				  Any modified monitoring shall be conducted pursuant to a schedule specified by
				  the Department and acceptable to the EPA.

Alabama Administrative Code › Title 335 - ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT › WATER DIVISION - WATER SUPPLY PROGRAM › Chapter 335-7-4 - PERMIT REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES › Section 335-7-4-.12 - Segmental Water System Requirements

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
A consecutive system can be designated as a segmental water
				  system if it contains no pumping facilities or water storage tanks, and
				  consists primarily of plumbing instead of distribution lines. This facility,
				  such as an apartment complex or shopping center, must obtain water from a
				  permitted public water system whose actions, activities, reports, and
				  monitoring meets all State and Federal Standards and are sufficient to ensure
				  that a proper quality of water is made available to the customers of the
				  segmental system during all times of normal operation.
(a) Segmental water systems are not required
				to maintain a valid Water Supply Permit nor routinely collect water quality
				samples. However, water quality monitoring may be required by the Department if
				the quality of water being supplied by the parent water system does not meet
				drinking water standards, there is a high potential for the water to not meet
				drinking water standards, or if the parent water system fails to monitor water
				quality.
(b) Segmental Water
				Systems are subject to inspection and records review by ADEM staff after a
				10-day intent notice is provided to the responsible operator or
				manager.

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
In addition to an aquifer test, all community and NTNC water
				  supply wells shall be tested for yield, drawdown and recovery before being
				  approved for use. The test method shall be clearly outlined in the engineering
				  specifications for the project. The test pumping procedure must be continuous
				  with adequate provisions taken to prevent disruption of the test. The length of
				  the test shall be dependent on the clarity of the water, the amount of sand, or
				  other material produced, and the fluctuation of the water level. During the
				  pumping test, the water level shall not be lowered to the top of the uppermost
				  water bearing formation used. A copy of all available information from the
				  capacity test shall be forwarded to the Department for review.
(a) The capacity test for community system
				wells shall be conducted as follows:
1. The
				well shall be pumped at the design capacity until the water level has
				stabilized (+/- 1.0 foot),
2. After
				stabilization has occurred, the well shall be pumped for 24 hours with water
				level readings collected at regular intervals,
3. After the water level in the well has been
				stabilized at the design capacity for 24 hours, the pumping rate shall be
				increased to 150% of the design capacity,
4. Once the water level is stabilized the
				well shall be pumped for six hours with the water level recorded at regular
				time intervals, and
5. At the end
				of the six hour period the well pump shall be turned off and the water levels
				shall be recorded until the pre-test water level is obtained.
