9 5 - Rationale for Results reported for Operational Testing Rationale for Min/Max Results reported for Operational Testing done under Schedule 7 Parameter Explanation for MIN reading Explanation for MAX reading Turbidity Chlorine Chlorine Distribution Fluoride This type of turbidity analyzer fails to 0.000NTU reading. This reading was recorded on 18-JUN-15 as the filter was shutting down. This reading is not typical. The Operator on-call was paged for low chlorine and believed flow was too low to the analyzer. The Operator increased flow to the analyzer, and free chlorine residual came back to typical level. CT was calculated: CT achieved = mg/l*min; CT required = mg/l*min No explanation required; typical reading. Throughout the reporting period, there were a total of 88 days wherein the Fluoridation system was offline due to repairs of the system, or maintenance in the distribution system. No explanation required. New shipment of Sodium Hypochlorite caused Treated Water free chlorine residuals to climb. Operator reduced measured residuals to target maximum 2.20 mg/l. Free chlorine residuals as high as this are of short duration when system demand is low and chlorine booster pump comes on at tower. Average distribution chlorine residual throughout reporting period is 1.03 mg/l. No explanation required; therapeutic range for Fluoride residuals between 0.6 mg/l 0.8 mg/l. 8

10 Summary of additional testing and sample carried out in accordance with the requirement of an Approval, Order, or other Legal Instrument: In accordance with Municipal Drinking Water Licence (MDWL) , samples must be collected from the waste residual management tank outlet, and the Filter-to-Waste discharge from Dual Media filters on a monthly basis. This is to confirm compliance with Residue Management material compliance Limit of 25 mg/l Total Suspended Solids.

17 Compliance with Prescribed Instruments, Acts and Regulations Safe Drinking Water Act On August 20-21, 2015, the City s third party accreditation provider, NSF Canada performed a System s Audit (off-site audit) to confirm the City has been operating the Drinking Water System s in accordance with the Drinking Water Quality Management Standard. The City had a successful audit, and were not issued any Corrective Action Requests. The City s Certificates of Registration will expire on July 28, The third party auditor will perform an On-Site verification audit, and any Corrective Actions Requests will require implementation/completion prior to receiving further accreditation. The on-site verification audit will take place this year in June, Ontario Regulation 128/04, established under the Safe Drinking Water Act, requires that the Owner of a municipal residential subsystem designate an Overall Responsible Operator who holds a certificate for the subsystem and that is of the same class as, or higher, than the class of the subsystem. In the event the designated ORO is absent or unable to act, the Owner may designate a backup ORO for not more than 150 days in any 12-month period. On January 6, 2016, the City notified the MOECC District Office of a contravention with this Regulation. In 2015, an Acting ORO was designated for 241 days. Clean Water Act The Source Protection Plan was approved by the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, and came in to effect on January 1, The City has put the necessary internal processes in place with the Planning, Building, and Public Works Departments, for screening applications and ensuring compliance with the Source Protection Plan. Going forward, the workplan entails City staff developing Risk Management Plans for the properties with significant drinking water threats, and tailoring City Policies and Procedures to meet the requirements of the Plan. Permit to Take Water In accordance with Permit to Take Water number RFK23, the Bayside Water Treatment Plant is permitted to draft from the Bay of Quinte, 11,365,000L/d at a maximum flow rate of 15,768L/min. Throughout the Reporting Period, the Bayside WTP remained within compliance limits identified in the Permit to Take Water for the facility. A maximum daily taking of 4,401m 3 was recorded on March 25, The maximum flow rate recorded was 152L/s on January 19, For further details on Raw Water taking throughout the reporting period, see Table 10 - Summary of Water Quantities and Flow Rates on page

18 Drinking Water Works Permit/Municipal Drinking Water Licence The Bayside Drinking Water System Drinking Water Works Permit (DWWP), and Municipal Drinking Water Licence (MDWL) required renewal in To obtain a renewal of its DWWP and MDWL, the City was required to submit proof of accreditation by an independent third party, that the City of Quinte West Quality Management System meets the requirements of the Drinking Water Quality Management Standard and the Safe Drinking Water Act, Further, the City was required to submit an approved copy of the Quinte West Water & Wastewater Financial Plan # A. A Staff Report was provided to Corporate & Financial Services Committee on May 27, 2015 recommending that the City of Quinte West Water and Wastewater Financial Plan be approved. The 10-year Capital Plan, effective , was approved by Council on June 1, The Bayside Water Treatment Plant has a rated capacity to treat and distribute 11,360m 3 /d in accordance with Schedule C of the MDWL, Condition 1.1 Rated Capacity. The maximum daily volume of treated water pumped to the distribution system was 3,623.1m 3 /d on April 30, 2015 while the plant was running in pressure mode for Elevated Tank repainting.
