Details: | SUMMARY: Tracer study deemed optional for this system DETAILS: The first survey of this transient surface water system conducted by state DWP staff (12/2011) turned up the significant deficiency that there was no record of a tracer study to establish the disinfection contact time achieved by this system. The system had contacted HBH, Inc, the states circuit rider, to conduct the tracer study. In the meantime, a workgroup within DWP has been developing criteria that would no longer require small surface water systems to conduct a tracer study if they have abundant storage versus water demand rate (i.e., estimates and past records show that they have many times over the required contact time). In phone calls on 8/21/12, I informed Rob Henry of HBH and Dan Shewlakow at the Park that the OPRD Beverly Beach water system has enough storage that the tracer study is optional rather than required. I sent an email on 8/22/12 documenting this decision, giving comments on their recent monthly compliance reports (need to adjust the lowest effective operating volume in storage), and summarizing their water systems current status in regard to the significant deficiencies identified during the December 2011 survey. Only one deficiency has not been addressed yet - the user-friendly Operations and Maintenance manual. Dan informs me a new interpretive ranger will start at the park in early Sept and will pick up with this project. ACTION NEEDED: Find out whether the Park intends to pursue the optional tracer study or drop it. Review future monthly compliance reports. Set a timetable, and await completion of the O&M manual to correct the last identified significant deficiency. |
