Presented by:

APEC Meeting
September 27, 2013
DPR Frameworks
• Reality in Texas – guidance under development• On the radar in Florida – DPR demonstration in the
planning stages• The California DPR Initiative• Arizona’s SCAPR
California DPR
Partnership of WRRF and WateReuse California $8-10 million+ in three years • Member agencies • Engineers • Foundations Activities • Research focused on direct potable reuse • DPH expert panels per SB 918 • Education and outreach
California DPR – Research Priorities
Source water management Treatment • Critical control points – Monitoring – Controls
• Reliability/resiliency • Water quality goals Operations and operator controls Communication plan
DPR is Cost-Competitive
From: Dave Smith, WateReuse California
SCAPR Objectives - Refresher
1. Identify impediments2. Define a common terminology3. Gather best practices, state of the industry
information, and case studies4. Track CA and TX efforts5. Create Advisory Panels6. Conduct a scoping process to provide
recommendations to ADEQ/ADWR7. Develop a road map to potable reuse in Arizona
Schedule• Workshop on Technology in line with the WateReuse
Research Conference in May 2013• Meet with APEC May 2013 and coordinate moving
forward, next meeting September 2013• Workshop on Public Acceptance in line with the AZ
WateReuse Conference in July 2013• Set up workshop on Water Quality Regulations in line
with the DPR Conference (CA) in November 2013• Conclude this phase before January 2014
Tech Toolbox Outcomes
• Not a “one size fits all” technology solution• Develop a table of treatment technology options
with targeted results• Develop a decision support flow chart for treatment
trains– Input starting point– Input desired outcome(s)
• Support with case studies and prior work
Public Acceptance Workshop
• 20 participants• Baseline presentations• Discussion of three questions:
1. What are the characteristics of a successful program?
2. What are the best practices?3. How do we define success?
Public Acceptance Outcomes (Partial)
• Build trust, which also means start early• Have a structure and a timeline for decisions• Use clear and consistent terminology• Make a compelling case for investment• Engage trusted experts• Cultivate trusted community champions
Option 2 – Just wait for the crisis to hit…..Model Public Communication Plan for Advancing DPR AcceptanceWateReuse-13-02
Water Quality Regulations
• Develop a draft framework–Performance-based– “Permit-able”– Flexible
• Shoot holes in the draft –(Subject matter experts)
• Refine as basis for discussion
Advisory Panel on Emerging Contaminants
Unregulated compoundsAll aspects of the water cycle• Chemical compounds• Biological • Public education
What do we need to know for potable reuse?
