1 Sleuthing for Sewage Leaks & Other Illicit Discharges VWMC Conference 2015 Laurel Williamson Stormwater & Watershed Planner

2 Outline 1. Basics of Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination (IDDE) 2. Training collaboration: central ShenanandoahValley 3. New bacteria monitoring guide for volunteer groups: Safe Waters, Healthy guide

3 What is an Illicit Discharge? A discharge to the storm sewer system that is not composed entirely of storm water (minus a few exceptions).

4 What is an Illicit Discharge? A dry weather discharge to the storm sewer system that contains pollutants except: i. discharges pursuant to a NPDES permit and ii. discharges resulting from fire fighting activities (40 CFR )

5 Regulatory Context Minimum Control Measure #3 for MS4 localities Requirements: Develop procedures for illicit discharge detection & elimination (IDDE) Map stormwater network and outfalls Ordinance/legal mechanisms Public reporting of illicit discharges Report investigations & findings in annual reports

6 Sources of Illicit Discharges Illegal dumping practices (95%) Broken sanitary sewer line (81%) Cross-connections (71%) Connection of floor drains to storm sewer (62%) Sanitary sewer overflows (52%) Inflow / infiltration (48%) Straight pipe sewer discharge (38%) Failing septic systems (33%) Improper RV waste disposal (33%) Pump station failure (14%)

8 Sewer Pipe Leakage

9 Sewer Pipe Leaks

10 Laundry Washwater Laundry water directly connected to storm drain system

11 Commercial Car Washing Wash water drains directly to the stormdrain system Raleigh, NC

12 Floor Drains Directly connected to stormdrain system Photo credit: Regional Water Quality Control Board

13 Mop Water Dumping

14 Paint wash Washing out brushes and buckets on the ground or into storm drains

15 Chemical and oil leaks/dumping

16 Concrete washout Washing out concrete truck without proper containment

17 Dry Weather Outfall Screening Looking at and testing flow from pipes, not in-stream At least 48 hours after precipitation (runoff-producing rain event) During period of low groundwater (fall is best)

18 Outfall Sampling vs. Stream Sampling Outfall Sampling: Many sampling sites Only test when there is flow Walk along stream reaches Concentrated pollutants Stream Sampling: Return to same sites to track trends Diluted pollutants

19 Visual Indicators for Flowing Outfalls Is there flow? Odor Color Transparency Floatables Deposits/Stains Abnormal Vegetation

20 Indicator Monitoring Parameter Ammonia (NH 3 ) Detergents (surfactants) Optical Brighteners Potassium Fluoride Conductivity Bacteria Indicator of: Sewage, septage Washwater, sewage, septage, industrial waste Washwater, sewage, septage Sewage, septage, industrial waste Tap water, washwater, sewage Industrial waste, washwater Sewage, septage

21 Single Parameter Screening Detergents (methylene blue active substances, MBAS) Best single parameter to detect illicit discharges Analysis conducted in controlled lab setting Ammonia Concentrations >0.2 mg/l is potential indicator of sewage Analysis in field using portable spectrophotometer

22 Flow Chart Method 4 Parameters Surfactants >0.25 mg/l Adapt these thresholds to your community Yes No Ammonia/ Potassium ratio >1.0 Fluoride >0.25 mg/l Yes No No Yes Possible Wastewater Possible Washwater Likely Groundwater Likely Tap Or Irrigation Water From Brown et al (2004)

23 Simple, Low-Cost Equipment Comparative colorimetric methods (apparent color, detergents) Simple probes (ph, conductivity, potassium) Spectrophotometric (fluoride, ammonia) Some good for field testing, some best in lab

24 Detergents/Surfactants Kit (colorimetric) Detergents (MBAS) by Chemetrics

25 Spectrophotometers Fluoride by Hanna Instruments Ammonia by Milwaukee or Lamotte

26 Simple Probes/Meters Conductivity/pH/Temperature Potassium by Horiba

27 Bacteria Testing Quanti-Tray by IDEXX Petrifilm plates by 3M

35 Safe Waters, Healthy Waters: A Guide for Citizen Groups on Bacteria Monitoring in Local Waterways Section 1: Background on Bacteria in Urban Waters Section 2: Approaches to Bacteria Monitoring Section 3: Narrowing Down Potential Sources Section 4: Sharing Your Findings & Taking Action Case Studies

36 Purpose of Guide Volunteer groups can help state and local agencies fill gaps Use more specific bacterial indicators Monitor where agencies are not Monitor when agencies are not Identify recreational waters with high bacteria; identify sources Funded by Ittleson Foundation, Cornell Douglas Foundation

37 Contents Sampling and Analysis Plan Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) How to take a sample Different bacterial analysis methods Survey of outfalls & potential hotspots Bracket sampling & supplemental sampling Track down methods Sharing data with localities & the public Strategies to reduce bacterial pollution

38 Case Studies 5 case studies, different scales Surfrider Foundation (national) Hudson Riverkeeper (regional) Rivanna River StreamWatch (local, Virginia) Chattahoochee Riverkeeper (local, Georgia) Reedy Creek Coalition/Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay (local, Virginia) coming soon Source: StreamWatch Source: StreamWatch Source: Chattahoochee Riverkeeper
