    Intra-agency EPA Email from Aaron Setran to David Albright and Rich Campbell regarding increasing lab testing frequencies at Pine View Estates after learning that the subdivision does not chlorinate its drinking water. Sent on 4/17/12 at 9:46 a.m. CC:d to Roger Yates and Corine Li. Mr. Setran wrote, "At the mtg last week in Carson City (regarding Pineview Estates) I became aware that there is no requirement for chlorination of the drinking water system for the public water supply at the subdivision. "This is a bit unusual, and perhaps a bit unsafe given the problems with the injection wells at the site. There have been numerous coliform violations in the groundwater monitoring wells over the last 18 months.....the dw well is located near the leachfields, but pulls water from about a 500' depth. In addition, the current dw sampling requirements (see attachment below) only require monthly sampling for coliform, and only annual sampling for nitrate.....without exception, MCLs for nitrates in the ground water monitoring wells have been exceeded during the last 18 months. "It might be a good idea to have more frequent sampling for both coliform and nitrates from the dw while the problems with the wastewater injection wells are being addressed. There's a good chance that BIA will cover additional costs associated with increased sampling, but we may need to get a bit "pushy" about it first."

    Fw: Pineview dw monitoring

    David/Rich:
    At the mtg last week in Carson City (regarding Pineview Estates) I became aware that there is no
    requirement for chlorination of the drinking water system for the public water supply at the subdivision.
    This is a bit unusual, and perhaps a bit unsafe given the problems with the injection wells at the site.
    There have been numerous coliform violations in the groundwater monitoring wells over the last 18
    months.....the dw well is located near the leachfields, but pulls water from about a 500' depth. In addition,
    the current dw sampling requirements (see attachment below) only require monthly sampling for coliform,
    and only annual sampling for nitrate.....without exception, MCLs for nitrates in the ground water
    monitoring wells have been exceeded during the last 18 months.
    It might be a good idea to have more frequent sampling for both coliform and nitrates from the dw while
    the problems with the wastewater injection wells are being addressed. There's a good chance that BIA
    will cover additional costs associated with increased sampling, but we may need to get a bit "pushy" about
    it first.
