1. D ) with an onsite visit to work and communicate with water systems in a preventative mode.

Per FDEP’s Sanitary Survey Program website, “Sanitary survey means an onsite review of the water source, facilities, equipment, operation, and maintenance of a public water system to evaluate the adequacy of such source, facilities, equipment, operation, and maintenance for producing and distributing safe drinking water. . . Sanitary surveys are an opportunity to work and communicate with water systems in a preventative mode.”

2. C) every three years.

Per EPA’s website, Sanitary Surveys, “Frequency Requirements: • Community Water System (CWS) Every Three Years • Noncommunity Water System (NCWS) - Every Five Years • CWS with outstanding performance based on prior sanitary surveys Every Five Years.”

3. C) Eight

Per FDEP’s Sanitary Survey Program website, “The eight elements of a sanitary survey are: 1. Operator compliance with regulations 2. Source protection, physical components and condition 3. Treatment 4. Finished water storage 5. Distribution 6. Pumps/pump facility and controls 7. Monitoring, reporting and data verification 8. Water system management and operations.”

4. B) ensures water systems have qualified professionals that meet all applicable operator certification requirements. Per EPA’s Sanitary Surveys website, “Operator Compliance - Ensures water systems have qualified professionals that meet all applicable operator certification requirements.”

5. B) multiple-barrier approach.

Per EPA’s guide, “How to Conduct a Sanitary Survey of Drinking Water Systems,” in the introduction, “The Multiple-Barrier Approach - The elements of the sanitary survey address multiple barriers that work together to prevent drinking water contamination. If one of these barriers were to fail, as long as other barriers are still in place, the public water supply and public

health remain protected. Understanding this concept is vital, as a water system can be producing safe drinking water and still have one or more deficiencies that need to be corrected. It is important, however, for water systems to strive to have multiple barriers reliably in place to keep contaminants from reaching the public.”

6. D) significant deficiencies.

Per EPA’s guide, “How to Conduct a Sanitary Survey of Drinking Water Systems,” in the introduction, “Significant deficiencies are serious sanitary deficiencies identified in water systems that include, but are not limited to, defects in design, operation, or maintenance, or a failure or malfunction of the sources, treatment, storage, or distribution system that the primacy agency determines to be causing, or has potential to cause, the introduction of contamination into the water delivered to consumers.”

7. B) Microbiological sampling plan

Per FAC 62-550.518(1), Microbiological Monitoring Requirements, “Public water systems shall collect total coliform samples at sites that are representative of water throughout the distribution system and in accordance with a written sampling plan that addresses location, timing, frequency, and rotation period. These plans shall be available for review and possible revision on the occasion of a sanitary survey conducted by the department.”

8. A ) Lack of #24 mesh screen on the air vent.

Per EPA Region 8 presentation on significant deficiencies, “Storage Tank Significant Deficiencies – Lack of #24 mesh screen on the air vent.”

9. C ) Lack of an emergency response plan.

Per EPA Region 8 presentation on sanitary surveys and significant deficiencies, “Examples of Management Significant Deficiencies – Lack of an Emergency Response Plan.”

10. D) 12 years

Per EPA’s guide, “How to Conduct a Sanitary Survey of Drinking Water Systems,” Section 1.8 State Recordkeeping, Sanitary survey reports must be kept on file by the state for at least 12 years (40 CFR 142.14(d)(1)).”
