| Abstract |
In 1996, the Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water (OGWDW) of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was interested in developing a simple guidance that could be used by regulators, small water systems, and their engineers to aid in initially determining what treatment approaches for lead and copper control would have the best chance of success. The original document, Guidance Manual for Selecting Lead and Copper Control Strategies, was prepared in January of 1997. In the five years since the completion of the manual, many water systems have successfully employed corrosion control treatment to achieve compliance with the Lead and Copper Rule. However, the information in the manual is still timely and relevant, because some systems still have difficulty in sufficiently reducing lead and copper corrosion, and other systems may need to change water treatment approaches because of other regulatory issues or changes in water sources. In particular, groundwater systems in the midwest with neutral pH value, high hardness, and high alkalinity water have had difficulty meeting the copper action level. Thus, corrosion control for lead and copper has been revisited in the context of these considerations. The manual has been updated with: o Information on aeration and limestone contactors for corrosion control; o The most successful treatments for copper corrosion control in high alkalinity/high dissolved inorganic carbonate (DIC) waters; o Tradeoffs of corrosion control with iron and manganese removal; and o Considerations for corrosion control in light of the new (1994) water quality based standards for wastewater treatment. |
