Under a mandate of national environmental laws, the Agency strives to formulate and implement actions leading to a compatible balance between human activities and the ability of natural systems to support and nurture life. To meet this mandate, EPA's research program is provid- ing data and technical support for solving environmental problems today and building a science knowl- edge base necessary to manage our ecological resources wisely, understand how pollutants affect our health, and prevent or reduce environmental risks in the future. The National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL) is the Agency's center for investigation of technological and management approaches for preventing and reducing risks from pollution that threaten human health and the environment. The focus of the Laboratory's research program is on meth- ods and their cost-effectiveness for prevention and control of pollution to air, land, water, and subsurface resources; protection of water quality in public water systems; remediation of contaminated sites, sedi- ments, and ground water; prevention and control of indoor air pollution; and restoration of ecosystems. NRMRL collaborates with both public and private sector partners to foster technologies that reduce the cost of compliance and to anticipate emerging problems. NRMRL's research provides solutions to envi- ronmental problems by developing and promoting technologies that protect and improve the environment; advancing scientific and engineering information to support regulatory and policy decisions; and provid- ing the technical support and information transfer to ensure implementation of environmental regulations and strategies at the national, state, and community levels. This publication has been produced as part of the Laboratory's strategic long-term research plan. It is published and made available by EPA's Office of Research and Development to assist the user commun- ity and to link researchers with their clients. Sally Gutierrez, Director National Risk Management Research Laboratory in ------- ABSTRACT This report documents the activities performed during and the results obtained from the first six months of the arsenic removal treatment technology demonstration project in Brown City, MI. The objectives of the project are to evaluate the effectiveness of Severn Trent Services (STS) Arsenic Package Unit-300 (APU-300) SORB 33™ media in removing arsenic to meet the new arsenic maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 micrograms per liter (ng/L), the reliability of the treatment system, the simplicity of required system operation and maintenance (O&M) and operator's skills, and the cost-effectiveness of the technology. The project also is characterizing water in the distribution system and process residuals produced by the treatment system. The STS treatment system started up on May 11, 2004, and continued to operate through November 30, 2004 with an average operational time of approximately 4.8 hrs/day or a 20% utilization rate. The design capacity of the treatment system with two APU-300 units in parallel is 640 gallons per minute (gpm). During this time frame, approximately 29,711,000 gallons or 13,096 bed volumes of water were treated. The system continued to operate through the six-month demonstration period with only a few minor repairs and adjustments. The flowrate and pressure data and other operational parameters were within the vendor specifications after a system retrofit that was performed in late April to early May of 2004. The system continues to operate within the vendor equipment specifications. Arsenic in the source water existed primarily as As(III) (i.e., 79% at 11.2 (ig/L), with a small amount also present as As(V) (i.e., 0.8 (ig/L ) and particulate As (i.e., 2.2 (ig/L). Per vendor's recommendations, raw water was fed directly through the adsorption vessels without pre-chlorination to evaluate the capacity of the SORB 33™ media for As(III) adsorption. Over the six-month period, total arsenic concentrations in raw water ranged from 9.5 to 28.7 (ig/L and in treated water from 0.5 to 8.7 (ig/L. In early November, as the treatment system throughput was approach- ing 12,500 bed volumes, a spike up to 8.7 (ig/L of total arsenic was measured in the treated water. How- ever, by November 30, 2005, the total arsenic concentrations dropped to 2.4 to 4.1 (ig/L in the treated water. The treated water remained below 10 (ig/L for approximately 20,000 bed volumes, which will be further discussed in the final evaluation report. Comparison of the distribution system sampling results before and after the operation of the APU-300 system showed a decrease in arsenic concentrations at each of the sampling locations. Total aresnic levels in the distribution system decreased from 7.2 to 13.3 |o,g/L before treatment to 3.0 to 6.1 |o,g/L after treatment. Iron levels decreased to non-detect levels, while manganese levels increased slightly. Lead and copper concentrations did not appear to have been affected by the operation of the system. Four backwash water samples were collected during the first six months of system operation. With the exception of one event, dissolved arsenic concentrations in the backwash water were significantly lower than the raw water and ranged from 4.9 to 9.9 |o,g/L, indicating removal of arsenic by the media during backwash. Soluble iron levels were typically lower than the raw water, while manganese concentrations correlated more closely with the influent concentrations. The capital investment cost of $305,000 includes $218,000 for equipment, $35,500 for site engineering, and $51,500 for installation. Using the system's rated capacity of 640 gpm (921,600 gallons per day [gpd]), the capital cost was $477 per gpm ($0.33 per gpd) and equipment-only cost was $340 per gpm ($0.24 per gpd). These calculations do not include the cost of a building addition to house the treatment system. IV ------- O&M costs included only incremental costs associated with the APU-300 system, such as media replacement and disposal, chemical supply, electricity, and labor. Although not incurred during the first six months of system operation, the media replacement cost would represent the majority of the O&M cost and was estimated to be $53,600 for both APU-300 units (e.g., 320 ft3 of media). This cost was used to estimate the media replacement cost per 1,000 gallons of treated water as a function of the projected media run length to the 10 |o,g/L arsenic breakthrough. O&M costs will be refined once the actual throughput and cost at the time of the media replacement become available. ------- CONTENTS FOREWORD iii ABSTRACT iv FIGURES vii TABLES vii ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS viii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS x 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 Background 1 1.2 Treatment Technologies for Arsenic Removal 1 1.3 Project Objectives 2 2.0 CONCLUSIONS 3 3.0 MATERIALS AND METHODS 5 3.1 General Project Approach 5 3.2 System O&M and Cost Data Collection 6 3.3 Sample Collection Procedures and Schedules 6 3.3.1 Source Water Sample Collection 8 3.3.2 Treatment Plant Water Sample Collection 8 3.3.3 Backwash Water Sample Collection 8 3.3.4 Backwash Solid Sample Collection 8 3.3.5 Distribution System Water Sample Collection 8 3.4 Sampling Logistics 9 3.4.1 Preparation of Arsenic Speciation Kits 9 3.4.2 Preparation of Sampling Coolers 9 3.4.3 Sample Shipping and Handling 9 3.5 Analytical Procedures 9 4.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 11 4.1 Facility Description 11 4.1.1 Existing System 11 4.1.2 Source Water Quality 11 4.1.3 Distribution System 11 4.2 Treatment Process Description 15 4.3 System Installation 17 4.3.1 Permitting 17 4.3.2 Building Construction 19 4.3.3 System Installation, Shakedown, and Startup 19 4.4 System Operation 21 4.4.1 Operational Parameters 21 4.4.2 Backwash 22 4.4.3 Residual Management 22 4.4.4 System/Operation Reliability and Simplicity 22 4.5 System Performance 23 4.5.1 Treatment Plant Sampling 23 4.5.2 Backwash Water Sampling 31 4.5.3 Distribution System Water Sampling 31 VI ------- 4.6 System Costs 34 4.6.1 Capital Costs 34 4.6.2 Operation and Maintenance Costs 35 5.0 REFERENCES 38 APPENDICES APPENDIX A: Operational Data APPENDIX B: Analytical Data FIGURES Figure 4-1.

The staff monitored the treatment system daily and collected samples from the treatment system and distribution system on a regular schedule throughout this reporting period. This performance evaluation would not have been possible without their efforts. ------- 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) mandates that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identify and regulate drinking water contaminants that may have adverse human health effects and that are known or anticipated to occur in public water supply systems. In 1975 under the SDWA, EPA established a maximum contaminant level (MCL) for arsenic (As) at 0.05 mg/L. Amended in 1996, the SDWA required that EPA develop an arsenic research strategy and publish a proposal to revise the arsenic MCL by January 2000. On January 18, 2001, EPA finalized the arsenic MCL at 0.01 mg/L (EPA, 2001). To clarify the implementation of the original rule, EPA revised the rule text on March 25, 2003, to express the MCL as 0.010 mg/L (10 (ig/L) (EPA, 2003). The final rule requires all community and non- transient, non-community water systems to comply with the new standard by January 23, 2006. In October 2001, EPA announced an initiative for additional research and development of cost-effective technologies to help small community water systems (<10,000 customers) meet the new arsenic standard and to provide technical assistance to operators of small systems to reduce compliance costs. As part of this Arsenic Rule Implementation Research Program, EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD) proposed a project to conduct a series of full-scale, on-site demonstrations of arsenic removal technolo- gies, process modifications, and engineering approaches applicable to small systems. Shortly thereafter, an announcement was published in the Federal Register requesting water utilities interested in participat- ing in the first round of this EPA-sponsored demonstration program to provide information on their water systems. In June 2002, EPA selected 17 sites from a list of 115 to be the host sites for the demonstration studies. The water system in Brown City, MI, was selected as one of the 17 Round 1 host sites for the demonstration program. In September 2002, EPA solicited proposals from engineering firms and vendors for cost-effective arsenic removal treatment technologies for the 17 host sites. EPA received 70 technical proposals for the 17 host sites, with each site receiving from one to six proposals. In April 2003, an independent technical review panel reviewed the proposals and provided its recommendations to EPA on the technologies that it deter- mined were acceptable for the demonstration at each site. Because of funding limitations and other tech- nical reasons, only 12 of the 17 sites were selected for the demonstration project. Using the information provided by the review panel, EPA in cooperation with the host sites and the drinking water programs of the respective states, selected one technical proposal for each site. Severn Trent Services' (STS's) arsenic package unit (APU), using the Bay oxide E33 media developed by Bayer AG, was selected for the Brown City, MI facility. STS has given the E33 media the designation "SORB 33™." 1.2 Treatment Technologies for Arsenic Removal The technologies selected for the 12 Round 1 EPA arsenic removal demonstration host sites include nine adsorptive media systems, one anion exchange system, one coagulation/filtration system, and one process modification with iron addition. Table 1-1 summarizes the locations, technologies, vendors, and key source water quality parameters (including arsenic, iron [Fe], and pH) of the 12 demonstration sites. The technology selection and system design for the 12 demonstration sites have been reported in an EPA report (Wang et al., 2004) posted on an EPA Web site (http://www.epa.gov/ORD/NRMRL/arsenic/ resource.htm). ------- Table 1-1.

(c) Iron exists mostly as soluble Fe(II). 1.3 Project Objectives The objective of the Round 1 arsenic demonstration program is to conduct 12 full-scale arsenic treatment technology demonstration studies on the removal of arsenic from drinking water supplies. The specific objectives are to: • Evaluate the performance of the arsenic removal technologies for use on small systems. • Determine the simplicity of required system operation and maintenance (O&M) and operator's skill levels. • Determine the cost-effectiveness of the technologies. • Characterize process residuals produced by the technologies. This report summarizes the results gathered during the first six months of the STS treatment system operation from May 11, 2004 through November 30, 2004. The types of data collected include system operational data, water quality data (both across the treatment train and in the distribution system), residuals characterization data, and capital and preliminary O&M cost data. ------- 2.0 CONCLUSIONS Based on the information collected during the first six months of system operation, the following conclusions were made relating to the overall objectives of the treatment technology demonstration study. Performance of the arsenic removal technology for use on small systems: • By the end of the first six months of system operation, the treatment system treated approximately 29,711,000 gallons of water, which was equivalent to 13,096 bed volumes. During this time period, the As(III) concentration in the treated water increased from 1.9 mg/L on May 25, 2004 to 5.3 (ig/L on November 16, 2004. The arsenic concentrations in the treated water remained below 10 (ig/L after approximately 20,000 bed volumes of total throughput, which will be further discussed in the final evaluation report. Switching from post- to prechlorination would then be implemented to determine the effect of chlorination on arsenic adsorption. • Total iron concentrations varied from 101 to 228 |o,g/L at the influent, and the majority of the iron was present in the soluble form. After 13,096 bed volumes of treated water, the total iron concentrations in the treated water have been well below the detection limit of <25 |o,g/L. • Total manganese concentrations in the treated water were reduced initially, but reached 100% breakthrough after 6,000 bed volumes of water treated. After 6,000 bed volumes, the total manganese levels were slightly higher in the treated water than the influent raw water. Simplicity of required system O&M and operator's skill levels: • Operational issues were experienced during system shakedown related to higher than expected pressure drops across the treatment system. The system was retro- fitted by replacing the 3-inch-diameter pipe with 4-inch-diameter pipe; removing the diaphragm valves, restrictive orifices, and valve controllers; and installing a nested system of fully ported actuated butterfly valves. The flowrate and pressure data and other operational parameters were within the vendor specifications after the system retrofit. • There was no unscheduled downtime during the first six months of operation. • Under normal operating conditions, the skill requirements to operate the system were minimal, with a typical daily demand on the operator of 15 to 20 minutes. Normal operation of the system did not appear to require additional skills beyond those necessary to operate the existing water supply equipment. Process residuals produced by the technology: • Residuals produced by the operation of the treatment system included spent media and backwash water. The media was not exhausted during the first six months of system operation; therefore, the only residual produced was backwash wastewater. ------- Soluble arsenic concentrations in the backwash water ranged from 4.9 to 9.9 |o,g/L. In most cases, arsenic and iron concentrations were lower than those in the raw water (backwash was performed using raw water from the supply wells), indicating some removal of these metals by the media during backwash. Cost-effectiveness of the technology: Using the system's rated capacity of 640 gpm (921,600 gpd), the capital cost was $477 per gpm ($0.33 per gpd) and equipment-only cost was $340 per gpm ($0.24 per gpd). These calculations do not include the cost of a building addition to house the treatment system. The estimated media changeout cost is $53,600 for both APU-300 units. Media changeout did not occur during the first six months of operation. O&M costs will be refined once the actual throughput and cost at the time of the media replacement become available. ------- 3.0 MATERIALS AND METHODS 3.1 General Project Approach Following the pre-demonstration activities summarized in Table 3-1, the performance evaluation study of the STS treatment system began on May 11, 2004. Table 3-2 summarizes the types of data collected and/or considered as part of the technology evaluation process. The overall performance of the system was determined based on its ability to consistently remove arsenic to the target MCL of 10 |o,g/L. This was monitored by collecting biweekly water samples across the treatment train. The reliability of the system was evaluated by tracking the unscheduled system downtime and frequency and extent of repair and replacement. The unscheduled downtime and repair information were recorded by the plant operator on a Repair and Maintenance Log Sheet. Simplicity of the system operation and the level of operator skill required were evaluated based on a combination of quantitative data and qualitative considerations, including any pre-treatment and/or post- treatment requirements, level of system automation, operator skill requirements, task analysis of the preventive maintenance activities, frequency of chemical and/or media handling and inventory requirements, and general knowledge needed for safety requirements and chemical processes. The staffing requirements on the system operation were recorded on a Daily Field Log Sheet. The cost-effectiveness of the system was evaluated based on the capital cost per gpm of design capacity and the O&M cost per 1,000 gallons of water treated. This required tracking capital costs such as equip- ment, engineering, and installation costs, as well as O&M costs for media replacement and disposal, chemical supply, electrical power use, and labor hours. The capital costs have been reported in an EPA report (Chen et al., 2004) posted on an EPA Web site (http://www.epa.gov/ORD/NRMRL/arsenic/ resource.htm). Data on O&M costs were limited to chemicals, electricity, and labor because media replacement did not take place during the six months of system operation. Table 3-1.

Backwash water was sampled and analyzed for its chemical characteristics. 3.2 System O&M and Cost Data Collection The plant operator performed daily, weekly, and monthly system O&M and data collection following the instructions provided by STS and Battelle. On a daily basis, the plant operator recorded system opera- tional data, such as pressure, flowrate, totalizer, and hour meter readings on the Daily Field Log Sheet and conducted visual inspections to ensure normal system operations. In the event of problems, the plant operator contacted the Battelle Study Lead, who then determined if STS should be contacted for trouble- shooting. The plant operator recorded all relevant information on the Repair and Maintenance Log Sheet. On a biweekly basis, the plant operator measured temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) across the treatment train and recorded the data on a Weekly Water Quality Parameters Log Sheet. During the six-month study period, the system was backwashed manually to capture the backwash samples on a 45 day time interval. Capital costs for the STS system consisted of costs for equipment, site engineering, and system installa- tion. The O&M costs consisted primarily of costs for the media replacement and spent media disposal, electricity, chemicals, and labor. The electricity use was tracked before and after plant installation through a comparison of utility bills. Labor hours for various activities, such as the routine system O&M, system troubleshooting and repair, and demonstration-related work, were tracked using an Operator Labor Hour Record. The routine O&M included activities such as filling field logs and performing system inspections as recommended by STS. The demonstration-related work included activities such as performing field measurements, collecting and shipping samples, and communicating with the Battelle Study Lead. The demonstration-related activities were recorded, but not used for the cost analysis. 3.3 Sample Collection Procedures and Schedules To evaluate the performance of the system, samples were collected from the source, treatment plant, dis- tribution system, and adsorptive vessel backwash discharge. Table 3-3 provides the sampling schedules and analytes measured during each sampling event. Specific sampling requirements for analytical ------- Table 3-3.

During the initial visit to the site, one set of source water samples was collected by Battelle for detailed water quality analyses. The source water also was speci- ated for particulate and soluble As, Fe, manganese (Mn), aluminum (Al), and As(III) and As(V). The sample tap was flushed for several minutes before sampling; special care was taken to avoid agitation, which might cause unwanted oxidation. Arsenic speciation kits and containers for water quality samples were prepared as described in Section 3.4. 3.3.2 Treatment Plant Water Sample Collection. During the system performance evaluation study, water samples were collected across the treatment train by the plant operator. Samples were collected biweekly on a four-week cycle. For the first biweekly event, treatment plant samples were collected at five locations (i.e., at the wellhead [IN], after Tank [TA], after Tank B [TB], after Tank C [TC], and after Tank D [TD]) and analyzed for the analytes listed in Table 3-3. For the second biweekly event, treatment plant samples were collected for arsenic speciation at two locations (i.e. at the wellhead [IN] and after the combined effluent [TT]) and also analyzed for the analytes listed in Table 3-3. The sampling frequency was reduced from weekly as stated in the Study Plan to biweekly due to the low water demand and the resulting low volume throughput to the system (Battelle, 2004). 3.3.3 Backwash Water Sample Collection. Four backwash water samples were collected during each event from the sample taps located at the backwash water discharge line from each vessel. Unfil- tered samples were measured on-site for pH using a field pH meter and sent to American Analytical Laboratories (AAL) for total dissolved solids (TDS) and turbidity measurements. Filtered samples using 0.45-(im filters were sent to Battelle's inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) labora- tory for soluble As, Fe, and Mn analyses. Arsenic speciation was not performed for the backwash water samples. 3.3.4 Backwash Solid Sample Collection. Backwash solid samples were not collected in the initial six months of this demonstration. Two to three solid/sludge samples will be collected from the backwash discharge point at the site. A dipper (EPA III-l) or a scoop (EPA II-3) will be used for solid sample collection. The solid/sludge samples will be collected in glass jars and submitted to TCCI Laboratories for Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) tests. 3.3.5 Distribution System Water Sample Collection. Samples were collected from the distribu- tion system to determine the impact of the arsenic treatment system on the water chemistry in the distri- bution system, specifically, lead and copper levels. From December 2003 to January 2004, prior to the startup of the treatment system, four baseline distribution system sampling events were conducted at three locations per sampling event within the distribution system. Following the installation of the arsenic adsorption system, distribution system sampling continued on a monthly basis at the same three locations. Baseline and monthly distribution system samples were collected by the plant operator at three homes that had been included for the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) sampling. The samples were taken following an instruction sheet developed by Battelle according to the Lead and Copper Rule Reporting Guidance for Public Water Systems (EPA, 2002). The first draw sample was collected from a cold-water faucet that had not been used for at least six hours to ensure that stagnant water was sampled. The sampler recorded the date and time of last water use before sampling and the date and time of sample collection for calcula- tion of the stagnation time. The samples were analyzed for the analytes listed in Table 3-3. ------- 3.4 Sampling Logistics All sampling logistics, including arsenic speciation kit preparation, sample cooler preparation, and sample shipping and handling, were performed by Battelle. Relevant procedures were as follows: 3.4.1 Preparation of Arsenic Speciation Kits. The arsenic field speciation method used an anion exchange resin column to separate the soluble arsenic species, As(V) and As(III) (Edwards et al., 1998). Arsenic speciation kits were prepared in batches at Battelle laboratories according to the procedures detailed in Appendix A of the EPA-endorsed QAPP (Battelle, 2003). 3.4.2 Preparation of Sampling Coolers. All sample bottles were new and contained appropriate preservatives. Each sample bottle was taped with a pre-printed, colored-coded, and waterproof label. The sample label consisted of sample identification (ID), date and time of sample collection, sampler initials, sampling location, analysis required, and preservative used. The sample ID consisted of a two- letter code for a specific water facility, the sampling date, a two-letter code for a specific sampling location, and a one-letter code for the specific analysis to be performed. The sampling locations were color-coded for easy identification. Pre-labeled bottles were placed in one of the plastic bags (each corresponding to a specific sampling location) in a sample cooler. When arsenic speciation samples were to be collected, an appropriate number of arsenic speciation kits also were included in the cooler. When appropriate, the sample cooler was packed with bottles for the three distribution system sampling locations and/or the four backwash sampling locations (one for each vessel). In addition, a packet containing all sampling and shipping-related supplies, such as latex gloves, sampling instructions, chain-of-custody forms, prepaid Federal Express air bills, ice packs, and bubble wrap, also was placed in the cooler. Except for the operator's signature and sampling time, the chain-of-custody forms and prepaid Federal Express air bills had already been completed with the required information. The sample coolers were shipped via Federal Express to the facility approximately one week prior to the scheduled sampling date. 3.4.3 Sample Shipping and Handling. After sample collection, samples for off-site analyses were packed carefully in the original coolers with wet ice and shipped to Battelle. Upon receipt, sample custodians verified that all samples indicated on the chain-of-custody forms were included and intact. Sample IDs were checked against the chain-of-custody forms and the samples were logged into the laboratory sample receipt log. Discrepancies, if noted, were addressed by the field sample custodian (usually the plant operator), and the Battelle Study Lead was notified. Samples for water quality analyses by Battelle's subcontract laboratories were packed in coolers at Battelle and picked up by a courier from either AAL (Columbus, OH) or TCCI Laboratories (New Lexington, OH). The samples for arsenic speciation analyses were stored at Battelle's ICP-MS Laboratory. The chain-of-custody forms remained with the samples from the time of preparation through analysis and final disposition. All samples were archived by the appropriate laboratories for the duration of the required hold time and disposed of properly thereafter. 3.5 Analytical Procedures The analytical procedures are described in detail in Section 4.0 of the EPA-endorsed QAPP (Battelle, 2003). Field measurements of pH, temperature, and DO/ORP were conducted by the plant operator using a WTW Multi 340i handheld meter, which was calibrated prior to use following the procedures provided in the user's manual. The plant operator collected a water sample in a 400-mL plastic beaker and placed ------- the Multi 340i probe in the beaker until a stable measured value was reached. The plant operator also performed free and total chlorine measurements using Hach chlorine test kits. Laboratory quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) of all methods followed the guidelines provided in the QAPP (Battelle, 2003). Data quality in terms of precision, accuracy, method detection limit (MDL), and completeness met the criteria established in the QAPP, i.e., relative percent difference (RPD) of 20%, percent recovery of 80 to 120%, and completeness of 80%. The QA data associated with each analyte will be presented and evaluated in a QA/QC Summary Report to be prepared under separate cover and to be shared with the other 11 demonstration sites included in the Round 1 arsenic study. 10 ------- 4.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 4.1 Facility Description The Brown City water treatment system supplies water to 1,334 community members and has 664 service connections. Figure 4-1 shows a map of the present delivery service area of the plant, which is located at the end of Maple Street. Figure 4-2 shows the former pump house at the facility prior to the installation of the two STS APU-300 systems. 4.1.1 Existing System. The water source is groundwater extracted from three wells. However, the water demand is met primarily from Well No. 3 and Well No. 4 (see Figure 4-1 for the locations). Prior to the demonstration study, Well No. 3 was the primary well in operation, running on an intermittent basis for approximately four hours per day. Only Well No. 4 is currently in use for the demonstration study, and Well No 3. is used as an emergency backup well. Well No. 4 is 16-inches in diameter and installed at a depth of approximately 315 ft below ground surface (bgs). The static water level is approximately at 23 to 27 ft bgs. Well No. 4 is equipped with a 75 horsepower (HP) submersible pump rated for approxi- mately 640 gpm at a discharge pressure of 59 pounds per square inch (psi). Figure 4-3 shows the pre-existing piping configuration at Well No. 4 including a pump motor, several pressure gauges, a flow totalizer, and a chlorine addition assembly at the wellhead. The treatment system consisted only of disinfection with a sodium hypochlorite addition assembly that included a day tank and a positive displacement pump. Residual chlorine levels were targeted at 0.3 mg/L for free chlorine (as C12) and 0.4 mg/L for total chlorine (as C12). The treated water was stored in a nearby 200,000 gallon water tower. 4.1.2 Source Water Quality. Source water samples were collected from Well No. 4 on July 24, 2003, and subsequently analyzed for the analytes shown in Table 3-3. The results of the source water analyses, along with those provided by the facility to EPA for the demonstration site selection and those independently collected and analyzed by EPA, are presented in Table 4-1. As shown in Table 4-1, total arsenic concentrations in raw water ranged from 10 to 31 |o,g/L. Based on the July 24, 2003 sampling results, arsenic existed primarily as As(III) (i.e., 79% at 11.2 (ig/L), with a small amount also present as As(V) (i.e., 0.8 |o,g/L ) and particulate As (i.e., 2.2 |o,g/L). During the first six months of system operation, chlorine was added only after the adsorption vessels so that the capacity of the SORB 33™ media for As(III) adsorption might be evaluated. Raw water pH values ranged from 7.3 to 7.5, which was within the STS recommended range of between 6.0 and 8.0. Therefore, pH adjustment was not required. The concentrations of iron (126.7 to 262.5 (ig/L) and manganese (13 to 18.7 (ig/L) in the raw water were below their respective secondary MCLs of 300 (ig/L and 50 (ig/L and sufficiently low so that pre- treatment prior to the adsorption process was not required. The maximum levels of phosphate at <0.1 mg/L and silica at 8.1 mg/L were significantly below the levels having the potential to reduce the overall effectiveness of arsenic adsorption onto the SORB 33™ media. Sulfate levels were relatively elevated at 74 to 128 mg/L and approaching the threshold of 150 mg/L, above which the sulfate anions may compete with arsenic for available adsorption sites onto the SORB 33™ media. 4.1.3 Distribution System. The Brown City distribution system is supplied primarily by two wells (Well No. 3 and Well No. 4). Well No. 4 is the designated well for the full duration of the arsenic removal demonstration study. Well No. 3 is currently the emergency backup well and has been operated 11 ------- Figure 4-1. Map of the Brown City Service Area ------- Figure 4-2.

The well pumps are activated by pressure sensors in the water tower, which signals the designated pump to turn on and off when the water level reaches a pre-set low and high setting. As shown in Figure 4-1, the distribution system is constructed primarily of asbestos cement pipe with some ductile iron and plastic piping and water main sizes ranging from 4 to 12 inches in diameter. Table 4-1 provides a summary of the treated water quality from historic samples at several locations within the distribution system. In addition, based on the June 1998 to September 2000 monitor- ing results, the 90th percentile concentrations for lead and copper were 6 |o,g/L and 150 |o,g/L, respectively, which were below the respective action levels of 15 |o,g/L and 1,300 |o,g/L. 4.2 Treatment Process Description The STS APU is designed for arsenic removal for small systems with flowrates greater than 100 gpm. It uses Bay oxide® E33, an iron-based adsorptive media developed by Bayer AG, for the removal of arsenic from drinking water supplies. Bayoxide® E33 is branded as SORB 33™ by STS. Table 4-2 presents physical and chemical properties of the media. The SORB 33™ media is delivered in a dry crystalline form and has NSF 61 approval for use in drinking water. Table 4-2.

When the media reaches break- through at 10 |o,g/L of arsenic, the spent media is removed and disposed after being subjected to the EPA TCLP test. The Brown City treatment system consists of two APU-300 units arranged in a parallel configuration to meet the design flowrate of 640 gpm (i.e., 320 gpm for each unit). Each APU-300 unit consists of two pressure vessels operating in parallel. The design features of the treatment system are summarized in Table 4-3, and the process schematic is shown in Figure 4-4. A flow diagram along with the sam- pling/analysis schedule are presented in Figure 4-5. Key process components are discussed below: • Adsorption. Each APU-300 unit consists of two 63-inch-diameter, 86-inch-tall vessels configured in parallel, each containing approximately 80 ft3 of SORB 33™ media supported by a gravel underbed. The vessels are fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) construction, rated for 75 psi working pressure, skid mounted, and piped to a valve rack mounted on a polyurethane coated, welded frame. Empty bed contact time (EBCT) for the system is 3.7 minutes. Hydraulic loading to each vessel based on a design flowrate of 320 gpm is approximately 7.3 gpm/ft2. Figure 4-6 shows the two APU-300 units that were installed in a parallel configuration at the Brown City, MI, site. Table 4-3.

Schematic Diagram of an APU-300 Unit at Brown City (After System Retrofit) as Installed in May 2004 • Backwash. STS recommends that the SORB 33™ media be backwashed approximately once every 45 days to loosen up the media bed and remove media fines and/or particles accumulated in the beds. Automatic backwash may be initiated either by timer or by differential pressure across the vessels. Controllers for the backwash system include actuated valves for adsorption, backwash and forward flush (fast rinse) cycles, timers, and pressure sensors. The backwash water is directly discharged into a drainage ditch adjacent to the treatment facility. • Post-chlorination. Sodium hypochlorite is added to the treated water for disinfection. The target residual levels are 0.3 mg/L (as C12) for free chlorine and 0.4 mg/L (as C12) for total chlorine in the distribution system. System Installation The building was completed by the City in early February 2004 and the two STS APU-300 units were installed in March 2004 by a subcontractor to STS. However, hydraulic shakedown and startup activities continued into late April 2004, and the system was retrofitted in early May 2004. 4.3.1 Permitting. Engineering plans for the system permit application were prepared by Boss Engineering, a subcontractor to STS located in Howe 11, MI. The plans included diagrams of and specifications for the treatment system, as well as drawings detailing the connection of the new units to the pre-existing facility infrastructure. After incorporating comments on the plans from STS and Battelle, 17 ------- Monthly pH®, temperature®, DO/ORP®, As (total and soluble), As (III), As (V), Fe (total and soluble), Mn (total and soluble), Ca, Mg, F, N03, S04, SiO2, PO4, turbidity, alkalinity INFLUENT (WELL NO. 4) Brown City, MI Severn Trent APU-300® Technology Design Flow: 640 gpm pH®, temperature®, DO/ORP®, As (total), Fe (total), Mn (total), SiO2, PO4, turbidity, alkalinity pH, IDS, turbidity, As (soluble), Fe (soluble), Mn (soluble) LEGEND Influent Media Vessel Effluent (TA-TD) Total Combined Effluent Backwash Sampling Location Sludge Sampling Location Chlorine Disinfection ^" Process Flow Backwash Flow pH®, temperature®, DO/ORP®, As (total and soluble), As (III), As (V), Fe (total and soluble), Mn (total and soluble), Ca, Mg, F, N03, S04, SiO2, PO4, turbidity, alkalinity Footnote (a) On-site analyses 1 L) r DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM pH®, temperature(a), DO/ORP®, As (total), Fe (total), Mn (total), SiO2, PO4, turbidity, alkalinity Figure 4-5.

MDEQ approved the permit application package on February 11, 2004. The 4.3.2 Building Construction. The City constructed an addition to its existing pump house at Well No. 4 to house the two APU-300 units. The addition is a 28 ft x 28 ft concrete block structure with a 10-ft-wide roll-top metal door and access hatches in the roof for media loading. A photograph of the new structure adjacent to the pre-existing block pump house is shown in Figure 4-7. The scope of work for the building construction included excavation, masonry, carpentry, concrete floor pouring, building trim and painting, and associated heating and electrical work. Also, included in the building construction was installation of an overhead door, roof deck, and roofing, including overhead roof hatches. Building construction started in December of 2003 with the installation of building footers and walls and was completed by February of 2004. 4.3.3 System Installation, Shakedown, and Startup. The two APU-300 units were delivered to the site on February 23, 2004. A subcontractor to STS, off-loaded and installed the system, including piping connections to the existing entry and distribution piping. Installation was completed on March 18, 2004, and the system hydraulic shakedown before media loading was initiated on March 19, 2004. The original system configuration as delivered included several components such as the piping inlet, an auto- matic variable diaphragm valve (to control flow), a strainer, a programmable Fleck valve controller (to switch flow from a service to a backwash mode), an FRP vessel with top diffuser and bottom laterals, a restrictive orifice, and an outlet. This configuration was later modified to a valve-tree configuration, as described below in this subsection, to address pressure loss and flow issues with the APU-300 units. 19 ------- Figure 4-7. New Building at Brown City Adjacent to the Pre-Existing Pump House (on the left) STS began hydraulic testing of the two APU-300 units on March 19, 2004, with no media loaded in the vessels to troubleshoot several issues related to flow restriction, flow imbalance, and excessive pressure losses noted on an identical APU-300 unit installed at Desert Sands Mutual Domestic Water Consumers Association (MDWCA) in Anthony, New Mexico, in December 2003. The Desert Sands MDWCA system had experienced low and imbalanced flow and elevated pressures as described in the Desert Sands MDWCA Six-Month Report (Coonfare et al., 2005). On March 19, 2004, water from Well No. 4 was pumped through the two empty APU-300 units with flowrates ranging from 105 to 115 gpm per vessel, which were well below the design flowrate of 160 gpm. The corresponding pressure losses at this flowrate were 7 to 8 psi across each empty vessel and 24 to 26 psi across the entire system. These results suggested that the system components and plumbing most likely were the sources of the high pressure losses. To address these issues, STS performed a series of systematic hydraulic tests at its Torrance, CA, fabrication shop and at the Brown City, MI, site. A summary of the hydraulic test results are provided in the Six-Month Report on the Deserts Sands MDWCA performance evaluation study (Coonfare et al., 2005). The results of the Brown City testing performed on April 6, 2004, showed that, after removing the restrictive orifice, strainer, and top diffuser, pressure losses were observed across the variable diaphragm valve (from 80 to 71 psi) and valve controller and bottom laterals (from 71 to 58 psi). These results were consistent with those observed during testing at Torrance, CA, except for the 1-psi loss (from 44 to 43 psi) across the variable diaphragm valve. The results of the Brown City, MI, and Torrance, CA, testing were further confirmed during a separate test in Torrance, CA, on April 14, 2004. It was, therefore, evident that the main sources of the pressure losses were the valve controller and restrictive orifice. Upon completion of the hydraulic testing, STS recommended retrofitting the system. 20 ------- STS developed a revised plumbing design, which included replacing the 3-inch-diameter pipe with 4-inch-diameter pipe; removing the diaphragm valves, restrictive orifices, and valve controllers; and installing a nested system of fully ported actuated butterfly valves and a new control panel. STS com- pleted the system retrofit of the two APU-300 units, and the media was loaded on May 5, 2004. On May 7, 2004, STS conducted operator training for system operations and Battelle conducted operator training for system sampling and data collection. Water samples were taken from the vessels on May 10, 2004, and the system passed the coliform test. The performance evaluation study officially began on May 11,2004. 4.4 System Operation 4.4.1 Operational Parameters. The operational parameters of the system are tabulated and attached as Appendix A. Key parameters are summarized in Table 4-4. The plant operations were initiated on May 11, 2004, and continued through November 30, 2004. Table 4-4.

Also note that the underbedding in each vessel was 15 ft and that the free boards in Vessels A, B, C, and D were 16, 14, 16, and 16 inches, respectively. (b) Actual bed volumes may vary due to malfunction of flowmeter noted on November 20, 2004. NA = not applicable. An hour meter was installed on June 7, 2004. From June 7 to November 30, 2004, Well No. 4 operated for 843.7 total hours based on the well pump hour meter readings, which is equal to an average daily operating time of 4.8 hrs per day. This operating time represented a utilization rate of approximately 20% over that time period. The water demand was only slightly higher in the summer, with an average operat- ing time of 5.5 hrs/day from June to August compared to 4.1 hrs/day from September to November. The total system throughput from May 11 to November 30, 2004, was approximately 29,711,000 gallons based on the digital flow totalizer readings from the APU-300 units. This corresponds to 13,096 bed volumes of water processed through the entire system. Based on the readings for the individual vessels, the throughput values were 8,000, 7,756, 6,925, and 7,030 kilogallons through Vessels A, B, C, and D, respectively (or 14,106, 13,674, 12,210, and 12,395 BV, respectively). The variance was due largely to the minor flow discrepancy between the vessels as described below. 21 ------- The average flowrates through the vessels ranged from 148 to 165 gpm, which corresponded well with the 160 gpm design flowrate for each vessel. There was a slight imbalance in flow between Unit 1 (A/B) and Unit 2 (C/D). As a result, the EBCT for the vessels in Unit 1 averaged 3.5 minutes and in Unit 2 averaged 3.8 minutes, both of which were very close to the target value of 3.7 minutes. Although, the flowrate difference primarily accounted for the variance in bed volumes of water treated, another contributing factor was the malfunction of the flow totalizer/meter on Vessel C on November 20, 2004 (see Section 4.4.4). Since the commencement of system operations on May 11, 2004, the differential pressure across each adsorption vessel varied from 1.0 to 5.0 psi and remained low throughout the six-month duration of system operations. The pressure drop across each APU-300 unit was low, ranging from 2 to 10 psi. No significant pressure related problems were noted, with the exception of malfunctioning of the differential pressure gauge on Vessel A, which was replaced on July 21, 2004. 4.4.2 Backwash. STS recommended that the SORB 33™ media be backwashed manually or automatically approximately once per month to loosen up the media bed and remove media fines and particles accumulated in the beds. Automatic backwash could be initiated either by timer or by differential pressure in the vessels. Although the automatic backwash was set for every 45 days or when the pressure drop across an adsorp- tion vessel exceeded 10 psi, backwash events were all initiated manually to facilitate backwash water sampling and to allow observation of the backwash events. Also, backwash was never automatically triggered because the differential pressure across each adsorption vessel never exceeded the 10 psi setpoint during this time period. Backwash was initiated manually four times on June 15, July 28, September 9, and October 22, 2004, during the six months of system operations. Backwash was per- formed at approximately 200 gpm, or 9.2 gpm/ft2, as set by STS using the manual valves on the backwash discharge line from each unit. Based on the backwash logs, the backwash flowrates for all four vessels ranged from 190 to 229 gpm. Each backwash event lasted for 20 minutes, followed by a four-minute rinse, producing approximately 4,800 gallons of wastewater per vessel during each backwash event. Based on the backwash logs, the amount of backwash water produced ranged from 3,900 to 6,100 gallons per vessel. An operational issue arose during backwash on October 22, 2004. Tank B did not go into fast rinse and the operator had to manually adjust the valve to put the system back into service. The valve problem was addressed by STS on December 2, 2004, by the repair of a loose limit switch. All four vessels were then backwashed. The backwash water and treatment plant water samples taken after October 22, 2004, appear to have been impacted by the valve problem (see Sections 4.5.2) and Battelle will continue to monitor and assess the impact of this operational issue on the system performance. Note that backwash- ing problems can potentially impact system performance through mechanisms such as media loss, bed disturbance (such as short circuiting), and/or improper flow patterns. 4.4.3 Residual Management. Residuals produced by the treatment system included spent media and backwash water. The media was not exhausted during the first six months of system operation; therefore, the only residual produced was backwash water. Aboveground piping for backwash water from both APU-300 units is combined before extending outside the building. The pipe emerges from the build- ing and then discharges after an air gap into a small subsurface concrete vault and discharges via an underground pipe to a nearby drainage ditch. 4.4.4 System/Operation Reliability and Simplicity. After the system retrofit, no major opera- tional problems were encountered. The only O&M issues encountered were the temporary failure of a digital flow meter, the failure of a differential pressure gauge, and a loose switch on an automatic valve. 22 ------- Neither scheduled nor unscheduled downtime had been required since the completion of the system retrofit. The simplicity of system operation and operator skill requirements are discussed according to pre- and post-treatment requirements, levels of system automation, operator skill requirements, preventa- tive maintenance activities, and frequency of chemical/media handling and inventory requirements. Pre- and Post-Treatment Requirements. Pre-treatment was not implemented at the site in order to evaluate the capacity of the SORB 33™ media for As(III). Post-treatment consisted only of disinfection with the pre-existing sodium hypochlorite chemical feed system. When arsenic reaches breakthrough, pre-chlorination will be initiated to extend the media life. System Automation. All major functions of the treatment system are automated and it requires only minimal operator oversight and intervention. Automated processes include system startup in the forward feed mode when the well energizes, backwash cycling based on time or pressure triggers, fast rinse cycling, and system shutdown when the well pump shuts down. Operator Skill Requirements. Under normal operating conditions, the skill set required to operate the treatment system was basic and limited to observation of the process equipment integrity and operating parameters such as pressure, flow, and system alarms. The process logic controller (PLC) interface was intuitive, and all major system operations were automated as described above. The daily demand on the operator was 30 minutes to allow the operator to visually inspect the system and record the operating parameters on the log sheets. Preventative Maintenance Activities. Preventative maintenance tasks recommended by STS included monthly inspection of the control panel; quarterly checking and calibration of the flow meters; biannual inspection of the actuator housings, fuses, relays, and pressure gauges; and annual inspection of the butterfly valves. STS recommended checking the actuators at each backwash event to ensure that the valves were opening and closing in the proper sequence. Further, inspection of the adsorber laterals and replacement of the underbedding gravel were recommended to be performed concurrent with the media replacement (STS, 2004). During this reporting period, maintenance activities performed by the operator included cleaning and repairing the flow meter paddle wheels, replacing one differential pressure gauge, and replacing plastic pressure line fittings/elbows on sampling taps. Maintenance also was required on an automated valve to repair a loose limit switch. This repair was made by STS and beyond routine maintenance activities that could be performed by the operator. Chemical/Media Handling and Inventory Requirements. Pre-chlorination was not implemented at this site. Therefore, chemical use and/or media handling was not required during the first six months of system operations. 4.5 System Performance The performance of the treatment system was evaluated based on analyses of water samples collected from the treatment plant, backwash discharge lines, and distribution system. 4.5.1 Treatment Plant Sampling. Water samples were collected at six locations through the treatment train: at the inlet (IN), after Vessels A, B, C, and D (TA, TB, TC, and TD), and at the combined effluent (TT). Field-speciated samples from the IN and TT locations were collected once every four weeks throughout this reporting period. Table 4-5 summarizes the arsenic, iron, and manganese analytical results. Table 4-6 summarizes the results of other water quality parameters. Appendix B contains a complete set of analytical results through the first six months of system operations. The results of the water samples collected throughout the treatment plant are discussed below. 23 ------- Table 4-5.

(b) Field duplicate samples were included in the calculations except for field parameters (pH, temperature, DO, and ORP). Arsenic. The key parameter for evaluating the effectiveness of the SORB 33™ media was the concen- tration of arsenic in the treated water. The treatment plant water was sampled on 15 occasions during the first six months of system operations, with field speciation performed on samples collected from the IN and TT locations for 7 of the 15 sampling occasions. Figure 4-8 shows the arsenic speciation results overtime including the concentrations of total As, particulate As, As(III), and As(V) at the IN and TT locations. Total arsenic concentrations in raw water ranged from 9.5 to 28.7 |o,g/L and averaged 15.0 |o,g/L (Table 4-5). As(III) was the predominant species in the raw water, ranging from 9.0 to 14.2 |o,g/L and averaging 12.4 |og/L. Only trace amounts of particulate As and As(V) existed, with concentrations averaging 0.8 and 0.6 |og/L, respectively. The arsenic concentrations measured during this six-month period were consistent with those in the raw water sample collected on July 24, 2003 (Table 4-1). Total As concentrations in the combined effluent (TT) ranged from 0.7 to 7.1 |o,g/L and averaged 2.8 |o,g/L (Table 4-5). As(III) levels in the combined effluent ranged from 0.5 to 5.3 (ig/L. The average particulate and As(V) concentrations in the combined effluent were relatively low at 0.3 and 0.6 |o,g/L, respectively. 26 ------- Arsenic Species at the Inlet (IN) at Brown City, Ml 16 - 14 - 12 - _i "5) 3. o 10 - 1 c 0> o 8- 0 O 4 6- 4 - 2 - B 5/25/2004 6/24/2004 7/20/2004 8/17/2004 9/14/2004 10/12/2004 Date DAs (participate) • As (V) 11/16/2004 18 Arsenic Species After Tanks Combined (TT) at Brown City, Ml 16 - 10 - 6 - 2 - 5/25/2004 6/24/2004 7/20/2004 8/17/2004 9/14/2004 10/12/2004 11/16/2004 Date Figure 4-8. Concentrations of Arsenic Species at the Influent and Combined System Effluent 27 ------- The increase of the As(III) concentration in the combined effluent (TT) from 1.9 |o,g/L on May 25, 2004, to 5.3 (ig/L on November 16, 2004, indicated that SORB 33™ media might be reaching its capacity for As(III) adsorption (see Figure 4-8). Although the total arsenic levels in the effluent of the system have increased gradually overtime, a spike up to 8.7 (ig/L of total arsenic was measured in the treated water in early November, as the treatment system throughput was approaching 12,500 bed volume (see Figure 4-9). However by November 30, 2005, the total arsenic concentrations had decreased to 2.4 to 4.1 (ig/L in the treated water and remained below 10 (ig/L for approximately 20,000 bed volume, which will be further discussed in the final evaluation report. By the end of the first six months of system operation, the APU-300 system treated approximately 29,711,000 gallons of water, which was equivalent to 13,096 bed volumes. The results of the total arsenic analyses at each sampling location are plotted against the bed volumes of treated water in Figure 4-9. For the first six months of system operation, the treatment system removed arsenic from the influent water to levels below the 10 |o,g/L level. However, the plot shows the gradual increase in total arsenic concentrations in the treated water over time.

Total Arsenic Concentration Versus Bed Volumes Iron. Total iron concentrations in raw water varied from 101 to 228 |o,g/L, which existed primarily in the soluble form ranging from 99 to 139 |o,g/L (see Table 4-5). Figure 4-10 shows that the total iron concen- trations in the treated water were below the detection limit of <25 |o,g/L with the exception of September 14, 2004, when the total iron effluent level was 35 ng/L. This data indicated that mechanisms may exist for the removal of soluble iron within the SORB 33™ media bed, which will be further discussed in the final evaluation report. 28 ------- Total Iron Results for Brown City, Ml 0 3 6 9 12 15 Bed Volumes of Water Treated (*103) Note: One-half of the detection limit was used for plotting the less-than-detect data points.

Concentrations of Manganese Species Versus Time 30 ------- but reached 100% breakthrough with about 6,000 bed volumes of water treated. The soluble manganese levels were initially lower in the treated water than those in the raw water until breakthrough at about 6,000 bed volumes. After this point, the soluble manganese levels in the treated water were higher than those in the raw water. The mechanisms responsible for the manganese removal during the first 6,000 bed volumes of treatment are unclear. Other Water Quality Parameters. In addition to arsenic, iron, and manganese, other water quality parameters were analyzed to provide insight into the chemical processes occurring within the treatment system. The results of the water quality parameters are included in Appendix B and are summarized in Table 4-6. On-site measurements of pH remained consistent at all sampling locations, with average values ranging from 7.8 to 8.0 across the treatment train. Average alkalinity results ranged from 229 to 240 mg/L (as CaCO3) across the treatment train. The average value of total hardness was 92 mg/L (as CaCO3) in raw water and 99 mg/L (as CaCO3) in the treated water. The samples had predominantly calcium hardness (approximately 5 9% to 77%). Fluoride concentrations ranged from 1.3 to 3.3 mg/L in all samples and were not affected by the SORB 33™ media. Sulfate concentrations ranged from 54 to 120 mg/L at the system influent and 73 to 120 mg/L at the effluent. In 5 out of 7 events, the sulfate levels were higher in the effluent than the influent. Orthophosphate was below the detection limit in all samples. The average silica (as SiO2) concentrations across the treatment train ranged from 7.1 to 8.9 mg/L. Silica was partially removed by the SORB 33™ media, with the amount of removal declining significantly after approximately 2,000 BV. DO levels ranged from 1.0 to 2.5 in the raw water, with an average value of 1.9 mg/L. The DO levels ranged from 0.7 to 1.9 mg/L in the treated water, with an average value of 1.5 mg/L. The DO levels were not affected by the media. The average ORP readings across the treatment train ranged from 26 to 33 millivolts. The ORP readings showed an increasing trend overtime. 4.5.2 Backwash Water Sampling. Backwash was performed one vessel at a time using raw water. The analytical results from the four backwash water sampling events are summarized in Table 4-7. Samples were collected from the sample ports located in the backwash effluent discharge lines from each vessel. Unfiltered samples were analyzed for pH, turbidity, and TDS. Filtered samples (using 0.45-|om disc filters) were analyzed for soluble As, Fe, and Mn. Soluble concentrations measured during the first three backwash events ranged from 4.9 to 9.9 |o,g/L for arsenic and <25 to 60 |o,g/L for iron, suggesting removal during backwash. On October 22, 2004, the backwash on Vessel B malfunctioned, and Vessel B did not go into the fast rinse mode. The results from the October 22, 2004 backwash samples on Vessels B, C, and D had relatively elevated levels of soluble Fe and As. The arsenic levels ranged from 15.6 to 19.5 ng/L, close to the influent values. However, there was no change in the manganese levels. As discussed in Section 4.4.2, the backwash problem was caused by a malfunctioning valve that was repaired on December 2, 2004. The system backwash will be carefully monitored to assess the effect of the malfunction on the system performance in both the feed and backwash modes. 4.5.3 Distribution System Water Sampling. Distribution system samples were collected to determine if the arsenic removal system had any impact on the lead and copper level and water chemistry in the distribution system. Prior to the installation and operation of the system, baseline distribution water samples were collected at three locations on December 4 and 18, 2003, and January 8 and 21, 2004. Following the installation of the system, distribution water sampling continued on a monthly basis at the same three locations on June 15, July 13, August 10, September 8, October 5, and November 2, 2004. The samples were analyzed for pH, alkalinity, arsenic, iron, manganese, lead, and copper. The results of the distribution system sampling are summarized in Table 4-8. 31 ------- Table 4-7.

Arsenic concentrations in the baseline samples ranged from 7.2 to 13.3 ng/L, whereas the concentrations measured since the treatment system was started ranged from 3.0 to 6.1 ng/L. The arsenic concentrations measured during system operation were lower than the baseline values, but typically higher than the system effluent results. There also was a slight increasing trend in arsenic concentration over time within the distribution system, corresponding to the increasing concentrations in the treated water over time. Measured pH values in the distribution system ranged from 7.3 to 8.2 before treatment and 7.6 to 8.1 after treatment. Alkalinity levels in the distribution system ranged from 244 to 282 mg/L (as CaCO3) before treatment and 232 to 263 (as CaCO3) after treatment. Iron concentrations ranged from <25 to 95 |o,g/L before treatment and <25 |o,g/L after treatment. The iron concentrations in the distribution system samples decreased since the treatment system began operation. The concentrations of manganese in the distribu- tion system samples ranged from 4.1 to 10.2 |o,g/L before treatment. Manganese levels appeared to have decreased initially after the initiation of the system operations, but have since increased to above baseline levels at 10.2 to 17.8 |o,g/L in the November 2, 2004, samples. Lead levels in the distribution system ranged from <0.1 to 2.7 |o,g/L, with no samples exceeding the action level of 15 |og/L. Lead levels in the distribution system did not appear to have been affected by the treat- ment. Copper concentrations in the distribution system ranged from 44.6 to 242.1 |o,g/L before treatment, with no samples exceeding the 1,300 |o,g/L action level. Copper concentrations in the distribution system ranged from 4.9 to 94.8 |o,g/L after treatment and were generally lower than those before treatment. 4.6 System Costs The cost-effectiveness of the system was evaluated based on the capital cost per gpm (or gpd) of design capacity and the O&M cost per 1,000 gallons of water treated. This included capital costs such as equipment, engineering, and installation and O&M costs such as media replacement and disposal, chemical supply, electrical power use, and labor. 4.6.1 Capital Costs. The capital investment costs for equipment, site engineering, and installation were $305,000 (see Table 4-9). The equipment costs included the costs for the two skid-mounted APU- 300 units ($144,400), SORB 33™ media ($150/ft3 or $5.34/lb to fill four vessels with a total cost of $48,000), miscellaneous materials and supplies ($3,400), and vendor's labor and travel ($22,200) for the system shakedown and startup activities. The equipment costs are 71% of the total capital investment. The engineering costs included the costs for the design work necessary to develop the final system layout and footprint within the building, design of the piping connections up to the distribution tie-in points in the building, and the design of the electrical connection and conduit plan. The engineering costs also included the cost for the submission of the plans to the MDEQ for permit review and approval. Engineering costs amounted to $35,500 or 12% of the total capital investment. The installation costs included the cost for labor, equipment, and materials to unload and install the skid- mounted units, perform the piping tie-ins and electrical work, and load and backwash the media. All of the piping tie-ins were completed using ductile iron pipe, valves, and fittings. Installation costs were $51,500 or 17% of the total capital investment. 34 ------- Table 4-9.

These calculations assumed that the system operated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at the system design flowrate of 640 gpm. The system typically operated only 4.8 hrs/day, producing 29,711,000 gallons of water during the 6-month period, so at this rate of usage the total unit cost and equipment-only unit cost would increase to $0.38/1,000 gallon and $0.27/1,000 gallon, respectively. Using the system's rated capacity of 640 gpm (921,600 gallons per day [gpd]), the capital cost was $477 per gpm ($0.33 per gpd) and equipment-only cost was $340 per gpm ($0.24 per gpd). These calculations did not include the building construction cost. The total cost for the addition to the existing concrete block well house was $62,602. The primary con- struction costs totaled $41,468 and included excavation, masonry, carpentry, and concrete floor pouring. The overhead door cost was $1,400. The building costs also included $13,048 for the roof deck work and roofing, including the overhead roof hatches. The building was finished with a wood and aluminum trim and painted white. The cost for painting was $2,135, and the heating and electrical work for the building totaled $4,550. 4.6.2 Operation and Maintenance Costs. O&M costs included only incremental costs associated with the two APU-300 units, such as media replacement and disposal, chemical supply, electricity, and labor. These costs are summarized in Table 4-10. Because media replacement and disposal did not take place during the first six months of operation, its cost per 1,000 gallons of water treated was calculated as a function of projected media run length using the vendor-estimate of $53,600 for media replacement for all four vessels. This replacement cost included costs for new media, freight, labor, travel expenses, and media profiling and disposal fee. At the vendor-estimated media capacity of 80,000 BV for As(V) or a throughput of 192 million gallons (See Table 4-4), the media replacement cost is projected to be $0.28/1,000 gallons (Figure 4-13). This cost, however, will be refined once the actual breakthrough occurs and the cost of media replacement becomes available. 35 ------- $2.00 $1.90 $1.80 $1.10 $1.00 ~ $0.90 $0.10 $0.00 ^—O&M cost • Media replacement cost 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 Media Working Capacity, Bed Volumes (X1000) Figure 4-13.

The point of chlorination will be moved before the treatment system, however, when the effluent arsenic level reaches breakthrough. This change could result in an increase in chlorine because of a change in the chlorine demand of the source water. The incremental electrical power consumption also was reviewed. From May to November of 2003, the utility bill totaled $2,610.45 before the treatment plant was installed. From May to November of 2004, the utility bill totaled $4,770.50 after the treatment plant was installed and operational. The incremental utility cost over running the well alone before treatment is approximately $10.64/day or an additional 131 kilowatt hours (KWh) each day at $0.0812 per KWh. This increased usage may be due to the increased total dynamic head on the well pump, but it is also related to the installation of a heater/air conditioner unit in the building to maintain the building's temperature. The total cost of electricity was approximately $0.16/1000 gallons, and the incremental cost over the before-treatment cost was $0.07/1000 gallons. The routine, non-demonstration related labor activities consume only 30 minutes per day, as noted in Section 4.4.4. The labor cost was $0.05/1,000 gallons of water treated based on this time commitment and a labor rate of $15/hr. 37 ------- 5.0 REFERENCES Battelle. 2003.
