The
first
part
of
this
appendix
includes
general
system
information
and
a
summary
of
TTHM
and
HAA5
data
that
resulted
in
Elm
City
having
to
perform
a
significant
excursion
evaluation.
This
information
is
not
required
as
part
of
the
documentation
of
a
significant
excursion.
Only
the
Significant
Excursion
Report
is
required
to
be
completed
by
systems
that
experience
a
significant
excursion.

This
appendix
is
provided
as
an
example
of
a
system
in
which
changes
in
source
water
quality
led
to
a
DBP
Significant
Excursion.
Possible
strategies
to
reduce
excursions
are
presented
in
Chapter
4,
but
they
are
not
to
be
included
in
the
identification
and
documentation
process.
Appendices
C
through
E
provide
similar
examples
for
systems
in
which
changes
in
treatment
plant
operations,
changes
in
distribution
system,
and
multiple
causes
resulted
in
a
significant
excursion.

This
example
assumes
the
state
has
chosen
to
use
the
"
difference
approach"
(
see
Chapter
1.1)
for
determining
that
a
significant
excursion
has
occurred
and
that
a
significant
excursion
evaluation
is
required.

During

which
took
place
in

2004,
Elm

experienced
unusually
high
TTHM
and
HAA5

relative

No
If
yes,
please
explain:

The
most
probable
cause
of
the
DBP
excursion
noted
during
the
September
2004
sampling
even
was
a
rapid
increase
of
the
organic
matter
concentration
in
the
Softwood
River.
Following
two
days
of
heavy
rainfall
the
TOC
measured
in
the
plant
influent
increased
from
2.7
mg/
L
to
8.4
mg/
L.
At
the
same
time,
turbidity
of
the
source
water
also
increased
from
5
ntu
to
a
maximum
of
98
ntu.
The
coagulant
(
ferric
chloride)
dose
was
increased
from
20
mg/
L
to
75
mg/
L
to
match
water
quality
changes.
For
the
duration
of
this
high
turbidity/
high
NOM
event,
the
pH
of
coagulation
was
maintained
between
61.
and
6.3.
The
higher
coagulant
dose
prevented
any
significant
increases
of
turbidity
in
the
settled
water,
but
the
concentration
of
TOC
in
the
plant
effluent
increased
from
1.8
mg/
L
to
3.8
mg/
L.
Jar
testing
conducted
at
the
time
of
the
event
indicated
that
a
further
increase
of
the
coagulant
dose
(
dosages
up
to
120
mg/
L
were
tested)
would
have
not
significantly
improved
TOC
removal
under
the
pH
conditions
presently
used
to
conduct
the
coagulation
process.

Attach
all
supporting
operational
or
other
data
which
led
you
to
conclude
this
was
the
cause
of
your
excursion(
s)
or

S
Did
chlorinated
water
sit
in
the
filter
for
an
extended
period
of
time?

S
Were
all
filters
run
in
a
filter­
to­
waste
mode
during
initial
filter
ripening?

S
Were
any
filters
operated
beyond
their
normal
filter
run
time?

S
If
GAC
filters
are
used:
Is
it
possible
the
adsorptive
capacity
of
the
GAC
bed
was
reached
before
reactivation
occurred?

S
If
biological
filtration
is
used:
Were
there
any
process
upsets
that
may
have
resulted
in
breakthrough
of
TOC
(
particularly
biodegradable
TOC)?

°
Were
there
changes
in
plant
flow
that
may
have
resulted
in
an
unusually
high
residence
time
in
the
clearwell
on
the
days
prior
to
the
excursion?

S
For
example,
a
temporary
plant
shutdown.

Planned
Change
or
Maintenance
Activities
for
the
Treatment
Plant
°
Was
there
a
recent
change
(
or
addition)
of
pre­
oxidant?

°
Was
there
any
maintenance
in
the
basin
that
may
have
stirred
sludge
from
the
bottom
of
the
basin
and
caused
it
to
carry
over
to
the
point
of
disinfectant
addition?

°
Did
you
change
the
type
or
manufacturer
of
the
coagulant?

°
Were
there
any
changes
in
disinfection
practices
in
the
days
prior
to
the
excursion?

S
For
example,
a
switch
from
chloramines
to
free
chlorine
for
burnout
period.

S
Discontinuation
of
ozone
which
forms
very
little
TTHM.

°
Was
a
filter(
s)
taken
off­
line
for
an
extended
period
of
time
that
caused
the
other
filters
to
operate
near
maximum
design
capacity
and
creating
the
conditions
for
possible
breakthrough?

°
Were
any
pumps
shut
down
for
maintenance,
leading
to
changes
in
flow
patterns
or
hydraulic
surges?

Conclusions:

Did
a
planned
maintenance
or
operational
activity
in
the
treatment
plant
cause
or
contribute
to
your
significant
excursion(
s)?

Yes
No
X
If
yes,

Planned
Distribution
System
Operations
or
Maintenance
Activities
°
Was
a
tank
drained
for
cleaning
or
other
maintenance?

S
Was
the
tank
drained
to
waste
or
to
the
distribution
system?

S
Was
a
larger
volume
than
normal
drained
to
the
distribution

°
If
booster
disinfection
is
used,
was
the
booster
disinfectant
dose
higher
than
the
normal
booster
disinfectant
dose
for
that
season?

°
Were
there
any
system
maintenance
activities
in
the
days
prior
to
DBP
excursion?
Including:
 
Repairing
mains
or
installing
new
mains
 
Closure
of
valves
to
isolate
sections
of
pipes
°
Were
the
pipes
flushed
properly
or
were
the
appropriate
valves
re­
opened
after
work
was
completed?

°
Did
any
pump
or
pipeline
maintenance
occur
that
would
have
changed
the
flow
pattern
in
the
area
the
sample
was
drawn
from?

S
Change
in
flow
can
cause
water
in
stagnant
areas
to
be
drawn
into
another
area.

°
Did
any
pipeline
replacement
occur?

S
Disinfecting
piping
in
contact
with
drinking
water
could
result
in
a
high
concentration
of
chlorine
entering
the
distribution
system
and
thus
increase
DBPs.

Conclusions:

Did
a
planned
distribution
system
maintenance
or
operational

your
significant

Unplanned

Events
°
Were
there
increases
in
demand
that
caused
older
water
in
storage
tanks
to
be
drawn
into
the

S
Were
there
any

Did
one

more
storage
tank
have
greater

average
drawdown
preceding
the
time
of
DBP
peak
excursion?

°
Were
there
decreases
in

that
resulted
in
longer

system
residence
times?

S
Were
there
any
large
customers

°
If

locked
out
of

for
an
extended
period
and
then
used
preceding
the
time
of

°
Did
changes

demand
cause
a
change
in
water
demand
patterns
in
the
vicinity
of
dead
ends
and/
or
stagnant

°
Were
there
large
variations
in
localized
system
pressures
that
were
different
from
the

that
