  6. Surface Water Treatment Rules (SWTRs) U.S. EPA Webcast Training Session June 29, 2005 2:00-4:00pm EST

  7. SWTRs • SWTRs Training encompasses requirements of the following regulations: • Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR) • Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (IESWTR) • Long Term Enhanced 1 Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT1ESWTR) • Filter Backwash Recycling Rule (FBRR)

  8. SWTRs

  9. SWTRs Purpose • Purpose: To improve public health protection through the control of microbial contaminants, including requirements for removal and/or inactivation of: • Viruses • Giardia Lamblia • Cryptosporidium

  10. SWTRs Scope • Scope: • Applies to all public water systems using surface water or ground water under the direct influence of surface water (GWUDI), otherwise known as “Subpart H systems.” • Require all Subpart H systems to: • Disinfect • Filter • Individual filter monitoring & establishes CFE limits • Apply treatment technique requirements for control of microbials. • Exception – Systems meeting Filter Avoidance Criteria only need to disinfect

  11. Outline • History of Microbials • Overview of SWTR, IESWTR, and LT1ESWTR Requirements • Disinfection Profiling and Benchmarking • Lessons Learned in the Process (City of Manassas, VA) • Other Requirements under the SWTR • Turbidity Requirements • Conventional and Direct Filtration Systems • Systems using Slow Sand, Diatomaceous Earth or Alternative Filtration • Unfiltered Systems • Case Studies • Additional Resources Overview

  12. The requirements that apply to each system depend on the system’s treatment process. Applicability to Systems • This presentation covers: • Conventional and Direct Filtration Systems • Slow Sand and Diatomaceous Earth or Alternative Filtration Systems • Unfiltered Systems Overview

A state may allow systems serving 3,300 or fewer persons to take grab samples from 1-4 times per day, depending on system size. Slow Sand, Diatomaceous or Alternative Filtration Conventional and Direct Filtration Unfiltered Systems

  48. Residual Disinfectant Reporting Requirements Report to state due within 10 days of the end of the following month. Remember to include: When state was notified of events where residual disinfectant was <0.2 mg/L Lowest daily value for each day A calculation of the percent of distribution residual samples that were undetectable The date and duration when residual disinfectant was <0.2 mg/L Slow Sand, Diatomaceous or Alternative Filtration Conventional and Direct Filtration Unfiltered Systems

  49. Additional Disinfectant Monitoring Requirements Unfiltered Systems

  50. Additional Disinfectant Reporting Requirements Report to state due within 10 days of the end of the following month. Remember to include: As soon as possible, but no later than the end of the next business day. Remember to include: Daily residual disinfectant concentration(s) and disinfectant contact time(s) used for calculating the CT value(s). Instances where the residual disinfectant level entering the distribution system was < 0.2 mg/L Unfiltered Systems
