TP002 - 2015 TREATMENT PLANT -- Treatment General - Active
Exception Granted: R309-105-12 cross connection control | R309-105-12(1) states that cross connections are not allowed unless controlled by an
approved and properly operating backflow prevention device.

••The backwash supply line for this plant takes water from the distribution system for the backwash cycle on the filters. This line does not have a
backflow prevention device on it to prevent backflow from the backwash cycle from entering back to the distribution system. There is a very low
potential for a backflow event to occur as there is always positive pressure on the downstream side of the backwash valve, being supplied by
multiple tanks. Only under an extreme emergency condition when the storage tanks are completely empty, many distribution lines are drained, and
residential connection on the North side of town are out of water, would the pressure be low enough to allow a backflow event to occur. As an
additional precaution, the system has added plant alarms that notify the operator if one of the automated backwash valves fails to close tight and
also if the backwash meter detects any reverse flow.

•The waste water from the plant including the clarifier drain, the backwash drains, drains from the turbidity meter and sediment trap discharge to a
floor drain in the treatment plant that eventually discharges to a waste pond. These pipes discharge below the elevation of the grate without an air
gap. However, there is almost 13 feet of difference between the elevation of the treatment plant floor and the overflow of the waste pond. The
terrain around the waste pond slopes away from the treatment plant to an open field. It would be very unlikely that water would back up to the
building. If it were to back up, the drain in the building is grated and water would spill on to the floor and out the doors of the plant.

On this basis, an exception to R309-105-12, Cross Connection Control is hereby granted for the backwash supply line and the air gap on the waste
lines.

within 120 days of notification or have a corrective action plan approved by DDW.

188 What is the maximum filtration rate throughout the year (in gpm/sf)?6
189 What criteria are used to determine when a filter backwash is needed?T (Notes: Backwash M,W,F. Plant is set to
auto backwash if turbidity exceeds 0.29)
190 What criteria are used to determine filtration is functioning properly? (PSI, Turbidity,
Headloss, Flow rate, water quality parameter)

192 What criteria are used to determine if filter media needs to be replaced?Garret checks depths of filter media every
spring and fall
193 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.

194 If system filters by Direct Filtration, the plant is configured to shut down automatically
when a source water exceeds 20 NTU for longer than 3 hours, or when the source
water turbidity exceeds 30 NTU at any time? R309-530-5(3)(g)
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.
NA (Notes: Not a direct filtration plant)
195 Are the filters equipped with surface wash or air scour to enhance backwash?Y (Notes: Air Scour)
