Removal
(Step
2)—March 3,2003
and March
12, 2003
Dear Mr.
Rhodes:
We have viewed the
May 20, 2004
letter from Lake Of Egypt, which
is
a request
for a Step 2
TOC
removal
percentage.
The information
submitted
indicates the Step
2
percentage should
be 29.73.
This
can
be applied retroactively
to January
I, 2003
and this point
forward.
It
cannot
be used
for 2002 since
12
months TOG data was
not collected
in 2001
as required
by
35111.
Adm.
Code Section
61 l.383d.
Finished
water
SUVA cannot be established if the
water contains an
oxidant
such
as chlorine.
If the
treated
water contains
an oxidant,
SUVA
must
be established
by
jar testing
with
no
oxidants added.
The water sample for SUVA testing must be collected
at the same time and point that
TOC
samples
are
taken
in order to be considered an alternative compliance
standard.
Again,
the finished water SUVA
sample must be free of oxidants
For
future
testing
it
recommended that
Step
2 jar testing coagulant doses
include
I OmgIL, 20
mg/L,
30
mg/L,
and 4OmgIL, alum.
Should
you have any questions
in
regard
to
this
determination,
please contact Liam McDonnell
at
the
referenced telephone number.
Any
questions
regarding the
cornp1iance
aspects of
this
determination
should
be directed to
Mary Reed at 217/782-9720.
