Local Primacy Agency Evaluation Report
County of Butte

RECOMMENDATIONS
CDPH finds that Butte County program staff works diligently to achieve and maintain compliance with
CDPH's LPA. requirements far small water systems. Based on its evaluation of the Butte L:.PA
program, CDPH makes the following recammertdations:
1. For systems with a violation of a primary MCL, such as nitrate or arsenic,
the first step in corrective action should be to determine whether the elevated constituent
concentration is due to a improperly constructed well. Fcir example, a nitrate contaminated
well completed in shallow groundwater may not have developed ~a nitrate problem had it been
constructed to a greater depth. If a contaminated well's construction is a major contributing
factor to contamination, well replacement, if feasible, should be preferred ..;.over other
aiternati~es such as treatment. In general, treatment of a deficient well should nof: b~ a[lpwed
if a new well would solve the problem or the well is improperly constructed.
2. Continue to allocate money for training of county staff. The county's staff participation `in.
training is strongly recommended. ~ Drinking water regulations and technology is constantly
changing; therefore, continued training is needed.
3. Continue to apply the Total Coliform Rule (TCR) to ail water systems with the full TCR
compliance requirements by ensuring that the required number of repeat samples is collected
following a routine total coliform positive result. Ensure the collection of five routine samples
the month following a routine TC positive sample unless the county makes the determination
to waive this requirement and documents that decision, and the basis of the waiver, i'ri the
water system file. Issue Notices of Violation or citations to systems with TCR MCL~vioiations.

LPA Permit Activities
{T22 §64254)
Historically, Butte County issued a new permit annually to each public water system under its
jurisdiction. This permit served to acknowledge receipt of the annual operating fee. However, in FY
2010-11, the Butte LPA began issuing long-term operating permits modeled after the CDPH system.
To date, 66 of the $8 public water systems under the LPA's jurisdiction have received this new type of
permit. The LPA intends to have all of its water systems under the new permit format by 2012.
During FY 2010-11, Butte County issued ~ full and 3 amended permits to small water systems as
summarized in Table 3 below.

Inventory
During FY 2010-11, the county regulated 88 active public water systems (PWSs). No systems were
reclassified from public water system to state small water system, or vice versa.
The classifications of the 8$ small systems in the current inventory are shown in Table 4, below. An
inventory is maintained for all public water systems regulated by the county and includes the following
information: physical address, mailing address, contact information (name, telephone numbers, etc.);
permit status; source type, location, operating status, and treatment; inspection dates; and violations
and enforcement actions taken. The county's water systems files are well organized and contain copies
of Bacteriological Sample Siting Plans, proof of pubfic notification, sanitary surveys, permits,
inspections, water quality monitoring data, routine correspondence, etc, Table 5 shows the system
classification summary. Table 5 lists all the current public water systems. The county has a total of 88
active public water systems.

InspectinnslSanitarv Sure
Registered Environmental Health Specialist, in the Butte County Environmental Health Department,
have a particular area of expertise or specialization, but are also generalists and are required to
perform a variety of additional duties. Oversight for the SWSP is provided by Elaine McSpadden,
REHS, of the Department of Environmental Health. During FY 10111, 80°fo of Elaine's time the full time
was spent in the SWSP. Elaine`s other responsibilities of the Small Water System Specialist include
working in the other environmental health programs inspecting 103 food facilities, 26 pool facilities, and
the body art program. Butte County has developed an Access database for the SWSP. The SWSP
has recently implemented the Envision Connect database and is moving their data to this new system.
The Water Program Specialist is responsible for the maintaining the database, data entry, data
management, compliance tracking, enforcement activities, daily activity reports and required monthly
electronic reporting to the CDPH. "EDT" is lab data transfer.
All Community water systems must have sanitary surveys completed at least once every 3 years.
Nontransient--Noncammunity and Transient-Nancommunity must have a sanitary survey completed at
least once 5 years. A sanitary survey consists of a review of the water system permit and file as well
as an onsite inspection of the water source(s), facilities, equipment, operation and maintenance
procedures, management practices, and related records of a PWS. This information is used for
evaluating the adequacies of the facilities and operational practices far producing and distributing safe
drinking water. In addition, the sanitary survey includes a review of the watershed for surface water
sources and the vulnerability assessment far groundwater sources. These sanitary surveys may be
conducted as part of, or in lieu of, a routine inspection.
The State and Federal Groundwater Rule (CFR 40 Section 141.21) and the Long Term 2 Enhanced
Surface Water Treatment Rule (40 CFR, Section 142.16) specify that sanitary surveys must be
conducted no less frequently than every three years far community systems and na less frequently
than every five years far nancommunity systems.
Minimum inspection frequencies currently specified in California law are shown in Table 6. In the FY
2010-11 Workplan, the county proposed meeting the higher inspection frequencies under the HSC.
However, due to limited resources, counties are typically held to the T22 inspection frequencies.

Inspection findings are documented on a standard form. Pre inspection procedures include apre-
inspection file review, review of chemical monitoring status, and generation of a current monitoring
schedule for each system source. During the inspection, county staff assesses water system facilities,
review system operational procedures, and document any system deficiencies. The inspection form is
completed in the office and provided to the water system representative with an updated monitoring
schedule and, if newly issued, a copy of the operating permit Table 8, below, compares the number of
PWS inspections planned for FY 2010-11 with those actually completed.
During FY 2010-11, 38 inspections were completed on 38 public water systems, as shown in Table 7.
The total number of inspections completed in FY 2010-11 represents 43% of the county's inventory of
SWSs, 181 % of the projected inspections in the county's FY 20'10-11 Workplan, and more than the
required number of inspections needed to maintain delegation.

LPA Monitoring Activities
{T22 §64256)
Bacteriological Monitoring
All county SWSs have a Bacteriological Sample Siting Plan on fife with the BCEHD. Sample Siting
Plans must be completed by the water system representative using a standard CDPH form.
Bacteriological Sample Siting Plans are updated whenever there is a change in ownership or when the
county or the water system determines that the Plan fs no longer current. Plans are reviewed as part of
a facility inspection. Section 6422(c) requires updated plan every ten years.
County staff typically conducts an onsite visit whenever a repeat sample is positive ar any sample,
routine or repeat, contains fecal contamination, even if there has not been a Total Coliform Rule (TCR)
violation. Fallowing the site visit and subsequent investigation, county staff recommends corrective
action(s), follow-up monitoring, and public notification. When appropriate the water system is
responsible for implementing the recommendations. Whenever a routine positive result triggers repeat
samples, the county requires collection of five {5) bacteriological samples the following month, as
called for in the TCR. The California Ground Water Rule (GWR) requires that ground water sources to
be sampled for total coGform and E. cols, in event of total colfform or E. coli positive routine sample from
the water system distribution system. The BSSP for each of the water system needs to be updated to
be compliant with the GWR and have a water system diagram showing the locations of distribution
sample sites, water storage facilities, pressure zones, and the permitted groundwater sources. CDPH
recommends that updating of the BSSPs be done at the time of a sanitary survey and site inspection.
During these activities water system personnel are available to sign the BSSP and verify the accuracy
of the diagram of the water system with sample site locations. In cases where a well is impacted by
fecal contamination and no correctible cause can be found, the Department recommends that a new
water source be developed and the subject well be properly destroyed.
Table S, attached, lists water systems chlorinating to minimize the risk of a TCR violation.
ChemicallRadio[ogical Water Quality Monitoring
The LPA provides monitoring schedules to all water systems twice a year and at the time of an
inspection. Chemical data submitted by the SWSs are received and reviewed by the program
specialist. The specialist establishes whether the system is in compliance with MCLs and monitoring
and reporting requirements. The specialist also advises the SWSs of any fallow-up sampling
requirements. When appropriate, the county grants monitoring waivers or monitoring frequency
reductions for specific synthetic organic chemicals (SOCs) and volatile organic chemicals (VOC),
similar to the waivers and reductions granted by CDPH's Valley District Office (District 21). Hard
copies of all chemical monitoring results are kept in the water system file. Each month, the CDPH staff
person responsible for Butte County sends the LPA, via email, the most current electronic reports for
historical trigger exceedances and chemical results.

Disinfectants and Disinfect"ron Byproducts Rule (DBPR)
The county tracks DBPR compliance among its community and nontransient noncommunity water
systems using spreadsheet software. All CWSs ('i4) and NTN (9) that chlorinate are currently on
three-year monitoring schedules for total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and haloacetic acids (HAA5).
Distribution system chlorine residuals are submitted with monthly bacteriological results. All LPA water
systems utilize groundwater sources, and as expected, disinfection byproducts concentrations are very
low.
Lead and Copper Rule (LCR)
The county uses spreadsheet software to track CWS and NTNCWS compliance with the tap-monitoring
provisions of the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR). Water systems with sources exceeding Action Levels
(AL; 0.0'i5 mglL for lead and 'I.3 mglL for copper), which are based on 90th percentile levels, may be
required to conduct corrosion control studies and provide corrosion control treatment. A CWS or
NTNCWS exceeding the AL for lead must complete a lead education program and replace any lead
service lines.
