SOURCE WATER ASSESSMENT PROJECT
AUGUSTA - RICHMOND COUNTY
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The 1996 Amendments to the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) brought about
a new approach for ensuring clean and safe drinking water served by public water
supplies in the United States. Building upon the past strengths of the Surface Water
Treatment Rule, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the Georgia
Environmental Protection Division (GAEPD) are now advocating prevention as an
important tool in the protection of public water supplies from contamination. In order
to implement prevention and protection, an assessment of potential sources of pollution
and contamination near the source must first be conducted.
The study area for this project includes the intake catchment watershed regions for the
following public water systems that utilize surface water sources. This study requires
close coordination between officials in Richmond, Columbia, McDuffie, Wilkes,
Burke, and Lincoln counties. Additionally, the appropriate parties located in the
portion of the watershed that extends into South Carolina are to be coordinated with
closely.

TASK 2 - COMMUNICATION PLAN
To gain strong public support, a Source Water Protection Plan requires integration of science
and public involvement. In order to achieve this support, a communication plan will be
developed and implemented throughout the duration of the project. The purpose of a
communication plan is to outline the potential activities, materials, and strategies that will,
when implemented, function as an integrated communications program and provide needed
support for the project team. The public information and education task of the Watershed
Assessment Study (W A) will be closely coordinated with these efforts to minimize the cost
and maximize the exposure to the stakeholders of the AUD's two studies.
2.1 Task Force Development
As requested by GAEPD, in order to complete assessments, a Task Force will be
identified to work with ADD. This Task Force, serving as a technical and citizen advisory
committee, will provide direction and make decisions on critical issues for the project. In
addition, the Task Force will assist with completion of tasks: to delineate of assessment
areas, to locate and inventory potential pollutant and contamination sources that could effect
the water source intakes, and to determine susceptibility for each of intakes.
2.1.1 PARSONS will assist the AUD in establishing a Task Force by soliciting
members from the following interested parties.
. Water system owners in the study area;
· Municipalities, USACOE, GAEPD, EP A;
. Members of Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) of Watershed Assessment Study;
. Representatives of homeowner's associations, environmental groups, public interest
groups, public health groups, vulnerable population groups, business groups,
farmers, land conservation groups, wastewater treatment operators, churches,
developers, and others.

Augusta/Richmond AUD
2.1.2
PARSONS will carefully coordinate Task Force activities, such as meeting and
public forums, with the Task Force and interested stakeholders. PARSONS will
conduct four (4) Task Force working meetings to discuss work results of the
project tasks. Meetings will be held separately for:
. Formation of Task Force and delegation of responsibilities;
. Review and comment on delineation of assessment areas and initial inventory of
pollutant and contamination sources;
· Finalization of initial inventory and guidance for susceptibility methodology;
. Review and acceptance of susceptibility determination.
2.1.3 P ARSONS will assist the Task Force and AUD with public involvement,
awareness, and educational activities. Various recommended tools for these types of
activities are newsletters, utility bill inserts, interactive presentations, special events, media
releases, and traveling displays and exhibits. These activities will be carefully coordinated
with public outreach activities involved in the Watershed Assessment. Both projects will be
networked to stakeholders simultaneously to provide outreach and education that is cost-
effective. The SWAP specific information will be included as a section within all Watershed
Assessment materials.
2.2 Communication Elements
To accomplish the communication plan, GAEPD requests that particular communication
elements be considered for implementation including the following required items.
2.2.1 P ARSONS will develop a stand-alone Source Water Assessment and Protection
(SWAP) Report that is "public-friendly". This report will be created for each of the
participating water system's drinking water intakes. This report will be made widely available
via the website, public libraries, 100 mailings, and other means. In addition, up to l,OOO
notifications describing, in detail, how one can obtain a hard copy of the report will be
provided at the various public meetings. At a defined cost, the public will be permitted to
request a copy of the report through postage return mail cards, a call-in number, and Internet
posting.
2.2.2 PARSONS will help coordinate up to eight Public Forum Meetings to provide the
public with assessment results and to facilitate public input. This will include new and
existing public forums to discuss the SWAP.
2.2.3 PARSONS will provide a summary of the SWAP report finding to each
participating water system to be included in their Consumer Confidence Report (CCR).
Information about how to obtain access to the report will also be included in the CCR.

TASK 3 - DELINEATION OF SURFACE WATER INTAKE DRAINAGE
AREAS
3.1 Project Study Area
The study area for this project includes the watersheds that drain surface water to the six
(6) participating, public water systems. These systems belong to AUD of Augusta /
Richmond County, Columbia County, AUD of Lincolnton, AUD of Thomson / McDuffie
County, AUD of Washington, and AUD of Waynesboro. This study will require close
coordination between the listed jurisdictions as well as the appropriate parties in the portion
of the watershed that extends into South Carolina.
3.2 Initial Delineation
An initial delineation of the watershed that drains to each surface drinking water intakes
of the participating water systems has been developed by GAEPD. GAEPD used the
complete USGS HUC units to define the outer boundaries and upper reaches of the
watershed and then delineate the lower watershed boundaries near the intake. GAEPD made
it available to PARSONS.
3.3 Final Delineation
P ARSONS will further refine the initial watershed delineation based on more detailed
topography.
3.3.1 Delineate surface water watershed of Clarks Hill Lake (Reservoir), and obtain
GAEPD's concurrence with any adjustments to the area delineated.
3.3.2 Research additional, finer scale maps, conduct reconnaissance field survey to
verify accuracy, and modify and correct the GAEPD's initial delineation.
3.3.3 Construct GIS theme coverages, for the assessment areas (idenfitied in Task 4.1),
including significant geographic features of the watershed such as AUD
boundaries, cities, major roads, major railroads, major streams, major water
bodies, and other political boundaries. Several of these coverages will be
provided under the Watershed Assessment work. GIS coverages are to be
conformed to the GAEPD required formats.
3.3.4 Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) Regional Development Center (RDC) is
updating landuse data in the project area. However, the RDC schedule is too late
to allow the project to have the most recent data. Parsons will search other data
sources for later than 1995 landuse information.
TASK 4 - DELINEATION OF ASSESSMENT AREAS
The entire watershed that drains to a surface drinking water intake is considered the
Source Water Protection Area (SWAP). However, for a cost and time effective analysis,
both USEPA and GAEPD's Advisory Committee realize that smaller areas or segments of
watersheds and buffer zones should be used for the purpose of inventorying potential
6
C:\TEMP\SCOPES-ll,DOC
. ,
.
Source Water Assessment Project-
Augusta/Richmond AUD
pollution sources, determining susceptibility, and initiating protection approaches. To
complete the Task, PARSONS will perform the following:
4.1 Delineate the Assessment Area
For six (6) public drinking water systems, the PARSONS team will delineate the
Assessment Area (AA) using the GAEPD proposed method - 7/20-mile management zones.
These AAs will be adjusted and checked for practical purposes using a systematic method
developed by PARSONS.
4.2 Develop a Method for Clarks Hill Reservoir
The PARSONS team will delineate an Assessment Area for Clarks Hill Reservoir by
using the GAEPD recommended approach of 7/20-mile management zones, the ~ mile
buffer or a combination of the two based upon the location of the intake. Any adjustments to
this approach to ensure the AA is implementable, practical, and cost effective with AUD will
be coordinated with GAEPD and AUD.
4.3 Advise Task Force
PARSONS will present the SWAP to the Task Force and summarize the methodology in
aTM.
TASK 5 - WATER SAMPLE DATA
In order to establish a baseline of water quality, surface water sampling is essential. The
existing water quality data consists of 305b lists, 303d reports, sample data from the
Domestic Wastewater Watershed Assessment, and any published work for EP A, USACOE,
or USGS. The sampling data from the Watershed Assessment may also be used to get a
better indication of the status of the streams. Additional water sampling for this project will
not be required.
5.1 For existing water quality sample data, PARSONS will:
5.1.1 Long term monitoring data, NPDES Phase I data, wastewater effluent, and/or
industrial discharge will be collected for the counties and Assessment Areas using the
GAEPD proposed method of 7/20- mile management zones.
5.1.2 Apply statistical procedures to the data to characterize water quality III the
watershed and investigate water quality trend.
5.1.3 Document the analyses to assess the water quality within the designated SWAP.
5.2 Cryptosporidium Sampling
Cryptosporidium parvum in drinking water has become a national concern. PARSONS
will conduct raw water sampling for the surface water sources under direct inf1vence sources
for Cryptosporidium. Results from the sampling will be included in the source plans.
7
C:\TEMP\SCOPES-II.DOC
. ..
Source Water Assessment Project-
Augusta/Richmond AUD
5.2.1 Design a sampling plan, including site selection, sampling frequency, sampling
procedure; QA/QC plan, and sample analysis. This sampling plan for Cryptosporidium will
be included in the W A sampling plan.
5.2.2 Collect raw water samples as described in sampling plan. These samples will be
gathered monthly for all the surface water intake locations. Raw water sampling will be last
for at least 6 months. (Although, the AUD had historical data between July 1997 and
January 1999.)
5.2.3 GAEPD will provide a lab to test samples for Cryptosporidium.
5.2.4 Analyze sampling results and report on finding
TASK 6 - POTENTIAL POLLUTION AND CONTAMINANT SOURCE
INVENTORY
This task includes the collection and presentation of potential pollution and
contamination sources. P ARSONS will collect data following GAEPD guidance and will
construct a database in GIS framework to analyze and present the data to the Task force.
6.1 Compile and Organize
Compile and organize a preliminary list of potential contaminants for each drinking
water intake catchment area and inventory data sources. A multi-pronged approach of
considering both contaminants and contaminant information sources will be used to complete
this task. This approach, as a minimum, will include the following steps:
6.1.1 Identify potential sources and/or categories of sources and the likely contaminants
that they would contribute. A draft list of sources that will be used for this project
is shown in Table 1.

The likely contaminants of these sources will be identified when performing the tasks listed
below.
· Review lists from USEP A and GA GAEPD SWAP guidance documents.
Water Quality 305(b) report
. NPDES Storm Water Program
· Local Watershed Initiatives and Assessments
. GAEPD River Basin Management Plan
. GAEPD Well-Head Protection Program, etc.
· Visit up to 200 sites using visual reconnaissance and site interview, to
determine where possible the type of chemical that may be released into
the environment by a potential pollution source. Additional information
will be gathered from the watershed assessment where up to 800 sites are
inventoried.
. Identify potential contaminants including but not limited to those
regulated under SDW A MCLs, Georgia GAEPD Underground Storage
Tanks (UST) Program, and other potential regulations to identify the
likely sources.
· Interview water managers and review monitoring data. (Interview up to 6
staff)
. Conduct literature review including research conducted by USGS,
USACOE, GAEPD, and Universities.
. Interview GAEPD Water Quality and Drinking Water staff
· Regional data (i.e. South Carolina) will be searched and evaluated
6.1.2 Present potential contaminant sources and their potential threat to the water
supply systems to Task Force.
6.1.3 Produce a TM outlining the list of potential contaminants and list of relevant
existing data sources.

6.2 Screen Potential Contaminants
The Task Force will discuss the list and identify the need for further data collection. The
Task Force will discuss criteria and consider as appropriate such aspects as time of travel,
water source to be impacted, size of watershed, short or long term impacts, future trends, and
the extent (temporal/spatial) as to which data is necessary to make susceptibility
determinations.
6.3 Data Collection
This subtask includes collecting data for potential contaminants using the list developed
by the Task Force as well as other potential pollution sources that may impact surface water
quality.
6.3 .1 PARSONS will collect and analyze the available data. This will include a clear
description of sources of contamination (or categories of sources) by location or
area. Data collected in the Watershed Assessment work will be helpful in the
SWAP and PARSONS will coordinate efforts between the two studies
6.3.2 The PARSONS team will provide a TM discussing the implication where lack of
data limits ability to make source susceptibility determinations.
6.3.3 A TM will be developed for AUD providing recommendations for any additional
data collection in future programs. Recommendations will integrate data needs
with existing programs' data collection efforts.
6.3.4 Results will be presented to the Task Force.
6.4 Organize the data and results in GIS database
A database will be created in order to provide the ability to query information, create
graphical representations of the queries, and print maps illustrating the results. This database
will be compatible with the AUD's GIS and meeting GAEPD's GIS requirements.
PARSONS staff will coordinate closely with the ADD's GIS department and GAEPD's
SWAP staff.
TASK 7 - SUSCEPTIBILITY DETERMINATION
In addition to following GAEPD guideline, PARSONS will further investigate methods
to facilitate susceptibility determinations.
7.1 Methodology
PARSONS will utilize the susceptibility determination methodology described in the
GAEPD Source Water Assessment Implementation Plan. PARSONS will work with the Task
Force to refme this methodology, as appropriate for the study region. This process may
include performing susceptibility analysis "dry runs" for evaluation by the Task Force. The
State's method provides a qualitative measure (high, medium, low) for determining the level
of susceptibility the surface water intake has to potential pollution sources upstream. In
10
C:\TEMP\SCOPE5--11,DOC
Source Water Assessment Project-
Augusta/Richmond AUD
determining susceptibility, there are two issues that are addressed; 1) the potential for the
contaminant to reach surface water the surface water intake and, 2) the risk the contaminant
poses to the drinking water supply. A TM will summarize the susceptibility determination.
7.2 Risk Assessment
The potential release and risk assessment for non-point sources will be determined using
the recently updated land use data from the AUD's planning department. Using GIS and the
GAEPD priority ranking criteria, PARSONS will establish weight measures for each
category of high, medium and low, and coordinate these efforts with the Task Force.
7.3 Nonpoint Source Evaluation
To assess non-point source pollutant loading, PARSONS will develop a spreadsheet
model to evaluate pollutant loadings to each source water intake. The pollutant loading will
be affected by local pollution sources in response to topography, hydrology, and hydraulic of
the environment. Pollutant loadings to be estimated are TSS, fecal coliform bacteria,
nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous). Special concerns of metal contamination and/or other
parameters can also be assessed. The Watershed Assessment project includes the
development of a calibrated BASINS model. That BASINS model will be used to verify the
spreadsheet model used in this study.
7.3 Advanced Assessment
PARSONS will create a matrix to help determine the susceptibility of the source water
intakes. This matrix will include weighed factors for various concerns and will combine
these concerns to assess the overall potential risk. The weighed factors will be prioritized
with the main emphasis on sources, which represent a high potential of release and pose a
large threat to the intake. Each source will be plotted on a chart in relation to the other
sources with the axes representing the potential risk. PARSONS will facilitate a workshop
with AUD to discuss the assessment process including the ranking of alternatives.
TASK 8 - SOURCE WATER PROTECTION PLAN
This task includes the development of a Source Water Protection Plan for the study area.
A source water assessment is intended to provide a comprehensive evaluation of conditions
and risks in and around drinking water sources. The Source Water Protection Plan is the
culmination of all tasks involved in the assessment of chemical, physical, and biological
indicators of the health of the water supply system. The critical role of the Protection Plan is
to lead the appropriate parties to implementable measures of protecting and improving the
sources of drinking water if the assessment indicates impending threats. The implementable
measures will be prioritized and a shown as an action plan for the appropriate parties to take
the next step to ensure protection of the water supply systems. Maximum flexibility is
afforded by GAEPD to each local government and system owner to provide protection within
the resources and schedules the plan recommended, and the identified action plan will be
coordinated with GAEPD. The final plan will be incorporated by GAEPD into system
owners' permits as appropriate and only to the extent of legal authority to implement that is
11
C:\TEMP\SCOPES-ll,DOC
. ,
Source Water Assessment Project-
Augusta/Richmond ADD
available to the system owners. The results of the source water assessment will be
incorporated in the protection plan.
8.1 PARSONS will coordinate with GAEPD gaining acceptance of the action items and
the priorities set
8.2 PARSONS will deliver a draft Protection Plan to AUD.
8.3 PARSONS and AUD will meet to discuss requested revisions.
8.4 PARSONS will incorporate these revisions into a final Protection Plan.
8.5 As described in Task 2.2, PARSONS will issue a "public-friendly" SWAP report.
PRELIMINARY LIST OF TASK DELIVERABLES
The following is a list of task deliverables. PARSONS will submit the deliverables to
the AUD. If there are no objections to the quality or completeness of the deliverable within
one week, it will be considered accepted. Comments on the work will be due to Project
