§ 64420.4. POE Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Program.
Currentness
(a) Prior to installing POEs, and as part of its permit application to use POE in lieu of centralized treatment, a public water system shall submit to the State Board a POE Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Program sufficient to reliably reduce levels of contaminants and comply with drinking water standards. The POE O&M Program shall include the following:
(1) An installation protocol that, at a minimum, describes locations and assurances that POEs will be accessible for operation and maintenance;
(2) The type and frequency of maintenance, at intervals specified by the manufacturer and determined by pilot testing, whichever is shorter, that ensures POEs produce effluent that meets drinking water standards;
(3) The number and type of auxiliary POEs and parts necessary to ensure continuous effective treatment;
(4) Replacement schedules for critical components and POEs necessary to ensure continuous effective treatment;
(5) The qualifications and identification of the person(s) responsible for POE installation, operation, and maintenance; and
(6) POE waste-handling and disposal procedures sufficient to ensure that wastes generated by the POE and the POE itself are properly and safely disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local requirements.
(b) To ensure a POE is properly operating and has not been bypassed, POEs shall be inspected by the public water system no less often than every twelve months and when a POE's effluent is monitored pursuant to section 64420.5.
(c) Based on the on-going operation and maintenance of installed POEs, a public water system shall revise its POE O&M Program as necessary to ensure continuous effective treatment and that POEs produce effluent that meets drinking water standards. Revised POE O&M Programs shall be submitted to the State Board for review and may not be implemented without State Board approval confirming that the revised POE O&M Program meets the requirements of this section.
(d) A public water system shall maintain a copy of and implement the most current State Board-approved version of its POE O&M Program.
