Where phosphate treatment is used, provisions <strong>for</strong> disinfecting thewater must be provided.2. Feeding equipment shall con<strong>for</strong>m to the requirements of Chapter 5of this document.3. Stock phosphate solution must be kept covered and disinfected bycarrying approximately 10 milligrams per liter free chlorineresidual.4. Polyphosphates shall not be applied ahead of iron and manganeseremoval treatment. <strong>The</strong> point of application shall be prior to anyaeration, oxidation, or disinfection if no iron or manganeseremoval treatment is provided.5. Phosphate chemicals must be acceptable to the department.g. Sequestration by sodium silicates.1. Sodium silicate sequestration of iron and manganese is appropriateonly to groundwater supplies prior to air contact. On-site pilottests are required to determine the suitability of sodium silicate <strong>for</strong>the particular water and the minimum dose needed. Chlorinationmust precede the introduction of sodium silicate. Addition ofsodium silicate must be within 15 seconds after the addition ofchlorine.2. Sodium Silicate addition is applicable to waters containing up to 2mg/L of iron, manganese or combination thereof.3. Equipment must be provided so that chlorine residuals can bemaintained throughout the distribution system to prevent biologicalbreakdown of the sequestered iron.4. <strong>The</strong> amount of silicate added shall be limited to 20 mg/L as Si0 2 ,but the amount of added and naturally occurring silicate shall notexceed 60 mg/L as Si0 2 .5. Feeding equipment shall con<strong>for</strong>m to the requirements of Chapter 5of this document.6. Sodium silicate shall not be applied ahead of iron or manganeseremoval treatment.7. Quality of sodium silicate must be acceptable to the department.4.8. Control of Organic Contamination.Controlling organic contamination is an area of design that requires pilot studiesand early consultation with the department. Where treatment is proposed, the bestavailable technology shall be provided to reduce organic contaminants to the lowestpractical levels.4.8.1 Engineering Report.Except <strong>for</strong> temporary, emergency treatment conditions, particular attentionshall be given to developing an engineering report that, in addition to thenormal determinations in section 1.1, includes the following:Aug. 29, 2003Page 80
