This webpage includes:  \n1. The Site Plan Template.  \n2. An instructional guideline factsheet on how to use the Site Plan Template.  \n3. The record of participation form to record the resident/owner doesn’t want to participate in the sample collection.  \n4. Information on how to submit the completed Site Plan Template.  \n5. Video webinar on how to use the Site Plan Template.  \nCan we use sites that were used in previous sampling periods to complete the site plan template?  \nYes, you may be able to use some of your previous sample sites for sampling as long as these sites are your highest priority sites. You would still need to confirm all the information about the sites in the Site Plan Template to determine the tier number. Your system must attempt to get samples collected from the highest priority sites available in the distribution for compliance sampling.  \nYou are only allowed to move to the next tier (lower priority) when there are not enough higher priority (lower number) sites to get all the required samples collected (Figure 1) . For example, you can only look to Tier 2 sample sites when you have used all the available Tier 1 sample sites. It is important to note there even is a priority within some of the tiers, see image below that may assist in identifying appropriate site priority. Your historical sites may not be the highest priority sites available to your system for sample collection. Follow the flow chart on SHEET-2 of the Site Plan Template to identify the highest priority sites that should be used for sampling, then locate those sites in your system for site approval. Obtain MDH approval and then proceed to sampling.  \nLCR Tier flow chart  \nFigure 1 | Tier priority flowsheet. The diagram illustrates the hierarchy of site selection, organized into four priority tiers, with \"Tier 1\" being the highest and \"Tier 4\" the lowest. Within each tier, sites are further prioritized numerically as 1, 2, 3, and so forth. Selection should commence from the highest priority site in Tier 1 and proceed sequentially to the lower priority sites in subsequent tiers.  \nThe instructions state that sites with point-of-use/ point-of-entry (POU/POE) devices (such as softeners) are not allowed. What if majority of our sites have those devices installed?  \nResponse: You may only collect from sites with POU/POE if all sites in your distribution are softened/filtered or if you have exhausted all non-softened/filtered sites. Additionally, if nonsoftened sites become available, you must attempt to sample these sites. If all the sites you’ve used previously have softeners, we recommend investigating other sites in the distribution to see if there are any homes that would be without treatment and a higher priority for sample collection. Ultimately, your system needs to document that there aren’t any untreated homes available or willing to participate in sample collection for samples from treated homes to be valid.  \nIf we know that all sites have lead service lines (LSL), do we still need to complete inspections or have conversations with the resident home to confirm the site information?  \nResponse: Yes, it must be confirmed if the site has a POU/POE installed to determine the Tier. At this time the internal plumbing can be determined as well. When LSLs are present, the internal plumbing could be listed as “Other” as it wouldn’t affect the tier. However, if or when the LSL is replaced the internal plumbing will be needed to confirm the tier number.
