Deficient Monitoring |
On July 29, 2022, MRC sampled for coliform at EFF-001D as dictated by its random sampling schedule. The sample was sent to a contract laboratory, but the driver did not deliver the sample within the 8-hour hold time. MRC was notified of the hold time exceedance on Monday, August 1, 2022. The compliance week as defined in Order R2-2017-0039 is Sunday to Sunday meaning that MRC was not able to take an additional sample to meet the weekly monitoring requirements for coliform for the week of July 24, 2022. The coliform analysis for the July 29 sample was completed but it was not reported in CIWQS due to the qualifier of not meeting regulatory hold time requirements; the result was 2 MPN/100 mL. MRC verbally notified the Regional Water Quality Control Board of the monitoring deficiency on Monday, August 1, 2022. |
