| Oct 22, 2024 | Primary focus of this project is to identify an optimal technology that will be implemented at both of our water treatment facilities to address PFAS related compounds in our source waters. Our current approach utilizes MCL proposals from EPA, and a draft timeline for implementation. Such low limits and quick implementation of an MCL has forced am accelerated response to address a proposed MCL. Consequences included implementation of a technology that will work, but may not be optimal from an operation and maintenance perspective nor an efficient use of rate payer dollars. Ultimately, a detailed evaluation focused on both PFAS compounds outlined in the proposed MCL along with their precursors will benefit public health by identifying optimal removal and destruction technologies specific to our source water and treatment approaches.

| Oct 22, 2024 | The proposed project will include an evaluation of the various treatment options that are known to remove PFAS. This includes advanced treatment options such as Granular Activated Carbon (GAC), Anion Exchange (AIX), and Reverse Osmosis (RO)/Nanofiltration (NF), at a minimum. In addition, benefits of feeding increased dosages of Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) will be evaluated. The study will involve research and bench scale testing to determine the efficiency of PFAS removal for each option. In addition, the study will evaluate which of these treatments, or combination of treatment, is also capable of treating MIB and Geosmin, which would be an added benefit to ensure the City is capable of treating the water to minimize taste and odor concerns during future algal blooms. This will include a review of theefficiency, required footprint, upfront capital costs, maintenance costs, residuals/solids handling, ease of operation, and long-term impacts.

| Oct 22, 2024 | The proposed study will include testing of both raw water sources for precursors included in the approved EPA 1633 method as well as EPA 533. The testing will include both raw and finished water as well as levels at different stages of treatment to assist with determining future PFAS treatment in addition to determining which step the proposed technology would be included. PFAS capture technologies such as GAC and ion exchange resin or membranes such as RO and nanofiltration as well as PFAS destruction such as those selected from supercritical water oxidation, electrochemical oxidation and incineration will be evaluated. The requirements of the proposed technologies will be studied with respect to efficacy, infrastructure needs, costs, and compatibility with future PFAS treatment technologies. The study will include a survey of the current and future facility, permitting requirements, design options, and other environmental factors.

| Oct 22, 2024 | This project is an engineering planning and design project for PFAS removal at GBPW's clearwell/high service pump complex. The PFAS treatment system will be designed to treat 18 MGD from GBPW's two WTPs. Planning activities include an evaluation of PFAS removal technologies to select up to two (2) suitable technologies for pilot testing (based on performance and expected operating costs), development and execution of pilot testing for the selected technologies, and preparation of a pilot test report documenting the tests and recommending an alternative for full-scale implementation. Design activities include preparation of a PER suitable for technical and funding agency approval and design and permitting of the recommended system in anticipation that separate construction funds will be secured by GBPW.

| Oct 22, 2024 | The scope of this project is to retain the services of Garver to perform an evaluation of the Greer CPW WTP 's ability and methodology to treat emerging emerging contaminants. In particular the improvements that will be necessary to treat PFAS. The SCDHEC Ambient Surface Water Project as well as supplemental sampling shows PFAS levels in the surrounding area approaching MCLs proposed/discussed by EPA in the proposed PFAS National PDWR. If EPA finalizes these regulations at the proposed/discussed levels, additional treatment process could be required at the WTP. This project will include preliminary analysis, testing, process evaluations, preliminary engineering reports, and others studies required to determine the best course of action to meet the required levels.

| Oct 22, 2024 | An initial desktop evaluation demonstrated that a new adsorptive contactor PFAS treatment facility to treat the full capacity of the drinking WTP would cost $55M to $64M. However, there may be more cost-effective ways to comply with the regulation. This project is focused on confirming that existing historical PFAS monitoring data is sufficient for design- making purposes, optimizing the costs associated with the preliminary desktop study, and exploring alternative compliance routes. Alternative compliance routes will include alternative or supplementary water sources, PAC adsorption, and designing PFAS treatment for a fraction of the total design demand. Each alternative will be evaluated with respect to their feasibility, complexity, impact to WTP operations, and cost. The outcome of the project will be to identify the alternative that is most effective for ODPU, and prepare a PER. On SRF fundable list (Provisional Priority List) | $500k | Source, p. 20 → |
| Oct 22, 2024 | Sampling data has shown that the PFOS and PFOA levels in the source water for the Lake Moultrie Regional Water System are above the new EPA limits. A PFAS treatment study has been completed for this facility in order to evaluate known treatment options. The next step in determining the best treatment option is to conduct bench-scale testing to further evaluate the performance of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) and to conduct pilot scale testing of Power Activated Carbon (PAC) for removing PFAS from the source water.
