141 Is a coagulant aid or filter aid being added?Y (Notes: T-floc)
142 Is there a means to determine coagulant dosage?
MIN | 15pts | TR | T083 | R309-525-11(2)(a) and (d) | R309-525-11(2)(a) and (d)
C
143 There is a standard operating procedure (SOP) available for adjusting flocculator
speed.
N (Notes: No floc mixers)
144 Does the flocculation process produce visible floc?
MIN | 15pts | TR | T082 | R309-525-12(2)(g) | The flocculation unit shall be capable of
producing a visible, settleable flow.
C
145 Instrumentation and controls for the process are operational, and in service
SIG | 25pts | TR | T021 | R309-100 - R309-600 | All instrumentation needed to verify
that treatment processes are sufficient shall be properly calibrated and maintained. At
a minimum, this shall include turbidimeters. This significant deficiency must be
corrected within 120 days of notification or have a corrective action plan approved by
DDW.
C
146 Is turbidity monitoring required? ... if yes, answer the following question(s)Y

146A How often is the turbidity meter calibrated?monthly

146B How often is the flow of turbidity meter verified?quarterly

146C Is continuous turbidity monitoring in operation.
SIG | 50pts | TR | T005 | R309-525-15(4)(b)(vi), R309-525-15(4)(c)(vii) | Each dual
media and tri-media filter must be provided with equipment which shall continuously
monitor turbidity in the filtered water. This significant deficiency must be corrected
within 120 days of notification or have a corrective action plan approved by DDW.
C
147 What is the maximum filtration rate throughout the year (in gpm/sf)?5.2
148 What criteria are used to determine when a filter backwash is needed?T
149 What criteria are used to determine filtration is functioning properly? (PSI, Turbidity,
Headloss, Flow rate, water quality parameter)
turbidity
150 Criteria is used to determine filter loading rate meets the manufacturers
recommendations? R309-525-15(2) Explain in comments...
MIN | 15pts | TR | TGR9 | R309-105-7, 8 & 18, R309-100 through 605 | Trigger for
regulatory followup to address concerns.
C (Notes: 65 gpm/12.5ft2= 5.2 gpm/ft2)
151 What criteria are used to determine if filter media needs to be replaced?depth inspection
152 Is backwash flow rate verified to determine it meets minimum requirements?
MIN | 15pts | TR | T076 | R309-525-15(7) | Rule requires that backwash systems be
designed and operated to
provide for adequate backwash with minimum media loss.
C (Notes: every 25 hours filters are
backwashed using approx. 5,000 gallons for
about 10 min.)
