Can all the small systems selected in a State Monitoring Plan be sampled in the same year?
They should not be sampled in the same year. The basis for the national representative sample of small systems has specific scientific, technical, and practical underpinnings that are incorporated into its approach. The UCMR indicates that States may modify the State Monitoring Plan by changing the monitoring year and months. This was done, in part, to recognize the three-year compliance monitoring cycle used in most States.
