The QMS Representatives are responsible for: Reporting on QMS performance and identifying opportunities for improvement, Ensuring that current versions of documents related to the QMS are in use, and Ensuring personnel are aware of all applicable legislative and regulatory requirements that pertain to their operational duties. All personnel involved with the operation of the Earlton Drinking Water System have roles and associated responsibilities within the Township of Armstrong s QMS. 5 Document and Records Control Refer to Appendix A for QMS Procedure QP-01 Document and Records Control. 6 Drinking Water System Description of the Corporation of the Township of Armstrong - Earlton Drinking Water System The Earlton Drinking Water System is owned by the Corporation of the Township of Armstrong and supplies drinking water to the Village of Earlton. The Village of Earlton is owned, managed and located within the Township of Armstrong. The Drinking Water Treatment and Distribution Systems are operated by the Village of Earlton s Utilities Department. The Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) is contracted to provide overall responsible operator services, complete instrumentation calibrations, support maintenance system scheduling and completion, and provide additional services as requested. This subject system is not interconnected to any other drinking-water systems owned by different owners. There are no critical upstream or downstream processes relied upon to ensure the provision of safe drinking water. The following details pertain to the Earlton Drinking Water System and are based on information provided in Drinking Water Works Permit No (dated May 31, 2011), the First Engineer s Report for Village of Earlton Water Works (dated November 2000) and the Water Well Record. The Earlton Water Treatment Plant, built in 1993, draws raw water for the municipal system from three separate drilled wells. Well 1 is the original well, drilled 178 m into limestone/bedrock formation. The well is double-cased, equipped with a submersible pump rated at 3.0 L/s, a magnetic flow meter and a sodium hypochlorite disinfection system. Pump controls and other associated equipment are contained within a pump station located at 10 Twelfth Avenue, and the wellhead is located approximately 3 m to the west of the pump station. Raw water is prechlorinated and pumped directly to the water treatment plant via 150 mm PVC transmission main that is common to Wells 1 and 3. Corporation of the Township of Armstrong DWQMS Operational Plan Revision 1, Page 8 of 19

11 Corporation of the Township of Armstrong Earlton Drinking Water System Well 3 is double-case constructed, drilled 151 m into a limestone/bedrock formation. The well is equipped with a submersible pump with a rated capacity of 9.0 L/s, a magnetic flow meter and a sodium hypochlorite disinfection system. Pump controls and other associated equipment are contained within a pump station located at 35 Sixth Street, and the wellhead is located approximately 2.5 m to the west of the pump station. Pre-chlorinated raw water is pumped directly to the water treatment plant via 150 mm PVC transmission main that is common to Wells 1 and 3. Well 4 is also double-case constructed, drilled to a depth of m into limestone/bedrock. It is equipped with a submersible pump with a rated capacity of 3.0 L/s. The well head is located within the fenced enclosure adjacent to the west side of the treatment plant building. Raw water is pumped directly to the water treatment plant via 150 mm PVC transmission line. The treatment system contains chemically assisted filtration consisting of ferric sulphate coagulation, twin upflow clarifiers and gravity filtration units. Filter backwashes include scour and filter-to-waste capability. Sodium hypochlorite is used for primary and secondary disinfection. The system has the option of pre and post treatment injection points. Treated water is sent into twin in-ground reservoirs, each having a capacity of 559 m 3. Water is sent into the distribution system via three submersible high lift pumps. One vertical turbine fire system pump is also available for emergency situations. Residue management system is in place for the separation of water from sludge. The wastewater is decanted to the storm sewer system and the sludge is hauled and disposed of in the township s wastewater lagoon. The water treatment process is controlled by a dedicated PLC and monitored through the SCADA computer system. Operators review certain parameters within 72 hours. Standby power is available from the 150 kw diesel engine generator with transfer switch assembly. The distribution system services a population of approximately 832 people through an estimated 340 residential service connections. In 2011, Airport Road Subdivision was built which provides service connections on 23 lots. Based on the number of service connections the system is classified as a Large Municipal Residential Drinking Water System. The core of the distribution system was originally installed in Currently there is approximately 10 km of plastic (PVC) water main ranging in size from 100 mm to 150 mm in diameter. A review of distribution system drawings indicated that there are approximately 42 fire hydrants. This distribution system was designed to service a future population of There are no water storage facilities in the distribution system, as storage is incorporated within the treatment plant.

15 Corporation of the Township of Armstrong Earlton Drinking Water System Source Water General Characteristics The well supply obtains its water from a confined aquifer found below the limestone/bedrock formation. The chemistry of the groundwater indicates a highly suitable source for drinking water. The water temperature is constant, the ph is considered normal for ground water systems and the turbidity is low and shows very little variation. Bacteriological analysis of the raw water also indicates a source of good quality. The following tables summarize the raw water characteristics of each well is 2009: Table A - Well No. 1 Raw Water Characteristics (based on 2009 data) Characteristic Minimum Maximum Annual Average Turbidity (NTU) Temperature ( o C) ph E. coli (CFU/100 ml) Total Coliforms (CFU/100 ml) Table B - Well No. 3 Raw Water Characteristics (based on 2009 data) Characteristic Minimum Maximum Annual Average Turbidity (NTU) Temperature ( o C) ph E. coli (CFU/100 ml) Total Coliforms (CFU/100 ml) Table C - Well No. 4 Raw Water Characteristics (based on 2009 data) Characteristic Minimum Maximum Annual Average Turbidity (NTU) Temperature ( o C) ph E. coli (CFU/100 ml) Total Coliforms (CFU/100 ml) Common Fluctuations Threats Data available for the past five years indicates that the water source is stable and consistent. A potential threat to the raw water source is the proximity of the wells to the TransCanada Highway 11 and the ONR railway tracks. A fuel or chemical spill from a tanker truck or railcar could contaminate the aquifer. However, the grade of the land from the highway to the wells along with the bedrock protecting them makes this threat unlikely.

Township of Armstrong approach to addressing other potential hazards is set out in QMS Procedure QP-09 Emergency Management. 3.0 Responsibility Utilities Chief Operator Risk Assessment Personnel 4.0 Definitions Drinking Water Health Hazard means, in respect of a drinking water system, a) a condition of the system or a condition associated with the system s waters, including any thing found in the waters, i. that adversely affects, or is likely to adversely affect, the health of the users of the system, ii. that deters or hinders, or is likely to deter or hinder, the prevention or suppression of disease, or iii. that endangers or is likely to endanger public health, b) a prescribed condition of the drinking water system, or c) a prescribed condition associated with the system s waters or the presence of a prescribed thing in the waters Critical Control Point (CCP) An essential step or point in the subject system at which control can be applied by the Operating Authority to prevent or eliminate a drinking water health hazard or reduce it to an acceptable level Hazardous Event an incident or situation that can lead to the presence of a hazard Hazard a biological, chemical, physical or radiological agent that has the potential to cause harm Control Measure includes any processes, physical steps or other practices that have been put in place at a drinking water system to prevent or reduce a hazard before it occurs Likelihood the probability of a hazard or hazardous event occurring Consequence the potential impact to public health and/or operation of the drinking water system if a hazard/hazardous event is not controlled

32 Corporation of the Township of Armstrong QMS Procedure: Risk Assessment and Risk Assessment Outcomes Proc.: QP-02 Rev.: 1 Issued: Page 2 of 4 Environmental Emergency Procedure (EEP) site specific procedures developed for emergency situations 5.0 Procedure 5.1 The QMS Representative assigns trained personnel to conduct the risk assessment. 5.2 Using the system s process diagram, identify hazardous events and associated hazards (possible outcomes) that could impact the system s ability to deliver safe drinking water in Table 1 1 for each activity/process step. 5.3 For each of the hazardous events, specify control measures currently in place at the facility that eliminate the hazard or prevent it from becoming a threat to public health. Note: Some hazards/hazardous events may have step-by-step contingency plans associated with them. These contingency plans are developed as per the Township of Armstrong s Emergency Management Program and are further described in QMS Procedure QP-09 Emergency Management. 5.4 To ensure that potential drinking water health hazards are addressed and minimum treatment requirements as regulated by SDWA O. Reg. 170/03 and the Procedure for Disinfection of Drinking Water in Ontario are met, the Township of Armstrong has established mandatory Critical Control Points (CCPs). As a minimum, the following must be included as CCPs at the Earlton Drinking Water System (as applicable): Processes necessary to achieve the required log removal or inactivation of pathogens (i.e., chemical and/or UV disinfection system, filtration process 2 for surface water and GUDI systems) Processes necessary for maintaining a disinfectant residual in the distribution system (includes re-chlorination points) Identify the above processes (as they apply) as mandatory CCPs in the CCP column in Table To determine if there are any additional CCPs for the system, evaluate and rank the hazardous events (as set out below in steps 5.6 and 5.7) for the remaining activities/process steps (i.e., those not included as minimum CCPs). 5.6 Taking into consideration existing control measures (including the reliability and redundancy of equipment), assign each hazardous event a value for the likelihood and a value for the consequence of that event occurring based on the following criteria: 1 Tables referred to in this procedure are contained within the facility-specific Summary of Risk Assessment Outcomes 2 Filtration process includes related processes (e.g., chemical coagulation, rapid mixing, flocculation, sedimentation)

Hazardous events with a ranking of 12 or greater are considered high risk. 5.7 Review the hazardous events and rankings documented in Table 1 and identify any activity/process step as an additional CCP if all of the following criteria are met: The associated hazardous event has a ranking of 12 or greater The associated hazardous event is reduced to an acceptable level through control measure(s) Operation of the control measures can be monitored and corrective actions can be applied in a timely fashion Specific control limits can be established for the control measure(s) Failure of the control measures would lead to immediate notification of Medical Officer of Health (MOH) or Ministry of the Environment (MOE) or both. 5.8 List identified CCPs (required minimum and any additional CCPs established by the risk assessment) in Table 2. Set related critical control limits (e.g., limits for turbidity, chlorine residual, temperature, ph) for each CCP as appropriate. 5.9 Ensure procedures have been developed and implemented at the facility to: Monitor the critical control limits Respond to, report and record deviations from the critical control limits. List these procedures in Table The information recorded in the Summary of Risk Assessment Outcomes is maintained at the facility level on an ongoing basis and is reviewed at least annually as part of the Management Review process A risk assessment is conducted and documented at least once every thirty-six months.
