Environmental Works, Inc. (EWI), on behalf of the Pemiscot
County Special School District
(Pemiscot Special), has prepared this Lead in Drinking Water
Sampling and Testing (LDWST)
Plan in response to the Missouri Revised Statutes of Missouri
(RSMo) Chapter 160 Section 077 (160.077). This LDWST
Plan includes procedures for inventorying and sampling outlets used for
drinking water and water dispensed for cooking and cleaning of eating and
cooking utensils in each of the school buildings.
This Plan has been prepared to meet
the requirements of the RSMo 160.077, the
Environmental
Protection Agency’s (EPA) 3Ts for Reducing Lead in Drinking
Water, and the EPA Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The Pemiscot County Special
School District has distributed this LDWST Plan to the public through their
website (www.pcssd.k12.mo.us). General information on the health effects of
lead contamination and additional informational resources for employees and
parents of children at each school will be provided upon request.
In accordance with RSMo 160.077, on or before January
1, 2024, each school will:
•
Conduct an inventory of all drinking water
outlets and all outlets that are used for dispensing water for consumption,
cooking, and cleaning of cooking and eating utensils;
•
Develop a Plan for testing each outlet
inventoried;
•
Provide the Plan to the public; and
•
Upon request, provide general information on the
health effects of lead contamination and additional informational resources for
employees and parents of children at each school.
Before August 1, 2024, or on the first day students will be present in the
building, whichever is later, each school will:
•
Complete sampling in accordance with RSMo 160.077,
•
Make all testing results and any lead
remediation plans available on the school's website within two weeks of
receiving final analytical test results, and
•
Remove and replace any drinking water coolers or
drinking water outlets that the EPA has determined are not lead-free under the
federal Lead Contamination Control Act of 1988.

The Pemiscot County R-III Special School District completed a
building and outlet questionnaire, and EWI completed a site visit to gather
information such as:
•
Date of building construction,
•
Year and location of plumbing repairs,
•
Location where water enters the building and
flow,
•
Identification of any known lead lines or
plumbing components,
•
Location of water pipes and piping
material,
•
Location of any tanks in the plumbing
system,
•
Identification of all faucets and fixtures used
for drinking water and cooking, and
•
Identification of filters, aerators, signs of
corrosion, or banned water cooler tanks.
Drinking water and cooking
outlets were identified from the questionnaire and site visit in accordance
with the Missouri RSMo’s 160.077.2 drinking water
outlet definition, which includes but may not be limited to:
a)
A water fountain, faucet, or tap that is used or
potentially used for drinking or food preparation and
b)
Ice-making and hot drink machines.
Building diagrams are attached in Appendix A, detailed information on each building can be found in Appendix B, and the outlets identified
in the inventory are outlined in Appendix
C.
The outlet inventory and prioritization schedule included in
this plan will be used to conduct sampling for the Pemiscot County R-III
Special School District. Samples will be collected using proper sampling
procedures. The sampler will utilize laboratory prepared 250-milliliter (mL)
unpreserved plastic containers to collect outlet water for analysis of lead by
Method 200.8. Samples will be labeled, managed under a Chain of Custody, and
sent to a certified laboratory for analysis. EWI personnel will collect samples
from each identified outlet based on the following criteria:
First Draw Sampling
First draw samples will be immediately collected from the
outlet from the first water after the outlet is turned on. Samples will be
collected after a stagnation period of at least 8 hours but no greater than 18
hours.
Flush Sampling
Follow-up flush samples will be collected from at least
25% of inventoried drinking water outlets.
All results will be summarized in a final report, submitted
to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, and published on the
Pemiscot County R-III Special School District website.
If initial testing finds lead above 5 ppb, the Pemiscot
County R-III Special School District will implement remedial measures, then
test and sample 25% of remediated drinking water outlets by first draw and
follow-up flush sampling annually.
If initial testing does not find a drinking water source with
a lead concentration above 5 ppb, the Pemiscot County R-III Special School
District will complete testing and sampling every five years.
