Quality and<br />

Treatment<br />

Requirements<br />

times of a<br />

quality that fully<br />

protects public<br />

health<br />

• Projects that<br />

are over an<br />

aquifer<br />

classified as<br />

nonpotable,<br />

where the<br />

design monthly<br />

(deep)<br />

percolation rate<br />

(DMPR) is<br />

greater than 20<br />

percent of the<br />

maximum<br />

monthly<br />

application rate<br />

minus the<br />

DMPR, will be<br />

designated as a<br />

recharge<br />

project<br />

• Projects that<br />

are over an<br />

aquifer<br />

classified as<br />

potable, where<br />

the application<br />

rates exceed<br />

the<br />

consumptive<br />

evapotranspiration<br />

of the<br />

vegetative<br />

cover, will be<br />

designated as a<br />

Reclaimed Water<br />

Monitoring<br />

Requirements<br />

Treatment<br />

Facility Reliability<br />

required for<br />

loss of power,<br />

high water<br />

levels, failure<br />

of pumps or<br />

blowers, high<br />

head loss on<br />

filters, high<br />

effluent<br />

turbidity, loss<br />

of coagulant or<br />

polymer feed,<br />

and loss of<br />

chlorine<br />

residual<br />

• Standby power<br />

source<br />

required for<br />

treatment plant<br />

and<br />

distribution<br />

pump stations<br />

Storage<br />

Requirements<br />

• Storage<br />

requirements<br />

based on<br />

water balance<br />

using at least a<br />

30-year record<br />

• Reject storage<br />

required with a<br />

volume equal<br />

to 1 day of flow<br />

at the average<br />

daily design<br />

flow<br />

• Emergency<br />

system storage<br />

not required<br />

where an<br />

alternate<br />

effluent<br />

disposal<br />

system has<br />

been approved<br />

site size, site<br />

characteristics,<br />

location,<br />

method of<br />

discharge and<br />

other<br />

appropriate<br />

considerations<br />

• One well<br />

upgradient and<br />

two wells<br />

downgradient<br />

for project sites<br />

500 acres or<br />

more<br />

• One well<br />

within the<br />

wetted field<br />

area for each<br />

project whose<br />

surface area is<br />

greater than or<br />

equal to 1500<br />

acres<br />

• One lysimeter<br />

per 200 acres<br />

• One lysimeter<br />

for project sites<br />

that have<br />

greater than 40<br />

but less than<br />

200 acres<br />

• Additional<br />

lysimeters may<br />

be necessary<br />

to address<br />

concerns of<br />

public health or<br />

Setback<br />

Distances<br />

Other<br />

individual case<br />

basis where<br />

the use of<br />

reclaimed<br />

water involves<br />

a potential risk<br />

to public health<br />

• Evaluation<br />

based on all<br />

relevant<br />

aspects of<br />

each project<br />

including<br />

treatment<br />

provided,<br />

effluent quality<br />

and quantity,<br />

effluent or<br />

application<br />

spreading area<br />

operation, soil<br />

characteristics,<br />

hydrogeology,<br />

residence time,<br />

and distance to<br />

withdrawal<br />

• A public<br />

hearing or a<br />

public<br />

referendum is<br />

required for the<br />

DOH to review<br />

a request to<br />

augment a<br />

potable water<br />

supply by<br />

recharging the<br />

potable water<br />
