EXHIBIT A REVERSE OSMOSIS WITH SLOWSAND PRETREATMENT PILOT WATER TREATMENT STUDY Project Tasks Introduction This study is part of the SARWMS (Southern Arizona Regional Water Management Study) evaluation of CAP treatment processes to meet all primary and secondary drinking water standards. This Study is also part of Reclamation's mission to evaluate, improve, and reduce the cost of desalting and other advanced water treatment technologies for the benefit of the water treatment industry, water utilities, and water users. In this Study, SARWMS and Reclamation explore treatment of Colorado River water that is conveyed by Reclamation's CAP. Treatment alternatives include conventional treatment, slowsand filtration, and microfiltration (MF) or ultrafiltration (UF). Enhanced treatement alternatives include the above treatments followed by low-pressure reverse osmosis (RO). With enhanced treatment, CAP water with a TDS of 700 mg/L would be treated to meet both the required USEPA primary drinking water standards and the recommended USEPA secondary drinking water standards. TOC levels are also greatly reduced so that low disinfection byproduct levels can be achieved using either chlorine or chloramine disinfection. The Study evaluates costs and effectiveness of available treatment technologies. Because information on the effectiveness of conventional treatment, MF, and UF is available from other tests, the pilot tests in this Study focus on the effectiveness of slowsand filtration. The pilot tests address the effectiveness of slowsand filtration with respect to the following questions: 1. How effective is slowsand filtration as a pretreatment to RO? Specifically, does a slowsand pilot system provide adequate removal of particulates that foul RO membranes and reduce RO productivity? 2. Because TOC levels affect levels of disinfection byproducts produced during chlorination or chloramination and because TOC levels may affect biological fouling of RO membranes, what is the TOC removal of slowsand filtration? RO Test Conditions The RO membrane type is polyamide (PA). The addition of sulfuric acid is planned to adjust the RO feed pH to approximately 7.2. The addition of antiscalant is planned to achieve a target RO water recovery of 85 percent. If the RO equipment operates with low fouling, operation at higher recoveries may be considered. Because the pilot system consists of two-stage RO equipment, however, and three-stage RO equipment is recommended for achieving greater than 85-percent recovery, RO operation at higher recoveries may not represent full-scale plant operation. The pilot test is not designed to address biological fouling of commercial PA membranes operated with no disinfectant in the RO feedwater. Because commercial PA membranes are considered susceptible to damage and loss of salt-rejection with chlorinated water, they are not presently recommended for operation on chlorinated or chloraminated water. For this short-term Study, however, to obtain an accurate picture of particulate fouling in the absence of biological fouling, chloramine disinfection is used in the RO feedwater. The operating time estimated to evaluate particulate fouling of the RO equipment is 6 weeks. The test schedule, however, includes 12 calendar weeks of testing to accommodate downtimes and a possible restart. An additional month is included for equipment installation and shakedown. The Study will document RO operation including flows and operating pressures. The Study will also document water compositions of the raw CAP water, slowsand filtrate, RO product, and RO reject streams. The following tasks outline the procedures followed to complete the Study. Estimates of Reclamation and SARWMS labor and costs associated with these tasks are presented in Attachment B. Task 1: Funds Management Activities under this task include accountability of project funds, scheduling, coordination with other federal agencies, and all aspects of federal resource management involved with this Study. The preparation of project financial reports and tracking of applied non-federal project money are also included in this task. Reclamation prepares a quarterly report tracking Reclamation and SARWMS expenditures. Task 2: KickoffMeeting Project staff and representatives from SARWMS and Reclamation meet to define water treatment goals and the scope, goals, and responsibilities of each party for the Study. This meeting establishes the project budget, schedule and reporting, communication, and routing requirements. Task3: Characterization of Water Supply Reclamation and SARWMS review the quality of CAP water and the target quality of treated CAP water. Task 4: Identification of Site Requirements Reclamation and SARWMS evaluate potential pilot plant sites for the following requirements: '- R Access to feedwater source R Availability of representative pretreated water from slowsand filtration. R Access to commercial power (240 VAC, 1N) R Access to discharge point for product and reject flows (ca. 10,000 gal/day) R Access to telephone R Site security (chain-link fence with adequate lighting) R Concrete or gravel support pad for the pilot plant R Portable toilet R Chemical storage trailer Task 5: Source Water SamplinR and Analysis. Reclamation staff examines existing CAP water quality data. Reclamation prepares a sampling and analysis program to acquire any needed additional data. Feedwater characteristics of concern include: R Temperature R Suspended solids: total suspended solids (TSS), silt density index (SD1), and turbidity R Major ions: total dissolved solids (TDS), specific conductance, pH, alkalinity, chloride, sulfate, calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium R Trace elements, including foulant and scale-forming elements such as barium, strontium, silica, and iron R Organic compounds: total organic carbon (TOC) and trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP), and simulated distribution system trihalomethane (SDSTHM) concentration R Nutrients: nitrate and phosphorous R Radionuclides R Biological properties: Giardia, viruses, and heterotrophic plate counts Reclamation recommends necessary analyses of the source water(s). SARWMS collects the water samples and submits them to local laboratories for analyses. Reclamation reviews the analyses for accuracy and completeness, and, if necessary, recommends additional analytical work. Task 6: Pilot Study Site Selection Using the information developed in Tasks 3-5, Reclamation and SARWMS select a site for conducting pilot studies. Task 7: Mid-Proiect Meeting SARWMS and Reclamation staff meet to review findings of Tasks3-7. Using information gathered in these tasks, Reclamation gives a presentation of the conclusions and recommendations reached during the site and treatment selection processes. Site and operator support requirements are also summarized. Final agreements must be reached on these items so that preparation of the test plan and field operations may proceed. Task 8: Pilot Plant Test Program For the selected site Reclamation prepares a test program that: R Describes pilot plant objectives R Describes the facilities required for pilot plant operation R Describes site preparation requirements (concrete pad, security, etc.) R Describes the laboratory services required to obtain operational data R Includes a schedule for implementation and operation of the pilot plant R Finalizes the budget and responsibilities of each party during the field tests Task 9: Site Preparation and Trailer Configuration SARWMS prepares the test site, to include: R Gravel work area for the pilot plant (65' x 35'). R Site security (chain-link fence with adequate lighting) R Pressurized source of process feedwater (minimum of 7 gal/min) R Discharge point for product and reject flows (ca. 10,000 gal/day); these flows will be combined prior to discharge. R Connection to commercial power (240 VAC, 1N) R Telephone drop R Office space, if located at SARWMS facilities R Portable toilet R Chemical storage trailer Reclamation installs and secures equipment skids in the mobile water treatment laboratory trailer to accommodate the treatment processes to be tested and reprogran~s required) the PLC-based SCADA system. Reclamation orders necessary process chemicals and other supplies. Following a test run of the pilot plant, the trailer is transported to the field site. Task 10: Pilot Plant Field Test In accordance with the test program prepared in Task 9, Reclamation conducts field tests for approximately 12 weeks using both Reclamation and SARWMS operators. After startup, operation of the pilot plant requires an operator approximately 4 hours per day, 7 days per week. Safety concerns require the presence of a second person, either in the pilot plant trailer or nearby at the site. Task 12: Report. Reclamation prepares a report describing the work performed during the Study. The report includes an analysis of test data used to detemfine system performance and specific conclusions and recmmnendations. Task 13: Final Workshop Reclmnation and SARWMS hold a final workshop to present findings of the Study to SARWMS staff, SARWMS Government representatives, and other interested parties.
