3 Purpose The intent of this document is to describe what Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities has done, is currently doing, and plans to do to protect its source of drinking water. Although Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities treats the water to meet federal and state drinking water standards, conventional treatment does not fully eradicate all potential contaminants and treatment that goes beyond conventional methods is often very expensive. By completing this plan, Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities acknowledges that implementing measures to prevent contamination can be a relatively economical way to help ensure the safety of the drinking water. What are the benefits of a Source Water Protection Plan? It can ensure conditions to provide the safest and highest quality drinking water to customers at the lowest possible cost. It establishes strategies to minimize the potential threats to source of drinking water. It can plan for expansion, development, zoning and emergency response issues. It can provide more opportunities for funding to improve infrastructure, purchase land in the protection area, and other improvements to the wellhead or source water protection areas. Background Source Water Protection Since 1974 the federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) has set minimum standards on the construction, operation, and quality of water provided by public water systems. In 1986, Congress amended the SDWA. A portion of those amendments were designed to protect the source water contribution areas around ground water supply wells. This program eventually became known as the Wellhead Protection Program (WHPP). The purpose of the WHPP is to prevent pollution of the source water supplying the wells. The Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1996 expanded the concept of wellhead protection to include surface water sources under the umbrella term of Source Water Protection. The amendments encourage states to establish source water assessment and protection (SWAP) programs to protect all public drinking water supplies. As part of this initiative states must explain how protection areas for each public water system will be delineated and inventoried for potential contaminant sources, and given a susceptibility rating. In 1999, the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (WVDHHR) published the West Virginia Source Water Assessment and Protection Program, which was endorsed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Over the next few years, WVDHHR staff completed an assessment (i.e., delineation, inventory and susceptibility analysis) for all of West Virginia s public water systems. Each public water system was sent a copy of its assessment report. Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities was provided its original Source Water Assessment Report in January A revised Source Water Assessment Report has been completed and is attached as a separate document.

4 System Information Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities operates a community public water system that serves a population of approximately 190 people. A community public water system is a system that regularly supplies drinking water from its own sources to at least 15 service connections used by year-round residents of the area or regularly serves 25 or more people throughout the entire year. The treatment capacity is approximately 36,000 gallons per day, but current average production is about 8,200 gallons per day. The water treatment facility is located along County Route 28 near Bakerton, West Virginia. The plant is operated 2.2 hours a day. The current plant and the well were constructed in Please note that the locations of springs/wells are not displayed on figures due to security reasons. Water treatment processes include disinfection. There is one storage tank maintained on Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities distribution system, which allows for 17,500 gallons of water storage.

5 Delineation Delineation is the process used to identify and map the recharge area that supplies water to a spring or well. This area is referred to as the source water protection area (SWPA). The original delineated Well Head Protection Area (WHPA) was set at a 2,000 foot fixed radius (288 acres) by the WVDHHR/SWAP program consultant RK&K Engineers, based on the production volume of 9,855 GPD. This is generally based on water use for a five year period with consideration given to influencing hydrogeologic factors. A new delineation was developed using a water production value of 8,200 GPD and site specific data for the system. This new delineation used vulnerability and hydrogeologic mapping based on local geologic structure, bedrock lithology, topography, and published reports (see reference list below) to define the area of possible source water contribution to the well. The new delineation was included in the Revised Source Water Assessment Report for Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities dated August 24, Future revisions to the SWPA may occur as additional geohydrologic information becomes available. The estimated land area (approximately 1,300 acres) that may contribute water to the source well is depicted in Figure 2, as the Source Water Protection Area (SWPA). The pumping well may also induce flow from the Potomac River. References Kozar, M. D., and Weary, D.

6 Protection Team All members of the protection team should become familiar with the system Source Water Assessment Report, included as an attachment for this report. It can be viewed and additional copies downloaded at If local emergency responders are not represented on the team, a copy of the plan should be provided to the local fire department. Communities with successful protection plans form a protection team to help develop and implement the plan. A protection team provides a broader level of oversight and should include individuals familiar with protective strategies. Team members may include: water supply staff, emergency response personnel, local decision makers, business and industry representatives, land owners (of land in the protection area), and concerned citizens. The protection team can consist of one individual to a number of individuals. Members of Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities Protection Team, formed on April 24, 2012 are listed in Table 1.

7 Identification of Local Source Water Concerns Potential Contaminant Source Inventory This inventory identifies potential contamination sources (PCS s) in and around the protection area that could pose a threat to drinking water. A facility or activity is listed as a potential contaminant source if it has the potential to release a contaminant based on the kinds and amounts of chemicals typically associated with that type of facility or activity. It does not necessarily indicate that any release has occurred. The initial potential contaminant list was developed as part of the source water protection assessment conducted earlier by WVDHHR in the early 2000 s, as part of the source water assessment. Potential contaminant sources were identified for the delineated area from electronic databases and from windshield surveys. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) regulates sites for a number of reasons pertaining to protecting the environment. Databases and corresponding mapping of these regulated sites within or near the SWPA were reviewed to gain further information of the threats to the source(s). WVDHHR staff met with the PWS general manager Susanne Lawton and facility staff on April 24, 2012 to verify spring/well locations and to survey the delineated area (SWPA) to verify the existence of PCSs previously identified and to identify any new PCSs. If possible, locations of regulated sites within the SWPA were verified. The WVDHHR located and/or reported on 18 PCSs (Table 2) and no regulated sources (Table 3). Figure 2 presents a map of the PCS and regulated site locations. If verified the regulated sites are recorded as PCSs. Those sites not confirmed in the field appear only on the regulated site list. The protection team may choose to verify this list and initiate protective strategies to address confirmed threats to the source water. WVDHHR staff met with Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities staff, including the public water system general manager Susanne Lawton and facility staff on June 26, 2012 to gain local knowledge of the presence of PCSs not listed on the original or updated inventory or in regulated databases and not easily detected (ex. underground storage tanks, abandoned water wells, spill sites, etc). Two additional PCS (Bakerton and Old Furnace Road) or regulated site locations were identified during the meeting.

11 Prioritization of Potential Contaminant Sources & Critical Areas It may not be feasible to develop management strategies for all of the PCSs within the Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities SWPA, depending on the total number identified. The identified PCSs can be prioritized by potential threat to water quality, proximity to the spring/well, and local concern. The highest priority PCSs can be addressed first in the initial management plan. Lower ranked PCSs can be addressed in the future as time and resources allow. In addition to identifying and prioritizing PCSs within the SWPA, local source water concerns may also focus on critical areas. For purposes of this Source Water Protection Plan, a critical area is defined as an area, identified by local stakeholders, within or outside of the SWPA, that may contain one or more PCS(s), and/or within which immediate response would be necessary to address the incident and to protect the source water. During a meeting on June 26, 2012, staff from Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities reviewed the PCS and critical area lists derived from the original Source Water Assessment Report, new field verified PCS, regulated points, and local concerns. Meeting participants identified 6 critical areas as the highest priority at this time (Table 4). Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities protective strategies will focus on these potential contaminant sources. These critical areas are listed in Table 4. It was also discussed that some sources on the inventory, such as underground storage tanks and/or commercial facilities, were regulated and may already have implemented best management practices for monitoring and/or containing a potential leak or spill and may be reviewed in the future. Protective Strategies Source Management Strategies Source management strategies are any actions taken to protect the source water from specific PCSs, type of source, or critical area. For example, prohibitions, design standards, operating standards, and reporting requirements are typical source management strategies. Land purchases, conservation easements, and purchase of development rights are also included in the category of source management strategies It is advisable to focus source management strategies on high-priority PCSs and especially any that are within the Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities jurisdiction. However, Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities can protect against contaminant sources outside its jurisdiction by working with the officials of the county in which the sources are located. Also, if watershed groups are active in the area of concern, the PSD may be able to partner with them. Table 4 lists the PCS/critical area, priority /level of threat, and active or possible protective strategies that Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities has implemented, is implementing, or intends to implement to reduce the threat to the source water.

12 Table 4 PCSs and/or Critical Areas Selected as Highest Priority Description of Highest Priority PCSs Flood Hazard Highway Spills/ Runoff Septic Systems Agricultural Activities Why Are They Considered Highest Priority? The source well is located within the 100 year flood plain. Contaminated surface water could enter the well during flood periods through an improperly sealed well cap or improperly grouted casing. Spills along highways within the SWPA could have short- and long-term impacts on water quality. Runoff of treatment compounds (for ice removal) can also affect water quality. Residential septic systems are in use within the SWPA. Nitrates and infectious agents may leach into groundwater from failing systems or where there is not an adequate soil layer below the leach field. Pesticides and other chemicals used in association with farming can impact ground water quality if improperly used or applied. Application of fertilizers can also impact water quality. Active or Possible Protective Strategies Insure that the well casing is properly grouted and that the wells are fitted with a properly sealed well cap. Coordinate with local emergency response agencies and complete a spill response plan so that response time is minimized. Contact carriers that regularly use roads within the SWPA and identify the types of materials transported. Work with the county health department to identify areas in the SWPA where home owners may need to install septic systems or service existing systems. Provide an insert in water bill on proper septic system operation and maintenance. Work with the County Extension Service, the Soil and Water Conservation District, and the Natural Resource Conservation Service to provide copies of fact sheets covering best management practices (BMPs) for nutrient management, pesticide use, pest management, waste oil disposal, safe chemical handling and chemical storage. Consider working with the local Future Farmers of America members to distribute educational materials and BMP information.

13 Description of Highest Priority PCSs New Activities Residential /Commercial Development Land Use Changes Why Are They Considered Highest Priority? New residential development or commercial development in the protection area can have direct and indirect impacts on water quality. Changes in land use can affect quality and volume of water that supplies the PWS. Active or Possible Protective Strategies Establish communications with residential owners/developers and regulated facility owners, explain that they are operating within the SWPA and emphasize the need to follow all applicable regulatory requirements or BMPs. Monitor proposed land use changes to determine if any adverse effects on short- or long-term water quality may occur.

14 Education and Outreach Strategies Table 5 provides an overview of strategies that Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities proposes to implement for education and outreach activities. The goal of the overall education and outreach plan is to raise awareness of the need to protect drinking water supplies and build support for implementation strategies. Table 5 Education and Outreach Strategies Education and Outreach Strategies Consumer Confidence Report Target Audience The utility publishes a Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) annually, as required by the Safe Drinking Water Act, which is available to all water customers. Information is included in the CCR about the source of drinking water. Starting in 2013, information concerning the PSD Source Water Protection Plan will be included in the CCR. Due to recent heightened concerns about the effects of pharmaceuticals in surface water bodies and the fact that the source water area is in a karst landscape, the utility will include information about pharmaceuticals and how to properly dispose of them in the CCR. Public Forums The public water system will participate in public forums to educate the public concerning source water protection as it relates to the PWS. Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities Protection Plan August 24, 2012 Page 14 of 27

15 Education and Outreach Strategies Drinking Water Protection Signs Target Audience Erecting Drinking Water Protection Signs along highways is a common awareness strategy in some states and recommended by the USEPA. Signs are placed to alert the public to the SWPA and about what to do in case of accidental spills. The WV Division of Highways (WVDOH) has not approved the placement of signs along or adjacent to state highway right of ways for the purposes of source water protection, except for specific sensitive areas. If you believe erecting signs along a state highway is imperative to your source water protection, please contact Cindy Cramer P. E., Director, Traffic Engineering Division at She may be reached via Cindy.L.Cramer@wv.gov. If approved the WVDOH may place and maintain signs along state highways at mutually acceptable locations. In addition, the WVDHHR recommends erecting awareness signs in public areas and along city streets not associated with state highways. If interested in erecting Drinking Water Protection Signs, contact the WVDHHR SWAP program at The WVDHHR may distribute standard signs or provide financial support through a Source Water Protection Grant. The water system will be responsible for erecting and maintaining the signs in public areas and along city streets. Coordination The utility will participate with health, utilities and fire departments that meet with the county EMA on a monthly basis, so that these agencies are aware of the boundaries of the SWPA and are in constant communication with one another. Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities Protection Plan August 24, 2012 Page 15 of 27

16 Source Water Monitoring Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities does not currently have a source water monitoring program. Current water quality is monitored through the required testing of treated water, as required under the Safe Drinking Water Act and regulated by West Virginia DHHR. This includes sampling for bacteriologicals, inorganics, volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) and synthetic organic chemicals (SOCs) as well as nitrates and radiological materials. Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities may examine the need to develop a source water monitoring program if identified management strategies are not implemented, pumping rates change, and/or significant changes in land use occur in the Source Water Protection Area. Contingency Planning The goal of contingency planning (See Appendix B) is to identify how Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities will prepare for and respond to any drinking water shortages or emergencies that may occur, due to short and long term water interruption, incidents of spill or contamination. The pages in Appendix B may be photocopied and posted in the water plant making them accessible in case of an emergency. Statewide initiatives for emergency response, including source water related incidents, are being developed. These include the West Virginia Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network (WV WARN, see and the Rural Water Association Emergency Response Team (see Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities will consider participation in these programs. Implementation Table 6 summarizes Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities source water protection plan. (Bolded items are already complete or ongoing.) Many implementation activities may be eligible for funding offered through the WVDHHR.

22 Appendix A EPA Regulated Sites CERCLIS: The Superfund program was created by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act. The acts established authority for the government to respond to the release/threat of release of hazardous wastes, including cleanup and enforcement actions. Long-term cleanups at National Priority List sites last more than a year while short term /emergency cleanups are usually completed in less than a year. CERCLIS is a database used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to track activities conducted under its Superfund program. CERCLIS contains data on potentially hazardous waste sites that have been reported to the EPA. Sites are investigated because of a potential for releasing hazardous substances into the environment are added to the CERCLIS inventory. EPA learns of these sites through notification by the owner, citizen complaints, state and local government identification, and investigations by EPA programs other than Superfund. Specific information is tracked for each individual site. NPDES: The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) database identifies facilities permitted for the operation of point source discharges to surface waters in accordance with the requirements of Section 402 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Point sources are discrete conveyances such as pipes or man-made ditches. Industrial, municipal, and other facilities must obtain permits if their discharges go directly to surface waters. The NPDES permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into public waters. RCRA: This database has records for all hazardous waste, generators, and transporters as defined by the Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA). Hazardous waste as defined by RCRA is waste material that exhibits ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity. Hazardous waste comes in many shapes and forms. Chemical, metal, and furniture manufacturing are some examples of processes that create hazardous waste. RCRA tightly regulates all hazardous waste from "cradle to grave" (i.e., from manufacture to disposal). TRI: The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) is a publicly available EPA database that contains information on toxic chemical releases and other waste management activities reported annually by certain covered industry groups as well as federal facilities. This inventory was established under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) and expanded by the Pollution Prevention Act of DEP Regulated Sites: Abandoned Mine Sites: Abandoned mine features compiled by the Office of Abandoned Mine Lands and Reclamation (AMLR) of the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection. The AMLR eliminates Jefferson County PSD - Glen Haven Utilities Protection Plan August 24, 2012 Page 22 of 27

23 damage that occurred from mining operations prior to August 3, 1977 and is funded by the AML fund. It corrects hazardous conditions and reclaims abandoned and forfeited mine sites. Typical AML features include highwalls, portals, refuse piles, and mining structures such as tipples. Coal Dams: Point and polygonal mining related impoundments regulated by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection's (WVDEP) Division of Mining and Reclamation (DMR). Solid Waste Facilities: Seventy-eight (78) municipal and non-municipal waste landfills and waste transfers stations. This data layer was published by West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection's (WVDEP) Division of Waste Management in 2/2002. Oil and Gas Wells: The Office of Oil and Gas maintains records on over 40,000 active and 25,000 inactive oil & gas wells. It also manages the Abandoned Well Plugging and Reclamation Program.
