report Rules.

These four diagnostic samples are in addition to the minimum number required and the results are not used in determining the 906 percentiles for lead and copper. These samples are used to educate the school/school district or facility on the importance of lead and copper sampling and the MassDEP Lead Contamination Control Program (LCCA) for schools and facilities. The results for two (2) sampling sites (kitchen and drinking water source, such as a water fountain) for each of hvo schools/ facilities are summarized in the table below: School/Childcare Sampling Location Lead (mg/1) > AL?

TTY# Mass Relay Service 1-800.439.2370 MassDEP Website: w .massoov/dep Printed on Recycled Paper PWS REQUIREMENTS WHEN THE LEAD & COPPER ACTION LEVELS ARE MET: To maintain compliance with the LCR you must take the specific action(s) checked (ED below ivith their respective compliance dates. ® Notification to sampling program participants (Consumer Notice) required by 310 CMR 22.06B (6)(c): All water systems must deliver a consumer notice of lead and copper tap water monitoring results to persons served by the water system at sites that are tested as soon as practical, but no later than 30 days after the system leams of the tap monitoring results. A notification template for participating homeowners/individuals is available at: http://www.mass.eov/eea/docs/dephvater/approvals/year-thru-atpha/e-thru-Nerhn doc A notification template for participating schools or childcare facilities is available at: http://www.mass.eov/eea/docs/dep/water/approvals/year-thru-all2ha/e-thru-IAcrsn doc The Consumer Notice shall also include an explanation of the health effects of lead, steps consumers can take to reduce exposure to lead in drinking water, contact information for the public water system, the MCLG and action level for lead. MassDEP recommends that you also include a copy of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health's (MDPH) fact sheet on lead with your consumer notice. MDPH factsheets are available at mvw.mass.gov/dph/lead-sources ® Certification of notice to sampling program participants (Consumer Notice) required by 310 CMR 22.06B(6)(c): As soon as practical, but no later than within 90 days of the end of the monitoring period noted above, submit to MassDEP certification that persons served by the taps tested have been notified of the results. For a copy of the Certification form see http://www.mass.izov/eea/docs/dephvater/approvals/vear-thru-alpha/e-thru-Mcrceit doc ® Consumer Confidence Reporting (CCR) required by 310 CMR 22.16A: Community systems are required to include lead and copper results as provided above in your Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) except lead must be reported in parts per billion (ppb). For example, 0.015 mg/1 is 15 ppb. Please note that every CCR must include a short informational statement about lead in drinking water and its effects on children. Please refer to the CCR requirements of 3lb CMR 22.16A(12). For a copy of the CCR Certification form see http:/hnvNv.mass.gov/eea/docs/dephvater/approvals/year-thru-alpha/06-thru- d/ccrcert.doc ❑ Schools/Childcare Facilities that are a PWS or were sampled by a community system: Please remove from service any sites where the sample result was elevated for lead and/or copper until corrective action(s) have been taken. Within 60 days of the end of the Monitoring Period, please investigate & notify MassDEP of corrective actions taken to address the elevated lead and/or copper result(s) for samples collected from this school/childcare. Follow the MassDEP LCCA Follow-up Steps for Schools or Childcare Facilities listed at http://wavw.mass.gov/eea/docs/dephvater/drinking/alpha/i-thrtrzJpbfacts2 doc . ® School/Childcare Sampling required by 310 CMR 22.06B(7)(a)9: Sampling requrements Community systems that serve any schools/childcare facilities must rotate through their list of schools/childcare facilities and collect at least two samples (kitchen and bubbler/fountain) from two schools/childcare facilities during the next sampling round. Samples are to be 250 ml wide -mouthed bottles and follow, the same first draw sampling protocol as residential sampling. Samples are to be collected when the school is in regular use. For schools sampling procedures see ® Systems on reduced monitoring in accordance with 310CMR 22.06B: Your system is on a reduced sampling frequency. Your next round of 30 must be collected during the monitoring period of June 1— September 30, 2019. Please follow your Water Quality Sampling Schedule and your approved Lead and Copper Sampling Plan. ❑ After approval of the overall sampling plan (LCR-A) by MassDEP, alternative LCR sites may be used without additional prior approval if: (1) the primary site was not above the LCR action level during the previous sampling round (if previously sampled) and (2) the alternate site is at the same or higher tier than the primary site. Alternately, if these two criteria cannot be met then prior written approval from MassDEP is required prior to using the alternate site. The use of alternate sites requires completion of the "Lead and Copper Sampling Plan Change in Sampling Site" form for each alternate site used and submittal of the form(s) to MassDEP with the lead and copper results for the round. A copy of the Lead and Copper Sampling Plan Change in Sampling Site Form is located at http://Nvww.mass.gov/eea/docs/dephvater/approvals/year-thru- alpha/m-thru-s/pbcuchn g. doc ❑ Eligibility for Sampling Reduction in accordance with 310 CMR 22.0613: A reduction in the frequency of lead/copper sampling is approved: ❑ Annual ❑ Every 3 years. Your next round of [insert # of sites] must be collected during the monitoring period of June 1— September 30, [insert year]. Please see the attached revised sampling schedule for your water system. Please be aware that if you have been approved for a reduction in the frequency of lead and copper sampling and you routinely collected more than 5 samples per Monitoring Period, you qualify for a one time reduction in the minimum number of samples required to be collected. In order to be approved for a reduction in the minimum number of samples required, you must submit a revised sampling plan to MassDEP for review and approval. In developing your revised sampling plan please use the latest sampling round, order the results starting with the lowest lead level and then select every odd numbered site for inclusion in the reduced monitoring plan. However, all Tier 1 sites must be included before a Tier 2 site can be included. Your revised sampling plan must be submitted to MassDEP for review by ® Corrosion Control Treatment as required by 310 CMR 22.06B(3)(c)3: For water systems that utilize corrosion control treatment, it is required that they periodically monitor water quality parameters (e.g., pH, alkalinity, inhibitor residual) to ensure that the treatment system is operating optimally and in accordance with target level(s) identified in your desktop study or permit. These parameters can be easily measured in the field by the certified operator at the same time samples for bacteriological analysis are collected from the finished water entry point (plant tap) and at routine distribution sampling locations. ® EPA and MassDEP recommend that systems with corrosion control treatment follow the New EPA "Optimal Corrosion Control Treatment Evaluation Technical Recommendations", when evaluating corrosion control treatment issues. These recommendations provide the most appropriate treatment for controlling lead and copper and complying with the corrosion control treatment (CCT) requirements of the LCR. It is particularly useful for those systems that repeatedly fail to meet the Lead Action Level or are in close proximity to the Action Level. It is an opportunity for PW Ss to re-evaluate treatment techniques in the context of possible changing water quality or the need of a more effective method of treatment. The document is available at: https //www.epa gov/dNvregido/optimal-corrosion-control-treatment-evaluation-technical-recommendations ® Other: Please investigate the high lead level at 23 Plantingfield Drive. Failure to take any required corrective actions within the deadlines identified above may subject you to enforcement. Violations of M.G.L. c 111, § 160 and 310 CAM 22.00 may result in fines up to $25,000 per day and/or imprisonment up to one year for each day the violation continues.
