GWR: Things to consider?
Joaquin Montes TCEQ
![Page 2: GWR: Things to consider? - TCEQ - · 2009. 12. 1. · GWR: Things to consider? Joaquin Montes TCEQ . Preparation & Cost • Multiple GW sources? • Hydrogeology? • Sample history?](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051902/5ff125ddb24e59030c7b4d3a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Preparation & Cost
• Multiple GW sources? • Hydrogeology? • Sample history? • Do I have 4 log treatment already? • Treatment monitoring costs? • Do I need a consultant or is collecting
a source sample(s) more affordable?

Options?
• What is my sample history?
• Should I do a Triggered source monitoring plan (TSMP)?
• Should I claim 4 log treatment of viruses?

Sample History
• Got distribution positives? • Do you already have to collect source
samples? • How is your PWS’s infrastructure? • Do you have a maintenance and
upkeep log?

TSMP considerations
• Well is in a HGSA • Multiple GW wells • Use chloramines • Not enough storage
![Page 6: GWR: Things to consider? - TCEQ - · 2009. 12. 1. · GWR: Things to consider? Joaquin Montes TCEQ . Preparation & Cost • Multiple GW sources? • Hydrogeology? • Sample history?](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051902/5ff125ddb24e59030c7b4d3a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
4-log (99.99%) treatment
• I use free chlorine • I have the TCEQ MSR calculator form
and can obtain the required residual • I can handle the compliance monitoring • I can handle the reporting requirements • I know the worst case scenario is a
treatment technique violation

4-log Requirements for Existing Sources
• Source Monitoring is not required, If PWS: – Notifies TCEQ of 4-log treatment before
Dec 1, 2009 – Provides engineering / operational
information to State for evaluation – Monitors effectiveness / reliability of
treatment
![Page 8: GWR: Things to consider? - TCEQ - · 2009. 12. 1. · GWR: Things to consider? Joaquin Montes TCEQ . Preparation & Cost • Multiple GW sources? • Hydrogeology? • Sample history?](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051902/5ff125ddb24e59030c7b4d3a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
4-log Requirements for New Sources
• Source monitoring is not required, if PWS: – Notifies TCEQ of 4-log treatment – Provides engineering / operational
information to TCEQ for evaluation – Monitors effectiveness / reliability of
treatment within 30 days of placing source in service
![Page 9: GWR: Things to consider? - TCEQ - · 2009. 12. 1. · GWR: Things to consider? Joaquin Montes TCEQ . Preparation & Cost • Multiple GW sources? • Hydrogeology? • Sample history?](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051902/5ff125ddb24e59030c7b4d3a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Compliance Monitoring Chemical Disinfection
• PWS with population > 3,300 – Must continuously monitor disinfectant – Must maintain TCEQ-specified residual
• PWS with population < 3,300 – Must monitor disinfectant daily – Must maintain TCEQ-specified residual

Reporting for PWS
• Must notify TCEQ if fails to meet 4-log treatment of viruses by next day
![Page 11: GWR: Things to consider? - TCEQ - · 2009. 12. 1. · GWR: Things to consider? Joaquin Montes TCEQ . Preparation & Cost • Multiple GW sources? • Hydrogeology? • Sample history?](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051902/5ff125ddb24e59030c7b4d3a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Treatment Technique Violations
• Fails to maintain 4-log treatment of viruses
![Page 12: GWR: Things to consider? - TCEQ - · 2009. 12. 1. · GWR: Things to consider? Joaquin Montes TCEQ . Preparation & Cost • Multiple GW sources? • Hydrogeology? • Sample history?](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051902/5ff125ddb24e59030c7b4d3a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
30 Day PN Required
• When a GW PWS fails to: – Maintain 4-log treatment of viruses
![Page 13: GWR: Things to consider? - TCEQ - · 2009. 12. 1. · GWR: Things to consider? Joaquin Montes TCEQ . Preparation & Cost • Multiple GW sources? • Hydrogeology? • Sample history?](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051902/5ff125ddb24e59030c7b4d3a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
90 Day PN Required
• When a GW PWS fails to: – Conduct monitoring to demonstrate
compliance with 4-log treatment requirement
![Page 14: GWR: Things to consider? - TCEQ - · 2009. 12. 1. · GWR: Things to consider? Joaquin Montes TCEQ . Preparation & Cost • Multiple GW sources? • Hydrogeology? • Sample history?](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051902/5ff125ddb24e59030c7b4d3a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Recordkeeping for PWS
• Records of TCEQ-specified minimum residual disinfectant concentration
• Records of lowest daily residual with date and duration of failure to meet specified minimum
• Records of compliance for membrane filtration
• Public Notice documentation
