1 A Community Under the Influence? Evaluating Potential Groundwater Under the Direct Influence (GUDI) Irfan Gehlen, P.Eng.
2 Outline of Presentation Source water assessment - MPA Testing - Particle Size and Distribution - Aerobic Spores - Hydrogeological Investigation - Other testing Information on Case Study
3
4 MPA Test Useful laboratory tool to help identify GUDI Evolved from analysis of Giardia Developed under direction of USEPA staff in Washington State Provides quantitative risk rating Not an absolute test method
5 Some Details of an MPA Test Samples taken after heavy rainfall (greater than 50 mm in previous 7 day period) May consider sampling during start of snowmelt or irrigation season Should review need to sample during dry periods
6 Flowmeter Pressure Regulator (set to 10 psi) Constant Rate Valve Cartridge Filter
7 Testing Protocol Equipment configured to not exceed flow of 1 gpm Filter approximately 1,000 US Gallons Run water through filter for hours Ship filters with ice packs in cooler Transit time to lab should be limited to 48 hours
8
9 Issues! No BC labs with significant MPA experience Nearest commercial lab with extensive testing experience is in Washington State. Expensive test. Lab charge can be up to $450 per test.
10 More Issue s Need careful planning for sampling to minimize transit time Consider border crossing issues Direct surface water influence can not be determined solely on basis of one or two MPA s Test results should be used in conjunction with other information

16 Case Study - Elkford, BC Coliform outbreak in summer of 2001 Initiated by vandalism at one reservoir Regular sampling; 1-2 samples/week # samples & locations increased during outbreak
17 What to do? Boil Water Advisory issued Emergency disinfection and flushing Crude methods for disinfecting water
18 Boivon Creek Elk River
19 Problem! Positive Coliform counts found throughout independent pressure zone No direct interconnection between pressure zones Attention turned to other potential sources of contamination
20 Health Region Orders Required to disinfect groundwater Advised by Health Region that wells are considered as GUDI, unless proven otherwise If GUDI, need to address Giardia and Cryptosporidium
21 Community Objection! Wells operating years No previous problems Did not want chlorination
22 Health Region Concerns Public Health Protection - Precautionary approach Walkerton influence Changes in concern with respect to shallow unconfined aquifers Without assessment, wells do not meet standards of today
23 Interim Solution District installed chlorinators in summer 2002 Initially used as secondary disinfection Assessment initiated to prove or disprove GUDI Assessment of source water completed in 2003 Final Report issued November 2003
24 Why Secondary Disinfection? Problems with Contact Time!

32 MPA Testing in Elkford Samples taken in August Nothing found in Town Center Well - Trace of Algae at Service Commercial Wells Both samples rated as low risk
33 MPA Testing in Elkford Samples taken in September 2002 Both samples rated as low risk All MPA testing to date has been at periods of low river level Scheduled additional samples for spring freshet

35 Testing for Aerobic Spores Looked at aerobic spore levels None to very low levels detected in surface sources Possible reasons: low water temp. low nutrient levels
36 Particle Size Testing Interested in 1-20 micron range Surface sources should contain significantly more particles than the well water (during spring freshet) Samples collected April-June 2003
37 Particle Counts (2-10 Micron Range) 120,000 * Result less than background level in pure Lab Water No. of Particles (2-10 micron range) 100,000 80,000 60,000 40,000 20,000 ** Data omitted due to lab error 0 TC Well Boivin Creek Elk River SC Well #1 SC Well #2 April 23, May 22, June 4, June 17, * * * * *
