In order to offer direct deposit, the bank requires that they receive the payroll information two business days prior to the payday, when funds aze available for withdrawal by employees. Currently, the City has several different paydays for employees: monthly, bi-weekly, and semi- monthly. In reviewing our current payroll system, there is not enough time between when the • work period ends and when employees get paid, to process the payroll and get the mformation to the bank on time Currently, the amount of time to process payroll varies between 0-5 days, depending on the payroll cycle and when weekends/holidays fall. The City also has several different work penods. Ideally, the work penod should match the federal Fair Labor Standazds Act (FLSA) work week (Sunday - Saturday) m order to administer overtime and compensatory time more efficiently. With the pending purchase of a new finance computer system, this is a perfect opportunity for the City to roll the various payroll cycles into one uniform cycle, be able to offer the option of direct deposit, and to have the work period follow the federal Fair Labor Standazds Act work week Recommendation Staff recommends the City Council approve the concept of converting all the City's payroll cycles to one uniform cycle, that would allow for employees to be paid every other Wednesday. By approving this concept, the City Council directs staff to begin discussions with various work groups and labor units. • STAFF REQUEST ITEM DEPARTMENT: Administration DATE: February 20, 2001 Council Meeting DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST (Briefiy outline what the request is): • Request to purchase 3,500 Canvas Recycling Totes for Stillwater households Cost $ 7,514 75 (includes impnnt fee, cost per tote, tax and shipping) FINANCIAL IMPACT (Briefly outline the costs,lf any, that are associated with this request and the proposed source of the funds needed to fund the request) This money is budgeted from the annual Washington County Recycling Grant ADDITIONAL ITEMS ATTACHED: YES NO _,~„_, ALL COUNCIL REQUEST ITEMS MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY CLERK A MINIMUM OF FIVE WORKING DAYS PRIOR TO THE NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED COUNCIL MEETING IN ORDER TO BE PLACED IN THE COUNCIL MATERIAL PACKET SUBMITTED B ~ DATE: February 16, 2001 Chantell Kadin, Director of Administration • STAFF REQUEST ITEM • • Department• Fire Date: February 16,2001 I DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST (Brefly outline what the request is) Contract month Hennepin Technical College for Live Fire Training (Contract from HTC not received yet) FINANCIAL IMPACT (Briefly outline the costs, if any, that are associated month this request and the proposed source of the funds needed to fund the request) _We ~nnll pay HTC $700 but ~nnll receive $1200 from homeowner for the demo{it~on of their home on 2/24/01 This will provide valuable training to our firefighters.

City staff has reviewed the accident history at this location and the indications aze that there are no immediate demands for stop signs The accident reports show only four minor accidents in the past six yeazs. In placing of stop signs, it's unportant to cazefiilly weigh the perceived benefits with the unpacts the new signs will have on the overall system and the negative impacts that stop signs can create as well. In azeas where stop signs aze not installed, state • law requires a driver yield to the driver on the right These unsigned locaUlocal street intersections is often the preferred method of control Motorists drive commensurate with the conditions of the roadway so they take responsibility and slow down Because drivers do so, the absence of regulatory signing can act as a speed inhibitor since drivers on all four approaches retain responsibility for conflict resolution Therefore, it is often preferable on local residential streets to avoid giving preferential street treatment to either street if the goal is to mm~m,~e speeds on both streets. The addition of regulatory signing such as stop signs, can actually increase the likelihood of a serious accident. Installation of two-way stop signs at an intersection gives preferential treatment to the cross street which increases the speed differential and therefore increases accident potential Looking at the existing regulatory intersection control the City has in place, it does appeaz that there may be some intersections where stop signs might be warranted It also appears that there aze some existing stop signs where elimination or modification may be warranted. City staff has had an item on the priority list for the past two yeazs to complete a stop sign study of the City. Perhaps, prior to taking any action on this intersection or any other intersection, it would be advantageous to examine the entire City regulatory system The City has worked with Glen Van Wormer of Short Elliot Hendrickson in the past to analyze our system. It is estimated that a complete report could be generated with the assistance of Glen Van Wormer for less than $2,500. February 16, 2001 RECOMIVVII;NDATION Staff recommends that Council consider completion of a City wide intersection control study and authorize an expenditure of approxunately $2,500 00 out of the Engineering Consultant fund for the services of Short Elliot Hendrickson • Memorandum , . • To: Mayor and City Council From: Klayton Eckles ~ t~ Date: 02/16/01 Subject: Creation of Brown's Creek Watershed Distract Work Group DISCUSSION There are a couple of new recent developments regarding Brown's Creek Watershed Distract that are quite significant to the City of Stillwater Fast, about two weeks ago, the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) passed a ruling to cause the merging of Brown's Creek Watershed Distract v~nth 1Vliddle St. Croix River Water Management Organization BWSR Staff has indicated that as of this date, all portions of the City of Stillwater now reside m the Brown's Creek Watershed Distract The another significant issue which has occurred is Brown's Creek Watershed • District presented the draft Second Generation Plan for managing water resources throughout the watershed The City of Stillwater has supplied the Watershed with official comments on this draft plan and the BWSR Board has directed Brown's Creek Watershed Distract to meet with communities within the watershed to create a plan that includes us in the process At the Planning Commission meeting BCWD staff presented the new management plan They discussed the possibility of having a task force consisting of a delegation of Stillwater representatives to meet with the Brown's Creek Watershed Distract Boardman attempt to resolve some of the issues we have with the Second Generation Plan Such a format, which would include BWSR officials, may be a productive way to promote the City's viewpoint on some of the water management and planning issues. The makeup of the City's delegation or workgroup would best include two Council Members, City Planner, City Engineer, Chairman of the Planning Commission, and perhaps the former representative of the Middle Rrver WMO, Ron Nelson, dr the City Admuustrator RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council appoint two Council Members and designate other representatives to serve on a Brown's Creek Work Group and duect the group to work to resolve issues concerning the Brown's Creek 2" Generation Plan and Watershed merger • MI CA • BUSINESS SYSTEMS 2500 Broadway Street N E • Suite 100 • Minneapolis, MN 55413 Phone (612) 378-3800 • Fax (612) 378-3100 2/14/01 Rose Holman MIS Specialist City Hall 216 North 4th st Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear Rose, '' This letter is to inform you that the software and hardware maintenance contract on your Minolta system is up for renewal In an effort to help your orgarnzation keep current with its maintenance coverage, we have included with this letter a system configuration document along with an invoice The system configuration document indicates what software modules and hardware components are covered under the terms of the maintenance agreement, including the dates of coverage The invoice reflects what's listed on the system configuration document and must be paid within 30 days • Listed below are features of the maintenance agreement • All Minolta version upgrades, major and minor, are included at no additional charge.

DISCUSSION The 2001 City budget includes $60,000 for restoration and improvements to the Brown's Creek Nature Preserve. The City is receiving approximately $300,000 from the Department of Natural Resources Greenways Program Discussions with DNR staff indicates that the DNR would tike to see the City move forward with the plan restoration activities Attached is a proposed restoration plan along with the time tine, descnption of the activity, and a rough estimate of the cost The most costly portion of this restoration is the creation of approximately 20 acres of praine and native vegetation planting • The restoration activity proposes a high quality praine south of the raikoad tracks along with planting native woodland species. Area north of the tracks envisions planting approximately 6 acres of a shorter praine to complement the Disc Golf Course The proposed plan still accommodates the disc golf activities, skiing and other passive recreahona.l uses All told, the restoration will include over 50 new species of native plants The prod ect will also remove invasive and exotic species such as box elder, buck thorn and black locust. It's anticipated that these removals would take place either using sentence to serve or volunteer help. One other umque aspect of this project is it will involve burning of the existing open fields. Burring these fields removes some of the existing vegetation and provides an opportunity for new plants to thnve. This burring could take place about mid April. The planting could follow soon after. The full benefits of the native prairie planting won't be realized until about the summer of 2003 However, by that trine this site should be an exceptional nature preserve and will be a tremendous asset to Stillwater and surrounding commumhes RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council review the proposed restoration activity plan and provide staff with any comments or concerns • m ° z m BROWt~i'S CRF,EIZ NATITRE PRESERVE AND PARK o RESTURATI4N PI.AI~' ° City of Stillwater o Febraary, 2001 m a m RBSTQRATION ACTIVITIES YEAR 2A01-2004 D z v ~~ A~VITY DESGitlg'1'IQN --- COSTIRESOURCES ~.

A Watershed District is a special purpose local unit of government. It is established for the purpose of managing water resources. It is different from all other local government units m that its boundary is determined by the natural divide that defines the drainage basin of a river. stream, or a lake, rather than the political boundaries of townships or counties. There is no maximum or minimum size set for watershed districts. By law, districts have been established for relatively small watersheds, as well as very large ones, such as the Red Lake Watershed District, which encompasses more than 6000 square miles. The Watershed Act allows districts to act on a broad range of water problems. Some of these include drainage and flood control, lake management, soil erosion and sedimentation, water quality, groundwater management water supply, and floodplain management • W t r ' 'tie W to hed i i tit ' 'e ? The Watershed Act provides districts with authorities needed to manage water resources. Some of their responsibilities are as follows: • To develop the Watershed Management Plan • To investigate and undertake water management improvement projects • To act as grant-eligible body for the application for and administration of state and federal grants • To adopt rules to regulate activities that can cause water-related problems • To acquire property needed for improvement projects • To assess properties benefitted by improvement projects • To exercise limited authority to levy taxes to finance district operation Who governs a Water hed Di trict~ Watershed Districts are governed by a local boazd of managers. When a district is first established, the initial board of managers is appointed by the Board of Water and So1I Resources from a list of manager nominees submitted along with the establishment petition. District managers cannot be county, state, or federal officials and they must reside within the distract. The first board of managers serves for only one year, thereafter it becomes the responsibility of the county boazds of commissioners that have ter story in the district t~ appoint the managers. The establishment petition can request from three to nine managers for a district, and the number of managers that each county is authorized to appoint is determined by the Boazd of Water and Soil Resources when it establishes the district. There is no set formula for distributing the appointments among counties, but the primary consideration is generally the area of land within each county. Where are Watershed District established? Districts can be established anywhere in the state. There are currently 42 watershed distracts in the state of Minnesota; the largest concentration is in the Red River Basin, in northwestern Minnesota. The Board of Water and Soil Resources has no power to establish a district unless it receives a petition from the local level. In addition, B. W.S.R has never gone azound promoting districts An establishment petition can be validated in four different ways. It can be signed by at Ieast half of the counties having land within the proposed district. It can be validated by a county or counties having at least half of the area of the proposed distract, the ma~oraty of cities within the proposed district, or by at least dO landowners within the proposed distract. 1~Iost • establishment petitions have been submitted by counties, rather than cities or landowners. When a petition is filed, B. W.S.R. is required to conduct a public hearing within the azea of the proposed distract to receive comments on the proposed distract. In order to establish a distract, B W S.R. must find that the proposed district would serve the purposes of the Watershed Act. Watershed Districts and the Watershed Mana~,ement PIan The first responsibility of a new district is to prepaze a watershed management plan. A watershed management plan must be written before the district can cazry out any projects. This plan must describe existing and potential water problems in the district, describe possible solutions, and define the general objectives of the boazd of managers. The board of managers is required to appoint a local advisory committee to assist it in putting together the watershed • management plan. The Board of Water and Soil Resources is required to conduct a public hearing on the watershed management plan before it can be put into effect. How do State and Federal laws and regulations a~~ly to Watershed D1strlCtS? Watershed Districts are not exempt from other state and federal laws and regulations. It is important to realize that although the Watershed Act provides the distract with a number of authorities to deal with local water management, the distracts' actions must be consistent with other applicable laws and rules. For example, if a distract is soing to carry out a lake level control project. the district would need to obtain a permit from the vlinnesota Department of Natural Resources to install a lake level control structure, the same as any other local unit of Q v misconce tions about this. ao eznment or individual. There are common p What are he advantages of having a Watershed District? A Watershed District provides a stable mechanism for dealing with water • management problems that cross the boundaries of several local governmental jurisdictions. In many instances. the attitudes and approaches taken by Local officials vary considerably depending upon their geographic position in the watershed. In many cases, upstream areas aze reluctant to admit that their activities are contributing to problems downstream, or else they are rel-,ictant to voluntarily join in efforts to downstream parties to solve water problems. The watershed district approach has been used in many instances to provide a mechanism for overcoming such upstream- downstream controversies. Secondly, it provides a local organization that can concentrate its efforts solely on water management Officials of general purpose local units of government i have many other responsibilities to deal with, and therefore, water management often takes a back seat to other local concerns. Water management is also a controversial subject because it necessitates dealing with people's property and how that property is used. It is often difficult for local officials to find support in their own areas for water management activities, when the primary benefits aze going to occur in a different area. It is easier for a watershed district boazd of managers to have awatershed-wide perspective of the problems and solutions, and to devote more of their time to water management efforts. Finally, the Watershed Act itself is designed specifically as a tool for managing water, and contains procedures and authorities that can facilitate solutions to water problems. For example, once a district's Watershed Management • Plan is m place, landowners can petition the boazd of managers for any a of ro ect t3'P P J that conforms to the plan. This flexibility makes it possible for a district to become involved in Just about any type of protect that may be needed to alleviate a local water problem. It is unportant to remember that watershed distracts are not the sole managers of water resources. Counties also have many authonties relating to water management and certainly are capable of doing what a watershed district can iff they are motivated and have the necessary support with adjoining counties. s:\watershe wpd B W.S.R. • • Stillwater Public Library 223 North Fourth Street Stillwater Minnesota 55082-4806 Tel. 651 439-1675 Fax.

Future issues will be distributed as needed to maintain information flow related to the UCMR. Editor's Note: The UCMR is amulti-tiered rule that was promulgated in the September 17, 1999 Federal Regcster starting on page 50556 (64 FR 50556) The three-tiered monitoring approach includes: Assessment Monitonng for the List 1 chemical contaminants, a Screening Survey for the hst 2 chemical contaminants and Aeromonas, and the Pre-Screen Testing for List 3 contaminants (mostly microbiological contaminants). On December 18, 2000, the List 2 Rule was signed by EPA Administrator, Carol Browner and will soon be published in the Federal Regcster. Well, I don't know about you, but forme, reading the Federal Register is a sure cure for insomnia. Therefore, one of the goals of this "rag" (the UCMR Update) will be to look at some of the major provisions of the Rule and attempt to put them into "plain language." Many of you~ust receiving this first issue of the UCMR Update have already received your notification of the start of the Assessment Monitonng phase of the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR). Notification letters were sent out at the beginning of October to more than one-third of the total (800) randomly selected small systems (those PWSs serving 10,000 or fewer persons) by the States and in some cases, by the Technical Support Center here in Cincinnati. Many of the small systems that were notified have been scheduled to begin sampling in the year 2001 Because of their size, the small systems will be getting assistance in the analysis and reporting of their samples. EPA will pay for the assembly and shipment of the sampling kits to the utility, shipment of the water samples to the designated analytical lab for analysis, and data entry of the results by the labs. The small systems will do the actual collection of the samples, but in some cases even that may be done by others (e.g , State or USEPA Regional personnel) In addition to the small systems, notification letters were also sent to the approximately 2700 large systems (serving more than 10,000 persons) that will be required to sample for the 12 contaminants on List 1 This list will more often be referred to as Assessment Monitoring The lazge systems, by virtue of their size and staffing, will have to provide their own sampling kits, sample collection, and analytical services. They will also have to have their own results entered into the Internet-based data entry system. In this first issue of the UCMR Update, we will look at Assessment Monitonng, Index Systems, Data Elements, Monitonng Frequency, the Small System Screening Survey, and Data Reporting I have selected these topics because they will all be important in the coming year Partnership is Formed -Due to the size and scope of the UCMR, and the fact that EPA will be directly implementing the rule without required assistance from the States, it was setup as a voluntary partnership arrangement between EPA and the StatesfTerritories. Most of the States did sign Partnership Agreements (PAs), while others only agreed to do certain aspects of the monitoring, but did agree, in a letter to EPA, to do these tasks. A few states said they would not take part in any of the UCMR activities, an action which required the USEPA to get involved directly with the utilities. In addition to USEPA and the states, there are several other players in this undertaking. For instance, EPA Regional offices were responsible for negotiating the Partnership Agreements with the States. As monitoring begins, some EPA Regional offices will be collecting samples for systems as well as assisting with the review of data or assisting with compliance issues. Therefore, the EPA Regions should be ora-~af the first contacts for questions concerning the UCMR. EPA is also working with several contractors on implementation of the UCMR. First, Cadmus (an EPA contractor located in Massachusetts) has been responsible for randomly selecting the "small" PWSs for Assessment Monitoring and the Screening Surveys, as well as the Large (serving over 10,000 persons) PWSs which will participate in the Screening Surveys. They also worked with the States to compile the State Monitoring Plans (SMP) and drafted all of the guidance documents. Great Lakes Environmental Center (GLEC) was chosen as the small system implementation contractor for the UCMR They will be responsible for coordination of the small system sampling effort including the design and shipment of sampling kits to the systems (or State/Regional samplers). They wtll also review data from the laboratory analysis of the small system samples. Furthermore, GLEC will be working with Montgomery Watson (MW) and Environmental Health Laboratory (EHL), who will perform the chemical analyses for all the small systems in the UCMR. Another contractor, the National Service Center for Environmental Publications (NSCEP) is assisting with all the mass mailings (of notification letters and the Like) which need to be undertaken for the UCMR. Finally, Logistics Management Institute (LMn is developing the web-based data entry system, as well as the format for transfemng batch data. Of course, there is even a partnership "within" the EPA to get the UCMR off the ground and running, involving several groups within the Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water. For example, the Targeting and Analysis Branch (TAB) was responsible for getting the Rule published. The • Infrastructure Branch (18) will be responsible for getting the data to Envirofacts. The Office of Environmental Information (OEn is responsible for getting the electronic data reporting system in shape. And last, but not least, the Technical Support Center (TSC), here in Cincinnati, is responsible for unplementing the UCMR. TSC also played a significant role in the development of the Rule. As you can see, the UCMR is truly a partnership arrangement. And TSC, for one, is looking forward to a successful partnership. List 2 Large Systems Revealed -The list of lazge systems selected for the UCMR a Screening Survey for List 2 contaminants is available for your viewing pleasure on EPA's website at http //www epa.fov/safewater/standard/ucmr/list2lar$esystems html The list consists of the 120 systems designated for 2002, and 120 systems selected~for monitoring in 2003 Assessment Monitoring -When you hear the words, Assessment Monitonng, think of List 1. This list contains 12 chemical contaminants, eleven of which can be analyzed using current analytical methods. Anew method for the determination of perchlorate (EPA Method 314 0) was developed specifically for the UCMR. [Refer to Table 1 rn the Rule (p. 50613) for the complete list.] Eleven of the contaminants are organics, while perchlorate, is an inorganic contaminant One year of Assessment Monitonng for the List 1 contaminants must take place dunng the period beginning January 1, 2001 and ending December 31, 2003 The schedule for Assessment Monitoring for small systems down to the year and month has already been determined from the State Monitonng Plans (SMPs). Our implementation contractor, GLEC, will soon be contacting the small systems to establish the exact week of sampling and to begin shipping sampling kits to the systems (or the State/EPA Regional samplers) • As for the large systems, they have been notified about the monitoring period for the List 1 UCMR contaminants, but have some discretion when it comes to the year in which they want to monitor. Large systems must provide their own sampling lots and collect their own samples and have them analyzed by an approved lab of their choosing. Their Iab will enter the results into EPA's electronic data reporting • system (laiown as SDWARS and still under development), but the utility will have the opportunity to review data and the responsibility to approve the results through the same data reporting system. Index Systems -The term "Index Systems" applies to the 30 randomly selected small systems that will be monitored over afive-year period for a wide range of parameters. These systems were selected randomly from the systems in State Monitoring Plans (SMPs). The purpose of this sampling program is to study the effect of temporal variation on contaminant occurrence and to provide additional information on small systems which can then be used to "tailor future regulations to small systems: ' EPA will pay for Index System monitoring (sampling equipment, slipment of samples, analysis, and data entry). In addition, a field technician will be available to each Index System to collect the samples. Additional system information will be collected initially "to characterize the environmental setting affecting the system." Systems selected as Index Systems will receive further guidance from EPA in the weeks to come. Data Elements -The 16 data elements which are to be reported include: 1. PWSID Nnmber - 2 character postal State code (e.g., FL for Florida) followed by 7-digit number 2. Sampling Point IDNumber - 3 part alphanumeric designation consisting of. the PWS Facility ID Number, the Sampling Point ID Number, and the Sampling Point Type ID. An example would be: 00105-00105E-SS 3 Sample Collection Date -date sample is collected in the format yyyymmdd 4 Sample IDNumber - up to 15 alphanumeric characters assigned by the lab to identify water samples collected at the same time and location • 5. Contaminant/Parameter -the name of the UCMR contaminant/water quality parameter for which the sample is being analyzed (e g., MTBE) 6. Analytical Results -Sign -alphanumeric value of < (less than) or = (equal to) 7. Analytical Result -Value -actual numeric value of the analysis, or the MRL (min. reporting level) 8. Analytical Result - Unit of Measure -unit of measurement such as micrograms per liter (µ~-) 9. Analytical Method Number - ID number of analytical method such as, EPA 502.2 10. Sample Analysis Type -type of sample collected (one of 4 types: RFS (raw field sample), RDS (raw duplicate field sample), TFS (treated field sample), TDS (treated duplicate field sample) •srv 7c 11 Sample Batch IDNumber - 3 part number consists of up to: 10 character Iab ID code assigned by EPA, 15 character batch (extraction or analysis) code assigned by lab, date (yyyymmdd format) batch was extracted or analyzed 12 Minimum Reporting Level (MRL) -lowest concentration of an analyte that may be reported 13. MRL Unit of Measure -unit of measure such as micrograms per titer (µg/L) 14 Analytical Precision -degree of agreement between two repeated measurements. For the UCMR it is defined as the relative percent difference (RPD) between spiked matrix duplicates 15 Analytical Accuracy -describes how close a result is to the true value measured through the use of spiked field samples 16 Spiking Concentration -concentration of method analytes added to a sample for the purpose of calculating analytical precision and accuracy Monitoring Frequency -The monitoring frequency for Assessment Monitoring varies • from 4 times per year for surface water systems to Lust two times per year for groundwater systems Sounds simple doesn't its Au contratre One of the sampling times for surface water systems must fall between May 1" and July 31~ (the so-called vulnerable period) while the other three sampling times must occur in the same relative month in each of the other quarters. For example, if you sample the vulnerable period in June, the other sampling must be done in March, September, and December (three months before and three and six months after the vulnerable period sampling). For ground water, sample during one month of the vulnerable time (May 1~ through July 31") and during one month five to seven months eazlier or later (e.g., if you plan to sample in June 2001, collect the other sample in • either January 2001 or November 2001, December 2001, or January 2002). Now I'm confused. Good luck. Small System Screening Survey -EPA divided the list of contaminants that systems must monitor for into 3 separate lists based on the availability of analytical methods. 'We have ah-eady discussed Assessment Monitoring, the List 1 contaminants. The Screening Survey or List 2 contaminants, consists of 13 chemical contaminants for which analytical methods will be available by the start of monitoring in 2001. Of the 800 randomly selected small systems, 180 small systems were randomly selected to begin monitoring for List 2 contaminants in 2001. (The 120 randomly selected large systems do not begin monitoring for List 2 chemical contaminants until January 2002.) A second Screening Survey for the List 2 microbiological contaminant, Aeromonas, will be performed by 180 other small systems in 2003. List 2 monitoring for small systems is scheduled in 2001 to run concurrently with with List 1(Assessment Monitoring) contaminant monitoring. Small system monitoring for List 2 contaminants is taking place before the large systems monitor for these contaminants because EPA is paying for the small system monitoring and hopes to gain some additional experience with the methods before the Iazge systems (which must pay for their own monitoring costs) start their monitoring in 2002. Data Reporting -Analytical data from the UCMR monitoring will be entered into a web based data entry system known as SDWARS (for Safe Drinking Water Aquisiaon and Reporting System). This database system is currently under development and it is anticipated that it will be ready to accept data in June 2001. In the interim, it will be necessary for large systems and laboratories to participate in a registration process. Letters will be mailed to these systems and labs in January (or early • February) 2001 announcing the start of registration and explaining the procedures to be followed. The registration process will probably (the details are still being worked out) involve submitting a list (on your "Official" letterhead) of potential users that will need access to the system for data entry and/or data review/approval. In turn, a letter will be sent to each potential user with detailed instructions on how to access the system along with a user ID and a temporary password You will then be able to logon to the system (set-up a password of your choosing) and register for the purpose of entering and/or reviewing/approving UCMR data More on the development of this system in the next UCMR Update. Perchlorate Labs Approved -Just over loo~abeFatories have been approved to conduct perchlorate analysis in support of List 1, Assessment Monitoring. These laboratories have successfully completed and passed either the Spring or the FaII 2000 Perchlorate Performance Testing (PT) Study. At the time of these studies, these laboratories were certified by a State or primacy agency to conduct compliance monitoring for at least one inorganic parameter using an approved ion chromatographic method For a complete listing of these approved Labs go to the EPA website at htty //www eoa sov/safewater/standard/ucmr/anrvlabs html Additional Information for Systems? -Recently, many States have been contacted by their systems seeking more information about the UCMR Help is on the way! Two new guidance documents are about to be released by EPA One, titled Unregulated Contaminant Monctoring Regulations Gucdance for Operators of Pubkc Water Systems Serving 10,000 or Fewer People (whew, that's a mouthful) EPA # 815-R-00-018, should help answer some of those nagging questions about the how, what, when, where of UCMR Assessment Monitoring It is currently on the safewater web site in draft form, but will be published soon and available through the Water Resources Center Another • guidance document with a similar "catchy" title, Unregulated Contaminant Monctortng Regulation Guidance for Operators of Public Water Systems Serving More Than 10,000 Persons, EPA # 815-R-00- ' O1? is not yet ready, but should be soon. Another document (UCMR: Interim Update on Reoortins) is being developed primarily for Iarge systems and their laboratories that will provide an informational update on data reporting under the UCMR Fact sheets are also being developed for both the Iarge and • small systems and may be included in the mailing explaining the registration process for the data system 1st Z Rule Final -The final rule for List 2 was proposed in the September 13, 2000 Federal Register starting on page 55362 (65 FR 55362) and was signed by the EPA Administrator on December 18 authonzing the Rule as Final and its publication ui the Federal Register. It may not be published in the Federal Register until January 2001; in the interim, a prepublication version is available on the web at http://www epa.gov/safewater/standard/ ucmr/prepubfinal_ucmr hst2 pdf . The September 1999 UCMR included 3 Lists of contaminants to be monitored. List 1 for contaminants with approved analytical methods, List 2 for contaminants with methods being refined, and List 3 for contaminants with methods being developed m research. This latest rile fmalizes analytical methods for 13 (of the onginal 16) List 2 chemical contaminants and the monitoring schedule for the microbiological contaminant, Aeromonas (2003 - if the analytical method is promulgated in 2001). The rule also finalizes minor changes to the September 1999 UCMR that affect the _ implementation of monitoring for both List 1 and List 2 contaminants.
