C.2. LOCATION/DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND

C.2.1 Water System Locations

For locations of the three water systems and wastewater treatment system, see Attachment 1.

C.2.2. Water Systems Description

Rattlesnake WS Rattlesnake Water System (PWS AZ0407875) is classified as a public, transient, non-community water system. It consists of a photovoltaic power system using 3 banks of tracking solar arrays, a 360 foot deep groundwater well equipped with a submersible pump, one small bladder-type pressure tank, one chlorinator, a water filter, and a 6,000 gallon underground fiberglass storage tank. Water is pumped to the tank then gravity fed to the distribution system. The system is wired for a back-up portable generator. The distribution system supplies a day-use picnic area with flush toilets and hydrants.

Operation of the water system is classified through ADEQ as Grade I Treatment and Grade I Distribution. The water system Microbiological Sample Siting Plan (MSSP) is provided in Attachment 2.

Goldfield Water System (WS) The Goldfield water system ( AZ0407873) is classified as a non-public, transient, non-community system. The system is used year-round. The water system consists of a ground water well, submersible well pump, sediment filters, chlorine injection system, hydropnematic tanks, water softener (not in use), booster pumps, 16,000 and 6,500 gallon water storage tanks, float switches and electric controls. The water distribution system provides potable water to the entire Goldfield Administrative Compound. The water system Microbiological Sample Siting Plan (MSSP) is provided in Attachment 2

Tortilla CG WS The TNF Tortilla CG Water System (PWS AZ0407864) is classified as a public, transient, non-community water system. The facility includes one groundwater well and submersible pump, a chlorination system, a 15,000 gallon underground fiberglass storage tank, and a distribution system that serves the Tortilla Campground and the FS administration compound. Operation of the water system is classified through ADEQ as Grade I Treatment and Grade I Distribution. The water system Microbiological Sample Siting Plan (MSSP) is provided in Attachment 2.

Tortilla CC WWS The Tortilla CG Wastewater Treatment System (WWTP Sys. #100560) is classified as a Class 2 WWTF and the collection system is classified as a class 1 collection system. The treatment plant is made up of two aerator tanks and two lagoons arranged in series. During operation, raw sewage enters the first aeration tank and gravity flow occurs into the second aeration tank, then into the first lagoon, then into the second lagoon, with the quality of water improving in each successive tank or lagoon. The plant receives and treats sewage from Tortilla Campground, which includes 77 sewer connections - one at each RV site; 6 buildings – each containing 4 flush toilets; and one RV dump station.
