Description:
This Technology Transfer Summary Report summarizes the results of an ongoing project to evaluate the utility of the Composite Correction Program (CCP) approach to improving the performance of drinking water treatment facilities. The CCP approach, which has already proven successful when applied to wastewater treatment plants, is described and the results of evaluating it at 13 drinking water plants are summarized. The 13 case studies focus on the potential for the CCP approach to improve the performance of small drinking water systems in meeting the turbidity removal requirements of the Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR). The CCP approach is still under development. The end product of this project will be a publication that describes the redefined CCP approach and allows it to be applied by others. The CCP approach is another tool that federal, state, or local regulators, technical personnel, and consultants familiar with the procedure can use to identify and correct factors that limit a plants performance.
