SWTRs

SWTRs Training encompasses requirements of the following regulations:

• Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR)

• Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (IESWTR)

• Long Term Enhanced 1 Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT1ESWTR)

• Filter Backwash Recycling Rule (FBRR)

SWTRs Purpose

Purpose: To improve public health protection through the control of microbial contaminants, including requirements for removal and/or inactivation of:

• Viruses

• Giardia Lamblia

• Cryptosporidium

Page 10: 1 If you do not have a copy of the SWTRs handouts, a copy can be downloaded from the Encounter Collaborative meeting page: .

10

SWTRs Scope

Scope:

• Applies to all public water systems using surface water or ground water under the direct influence of surface water (GWUDI), otherwise known as “Subpart H systems.”

Require all Subpart H systems to:• Disinfect

• Filter

• Individual filter monitoring & establishes CFE limits

• Apply treatment technique requirements for control of microbials.

Exception – Systems meeting Filter Avoidance Criteria only need to disinfect

• Changes to the disinfection process

• Any other modification identified by the state.

EPA Sets Guidelines

The purpose of developing the disinfection profile and benchmark is to provide a basis for the water system and the state primacy agency to work together to assure that any changes in disinfection practices to meet new disinfection byproduct MCLs will not result in a significant reduction in the microbial protection provided by the system.

Page 69: 1 If you do not have a copy of the SWTRs handouts, a copy can be downloaded from the Encounter Collaborative meeting page: .

69

EPA Sets Guidelines

In order to determine if profiling was necessary, water utilities were to conduct four quarters of "Applicability Monitoring" for TTHMs and HAAs. If the TTHM or HAA annual averages from the applicability monitoring exceeded 64 ppb or 48 ppb, respectively, the water system needed to prepare a disinfection profile.

Crypto & Giardia Removal All surface water systems that serve more than l0,000

people and are required to filter must achieve at least:

• 2 log removal of Cryptosporidium or 99% removal based on treatment technique

• 3 log removal of Giardia lamblia or 99.9% removal/inactivation based on treatment technique.

• 4 log removal of viruses or 99.99% removal/inactivation based on treatment technique.

Timeline of Problems

January 2002 - TTHM & HAA MCL reduced from 100ppb -80ppb respectively to 80-60 ppb.

November 2002 - Manganese violation (0.05 mg/L) December 2002 - Exceeding TTHMs MCL and

difficulty meeting TOC removal December 2002 - Inverted application of Chlorine

from heavy Pre-CL 2 in Rapid Mix and low concentration in clearwell to low Pre-CL 2 in Rapid Mix and higher concentration in clearwell.

Timeline: Action Steps taken to Obviate the Situation January 2003 - Switched coagulant from Aluminum

Sulfate to Ferric Chloride to assist in TOC removal and reduce TTHMs.

October 2003 - Moved CL2 application point from rapid mix to pre-filter area after sedimentation basins.

January 2004 - Switched from Gaseous Chlorine to Sodium Hypochlorite

January 2004—Switch to NaOCL

Sodium hypochlorite, (NaOCl) offers an excellent alternative approach to disinfection. The active ingredient is the hypochlorite ion OCl—, which hydrolyzes to form hypochlorous acid (HOCl).

Page 77: 1 If you do not have a copy of the SWTRs handouts, a copy can be downloaded from the Encounter Collaborative meeting page: .

77

January 2004—Switch to NaOCL Often called liquid bleach, is considered to be the

second cheapest disinfectant after bulk liquid chlorine gas. Commercially available as a 12.5 percent solution, it offers most of the advantages of chlorine gas–as a disinfectant, oxidizing agent and residual disinfectant, yet it does not have transportation or storage hazards to the extent present with chlorine gas.

Impetus driven by Vulnerability Assessment & reduction of potential hazard in area of high development.

LT2ESWTR Preview Objective: Risk-based targeting approach to reduce exposure

to Cryptosporidium in public water systems.

• Target filtered systems with high source water Cryptosporidium levels where 99% (2-log) removal is not sufficient treatment

• Target all unfiltered systems, which currently provide no treatment

Components of LT2ESWTR:

• Filtered systems assigned to different “risk bins” based on results of source water Cryptosporidium monitoring

Additional Cryptosporidium treatment based on bin classification “Microbial Toolbox” of options – flexibility in meeting

additional treatment requirements

146

LT2ESWTR Preview

Additional LT2ESWTR requirements:

• Specific requirements for uncovered finished water reservoirs and unfiltered systems.

• Second round of monitoring 6 years following initial bin assignment.

• Disinfection profiling and benchmarking.
