DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION. This project takes a multi-media approach to controlling lead by allowing the City to utilize some of the City’s drinking water resources to xxxxx a known health hazard through an exposure pathway other than, and in addition to, drinking water (i.e., household lead paint and dust). It allows the City’s Water Division flexibility from LSL sampling and replacement requirements in the drinking water regulations in working through technical issues associated with making treatment adjustments. The City of Columbus operates a public water system which must comply with national primary drinking water regulations promulgated under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Columbus has a good compliance history for lead in the drinking water. The City is also currently maintaining optimal treatment for lead. In the past, Columbus has made certain changes to its water treatment process, and inadvertently caused an increase in the lead levels in the water. Columbus is concerned that it may need to make treatment changes in the future that may likewise impact lead levels. Under the Federal and State drinking water regulations, if the drinking water in customers’ homes exceeds the “Action Level” (AL) of 15 µg/L of lead in more than 10 percent of drinking water tap samples (i.e., exceeds the AL as a 90th percentile value), the City must begin sampling LSLs immediately and replacing those lines that contribute more than 15 µg/L of lead. Through this project, the US EPA will allow the City a temporary suspension of the LSL sampling and replacement provisions for up to three years beginning if and when the City exceeds the lead AL, provided this occurs within six years of making a treatment change. In exchange for this flexibility, the City Division of Water will contribute $300,000 a year for 15 years to the LSCP, beginning January 1, 2001. The City Division of Water’s annual commitment to contribute $300,000 to the LSCP is contingent on annual approval of this transfer by the City Council and City Auditor1. The LSCP will use the $300,000 per year to provide free blood testing, public education, medical intervention for lead-poisoned children, and up 1Any subsequent reference to the City of Columbus Division of Water’s commitment to transfer $300,000 to the LSCP will assume and be contingent on the necessary annual approvals from the Columbus City Council and City Auditor. to $100,000 in grants per year for lead abatement to residents of Columbus in the high-risk areas identifi...
DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION. The project location is a deeply incised and actively eroding stormwater channel. The device will treat an 8.87-acre watershed and will improve two head cuts. The RSC will be installed in a section the ephemeral stormwater channel that is approximately 90 feet in length. There is an approximate seven to eight-foot headcut located at the upstream end of the project reach; the channel downstream from this point averages approximately 15 feet in width from top of bank to top of bank and is incised, on average, approximately 4-5 feet. At the downstream end of the reach there is another headcut, approximately 4-5 feet in elevation. The RSC will end just upstream of the location of this existing downstream headcut. In a RSC, water conveyance and processing is accomplished via a constructed network of sand seepage berms, pools, and boulder (or cobble, depending on the modeled flow) weirs. The arrangement of these features raises the incised invert of the incised channel back to pre-disturbance elevation and forms a new surface topography that controls the surface and subsurface hydrology. The modifications necessary to establish the sand seepage hydrology result in the creation of a series of vegetated stilling pools, sand seepage beds replete with above and below-ground biomass, and associated flow paths through the sand/mulch filter media. The physical effect of the pools and the vegetation planted on the lateral sides of the channel in the filtration media reduce water velocity and facilitate removal of suspended solid particles and associated nutrients and contaminants. Uptake of dissolved nutrients and adsorption of oils and greases by the many plant stems present in the pools yields additional benefits. The conceptual design/structure of the RSC at the proposed location currently involves filling the incised channel with a mixture of sand (80%) and hardwood mulch or chips (20%). A parabolic xxxx structure will be installed at the upper headcut, at existing grade, to control grade and direct water into the RSC downstream. Continuing downstream, the incised channel will be filled with the sand/mulch filtration media, and stabilized with a series of 3 (or more) additional parabolic xxxx structures, of varying length and slope, depending on the existing topography. Each xxxx will have a pool immediately upstream for high flow storage and to enhance infiltration of stormwater downward through the sand/mulch filtration media. At the downstream end of the RSC, mat...
DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION. Water and The Right To Know will be a program that transforms, educates and moves communities by providing technical assistance, guidance and support to local water boards and its members, simultaneously igniting communities’ participation in their local water systems. While a bridge exists between the local water boards and the Regional Water Board, Tulare County Board of Supervisors and the State Water Board, EQS sees the importance of further cultivating those pathways. El Quinto Sol de America has established comites in the communities of Plainview, Tonyville, Tooleville, and The City of Lindsay. Each comite consists of residents from each of these communities who develop a community plan to improve the well being of the entire community. Historically, the comites have focused on pesticide advocacy and transportation infrastructure. But while meeting on a regular basis, community members began to identify water as the next potential issue that they should work on. For example, in the community of Plainview, the lack of qualified individuals willing to be part of the Water Board has created roadblocks for grant requirements and the policy implementation process. Over the ten years that EQS has been in existence, we have had the opportunity to create long lasting partnerships with many organizations. We have partnered with health organizations such as Kaweah Delta and Family Health Care Network for our neighboring health fairs. We have partnered with CSET and Tulare County Board of Supervisors District One Representative Xxxxx Xxxxxx to host community wide clean ups. Self-Help Enterprises, Community Water Center, Leadership Council and CRLA have been integral in providing specific trainings in areas such as laws and regulations, policy and liabilities. The Water and The Right to Know has two simultaneous goals: Goal 1 is to increase the knowledge and participation of residents in their local water systems. EQS will accomplish this through identifying new leaders, providing technical assistance and serving as a guide through the entire process so that community members feel supported and able to be the decision makers for their local water systems. EQS will be hosting regular house meetings that will be facilitated by an organizer. The organizer will use popular education methods, as well as art and culture based leadership tools. These house meetings will be interactive and provide the foundation (i.e.: public speaking, governance structure, etc) for com...
DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION. Alongside residents of impacted communities, we will lead efforts through all stages of a septic to sewer conversion and drinking water consolidation project from idea inception to project completion. Initially, we will undertake community education and outreach in the communities of Lanare, Cantua Creek, Xxxxxxx Tract, Xxxxxx Tract, Loan Oak and Riverdale (the community adjacent to Lanare) to engage impacted residents in the development and implementation of a septic to sewer campaign and, if applicable a wastewater and / or drinking water consolidation project. Xxxxxxx Tract, Loan Oak and Xxxxxx Tract and Lanare rely on groundwater for their drinking water, Cantua Creek relies on surface water. We will engage in a San Xxxxxxx Valley-wide study to identify other viable communities for septic to sewer system conversion projects and drinking water consolidation projects. Based on that regional study, and demonstrated interest among community members to engage in a septic to sewer and / or drinking water systems consolidation campaign we will replicate - and adjust if necessary - strategies that we will undertake in Lanare, Cantua Creek, Xxxxxx Tract, Loan Oak and Xxxxxxx Tract. We will adjust our specific activities depending on where each community is in the process of connecting to a public wastewater system and / or consolidating water service. We will also develop and implement a community survey if necessary to identify and characterize septic system deficiencies, quantify septic system maintenance costs, and gauge (or demonstrate) the willingness of home owners and rate payers to pay for connection fees, service charges and any other costs related to septic to sewer conversion. In partnership with community based organizations and other stakeholders and technical assistance providers, we will initiate and facilitate discussions amongst representatives from key local governments (local special districts, county and city agencies) to secure support and develop a collaborative strategy. We will then work together to engage the State Water Resources Control Board, Upper Kings Integrated Regional Water Management stakeholders and other relevant entities to identify funding and technical assistance opportunities to ensure project completion and success. We will also work with government agencies and technical assistance providers to ensure project readiness by securing LAFCO approvals and any other conditions of funding or project implementation.

DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION. The ecosystem-‐wide approach of WildPlaces’ Xxxx/Tule Watersheds Disadvantaged Communities Water Quality Improvement & Outreach 2016 Project provides water ecology education, community outreach, land-‐based restoration, and stewardship activities to engage disadvantaged communities to improve water and habitat quality in upland areas. Protecting and restoring upland habitat and watersheds will improve conditions in the targeted disadvantaged communities by bringing diverse neighborhood members together to take action toward the common goal of watershed restoration and water quality protection. Visiting local schools to present an assembly on watershed preservation with a response component will educate and engage youth who, in turn, will share information with their parents. Families, who live in areas most impacted by the draught and families who are river users will be empowered to participate as solution-‐makers, knowing their actions will directly preserve water quality and quality where they live. Youth will gain a greater sense of self-‐esteem, people skills, and leadership training, all of which they will bring back to their home communities as assets. They will, also, benefit from a more positive frame of mind from being immersed in nature with which to deal with the stresses of their immediate and personal water crisis in a constructive way. WildPlaces’ (WP) work plan for this project will begin with two community outreach events; one in East Porterville and one in Xxxxx. These are designed to gain interest and dialogue with community members about their efforts and concerns regarding water scarcity and poor quality and to inform the communities about our watershed-‐wide approach to improving water quality. WP will present a watershed informational assembly at two schools in the WP community of East Porterville where children are most affected by the drought, whose homes are not connected to the Porterville City water system and whose xxxxx are dry, in danger of going dry, or are being supplied with emergency water delivered by Tulare County; Xxxx X Xxxxx Elementary School (K-‐6 grades, enrollment est. 700) and Alta Vista Elementary School (K-‐5 grades, enrollment est. 300). Xxxxx schools have a long relationship with the Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Foundation, a partner of WP on many high country events. As a result, WP is familiar to many families in the Xxxxx community. These children, also affected by drought situations in their farming community, f...
