Backflow Prevention: Ensure that new or renovated drinking water supply connections and valves are equipped with backflow assemblies to protect potable water quality from contact with non-potable irrigation system backflows, stagnant water distribution lines, fire suppression system lines, and other backflow sourced cross-contamination. All new or renovated backflow assemblies must be tested and test results submitted to the cross-connection control program manager at the 30th Civil Engineering Water/Fuel Systems.

2. Cross Connection: All abandoned potable water tanks, distribution lines, hydrants, and drinking water system components must be capped off, removed, permanently closed, or made inert. Maintained potable lines must be protected against cross-contamination by preventing contact with abandoned line segments or non-potable connections. If necessary, backflow assemblies must be installed to remediate the potential for cross-connections. Ensure all encountered storm sewer lines, sanitary sewer lines, industrial feeder lines, and drinking water distribution lines no longer needed are capped off, removed, permanently closed, or made inert in order to prevent inflow-infiltration issues, cross-connections, and/or health-related hazards.

Biodegradable or detergent free wash water under wastewater containment is authorized to percolate in place. Any oily sheen must be cleaned and drummed for proper disposal.

H. Building and Structural Preparation Washing: During pressure washing of building roofs and walls, ensure that facility wash down waters and paint-related wastewaters are collected and sampled (roof and exterior walls must have separate analysis) to determine preferred disposal disposition. Prior to disposition, 30 CES/CEA coordination and approval is required.

I. Groundwater: Groundwater encountered should be left intact/in place if possible. Pumping, dewatering, well purging, etcetera, of groundwater in order to accomplish work activity requires pre-coordination with 30 CES/CEA and the Installation Restoration Program Office.

J. Pollutant Spill Supplies and Wastewater Containment Units: In the event of a hazmat spill or a storm water pollution related incident, contact 30 CES/CEA for assistance with spill control and containment supplies. In the event that large volumes of wastewater must be emergency-pumped and staged, contact 30 CES/CEA for assistance.
