6 Stage 1 DBPR Purpose and Scope Purpose: Increase public protection from disinfection by products (DBPs) by reducing the exposure to TTHMs, HAA5, bromate, and chlorite. Scope: Applies to all public water systems that add a chemical disinfectant Except for transient systems that add a disinfectant other than chlorine dioxide Addresses both acute and non-acute health effects

20 TOC Removal Overview New treatment technique regulations for Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Based on source water characteristics, systems must remove specified quantities of TOC. Systems can comply through TOC removal or through alternative compliance criteria. Overview
21
21 Monitoring Plans Each system must develop and implement a monitoring plan Plan must include: Sample location and schedules Representative of entire distribution system Compliance calculation methodology Plans must have been available for state inspection by January 2004. Subpart H systems serving > 3,300 must have submitted monitoring plans to the state by April 2004 Overview
22
22 Analytical Methods Stage 1 DBPR specifies analytical methods for each standard Only certified labs can analyze MCL samples Exception: daily chlorite samples For daily chlorite, disinfectants, and all other non- MCL parameters (e.g., alkalinity, TOC, bromide), analysis may be conducted by a party approved by U.S. EPA or the state Overview
23
23 The requirements that apply to each system depend on the system’s treatment process and type of water source. Applicability to Systems This presentation covers: TTHM, HAA5, chlorine, and chloramines Some compliance options for TOC Removal This training does not focus on: Requirements for systems disinfecting with ozone or chlorine dioxide Overview

38
38 Quiz #1: PWS Takes 1 Routine TCR Sample/Month One routine TCR sample Adds chlorine for disinfection Ground water system What does this system need to do to comply with the Stage 1 DBPR chlorine monitoring requirements? System needs to take 1 chlorine sample at the same time and place as the TCR sample Monitoring

41 Quiz #3: PWS on Routine TTHM & HAA5 Sampling RAAs TTHM = 0.035 mg/L HAA5 = 0.020 mg/L GWUDI system serving 9,000 persons What does this system need to do to comply with the Stage 1 DBPR TTHM and HAA5 monitoring requirement? Monitoring
42
42 Quiz #3: PWS on Routine TTHM & HAA5 Sampling RAAs TTHM = 0.035 mg/L HAA5 = 0.020 mg/L GWUDI system serving 9,000 persons What does this system need to do to comply with the Stage 1 DBPR TTHM and HAA5 monitoring requirement? If the system stays on routine monitoring it must take 1 sample per plant per quarter. Because the system’s RAA are < 0.040 mg/L for TTHMs and < 0.030 mg/L for HAA5, the system may qualify for reduced monitoring of one sample a year during the month of warmest water temperature. They would need to consult with their state. Monitoring

83 Alternative Compliance Criteria 1.RAA of monthly source water TOC samples < 2.0 mg/L 2.RAA of monthly treated water TOC samples < 2.0 mg/L 3.RAA of source water TOC 60 mg/L, and either: TTHM RAA < 0.040 mg/L and HAA5 RAA < 0.030 mg/L OR System has made a “clear and irrevocable commitment” to installing technology to limit TTHM & HAA5 to those levels 4.TTHM RAA < 0.040 mg/L and HAA5 RAA < 0.030 mg/L, and system uses only chlorine for primary disinfection and maintenance of a residual DBP Precursors (DBPP)
84
84 Alternative Compliance Criteria 5.RAA of SUVA prior to any treatment < 2.0 L/mg-m 6.RAA of treated water SUVA < 2.0 L/mg-m 7.Softening that results in a RAA of treated water alkalinity < 60 mg/L (as calcium carbonate) 8.Softening that results in a RAA for the removal of magnesium hardness (as calcium carbonate) of at least 10 mg/L DBP Precursors (DBPP) Apply only to softening systems:
85
85 Step 2 TOC Removal If a system cannot meet Step 1 removal levels or an alternative compliance criteria, the state can set an alternate minimum TOC removal level (Step 2 removal level) Compliance calculations are the same, except that systems would use the alternate minimum required removal percentage to calculate their removal ratio DBP Precursors (DBPP)
86
86 Step 2 TOC Removal: Determining alternate minimum TOC removal Provide data to the state as evidence that the system cannot meet the requirements of Step 1 TOC removal Include the results of bench or pilot testing Perform Jar Testing: add 10 mg/L increments of alum Continue adding alum until pH Step 2 target pH Add coagulant until TOC removal 0.3 mg/L for an incremental addition of 10 mg/L of alum or ferric salt at the target pH level The percentage of TOC removed at this level will become your “TOC removal vs. coagulant dose” and the system’s minimum TOC removal requirement. The state will determine an alternate removal level DBP Precursors (DBPP)
87
87 Step 1 & 2: Compliance Reporting Reports must be submitted quarterly: The number of paired (source water and treated water) samples collected during the last quarter The location, date, and results of each paired sample and associated alkalinity taken during the last quarter For each month in the reporting period, the arithmetic average of the percent reduction of TOC for each paired sample and the required TOC percent removal Calculations for determining compliance with the TOC percent removal requirements Whether the system is in compliance with the enhanced coagulation or enhanced softening percent removal requirements for the last four quarters DBP Precursors (DBPP)
88
88 PN Rule Requirements A system is out of compliance if it does not comply with the Step 1 or Step 2 removal requirements and fails to meet an alternative compliance criterion Notify customers within 30 days Send a copy of PN to the state within 10 days of notifying customers If a system commits a monitoring violation, it must inform the state and its customers Tier 2: Notify the state within 48 hours of the violation!

131
Poll: Does the system need to perform public notification? [PlaceWare Multiple Choice Poll. Use PlaceWare > Edit Slide Properties... to edit.] Yes No
132
132 Answer Does the system need to perform public notification? No. Because the example assumed that the system had the same alkalinity and TOC numbers each month Therefore the removal ratio would be the same for each month. The removal ratio is 1.39 for the year which is greater than 1.00 so the system is in compliance. Case Studies SW System, serving 550. System has two conventional filtration plants
