Stage 1 D/DBP Rule ElementsU.S. EPA Regulation Effective 2002 • Maximum contaminant levels • Trihalomethanes (THMs) less than 80 ug/L • Haloacids less than 60 ug/L • Regulated as system-wide average • Treatment technique • Enhanced coagulation (TOC control) • Alternative compliance criteria
Limit in 2000 (~25%) Needed Blend ? Additionaltreatment needed 100% CRW 100% SPW Water Blend Determining Operating Strategy
Water Quality and Treatment Responseto Control DBPs and DBP Precursors • Reduce SWP blend (2000) • Increase coagulant & acid dosage • Reduce chlorine dosage • Increase solids handling capacity • Delay chlorination to filter influent • Complete ozone retrofit (2009)
Chlorine Chlorine Increase coagulant & acid dose Reduce plant influent chlorine Delay chlorination to filter influent only Chlorine Treatment Configurations for Increased SPW Blends Ammonia, Caustic soda Coagulant, Acid RAPID MIX FLOCCULATION/ SEDIMENTATION FILTRATION
