Park City Water System (UTAH#22011)
3 Kings Water Treatment Plant (TP015)
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received a request for a Conditional Operating Permit for the 3 Kings Water Treatment Plant (WTP) project from you on April 23, 2024. The
Division issued a Conditional Plan Approval on July 6, 2020, Unconditional Plan Approval on April 14, 2021,to include approval of the UV validation report, andan Amended Plan Approval
on June 30, 2021, to correct the source water facility names that the plant is treating. The3Kings WTP is identified as TP015 in the Division’s database.
Our understanding of the project is that the 3Kings WTP (TP015) will treat the Judge Tunnel (WS001)and Spiro Tunnel (WS006) for metals removal and surface water treatment. Thiriot Spring
(WS003) is combined to the filtered Judge and Spiro Tunnels flows ahead of UV and chlorine disinfection. The Park City Water System(the System) is required to treat Mine Impacted Water
(MIW) according to the City’s Amended Stipulated Compliance Order (ASCO) by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) to reduce metals in the locally impacted streams. The DWQ ASCO requires
the System treat to DWQ standards, which are lower than drinking water maximum contaminant levels (MCLs), for Antimony (found in the Judge Tunnel(WS001) and the Spiro Tunnel (WS006))
and Cadmium (Judge Tunnel(WS001)). Drinking water primary and secondary MCLs dictate the following metals removal: Arsenic (Spiro), Thallium (Spiro), lead (Spiro), and Zinc (Judge).
A full-scale pilot plant operated at the site from April 2016 until October 2016 to demonstrate proof of performance and validate the treatment technology effectiveness to treat mine
influenced water from the Judge and Spiro Tunnel (WS001 and WS006). The Division concurred with the Pilot Test Protocol on October 12, 2016. The System continued to operate the adsorption
testing on Spiro Water Treatment plantuntil the plant was demolished in late 2019.
The Division originally approved the 3Kings WTP (TP015) as a metals removal plant with an option for operating as a conventional surface water treatment plantin the event the Judge and
Spiro Tunnel groundwater sources (WS001 and WS006) were classified as under the direct influence (UDI) of surface water. The approval as a conventional surface water treatment plant
was based on piloting results for the pressurized Pyrolusite media filters with turbidity as the basis of the study. However, during a site visit conducted by the Division on February
15, 2022, concerns were brought up regarding the open basins throughout the treatment process inside the building and recycled flows. It was concluded that the treatment plant should
operate as a surface water treatment plant and comply with the monitoring and reporting requirements. It was also determined that the original piloting performed on the Pyrolusite media
filters did not comply with EPA’s requirements for demonstration of effective performance by alternative filtration.The Division requested additional testing, in the form of a Demonstration
of Performance (DOP) to determine the effectiveness of the alternative filtration technology.
On April 7, 2022, the Division sent an email regarding the intent to issue a Conditional Operating Permit for 3Kings WTP (TP015) to operate as a groundwaterUDI water treatment plant
and issue conditional log reduction value (LRV) credits while conducting a DOP. On June 21, 2023, the Division issued concurrence for the Revised Framework for DOPtesting. The DOP will
be conducted to determine the LRV credits assigned to the pretreatment and Pyrolusite filtration processes. Upon completion of the DOP, 3Kings WTP (TP015) will receive a final Operating
Permit.
On November 29, 2023, Division staff conducted an operating permit inspection and emphasized the need for Best Management Practices (BMPs) to protect the integrity of the water in the
open basins while under the Conditional Operating Permit period.
Project Design
The 3Kings WTP (TP015) provides a multiple barrier approach designed to treat mine impacted groundwater from Judge Tunnel (WS001) and Spiro Tunnel (WS006) through metals water treatment
technologyand to meet surface water treatment requirements.
The 3Kings WTP (TP015)consists of pre-oxidation, rapid mix, flocculation, and sedimentation at elevated pH for optimized metals removal, pressurized granular media filtration through
Pyrolusite (manganese dioxide)media, and post-filter titanium dioxide adsorption, pH adjustment for the distribution system, UV disinfection, and free chlorine contact time. Water from
the blended adsorber treated water may also be dechlorinated and discharged to the local stream system. The design also includes amicro hydro facility and raw water mix basin to allow
the System to have the ability tomanage the blending of flows from Judge Tunnel (WS001) and Spiro Tunnel(WS006).Thiriot Spring (WS003)is pumped from the existing springbox to tie into
the 3Kings WTP (TP015)downstream of adsorption for UV, chlorine disinfection, and pH adjustment before sending thecombined treated flow to the distribution system.Thiriot Spring (WS003)
is currently classified as agroundwatersource and the plant includes space for a future addition of pre and final cartridge filter units in the event the spring is classified as UDI
in the future.
The3Kings WTP (TP015) has a finished water capacity of 5,000 gallons per minute (gpm) or 7.2 million gallons per day (MGD) and a peak filtration rate of 5,507 gpm. The additional flow
over 5,000 gpm is required for backwash supply water. The design includes redundant trains for each treatment process. Thiriot Spring (WS003) has a yield of 1,500 gpm and is combined
with the 3Kings WTP (TP015) flows ahead of the UV and chlorine disinfection.The blended flows from the filters and Thiriot Spring (WS003) will not exceed 5,507 gpm and will vary in specific
source quantities set by the System based on operational strategies.
The combined flows are pumped from the 3Kings WTP (TP015) clearwell through the 3Kings WTP Finished Water Pump Facility (PF018). The Flowserve vertical turbine pumps deliver water from
the clearwell to the Thaynes Tanks (ST005 and ST006) and Boothill Tanks (ST004 and ST017) and consist of three (3), 100 HP, 2,250 gpm pumps going to the Boothill Tanks and three (3),
100 HP, 250 gpm pumps going to Thaynes Tanksthrough dedicated lines.

3 Kings Water Treatment Plant (TP015)Treatment Goals per Surface Water Treatment Rules
The 3 Kings Water Treatment Plant (WTP) (TP015)is analternative surface water treatment and metals removal plant. Treatment technologies consists of pre-oxidation, rapid mix, flocculation
and sedimentation at elevated pH for optimized metals removal, pressurized granular media filtration through Pyrolusite (manganese dioxide) media, and post-filter titanium dioxide adsorption,
pH adjustment for the distribution system, UV disinfection, and free chlorine contact time. This plant was designed to meet the requirements of the surface water treatment rules, as
incorporated into Utah’s Rules in R309. These surface water treatment rules require removal and/or inactivation, expressed in terms of log10 credit, of Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia,
and viruses through treatment techniques.
The Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR) requires:
3-log10 removal/inactivation for Giardia lamblia, and
4-log10 removal/inactivation for virus.
The Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR) established four bin classifications for Cryptosporidium based on concentration in the source water. If a water system
has source water classified in Bin 1, LT2ESWTR requires 2-log10 removal forCryptosporidium. If a water system has source water in Bin 2, Bin 3, or Bin 4, LT2ESWTR requires additional
treatment, disinfection or inactivation for Cryptosporidium, as outlined in EPA’s “Long Term 2 Enhance Surface Water Treatment Rule Toolbox Guidance Manual.”
Since all water sources being treated at TP015 are currently designated as groundwater sources, the monitoring requirements of the LT2ESWTR do not apply. If in the future any water source
being treated at TP015 is designated as being groundwater under direct influence of surface water (GUDI), the monitoring required in the LT2ESWTR must be completed.
In the event additional log removal credit is needed for a higher Bin classification, additional treatment will need to be installed. New Plan Approval would be required for any additional
treatment.Compliance StrategyPrimary Filtration
3Kings WTP (TP015) will operate pressurized granular media filtration through Pyrolusite media with a maximum filtration rate of 5,507 gpm (6 of 8 filters online)and a hydraulic loading
rate between 5.21 to 9.66 gpm/sf, per approved exception (File #12020).Upon completion of the Demonstration of Performance (DOP), the Division will determine if the Pyrolusite media
can be approved as an alternative filtration method and the final log removal value (LRV) credits granted.The Division temporarily approvesthe pressurized Pyrolusite media filtration
for primary filtration under the surface water treatment rules. The Division temporarily grants2.0-log10 credit for Giardia lamblia removal,1.5-log10 credit for Cryptosporidium removaland
1.5-log10 credit for virus inactivationfor the compliance filter. Best Management Practices will be implemented to protect the integrity of the groundwater sources throughout the treatment
process while the DOP is being performed to determine the LRV credits granted to the alternative filtration process.
Per R309-200-5(a)(ii) and R309-530-9, the turbidity performance standard for this treatment plant is that the turbidity shall be less than 0.3 NTU 95% of the time and shall not exceed
1.0 NTU.
Disinfection
Two disinfection processeswill be installed following the granular media filters to provide additionaltreatment to meet surface water treatment disinfection requirements:
Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection(Trojan UV Swift Model 2L12) UV reactor manufactured by Trojan installed immediately following the metals adsorption filter.
The System provided the goals of the UV process as part of a comprehensive disinfection strategy including target pathogens, target log inactivation and corresponding required UV does
that is required.
This UV reactor was validated by Harold Write, P.E., with Carollo Engineers, in the validation report dated March 7, 2008.
The Division concurs with this validation report. Per R309-520-8(3), the Division accepts the calculated dose (or single set point) UV dose approach proposed by Trojan UV Swift. 1.0-log10Giardia
lamblia and 0.5-log inactivation for Cryptosporidiumwith a validated UV dose of 2.1mJ/cm2 per Table 1.4 in the UVDGM) through the 3Kings WTP (TP015). UV reactors can treat up to 6.4
MGD per reactor, to achieve a design minimum UVT of 95% with turbidity less than 0.3 NTU more than 95% of the time and always less than 0.1 NTU.Three reactors are installed (two duty,
one standby).Post chlorination at free chlorine residual of 1.00 ppm will be provided for additional disinfection following the UV treatment. The 3Kings WTP (TP015) will provide disinfection
through onsitesodium hypochlorite generation. Free chlorine inactivation through a clearwell will provide the remaining required 2.5 log10 virus inactivation credit.Jacobs completed
a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model of the clearwell inlet hydraulics and efficiency of the clearwell design configuration and determined the following:A baffle factor of 0.59A
T10, or time for the outlet concentration to reach 10 percent of the inlet tracer concentration, of 8.01 minutes.Worst case: flow rate 5,507 gpm (7.93 MGD), pH of 8, clearwell depth
of 15 feet and volume of 74,786 gallons, temperature of 4 °C, and residual of 1 mg/L.The CT required to achieve 2.5 log10 virus inactivation credit at a pH of 8.0 and water temperature
of 4 °C is 5.56 mg-min/L. A chlorine residual of 1.00 mg/L at a flow rate of 5,507 gpm will result in an actual CT achieved of 8.01 mg-min/L and a CT ratio of 1.44.The Point of Entry
for the chlorination system is the exit weir of the clearwell.
All water sources being treated at TP015 are currently designated as groundwater sources, the monitoring requirements of the LT2ESWTR do not apply. If in the future, any water source
being treated at TP015 is designated as being groundwater under direct influence of surface water (GUDI), the monitoring required in the LT2ESWTR must be completed.
In the event additional log removal credit is needed for a higher Bin classification, additional treatment will need to be installed. New Plan Approval would be required for any additional
treatment.
Overall, the design of the 3Kings WTP (TP015) is anticipated to meet the required treatment for Cryptosporidium for surface water classified as in Bin 1 under R309-215-15 of Utah’s Rules.
The System will need to conduct Bin classification monitoring once the plant is in operation for determination of Surface Water Treatment. The processes of granular media filtration,
UV reactor, and the post-chlorination together will achieve the treatment goals of:
≥3.0-log removal/inactivation required for Giardia lamblia,
≥2-log removal/inactivation required forCryptosporidium (Bin 1 requirement), and,
≥4-log removal/inactivation for virus.ADDENDUM 3

Disinfection
The System is required to continuously disinfect the treated water from this WTP.
The disinfection treatment shall be sufficient to ensure the total treatment processes of this WTP achieve at least 3-log inactivation/removal of Giardia lamblia, 4-log inactivation/removal
virus, and a minimum of 2.0-log Cryptosporidium removal (for treating Bin 1 source water). [R309-200-5(7)(a)(i); R309-215-15(12)].
The calculated disinfection CT for all processes shall be reported monthly to indicate the level of disinfection effectiveness. [R309-215-15(19)]
Disinfection at Point of Entry (POE)[R309-200-5(7), R309-215-15(19)]
The System is required to continuously disinfect the treated water from this WTP. [R309-200-5(7)]
The chlorine residual must not be below 0.2 milligram per liter (mg/L) free chlorine residual at the point of entry (POE), where the treated water enters the distribution system, for
more than four hours. [R309-200-5(7)(a)(ii)]
The chlorine residual must not exceed the maximum residual disinfectant level (MRDL) of 4.0 mg/L free chlorine residual. [R309-200-5(3)(c)(iv) Table 200-5]
Lowest Daily POE chlorine residual readings shall be collected and recorded on the monthly report.
Systems serving a population greater than 3,300 shall continuously monitor chlorine residuals at the POE
The chlorine analyzer should be verified for accuracy or calibratedat least quarterlyper Standard Method 334.0 Determination of Residual Chlorine in Drinking Water Using an Online Chlorine
Analyzer. [EPA 815-B-09-013 September 2009 11.1.1.2 Page 13]
A Hach Pocket Colorimeter DPD colorimetric method (e.g. Method 8021) is an acceptable method for verifying on-line chlorine residual analyzers (e.g. for Hach Cl17 online analyzer). If
the verification fails, online analyzer adjustments will be made until the accuracy is achieved. A calibration will be conducted if verification testing cannot be accomplished successfully.
Turbidity Limit Issues
Filtration Technologies Other Than Conventional Filtration, Direct Filtration, Slow Sand Filtration, or Diatomaceous Earth Filtration [R309-200-5(5)(a)(ii); R309-215-9(1)]
The turbidity of the treated water or the combined filter effluent (CFE) shall be less than or equal to 0.3 NTU in at least 95% of the measurements taken each month. The treated water
or CFE turbidity shall at no time exceed 1.0 NTU.
Turbidity Monitoring and Reporting — General
The turbidity readings during the operation and maintenance procedures, such as plant start-up, clean in place, enhanced flux maintenance, air scrub, integrity tests, etc., can be excluded
from the report. Operational logs and/or SCADA shall reflect the conditions causing false turbidity readings.
If a data recording delay is programmed into SCADA after plant start-up, the delay shall not exceed 15 minutes and the System shall inform the Division of the programming details.
Signal averaging is not allowed.
The turbidity of the combined filter effluent (CFE) and each individual filter effluent (IFE) shall be continuously monitored. [See R309-215-9(1)(a) for CFE monitoring, and R309-525-15(4)(b)(vi)
and (4)(c)(vii) for IFE monitoring.]
The turbidity of the combined filter effluent (CFE) and each individual filter effluent (IFE) shall be continuously recorded. [R309-215-9(1)(b)]
The System shall monitor the turbidity results of each IFE at a frequency of no greater than every 15 minutes. [R309-215-9(1)(b)]
The highest CFE turbidity reading at the end of eachfour-hour (or shorter) interval of operation must be included in the monthly surface water treatment plant report submitted to the
Division, excluding data described in #5a. [R309-215-9(1)(b)] Data must be sufficient to determine the information outlined below. [R309-215-9(1)(b); R309-215-9(1)(c), R309-215-9(4)(a)
and R309-215-9(5)(a)]
Total number of the 4-hour combined filter effluent (CFE) turbidity measurements reported during the month (see #5e)
The number and percentage of 4-hour combined filter effluent (CFE) turbidity measurements reported during the month, which are less than or equal to 0.3 NTU, excluding data described
in #5a.
The date and value of any turbidity measurement taken during the month, which exceed 1.0NTU for a System using conventional or direct filtration.
If there is a failure in continuous monitoring equipment, the water system shall conduct grab sampling for turbidity every four hours. [R309-215-9(1)(b)]
The grab sampling, in lieu of continuous monitoring, cannot be more than five working days for water systems serving a population of 10,000 or more, following the failure of equipment.
The grab sampling, in lieu of continuous monitoring, cannot be more than fourteen days for water systems serving a population less than 10,000, following the failure of equipment.
If the set turbidity limit for the approved treatment technology is exceeded, the System must comply with the re-sampling and notification requirements. [R309-215-9(2)]
Re-sample as soon as practicable and preferably within one hour.
If re-sampling confirms the exceedance of the turbidity limit —
The System shall collect at least one bacteriological sample near the first service connection from the source within 24 hours of the turbidity exceedance. This sample result shall be
included in determining bacteriological compliance for that month.
The System shall report this turbidity re-sampling exceedance to the Director as soon as practical, but no later than 24 hours after the turbidity exceedance is known. This reporting
is in addition to reporting the incident on any monthly WTP reports.
The System using a filtration technology other than conventional filtration, direct filtration, slow sand filtration, or diatomaceous earth filtration shall inform the Division as soon
as possible, but no later than the end of the next business day if any time the combined filter effluent (CFE) turbidity in representative samples of filtered water exceeds the maximum
level set by the Director, i.e., 1.0 NTU for 3KWTP (TP015). [R309-215-9(6)(b)]
Turbidity Equipment Verification and Calibration
Continuous turbidity monitoring equipment for the combined filter effluent (CFE) and each individual filter effluent (IFE) shall be checked for accuracy and/or re-calibrated at a minimum
frequency ofmonthly. [R309-215-9(1)(d)]
The turbidimeter shall be calibrated andthe accuracy verified at least once per month.

It is not allowed to calibrate on-line instruments by comparison with a bench-top turbidimeter.
The most recent verification/calibration date for the CFE turbidimeter and each IFE turbidimeter shall be reported on the monthly report.
UV Monitoring and Reporting [R309-215-15(19)(d) and R309-520-8]
UV Reactor Monitoring Requirements:
To obtain disinfection credit of UV disinfection, the System shall monitor the parameters used as part of the dose monitoring algorithm continuously, i.e. at least once per minute. For
example, UV reactors validated using the Calculated Dose Approach must monitor the following parameters continuously for each UV reactor that is in use, including flow rate, UVT, UV
intensity sensor reading, lamp status, number of lamp rows on, calculated or validated dose, power ballast setting, and off-specification time.
Other parameters that are essential to operation and maintenance shall be monitored at the frequency recommended by the UV manufacturer or per EPA’s 2006 Final UVDGM. Examples of these
operational parameters:
Reactor status and run time.
Water temperature
Lamp hours
Lamp sleeve cleaning records
Cumulative number of the lamp on/off cycles
Calibration and verification of UV sensors
Calibration of online UVT analyzers
Date (or frequency) and type of maintenance/replacement of UV reactor components.
Additional UV Reporting Requirements:
Compliance reporting for approved UV disinfection credit shall be submitted to the State as a part of the surface water treatment rule compliance report on a monthly basis. The recording
frequency shall be at least every 4 hours. The minimum validated dose recording is the lowest validated dose reading within a period of 4 hours. The daily minimum validated dose is the
lowest value among the four-hour minimum values for each day.
As a minimum, the following parameters shall be included in the UV monthly compliance report:
Daily minimum and maximum flow rate.
Daily minimum UVT.
Daily minimum validated dose (This depends on the dose monitoring approach. Use UV intensity in case of UV Intensity Setpoint Approach).
Daily minimum ballast power setting.
Daily production volume for off-specification events.
Total production volume through UV system in a month.
Total production volume for off-specification events in a month.
Total off-specification percentage (based on monthly volume).
Target pathogen (Cryptosporidium, Giardia, and Virus).
Target log disinfection.
Actual log disinfection.
Date of monthly verification of duty UV sensor calibration and date of yearly calibration of the reference UV sensor.
Total number of UV sensors per reacto.
Number of UV sensors per reactor in service that were verified for calibration.
Number of verified sensors that were withing the acceptable range of toleranc.
Reactor number and UV intensity sensor correction factor (if any UV sensor does not meet the calibration criteria and remains in service in a particular reactor).
Date of the weekly calibration of online UVT analyzers.
Indications of whether the UV facility met the following criteria:
Total log disinfection greater than target log disinfection.
Flow rates less than the maximum validated flow rate.
At or above validated minimum UVT (if using the calculated does approach as monitoring strategy).
At or above validated power ballast minimum setting.
At or above the required does or UV intensity.
Within the 5% off specification limit of the total volume of treated water each month.
Off Specification Reporting. The requirements of off-specification reporting in this section are largely based on Section 6.4.1.3 of the 2006 Final UVDGM
The calculated off-specification percentage is based on the volume of water treated through the UV system. The off-specification percentage must be no more than 5% of the monthly total
production. The off-specification total volume should be calculated by totaling the off-specification time and the associated volume released during those periods for each UV reactor
(see Section 6.5.1 of the 2006 Final UVDGM).
Five factors shall be considered contributing to off-specification events:
The UV facility operates outside of the validated limits, for example, the validated dose is below the required dose, the flow rate is greater than the maximum validated flow rate,
UVT is below the minimum validated value, the ballast setting is below the validated power setting, etc
A UV sensor is not in calibration. For example, any of the duty sensors did not meet the calibration criteria, the failed duty sensors were not replaced with calibrated duty sensors,
or a UV sensor correction factor was not applied.
The UVT analyzer, which is part of the dose monitoring strategy, is found to be out of calibration and the remedial actions are not completed per the protocol prescribed in 6.4.1.2
of the 2006 Final UVDGM.
UV equipment and replaced components are not equivalent to or better than the equipment components validated. This UV equipment remains off specification until a proper replacement
takes place.
Failure of flow meters or missing data necessary for dose calculation.
UV Sensor Calibration and Reporting
The monthly compliance report shall contain:
Total number of UV sensors per reactor.
Number of UV sensors per reactor in service that were verified for calibration.
Number of verified sensors that were within an acceptable range of tolerance.
The System shall have an adequate inventory of duty UV sensors to allow immediate replacement of a failed duty UV sensor.
Re-calibrate or replace duty UV sensors if excessive drift or error occurs (i.e. greater than 20%).
Reference UV sensor shall be calibrated at least once a year at a qualified facility (such as the manufacturer). The date of the most recent UV reference sensor calibration shall be
included in the compliance report to the State.
Duty sensors shall be verified for calibration at least monthly by verifying with at least two (2) reference sensors. All UV sensors in operation that month shall be verified for calibration.
Date of the UV duty sensor verification shall be reported in the monthly report.
The System shall follow the verification protocol of duty UV sensors specified in Section 6.3 of the EPA Ultraviolet Disinfection Guidance Manual for the Final Long Term 2 Enhanced
Surface Water Treatment Rule (2006 Final UVDGM). UV sensor correction factor shall be included in the compliance report if a failed duty UV sensor is not replaced with a calibrated duty
UV sensor. However, this approach shall not be used for long-term operation and the UV sensor problem should be resolved as quickly as possible.
If a UV sensor correction factor (CF) is applied to allow a UV duty sensor that failed the UV sensor verification criteria to remain in service on an interim basis, the reactor number,
the UV sensor number, and its UV sensor correction factor must be reported.
UVT Analyzer Calibration and Reporting.
UVT analyzer calibration is required for the UV reactor validated based on the Calculated Dose Approach, because UVT is an integral part of the dose monitoring strategy.
The online UVT analyzers should be calibrated at least weekly by comparing the on-line UVT measurement using a bench-top spectrophotometer.
The UVT calibration frequency can be reduced to once a month if approved by the Executive Secretary when sufficient data (a minimum of a one-year period) indicate that the UVT analyzer
is consistently within the allowable calibration error without adjustment for more than a month.
Source Water Bin Classification
The Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR) established four bin classifications for Cryptosporidium based on concentration in the source water. If a water system
has source water classified in Bin 1, LT2ESWTR requires 2-log10 removal for Cryptosporidium. If a water system has source water in Bin 2, Bin 3, or Bin 4, LT2ESWTR requires additional
treatment, disinfection or inactivation for Cryptosporidium, as outlined in EPA’s “Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule Toolbox Guidance Manual.”
Since all water sources being treated at TP015 are currently designated as groundwater sources, the monitoring requirements of the LT2ESWTR do not apply. If in the future any water source
being treated at TP015 is designated as being groundwater under direct influence of surface water (GUDI), the monitoring required in the LT2ESWTR must be completed.
In the event additional log removal credit is needed for a higher Bin classification, additional treatment will need to be installed. New Plan Approval would be required for any additional
treatment.
