Assistance Type: VIOLATION RESPONSE
Reasons: VOCs
Disinfection Byproducts
 
Details: SUMMARY: Violations causes, tracer study delay DETAILS: The laboratory did not send in the VOC results, which were taken on-time and analyzed on-time. Sweet Home will submit these to DMCE and requests the violation be removed. DBP violation is due to DBP2 delay, for which Sweet Home has a letter from EPA allowing a 6-month extension on collection of data. Tracer study not yet conducted because filter run times have been shorter than expected, on the order of 10-12 hours. I told Tim that depending on the volume used for CT, a tracer study could acquire all the necessary data within that time window. Sweet Home should evaluate the expected 10% breakthrough time and if that fits within the filter run time, proceed with the tracer study. ACTION NEEDED: Contact DMCE about the violations for VOCs and DBPs.
