SUBASENLON – POLARIS PARK SECTION 1

NAVAL SUBMARINE BASE NEW LONDON, CT INTRODUCTION

AH/BC Navy JV, LLC. 1-1 Draft, July 2019 119-108

1. INTRODUCTION

Originally founded in 1868, the Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASENLON) is one of the oldest Navy bases still in use today. Located in the town of Groton, Con-necticut (CT), it is the Navy’s first submarine base and the “Home of the Submarine

Force.” In 1916, many United States (US) submarines used the base as a homeport and a place for repair, resupply, and sailors’ rest and recuperation before returning to the front of World War I. SUBASENLON is located in the county of New London, CT, along the Thames River. The installation occupies more than 687 acres for SUBAS-

ENLON Main Base and over 530 acres for housing areas, with more than 1,500 Pub-lic/Private Venture family housing units.

This Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule (D/DBPR) monitoring plan covers the US Navy drinking water system at the SUBASENLON, Polaris Park housing area.

Separate sampling plans for other sites maintained by the SUBASENLON Public Work

Department (PWD) are contained in separate documents for each of the following ar-eas:

1. Main Base

2. Nautilus Park

3. Trident Park

4. Conning Towers

The potable water system in the housing portion of Dolphin Gardens is owned and maintained by the City of Groton, as was indicated in an agreement between Balfour

Beatty Communities and the City of Groton Utilities (GU) Department of Utilities dated

August 22, 2008. Also, the potable water system in Nautilus Park 3 north of Gun-gywamp Road is owned and maintained by the City of Groton based on an agreement between the two aforementioned parties dated February 13, 2007. Therefore, the parts of the system operated by GU in these areas are not included in the scope of this task order (see Appendix A for Statement of Work (SOW)).

Figure 1-1 is a location map that shows the SUBASENLON Polaris Park and other

SUBASENLON Areas.

NAVAL SUBMARINE BASE NEW LONDON, CT INTRODUCTION

AH/BC Navy JV, LLC. 1-3 Draft, July 2019 119-108

SUBASENLON Polaris Park is not a state-recognized Public Water System (PWS). Its population includes active duty, reserve and civilian personnel, as well as military fam-ilies. Under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), the state or primacy agency is the authority that enforces the SDWA requirements including approvals, monitoring, and reporting compliance. In addition to Navy drinking water requirements, the Drinking

Water Program Manager (PM) at Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC)

Mid-Atlantic (MIDLANT) serves as the SDWA primacy agency entity.

1.1 PURPOSE

As part of the ongoing effort to ensure the consistent and continuous delivery of safe potable water, as required by the Navy Command, NAVFAC MIDLANT, in cooperation with the Environmental Division (EV) at the SUBASENLON, contracted AH/BC Navy

JV, LLC to update the drinking water monitoring plan of the SUBASENLON Polaris

Park water system. This sampling plan reflects the SUBASENLON Polaris Park com-pliance with the D/DBPR requirements.

The D/DBPR was promulgated in two (2) stages. The Stage 1 D/DBPR reduced con-sumer drinking water exposure to disinfection byproducts (DBP). The Stage 2 D/DBPR strengthened public health protection by tightening compliance monitoring require-ments for total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and five haloacetic acids (HAA5)1. The Stage

2 D/DBPR targeted public water systems (PWSs) with the greatest risk of the presence of disinfectants and their by-products in the distributed water. The SUBASENLON Po-laris Park does not add disinfectant to the GU purchased water. Therefore, this moni-toring plan is focused on the DBP that form downstream of the GU interconnections.

This D/DBPR sampling plan complies with Navy regulations i.e., Office of the Chief of

Naval Operations Instruction (OPNAVINST) 5090.1D2, and EPA 815-R-09-017, March

20103 and conforms with common drinking water industry standards and practices, 1United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). August 2010.

AH/BC Navy JV, LLC. 2-1 Draft, July 2019 119-108

2. SUBASENLON POLARIS PARK WATER SYSTEM

This section identifies the main features of the SUBASENLON Polaris Park water sys-tem.

The SUBASENLON Polaris Park water system purchases treated water from the GU

Water Treatment Plant (WTP), a private entity that supplies water to the city and other towns and industrial facilities in the area. The SUBASENLON Polaris Park provides water to the public, but does not sell water4, is not a carrier, and does not provide treatment (as in additional filtration or by adding disinfectant). SUBASENLON Polaris

Park water system is not a licensed water system in the State of Connecticut (CT) and therefore it is not subject to the Stage 2 D/DBPR compliance requirements. The SUB-

ASENLON Polaris Park water system is required by Navy command instructions, at a minimum, to comply with monitoring requirements pertaining to those contaminants that could be contributed by the water distribution system downstream of the intercon-nection(s) to the primary supplier. The State of Connecticut Department of Public

Health (DPH-CT) September 13, 1993 letter confirmed SUBASENLON’s status as a service connection or a Master Meter customer to GU and therefore, exempt from the requirements of the SDWA. Consequently, the DPH-CT removed SUBASENLON from both the state and federal inventories of PWSs. Under the Navy water system certifi-cation program, the SUBASENLON Polaris Park system is classified as a consecutive

CWS.

4 If any of the SUBASENLON water systems sells water, that system becomes a regulated PWS subject to the SDWA and CT State primacy regulations. OPNAVINST 5090.1D Section 21-3.3 (b), states the following: ”There is no definition of "selling water" in SDWA however, EPA’s “Operator Certification Guide-lines Implementation Guidance” January 2000 defines selling water as follows: "A distributor of water for human consumption "sells" water within the meaning of the Act if it charges consumers for the water as a separate item or bills separately for the water it provides (House Report No. 93-1185). Conversely, if the entity includes charges for water in the rental fee, then it is not selling water within the context of the Act."

The Navy does not consider reimbursement for distribution system maintenance costs and water from one federal entity to another as selling water; this is merely an internal allocation of funds within the executive branch. The EPA definition above would apply to non-federal consumers including banks, credit unions, private companies, and restaurants to which Navy distributes water.

NAVAL SUBMARINE BASE NEW LONDON, CT SUBASENLON POLARIS PARK WATER SYSTEM

AH/BC Navy JV, LLC. 2-2 Draft, July 2019 119-108

The SUBASENLON Polaris Park housing area has a population of approximately 200 and operates a water distribution system that provides water for human consumption to the base population through pipes and other constructed storage and conveyances.

Table 2-1 summarizes the SUBASENLON Polaris Park distribution system piping length by material type.

2.1 SERVICE CONNECTIONS

The DPH-CT classifies SUBASENLON Polaris Park water system as a service con-nection to GU and does not regulate it as a PWS, consecutive or otherwise, nor require the system to monitor water quality. The SUBASENLON Polaris Park water distribution system receives potable water from GU through two (2) service connections, as sum-marized in Table 2-2.

Table 2-2 GU Service Connections to Polaris Park Water System

SUBASENLON

Water System

Total Number of Service

Connections Location

Polaris Park 2 One (1) at Monroe Court

One (1) at Edison Drive

The GU WTP source water includes a series of five interconnected reservoirs covering a watershed of 16 square miles (four reservoirs – Morgan, Ledyard, Poheganut and

Smith Lake - flow into Poquonock, the final terminal reservoir) and three backup wells.

GU owns and maintains the water meters and the Navy owns the pits (structure, pipe, and cover).

NAVAL SUBMARINE BASE NEW LONDON, CT SUBASENLON POLARIS PARK WATER SYSTEM

AH/BC Navy JV, LLC. 2-3 Draft, July 2019 119-108

GU has no notices of violation of the SDWA for at least the last 10 years. Therefore, any water quality issues experienced by SUBASENLON Polaris Park water system customers related to pipe or fittings corrosion, microbial contamination, or lead and copper in drinking water most probably originate within its distribution system.

The system includes a pumping station and ground and elevated water storage tanks.

The potable water distribution system consists of approximately 1.8 miles (2.9 km) of distribution piping up to 8 inches in diameter. The system is a combined potable and fire protection system. The two inter-connections with the GU distribution system are metered by GU-owned meters housed in Navy owned meter vaults. The relatively new

(compared to SUBASENLON Main Base, Nautilus Park, and Conning Towers systems) water distribution network was installed in 1974 and extended to include additional housing units in 1994. All housing units along Houston Road and Jackson Drive were demolished by the privatization contractor in 2008. The system is a combined potable and fire protection system. Pipe materials include approximately 74% ductile iron and

26% copper.

The Navy requires SUBASENLON Polaris Park to monitor contaminants (e.g., DBP) that could be contributed by the water distribution system downstream of the intercon-nection(s) to the primary supplier regardless of a state variance or exemption from reg-ulatory monitoring requirements. This D/DBPR sampling plan provides a site-specific sampling plan for SUBASENLON Polaris Park. This plan requires periodic updates based on sampling site availability and base population changes. Appendix B includes the CT Stage 2 D/DBPR fact sheet and compliance monitoring plan form (provided here for information in case the system becomes regulated).

The PM at NAVFAC MIDLANT serves as the primacy agency entity where, under the

SDWA, approval or compliance with Navy requirements and reporting is required.

Therefore, SUBASENLON Polaris Park must comply with the monitoring requirements of D/DBPR. As stipulated in the OPNAVINST 5090.1D, Navy water systems, at a min-imum, must comply with the Stage 2 D/DBPR. This monitoring is required regardless

NAVAL SUBMARINE BASE NEW LONDON, CT SUBASENLON POLARIS PARK WATER SYSTEM

AH/BC Navy JV, LLC. 2-4 Draft, July 2019 119-108 of a state variance or exemption from regulatory monitoring requirements. This SUB-

ASENLON Polaris Park Stage 2 D/DBPR monitoring plan will require periodic updates based on sampling site availability and population changes.

SUBASENLON – POLARIS PARK SECTION 3

NAVAL SUBMARINE BASE NEW LONDON, CT REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

AH/BC Navy JV, LLC. 3-1 Draft, July 2019 119-108

3. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

This section summarizes the regulatory requirements applicable to the drinking water systems at SUBASENLON Polaris Park Under the SDWA, consecutive PWSs are not generally subject to the monitoring requirements of the SDWA if they satisfy all of the following criteria specified in the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations

(NPDWR) 40 CFR 141.3:

• The PWS consists of only distribution and storage facilities and does not have any collection or treatment facilities

• The PWS obtains all its water from, but is not owned or operated by, a PWS to which the regulations apply

• The PWS does not sell water to any persons

• The PWS is not a carrier that conveys passengers in interstate commerce

All Navy systems, including unregulated consecutive systems, must develop a drinking water D/DBPR sampling plan and consumer notification, in compliance with

OPNAVINST 5090.1D5 requirements.

The SDWA and the OPNAVINST 5090.1D (10 January 2014), classify the SUBAS-

ENLON Polaris Park water system as a PWS and a community water system (CWS).

As a state-exempt consecutive water system, SUBASENLON Polaris Park is not sub-ject to the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies (RCSA) Section 19-13-B102

(Standards for quality of public drinking water). The CT Department of Public Health

Drinking Water Section is the state primacy agency in charge of enforcing the SDWA regulations. In accordance with the SDWA 1996 amendments, EPA developed the

Stage 1 D/DBPR6 (December 1998) to mitigate health risks caused by disinfectants and DBP in drinking water. The Stage 2 D/DBPR (January 2006) built upon Stage 1

D/DBPR to provide protection measures beyond those required by Stage 1 D/DBPR in

PWS’ higher exposure risk areas. In accordance with OPNAVINST 5090.1D, SUBAS-

ENLON Polaris Park must monitor those contaminants that could be contributed by the

5 OPNAVINST 5090.1D dated 10 January 2014 is the most updated version of OPNAVINST 5090.1D.

6 Stage 1 D/DBPR does not apply to consecutive systems unless specifically required by the state.

AH/BC Navy JV, LLC. 4-1 Draft, July 2019 119-108

4. DISINFECTANT RESIDUAL SAMPLING AND MONITORING

Under Navy requirements, the D/DBPR (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR]

141.624) requires SUBASENLON Polaris Park water systems to adhere to the follow-ing disinfectant monitoring requirements:

1. Analytical requirements in 40 CFR 141.131(c): Lists approved methods for chlo-rine and chloramine (not applicable to SUBASENLON) residual monitoring. The rule allows systems to use N, N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine kits, among other methods, for measuring these residuals. Only a party approved by EPA or the state may measure the residual disinfectant concentration for compliance.

2. Monitoring requirements in 40 CFR 141.132(c)(1): Requires systems to meas-ure the residual disinfectant concentration at the same time and location as total coliforms are sampled as specified in 40 CFR 141.217.

3. Compliance requirements in 40 CFR 141.133(c)(1): Requires systems to deter-mine Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) compliance using a run-ning annual average (RAA), computed quarterly, of monthly averages of resid-ual disinfectant samples collected for compliance. If the RAA exceeds the

MRDL, a regulated system would be in violation and would normally report to the state and notify the public. Systems that switch between chlorine and chlo-ramines must calculate compliance using results of both chlorine and chlora-mine residual monitoring together. The MRDL for chlorine is 4.0 mg/L and the

MRDL for chlorine dioxide (used occasionally by GU during summer time) is 0.8 mg/L (40 CFR 141.65). Any violation of the MRDL must be immediately verified and thoroughly investigated as it might be an equipment malfunctioning incident

(disinfectant residual measurement or chlorine dosing equipment failure), an accident, or an adversarial act within GU water distribution system(s).

7 One residual chlorine sample must be taken at the same time a total coliform sample is taken.

AH/BC Navy JV, LLC. 5-1 Draft, July 2019 119-108

5. SAMPLING AND SAMPLE ANALYSIS PROCEDURES

This section presents laboratory certification requirements and TTHM and HAA5 sam-ple collection procedures.

5.1 TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

SUBASENLON Polaris Park can use a state-certified contract laboratory8 to collect

D/DBPR samples from its distribution system or can choose to collect D/DBPR samples using its own staff (e.g., SUBASENLON Public Works Department Environmental Divi-sion staff). If SUBASENLON Polaris Park chooses to collect its own samples, as a best management practice, it is recommended that only trained individuals9 collect D/DBPR samples. Adequately trained personnel approved by the NAVFAC MIDLANT PM 10 must conduct measurements of residual disinfectant concentrations (40 CFR 141.74).

Prospective samplers should successfully complete the A-4A-0026 Environmental

Quality Sampling course. The Inter-service Environmental Education Review Board, sponsored by Civil Engineer Corps Officers’ School, offers the course. This course sat-isfies Navy training requirements for Navy environmental samplers (OPNAVINST

5090.1D) by providing training in the following areas:

• Basic sampling techniques (avoidance of cross-contamination, use of preserv-atives)

• Specific sampling techniques for the all environmental media including potable water

• Completion of environmental sampling paperwork (sample container labeling, field log books, Chain of Custody (COC11) documentation)

8 SUBASENLON Polaris Park must make sure to use a state certified laboratory accredited for all required DBP parameters (i.e., TTHM and HAA5). Appendix C provides a list of In-state certified laboratories for drinking water testing.

9 Based on RCSA Section 19-13-B102(e)(7)(A), water samples shall be collected by technical personnel employed by an environmental laboratory approved by the department under section 25-40 of the CT General Statutes, or a certified distribution system operator, or a certified treatment plant operator, or a sanitarian, or an employee of the department, or a person under the direct supervision of either a certified distribution system operator or a certified treatment plant operator.

10 In this plan, the PM replaces the state or the primacy agency.

11 Appendix C includes an example of COC form.

NAVAL SUBMARINE BASE NEW LONDON, CT SAMPLING AND SAMPLE ANALYSIS PROCEDURES

AH/BC Navy JV, LLC. 5-2 Draft, July 2019 119-108

• Health and safety considerations

• Field-testing techniques (use of pH meter, temperature indicator)

Appendix C provides typical sampling documentation maintained at SUBASENLON water system, including an example COC form and a list of outside contractors (e.g., state-certified laboratories).

5.2 SAMPLE COLLECTION PROCEDURES

The following items must be prepared and checked before each sampling event.

Items for Sampling

• Sample vials provided by laboratory (most laboratories will provide sample vi-als with proper preservative and dechlorinating agents): Refer to Table 5-1 for the proper sampling containers for each DBP analytical method.

• Small bottle of 1:1 hydrochloric acid and eye dropper or Pasteur pipette, as pH adjustment is necessary for some TTHM methods (many laboratories will pro-vide ampules with acid for pH adjustment. Take care to follow the specific sampling procedure provided by the analytical laboratory.

• Be sure to understand and follow the specific sampling procedure provided by the analytical laboratory (if provided).

• Remove the aerator from the tap, if there is one present.

• Open the water tap and allow the system to flush until the water temperature has stabilized (usually about 3-5 minutes). The purpose of this step is to en-sure the sample does not represent stagnant water that has set for a long time in the water line between the street and the faucet. The sample should be rep-resentative of the water flowing through the distribution system at the chosen sampling point.

• Adjust the flow so that no air bubbles are visually detected in the flowing stream.

• Slowly fill the sample vial almost to the top without overflowing. Use the bottle cap to add a small amount of additional sample water while simultaneously capping the vial to achieve a headspace-free sample OR fill the bottle with sample gently until the meniscus is level with the bottle top and carefully place the cap on the bottle eliminating any air. Be careful not to rinse out any of the preservative/dechlorinating agent during this process. After the bottle is filled, invert three or four times.

• If collecting TTHM samples that require acidification, let the sample set for about 1 minute, allowing the dechlorinating chemical to take effect. Carefully open the vial and adjust the pH of the TTHM sample to < 2 by adding approxi-mately 4 drops of hydrochloric acid for every 40 mL of sample (amount of acid needed will depend on buffering capacity of sample). Recap the vial, and in-vert three or four times.

• Invert the vial and tap it to check for air bubbles. If bubbles are detected, care-fully open the vial and add more sample water using the cap to achieve a headspace-free sample.

• Immediately cool the samples to 4oC by placing them in a cooler with frozen refrigerant packs or ice. Samples should be maintained at this temperature during shipment to the laboratory.

• Complete the sample COC provided by the laboratory and include it with the sample shipment.

SUBASENLON – POLARIS PARK STAGE 2 D/DBPR SAMPLING FREQUENCY

NAVAL SUBMARINE BASE NEW LONDON, CT AND SAMPLING SITE SELECTION

AH/BC Navy JV, LLC. 6-1 Draft, July 2019 119-108

6. STAGE 2 D/DBPR SAMPLING FREQUENCY AND

SAMPLING SITE SELECTION

This 2019 SUBASENLON Polaris Park Stage 2 D/DBPR monitoring plan is the periodic update of the 2014 monitoring plan. It is based on current sampling site availability and population. For SUBASENLON Polaris Park, the D/DBPR applies to consecutive

CWSs that do not add a disinfectant to the drinking water within the distribution system.

The maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for TTHM and HAA5 are the same for the

Stage 1 D/DBPR and the Stage 2 D/DBPR; however, the method of calculating TTHM and HAA5 compliance is different. Stage 2 D/DBPR compliance is based on locational running annual averages (LRAAs) of TTHM and HAA5 concentrations as determined through a monitoring plan developed for the system (40 CFR 141.622). Compliance is based on meeting the MCL at each monitoring location, instead of using the system-wide RAA required under the Stage 1 D/DBPR.

The state regulations require licensed consecutive systems to comply with the D/DBPR at the same time as the supplier system. Compliance with the Stage 2 D/DBPR by all

PWSs, including GU, began on April 1, 2012 (for GU) and ended on October 1, 2013

(for systems of <10,000 population) (see Appendix B). Although SUBAENLON Polaris

Park is not subject to the state regulatory requirements, it can use the same monitoring schedule currently used by GU, or implement a quarterly monitoring schedule of its choosing.

6.1 SAMPLING FREQUENCY

SUBASENLON Polaris Park water system serves less than 10,000 people. Table 6-1 summarizes the compliance monitoring requirements under 40 CFR part 141, subpart

H monitoring for Stage 2 D/DBPR (§141.132) and Table 6-2 presents SUB-

BASEENLON Polaris Park water system D/DBPR monitoring frequency. Table 6-3 lists the D/DBPR regulated contaminants.

6.2 SAMPLING LOCATIONS SELECTION JUSTIFICATION

The Stage 2 D/DBPR included an initial distribution system evaluation (IDSE)13. The

IDSE evaluation study is part of the D/DBPR and requires sampling at various locations within the network to determine critical sampling locations for DBP. As stated by SDWA regulations, “the goal of the IDSE is to characterize the distribution system and identify monitoring sites where customers may be exposed to high levels of total trihalome-thanes (TTHM) and haloacetic acids (HAA5).” The last IDSE studies in the United

States (US) were concluded by October 1, 2013.

• Research, including data collected through the IDSE studies in the US, estab-lished that HAA5 levels are highest and TTHM levels are lowest at the point of entry to the distribution system and HAA5 levels are lowest and TTHM levels are highest at the point with the highest water age.

• Many Navy water systems, including SUBASENLON, were not required to de-velop or submit an IDSE report under either 40 CFR 141.601 or 141.602 and meet the already passed deadlines specified in the regulations.

AH/BC Navy JV, LLC. 6-4 Draft, July 2019 119-108

Therefore, with the knowledge gained over more than ten years concerning HAA5 and

TTHM occurrence in the distribution system, selection of appropriate monitoring loca-tions can be based on rationale for identifying locations with high levels of TTHM or

HAA5, rather than an IDSE.

Table 6-4 provides the locations and justification for site selection based on the require-ments of the Stage 2 D/DBPR. Figure 6-1 depicts the monitoring sampling locations on the water supply distribution system map.

Buildings (Housing Units) at 2 Wilson Lane and 1 Edison Drive water samples, collected from the furthest location in the distribution system and/or measured non-detect disin-fectant residuals (i.e., <0.02 mg/L) because of their dis-tance from GU connection points (i.e., long resident time).

Low disinfectant residuals relative to those at other build-ings at SUBASENLON Polaris Park, usually indicate long residence time and correlate with higher TTHM concentra-tions. Therefore, these locations are good sites for high TTHM monitoring.

Because of its proximity to the GU water meter pit, the wa-ter at Building 2 (2 Monroe Lane), has shortest residence time. As HAA5 compounds degrade in the water system, EPA suggests locating HAA5 sites in areas with high disin-fectant residuals and short water residence time, which corresponds to first customers on the network. An alterna-tive location of Building 28 Edison Drive is also close to the GU interconnection water meter pit.

NAVAL SUBMARINE BASE NEW LONDON, CT CALCULATING THE LRAA AND OEL

AH/BC Navy JV, LLC. 7-1 Draft, July 2019 119-108

7. CALCULATING THE LRAA AND OEL

Compliance with TTHM and HAA5 MCLs for Stage 2 D/DBPR is based on calculating the LRAA at each monitoring location. Based on population served and source water, SUBASENLON Polaris Park must monitor for TTHM and HAA5 once per year at each of the two selected locations as listed in the above section (see Section 6, Table 6-4).

Polaris Park must take individual TTHM and HAA5 samples (instead of a dual sample set) at the locations with the highest TTHM and HAA5 concentrations. However, if the highest TTHM and HAA5 concentrations occur at the same location and during the same month, then only one location with a dual sample set per monitoring period is needed.

7.1 CALCULATING LOCATIONAL RUNNING ANNUAL AVERAGE

For SUBASENLON Polaris Park water system, LRAA calculations are computed as follows and an example is provided as a demonstration for a system that collects TTHM and HAA5 samples quarterly:

• LRAA = (Q1+Q2+Q3+Q4)/4

• The following quarter, LRAA = (Q2+Q3+Q4+Q5)/4

• Q1 through Q5 correspond to TTHM and HAA5 results for samples collected during a calendar quarter at each of the locations in Table 7-1.

• MCL compliance is based on the LRAA of the last four calendar quarters be-ing less than the MCL for each location, as presented in the following example LRAA calculation.

The D/DBPR does not require SUBASENLON Polaris Park to conduct operational eval-uation levels. However, if Polaris Park system (serving < 500) exceeds the DBP MCL it must increase DBP monitoring to quarterly. This entails calculating the Operational

Evaluation Levels (OELs) as explained in the following section.

Note: In the US, some states require that regulated systems submit analytical results directly to the State for the State to perform the compliance calculations.

However, because SUBASENLON is not a state regulated system, perform the calculations associated with the LRAA in-house and report them to the

NAVFAC MIDLANT PM.

NAVAL SUBMARINE BASE NEW LONDON, CT CALCULATING THE LRAA AND OEL

AH/BC Navy JV, LLC. 7-3 Draft, July 2019 119-108

7.2 CALCULATING OPERATIONAL EVALUATION LEVEL

When quarterly monitoring is required (because of MCL exceedance), the D/DBPR re-quires SUBASENLON Polaris Park to calculate OELs. The purpose of establishing

OELs is to reduce peaks in DBP levels and exposure to high DBP levels. The OEL calculations are done for both TTHM and HAA5 at each monitoring location using com-pliance monitoring results.

The OEL is determined by the sum of the two previous quarter’s TTHM or HAA5 results plus twice the current quarter’s TTHM or HAA5 result at that location, divided by four

(i.e., OEL = (Q1 + Q2 + 2Q3) / 4).

If an OEL is exceeded, SUBASENLON Polaris Park must take the following steps to minimize future exceedances:

• Conduct an operational evaluation including an examination of the treatment and distribution systems’ operational practices that may contribute to TTHM and HAA5 formation.

• Submit a written report of the evaluation to the PM no later than 90 days after being notified of the analytical results that caused the exceedance(s).

• Keep a copy of the operational evaluation report and make it publicly available upon request.

NAVAL SUBMARINE BASE NEW LONDON, CT PUBLIC NOTIFICATION

AH/BC Navy JV, LLC. 8-1 Draft, July 2019 119-108

8. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION

OPNAVINST 5090.1D (Chapter 21 Section 3-4) requires Navy water systems to com-ply with Public Notification requirements (OPNAVINST 5090.1D Chapter 21 Section 3-

4(j)) regardless of variance or monitoring requirements. As a state-exempt consecutive system that is not required to comply with the Stage 2 D/DBPR (40 CFR 141.624), SUBASENLON Polaris Park water system is not required to notify the state or do Public

Notification in case of MCL, MRDL, or other Stage 2 DBP-related violations. However, under Navy requirements, compliance with Stage 2 D/DBPR includes monitoring of

DBP and disinfectant residual. SUBASENLON Polaris Park water system, as a CWS that delivers water that might contain DBP and disinfectant residual in its distribution system, must provide notification as summarized in Table 8-1. Figure 8-1 presents a proposed notification procedure and Appendix D includes notification templates for

DBP RAA and LRAA violations.
