04/17/23 Mission Monday: The Latest in Conducting Corrosion Control Studies

IEPA#: 18500

SUMMARY: Corrosion Control Studies (CCSs) for lead and copper reduction have been conducted since the early 2000s. With the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR), the EPA and many states developed guidance on conducting CCSs. The first phase of this was a desktop study which often involved flow diagrams and check lists. Since then, desktop studies and CCS evaluation methods have evolved significantly. Furthermore, the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) and IEPA require more efforts in desktop evaluations when changing treatment and source waters or exceeding various lead or copper levels. Additional phases of a CCS often referred to as demonstration studies have also evolved and do not look at all like the 2000 LCR guidance.

In this presentation we will review the latest science and methodologies in preparing desktop studies and conducting demonstration studies including scale analysis, solubility studies and harvested pipe studies.

AGENDA:

Updating the Lake Michigan Water Allocation Rules and Regulations
Daniel Injerd, Illinois Department of Natural Resources
The Department of Natural Resources "Rules and Regulations for the Allocation of Water from Lake Michigan” have been in effect since 1980. They have served the region well, and have enabled the orderly expansion of the Lake Michigan water service area such that today almost 7 million Illinois residents rely on Lake Michigan for their water supply. However, the provisions requiring the efficient use and conservation of Lake Michigan water have become outdated, and along with the increasing value of water it has become apparent that it is time to update these Rules. This presentation will provide an overview of the Department’s ongoing effort to update the Lake Michigan water allocation rules and regulations, and will include a brief discussion of the proposed revisions to the Rules.

Josh Ellis, Metropolitan Planning Council
The Ill. Dept. of Public Health is in the process of developing a green supplement to the State Plumbing Code to enable some forms of non-potable water reuse, greater consistency on use of high efficiency fixtures, and other sustainable measures. Josh Ellis of the Metropolitan Planning Council will provide an update on that process

No Lead
Aaron Gilson, A.Y. McDonald Manufacturing Company
This presentation covers the no lead legislation that goes into affect January 4th, 2014 and how it will effect production, installation, product, stock, scrap, and other factors. It educates plumbers and water operators on what the law means and what to expect for future installations. It also educates them on the NSF 61,ANSI372,and NSF 61 annex F.

UCMR3
Nathan Trowbridge, UL
The third Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 3) was finalized in May 2012. Under this rule, all Public Water Supplies (PWSs) with populations > 10,000 and 800 PWSs with populations <10,000 will be required to monitor for either List 1 or List 1 & List 2 for a one-year period between January 2013 and December 2015. Under List 1 & 2 of UCMR3, 28 chemical contaminants will be monitored.

The objective of this presentation will be to compare the similarities and differences between UCMR3 and the first two UCMRs. It will also focus on the analyte lists and include the analytical methods used to acquire data. The methods will be broken down to include instrumentation information, sampling techniques and locations, preservation and bottle requirements. Potential collection and laboratory related anomalies will be discussed. Methods to be discussed will include: List 1 EPA method 524.3 for Volatiles, EPA method 522 for 1,4-dioxane, EPA method 200.8 for metals, EPA method 300.1 for chlorate, EPA method 537 for Perfluorinated compounds and EPA method 218.7 for hexavalent chromium and List 2 EPA method 539 for Hormones. Additionally the unique reporting requirements for both the PWSs and the laboratories will be explained. This explanation will include data elements that need to be reported by both the PWS and the lab, SDWARS information and data upload requirements.

UL has been fully approved for all of the chemistry methods for UCMR3. With a history of full approval for both UCMR and UCMR2, UL is uniquely qualified to present on this topic from a laboratory’s perspective. UL maintains drinking water certification in all 50 states and focuses primarily on drinking water. UL has worked with EPA in developing the UCMR methods, tested previous UCMR samples for hundreds of PWSs and has provided support for other laboratories that have clients that must meet the requirements of the previous UCMRs.

Josh Ellis, Metropolitan Planning Council
Josh has been with MPC since 2006. He directs MPC’s sustainability initiatives, most notably in the fields of Stormwater Mitigation and Water Supply Management. Through on-the-ground initiatives like the Milwaukee Avenue Green Development Corridor, technical assistance to the Northwest Water Planning Alliance, and facilitation of diverse stakeholder groups working at the state level to modernize the Illinois Plumbing Code or establish a more robust regional water supply planning process, he leads MPC's multiple strategies to sustainably manage Illinois' finite water resources and reduce the harmful impacts of stormwater.

He leads many of MPC's research projects, including Immeasurable Loss: Modernizing Lake Michigan Water Use, Bus Rapid Transit: Chicago's New Route to Opportunity, and Before the Wells Run Dry. He also coordinates MPC's research assistant program, of which he himself is an alumnus.

A New Hampshire native, Josh resides in Chicago’s South Loop, and spends a lot of time in Lake Michigan and on the lake shore path. He managed a small school in Japan before his graduate studies in public policy and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Chicago. His honors thesis, published in Water, Environmental Security and Sustainable Rural Development: Conflict and Cooperation in Central Eurasia,compared the political discourse of marsh restoration in southeastern Iraq with the environmental history of the region.

Dear Friends of Bob Sasman,

As many of you already know, for the past year or so, Bob Sasman and I have worked on crafting his autobiography. As we say in "the biz,” the book is now hot off the press and ready for distribution. We are both very pleased with the final product.

Chambers, as it is entitled, consists of 5 volumes, each one reflecting a difference aspect of Bob’s life and corresponding thematically to Oliver Wendell Holmes’ poem, "The Chambered Nautilus.” The nautilus pictured on the cover of each volume and on the case in which they are collectively housed is the actual shell found by Bob nearly 70 years ago in the Philippines while he was serving in World War II.

Volume I, "The Ship of Pearl,” tells of Bob’s mostly idyllic personal life, recounting his escapades as a child, his marriage to Judy and their children, and his marriage to Mardy after Judy passed away.

In Volume II, ”The Making of a Colonel,” Bob chronicles his experiences in ROTC, the US Army, and the Army Reserve, giving details of the various places where he trained and served as well as the process he undertook on his way to becoming a Colonel.

Volume III, a discussion of Bob’s career with the Illinois State Water Survey, is named, "Call Me Mister Water,” as that sobriquet was often used by his associates in the field and the people in Illinois who called his office for service. Volume III also discusses the changes that occurred during his tenure with the Survey as well as the conferences he attended, speaking engagements he accepted, and numerous articles he published either alone or in cooperation with colleagues.

The title for Volumes IV, "The Voice That Sings,” was selected by me. It is not only a line from the 4^th stanza of Holmes’ poem, but also a way to tell the audience that this volume reflects Bob’s deepest thoughts and feelings as it records his travelogues, personal essays, and short stories. I like to think of it as a reflection of his soul.

Volume V, "Stately Mansions,” refers to the 200+ years of ancestry that created a foundation for the man Bob has become. It includes pictures and anecdotes that date from the 1800s. In the future Bob plans to create a flash drive or CD of more than 1300 names of ancestors that his years of research and numerous journeys have led him to find.

The entire 5-volume set contains over 2200 numbered pages of text and pictures plus additional pages of records and data. Place your order online and indicate if you want to pick up your book at WATERCON or at the Section Offices in St. Charles. Deadline to respond is February 7.

Sincerely,

Sandy Flannigan, Bob’s biographer and friend

Book Description

Publication Date: May 12, 2013

In the summer of 1862, Americans could not pick up a newspaper without reading of yet another tragic loss of life during the never-ending series of battles in the War Between the States. During this same period, a series of horrific events unfolded along the frontier in western Minnesota that would have captivated the attention of every American had they occurred at any other time in history. The Dakota Sioux, who had initially lived in peace with the growing population of whites, became increasingly frustrated with what they considered a series of broken promises by the federal government. As a result, they decided the only permanent solution to their problems was a quick and brutal campaign to kill every white settler in the area. Almost one thousand innocent lives were lost during the rampage, the largest loss of life during any Native American uprising in the history of America.

An enclave of emigrants consisting of former German revolutionaries, religious freethinkers, and Turners who only a few years prior had built the city of New Ulm, Minnesota within just a few miles of the reservation became prime targets of the bloody rampage. The Fuse is a fictional account of these actual events as seen through the eyes of New Ulm residents Anna and Richard Fischer, the author’s great-great-grandparents.
