This the tool you can use to see what samples you are missing
What is the AIMS Tool
This is the public notice tier that needs to be completed within 1 year
What is Tier 3 Public Notice?
This is the most effective type of back flow prevention METHOD.
What is an air gap?
This is the frequency required for the periodic inspection.
What is quarterly?
This is the maximum hold time for a total coliform sample from collection to laboratory analysis
What is 30 hours?
This is the date the CCRs are due each year
What is June 30th?
This is the public tier level that has serious risk over short term exposure
What is Tier 1 Public Notice?
This is the type of back flow phenomenon that is most likely to occur during a line break.
What is back siphonage?
This is the public notification tier required if a storage tank inspection is not performed or documented
What is tier 2?
This is why coliform sample bottles should NOT be rinsed before sampling
What is because they contain sodium thiosulfate?
What is upload to file cabinet then submit to the portal?
This is the document required to submit after the public notice has been presented to the community.
What is the certificate of delivery?
This is the three conditions that are required to be present in order to have cross connection contamination
A Cross Connection- direct or indirect
Hazard- health or non-health (need to have a source of contamination
Hydraulic Condition- back siphonage or backpressure
This is the definition of a finished storage tank according to CDPHE
A tank or vessel owned by the supplier that is located downstream of the entry point and is not pressurized at the air water interface. Pressurized storage tanks are not included in the definition of finished water storage tanks
This sample uses Sodium Thiosulfate as a dichlorination agent.
What is Total Coliform?
These are the two things you need to submit to the CDPHE once you have delivered the CCRs to the public
What is a copy of the report you delivered AND the certificate of delivery form?
This is 1 reason out of the 5-6 discussed in class for when you should call the CDPHE 24-hour incident report line 1-877-518-5608
▪Tampering
▪Waterborne disease outbreak
▪All other waterborne emergencies
▪failure in key water treatment processes
▪disaster that disrupts supply or distribution system
Cross connection contamination
This is the documentation that systems need to keep in regard to the backflow prevention program.
•Results of surveys
•Method inspections and Assembly tests
•Date of discovery/control for all identified uncontrolled cross-connections for each calendar year.
what is 24 mesh screen?
This is the standard temperature that Total Coliform samples should arrive at the lab for compliance purposes.
What is =/< 4 degrees Celsius or 39.2 Fahrenheit
This is the two pieces of information you need to include from the monitoring schedule when submitting laboratory samples
What is the sample point identification and facility identification?
This is a list of at least 5 of the 10 things required on a public notice.
1.Description of the violation or situation including contaminant(s) of concern and levels
2.When the violation or situation occurred
3.Any potential adverse health effects
4.The population at risk; including vulnerable populations
5.Whether alternate water supplies should be used
6.What actions consumers should take, including when to seek medical help, if known
7.What the system is doing to correct the violation or situation
8.When the system expects to return to compliance or resolve the situation
9.Contact information of the water system
10.A statement encouraging notice recipients to distribute the notice to other persons served
This is all 4 sections required for the Annual Backflow Report
•Survey Process: includes who all needs to be surveyed ect.
•Cross-Connection Section: include all controlled and uncontrolled connections
•Combined Compliance Ratio: summarizes backflow assemblies and methods
•Untested Assembly Tracking
This is all 4 of the items required for the storage tank inspection plan
•Tank Inventory
•Inspection Methods
•Inspection Schedule
•Sanitary Defect Corrective Action Schedules
Routine, repeat and this non-compliance sample type is used after main breaks or repairs.
What is a special sample?
