Box 66 Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 Dear Council Members: j'Ui «/i?C SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION: Failure to Meet Bacteriological Monitoring Requirements, Orono According to our records, we did not receive the required number of monthly bacteriological water samples for the month of June, 2005. United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) rules un^ 40 CFR 141.21 as implemented by Minnesota Rules, part 4720.0350, require your system to have 3 water sample(s) analyzed each month. To date, we have received the results for 2 sample(s). Please note that all samples must be taken from representative sites on your distribution system. Any two samples taken at the same site at the same time can only count as one sample. Furthermore, raw water samples cannot be used to satisfy the bacteriological monitoring requirements. Your system is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is receiving a copy of your bacteriological results. Some laboratories do not mail results to the MDH. It is your responsibility to send a copy by the tenth day of the following month, or verify that your la^ratory is aware of this policy. Community water supplies that fail to submit the required samples must provide public notification (USEPA rules under 40 CFR 141 .32 as implemented by Minnesota Rules, part 4720.0350) to inform their consumers that the required sampling was not done. If a community repeatedly fails to submit samples, formal enforcement action, which may include fines, will be taken by either the USEPA or the MDH. A sample public notice is enclosed. Within 30 days of the date of this letter, this notice or one containing the exact information must be provided to the persons served by your water supply by one of the following methods: 1) published in a local newspaper, 2) direct mail to every residence serv'ed by your water supply, or 3) hand delivered to every residence served by your water supply.
