A. Question posted after site visit:

1. Contractor Question:

Please let us know the flow to be treated in gpm (gallons per minute) or is it a batch at a time?

Answer: Batch at a time currently.

Georgia has a max demand of 500L during any one hour and Wyoming has a max demand of 3000L during any one hour. There are other peripheral systems that could add 20% additional demand.

2. Contractor Question: Is it intermittent as in sporadic or is it continuous?

Answer: It is sporadic at the current time.

The waste supply to this system would be considered intermittent/sporadic, but the re‐supply of treated water back into the system should be designed to be continuous. It is the responsibility of the contractor to propose a functioning/controllable system that maximizes re‐supplied water for each of these facilities.

3. Contractor Question: Is the bacteria content IDLH?

Answer: No, the bacteria content is not IDLH (immediate danger life and health).
