3 California Water Recycling Criteria -Title 22 Water - Application to food crops Application to food crops - minimum of secondary treatment + disinfection Irrigation water in contact w/ edible portion Irrigation water in contact w/ edible portion secondary + chemical coagulation + filtration disinfection (“disinfected tertiary recycled water”) Effluent discharged to streams to be pumped out downstream for irrigation purposes Effluent discharged to streams to be pumped out downstream for irrigation purposes secondary treatment secondary treatment===================================== Recharge groundwater to prevent saltwater intrusion - Lime/RO or MF/RO treatment Recharge groundwater to prevent saltwater intrusion - Lime/RO or MF/RO treatment

4 Wastewater Contains Chemicals 1. Inorganic chemicals and NOM found naturally in drinking water. 2. Inorganics & organics from industrial, commercial and other human activities - Target and Non-Target Compounds 3. Chemicals added or byproducts of water and wastewater treatment ============================================================== Measure Target Compounds -HOWEVER - There is a health risk from unidentified chemical(s) at ng to pg/L levels - Non-Target Compounds

5 Objectives Confirm and quantify (19) - PhACs, PCPs, human and synthetic hormones, antioxidants, plasticizers Confirm and quantify (19) target compounds - PhACs, PCPs, human and synthetic hormones, antioxidants, plasticizers Tentative identification of (35) - MS library search - Tentative identification of (35) non-target compounds - MS library search - Evaluate the effects of different water reuse treatment processes on their removal Evaluate the effects of different water reuse treatment processes on their removal - Conventional treatment process (Title 22 water) - Conventional treatment process (Title 22 water) - Lime/RO (Barrier water) - Lime/RO (Barrier water) - MF/RO (Barrier water) - MF/RO (Barrier water) Compare reclaimed water to raw drinking water sources

20 Conclusions 1. STP>Title 22> L-RO> MF-RO ( No. and Conc.) 2.5 Comp’ds > 100 ng/L - 2.5 Comp’ds > 100 ng/L - BHA and BHT, NBBSA, Caffeine and Clofibric acid after Title 22 Treatment. 3.Best treatment alternative was MF/RO. 35% of Target and 15% of non-target compounds are present at > DL for RO and MF/RO treatment. 4. Antioxidants BHA and BHT, plasticizers as NBBSA and Caffeine are observed after MF/RO. Remember BHA and BHT have been shown to leach from polyethylene pipe. 5.Sampling an actual treatment system for correct evaluation of a variable hourly, daily and seasonal influent and effluent and remains a problem.

21 Water Quality Assessment for Indirect Potable Reuse of Water In water reuse, the source is not “pollution free”. Monitoring for a few “target” compounds is meaningless. In water reuse, the source is not “pollution free”. Monitoring for a few “target” compounds is meaningless. Many other compounds are observed by GC or LC/MS and are ignored. “Non - target”compounds are significant. Many other compounds are observed by GC or LC/MS and are ignored. “Non - target”compounds are significant. Idea - Broad Spectrum Analysis and lowering the detection limit of trace organic compounds by large volume of water samples to ng/L to pg/L? level.

Mandate Unit Operations c. Access Treatment Reliability \ B. “Broad Spectrum Chemical Analyses” a. Analyze target and “non-target” compounds present a defined concentration level. Toxicologist- Help. a. Analyze target and “non-target” compounds present above a defined concentration level. Toxicologist- Help. C. “Develop NEW Health and Safety Tests” a. Specify Priority Hazards. e.g. EDCs b. Study Mixtures and Matrices for above.
