1 DRINKIN WATER SOURCE ASSESSMENT for the Lakeside Estates MHP PWS ID # March 2003 INTRODUCTION. The 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act establish a program for states to assess the drinking water source for all public water systems. Ohio s Source Water Assessment and Protection Program is designed to help public water systems protect their sources of drinking water from becoming contaminated. This assessment: < identifies the drinking water source protection area, based on the area that supplies water to the wells; < inventories the potential contaminant sources in the area; < evaluates the susceptibility of the drinking water source to contamination; and < recommends protective strategies. The purpose of the assessment is to provide information that the Lakeside Estates MHP can use to help protect its source of drinking water from contamination. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION. The Lakeside Estates MHP is located at Wapak-Fisher Road at the southeast edge of Wapakoneta, Ohio. The Lakeside Estates MHP pumps approximately 3,600 gallons per day from one well located in a well house across from lot # 3. The well draws water from the carbonate bedrock. The aquifer (water-rich zone) is covered by over 100 feet of low-permeability material, which provides significant protection from contamination. The top of the aquifer is over 100 feet below the ground surface. The ground water is under artesian pressure and flows out of the tap when the pump is not operating. This indicates the aquifer is hydraulically confined. PROTECTION AREA. The drinking water source protection area for the Lakeside Estates MHP s well is illustrated in Figure 1. This figure shows two areas, one inside the other. The inner protection zone is the area that provides ground water to the Lakeside Estates MHP s well within one year of pumping. A chemical spill in this zone poses a greater threat to the drinking water, so this area warrants more stringent protection. The outer protection zone is the additional area that contributes water when the well is pumped for five years. Together they comprise the drinking water source protection area. These areas were determined using U.S. EPA s Wellhead Analytic Element Model (WhAEM) a computer program designed to determine drinking water source protection areas. This program was selected over more simplistic methods because water levels and regional ground water flow direction information was available from U.S. eological Survey maps. Information used to determine the Lakeside Estates MHP s protection area includes a pumping rate of 4,140 gallons per day, the pumping rate taken from the Ohio EPA s files plus an additional 15% to provide a more protective area. Since site-specific information on porosity and aquifer thickness were not available, values of 3% porosity and 9 feet/day hydraulic conductivity were used. These values are based on the known range of porosity and hydraulic conductivity in a typical carbonate aquifer. The protection area was determined based on the best information available at the time of the assessment. If you would like to have more information about how this protection area was derived, or if you would like to collect additional information and revise your protection area, please call the Ohio EPA staff listed at the end of this report.
2 INVENTORY. On February 13, 2003, an inventory of potential contaminant sources located within the drinking water source protection area was conducted by Ohio EPA. Seven potential sources of contamination were identified within and surrounding the protection area (see Figure 1). Please note that a facility or activity is included if it has the potential to release a contaminant, based on the kinds and amounts of chemicals typically associated with that type of facility or activity. It is beyond the scope of this assessment to determine whether any specific potential source is actually releasing (or has released) a contaminant to ground water. Also, the inventory is limited to what staff were able to observe on the day of the site visit. Therefore the Lakeside Estates MHP staff should be alert to the possible presence of potential sources of contamination that are not on this list. ROUND WATER QUALITY. At this time, there is no evidence of chemical contamination at levels of concern in the aquifer at the Lakeside Estates MHP. This statement is based on review of the Lakeside Estates MHP s water quality record in Ohio EPA s drinking water compliance database. Please note that this water quality evaluation is limited by the frequency and type of sampling performed for the Lakeside Estates MHP. Ohio EPA s sampling requirements are for treated water only. Also, while detections of coliform bacteria and some naturally-occurring inorganic constituents may indicate a real concern with the drinking water quality, they are not a reliable indicator of ground water contamination and are not considered in this assessment. SUSCEPTIBILITY ANALYSIS. This assessment indicates that the Lakeside Estates MHP s source of drinking water has a LOW susceptibility to contamination because: < presence of a thick protective layer of clay overlying the aquifer, < significant depth (over 100 feet below ground surface) of the aquifer, < no evidence to suggest that ground water has been impacted by any significant levels of chemical contaminants from human activities, < and no apparent significant potential contaminant sources in the protection area. This susceptibility analysis is subject to revision if new potential contaminant sources are sited within the protection area, or if water sampling indicates contamination that is verifiably due to infiltration of ground water by surface or nearsurface contaminants. PROTECTIVE STRATEIES. Each public water supplier can take a few simple steps to protect the drinking water source. The attached checklist identifies strategies for protecting your drinking water source from the potential contaminant sources located on your property. Please take a few minutes to review the checklist. Then: < Place a checkmark in the box next to the protective strategies that could be implemented at your facility. < If a possible protective strategy is not appropriate or applicable to your facility, please mark N/A next to the strategy. < If a strategy is already in place, check the box and indicate in the date column approximately when the strategy was implemented. < Select those strategies you plan to implement and note in the date column when you plan to carry out these strategies. When complete, please send a copy of the checklist to Richard Kroeger at Ohio EPA, DDAW-NWDO, 347 North Dunbridge Road, Bowling reen, OH or fax at The Ohio EPA staff will review this checklist with you during a future site visit or phone call. For additional information or assistance, please contact the Ohio EPA at or toll-free at ext 4101.

4 Protective Strategies Checklist for Lakeside Estates MHP PWS ID # Address: Wapak-Fisher Road Contact Name: Warren E. Ritchie Phone: Please note the protective strategies in this checklist are recommended best management practices for the potential contaminant sources identified during your inventory and is not a comprehensive list of the strategies that can be used to minimize the potential for contamination. Local ordinances and state and federal regulations may also apply to the potential contaminant sources that appear in this checklist. Ohio EPA recommends that you become familiar with the requirements of any ordinances and regulations that may apply. Ohio EPA can also provide assistance with education and training activities. OFF-SITE POTENTIAL sources located off the ENERAL PROTECTIVE STRATEIES Take opportunities to inform neighbors about drinking water source protection. Contact local elected officials (trustees, council members, commissioners) about issues that may impact drinking water protection areas. ON-SITE POTENTIAL ENERAL PROTECTIVE STRATEIES Well Construction Install backflow prevention devices on equipment such as boilers and dishwashers. Replace loose, cracked, or missing well caps with new, insect and vermin proof, vented well caps. Ensure proper construction of new wells. (Could we give more here - i.e., no depression or gaps around the well casing?) Education Inform employees about the protection area and the potential contaminant sources identified in the report. Train employees on proper material handling and spill cleanup techniques.
5 ON-SITE POTENTIAL ENERAL PROTECTIVE STRATEIES (Continued) ABOVEROUND STORAE TANKS (ASTs) Contingency and Emergency Planning Identify any short- and long-term alternative sources of drinking water that may be available. Prepare a list of important contacts for water supply related emergencies. Contact the local fire department and local emergency planning committee about the location of the drinking water source protection area. Place tanks on paved surfaces within secondary containment structures (berms, dikes, liners, or vaults that can hold 110% of the contents of the largest tank) or use double walled tanks. Remove and properly dispose any rainwater that accumulates in the secondary containment area. Perform preventive maintenance on the storage tanks and piping systems to detect potential leaks before they occur. Train employees on proper material handling and spill cleanup techniques. Install spill and overflow protection. Use dry clean-up methods rather than hosing fueling and loading areas down. Store absorbent cleaning materials in a readily accessible location. Cover fueling areas to reduce exposure to storm water. Inspect storage areas (fueling and loading areas) to detect problems before they occur. Keep storage areas secure against unauthorized entry. Locate ASTs as far as possible from wells, surface water bodies and storm drains. CHEMICAL STORAE AREAS (INDOOR) Move chemical storage as far from wells as possible. Store fuel, paints, and solvents in a protected, secure location away from floor and storm drains. Ensure that lids are shut and caps are closed on all containers. Educate personnel for proper storage, use, cleanup, and disposal of materials. Employ measures to protect against spillage, such as using drip pans during the transfer of liquids. Inspect shelving annually and replace or repair as needed. Inspect the external condition of the containers. Store containers no more than 2 rows deep with large containers in back. Store large and heavy containers on lower shelves. Maintain enough space between containers so that you can remove one without knocking others over. Store chemicals in an area where spills can be easily monitored, contained, and cleaned up.
6 ON-SITE POTENTIAL CROP LAND Select pesticides that are labeled for the intended application site. Reduce pesticide use by alternating crops and practicing alternative farming methods. Consider the location of wells, lakes, ponds, streams, and sink holes when applying pesticides or fertilizer. Avoid applying pesticides and fertilizers near wells, lakes, ponds, streams, and sink holes. Take measures to prevent spills while mixing and applying chemicals. Consider the impact of weather and irrigation before application. DUMPSTERS Move dumpsters as far from wells as possible. Place dumpsters in a paved area. Recycle waste materials if it is feasible and environmentally safe. Segregate wastes to allow for easier recycling. LAWN CHEMICALS Select lawn chemicals that are labeled for the intended application site and break down rapidly in the environment. Consider the location and condition of wells when applying pesticides or fertilizer. Take measures to prevent spills while mixing and applying chemicals. Leave untreated areas around wells, streams, storm drains, ponds, and sink holes. NATURAL AS LINES (RESIDENTIAL) Monitor for any potential leaks. Conduct proper routine maintenance of lines. Monitor for any drips of oil from joints or low points in the lines. If any are noted, contact your natural gas supplier. _ PACKAE PLANTS Perform preventive maintenance to detect potential problems before they occur. Ensure operators have the necessary training and certifications to operate the plant.. Comply with all permit terms and conditions. Take steps to prevent chemical wastes from entering the treatment system.
7 ON-SITE POTENTIAL PARKIN AREAS Use dry clean-up methods rather than hosing the parking areas. Control storm water flow on parking lots by grading or paving the area away from wells. Avoid using road salt for snow/ice removal; substitute with sand or gravel. SANITARY SEWER LINES Notify the sewer district about the drinking water source protection area. SEPTIC SYSTEMS Have your septic tank inspected annually to ensure that the internal structures are in good working order and to monitor the scum level. Have tank pumped out by a licensed professional. Do not dispose of grease, oil, or chemicals in the septic system. arbage disposals should not be used with septic systems. Avoid septic system additives or cleaners that contain hazardous ingredients. Only use normal amounts of detergents, bleaches, drain cleaners, household cleaners and other products. Divert roof runoff, drains and other surface runoff away from the leachfield. Reduce the amount of water that flows through the system by practicing water conservation, such as using water-saving devices and repairing leaky plumbing. Look for signs of septic system failure. Consider replacing old or outdated systems and removing unused systems. Keep vehicles and other heavy objects off of the leach field and lines. Follow manufacturers guidelines for operation and maintenance of the system. This is particularly for systems with aeration tanks. SLUDE APPLICATION Take steps to ensure sludge is not applied in areas prohibited by state law or local ordinance. Avoid applying sludge within the sanitary isolation radius of the well. Consider the impact of weather and irrigation before application. Leave untreated areas around wells, streams and sink holes. SPILLS Clean up chemical spills (even small ones) immediately. Have absorbent spill material (cat litter, sawdust, etc.) available. Train employees on proper spill cleanup.
8 ON-SITE POTENTIAL SURFACE WATER BODIES (INCLUDES PONDS RECEIVIN RUNOFF) TRANSPORTATION / TRANSPORTATION RELATED SPILLS Leave a buffer strip of grass or other vegetation around surface water bodies. Properly maintain retention ponds. Do not use pesticides and fertilizers in buffer strips around surface water bodies. Do not store liquid or bulk materials near surface water bodies. Post the telephone number of the local fire department near telephones. Contact the local fire department and local emergency planning committee about the location of the drinking water source protection area. Reduce the use of road salt. UTILITY SHEDS Move chemical storage as far from wells as possible. Ensure that lids are shut and caps are closed on all containers. Employ measures to protect against spillage such as using drip pans during the transfer of liquids. Educate personnel for proper storage, use, cleanup, and disposal of materials.
