Acknowledgements

This Plan is the result of many people and organizations coming together to produce a

comprehensive protection plan which will result in lowering the risk of contamination of the Ohio

River and protecting the quality of drinking water in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky

regions. The planning process could not have moved forward without the support of the

management of both GCWW and NKWD. Specifically the authors wish to thank Ms. Cathy

Bailey, Director of the GCWW and Mr. Ron Lovan, President and CEO of the NKWD, for

embracing the concepts of source water protection and supporting development of this plan. The

planning committee would also like to thank Mr. Jerry Schulte, Mr. Sam Dinkins, Ms. Lila

Ziolkowski, Mr. Travis Luncan and Mr. Richard Harrison of ORSANCO for their continued

support throughout the development of this plan.

The planning efforts were also supported by a variety of regulators including Ms. Barb Lubbugger,

Ms. Allison Reed and Ms. Megan Marhelski of the Ohio EPA and Ms. Julia Harrod, Ms. Jessica

Moore, and Mr. Chris Yeary of the Kentucky Division of Water. GCWW and NKWD are grateful

for the support and input we received from a number of stakeholders throughout the planning

process, all of whom are listed in Section 1 of the report. Finally, we are grateful for the support

and encouragement we received from a number of fellow source water protection professionals

working both within and outside the Ohio River basin.

Executive Summary

The following document is the Source Water Protection Plan

prepared jointly by the Greater Cincinnati Water Works

(GCWW) and the Northern Kentucky Water District (NKWD),

with assistance from the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation

Commission (ORSANCO), for the Richard Miller Treatment

Plant and the Ft. Thomas Water Treatment Plant (GCWW and

NKWD, respectively) both of which draw water from the Ohio

River near Cincinnati, Ohio. The plan includes a delineation of

the source of water for the two utilities, a description of

potential sources of natural and man-made contamination, and

management programs designed to minimize the risks

associated with each of the potential contaminant sources. The

scope of this Plan is limited to protecting the drinking water

resources in the vicinity of GCWW and NKWD.

GCWW and NKWD operate community public water systems

that together provide water to approximately 1.4 million people

in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Metropolitan

area. The bulk of water for both systems is supplied by the

Ohio River. GCWW supplies about 12% of its water from the

Charles M. Bolton Well Field in Butler County, Ohio. NKWD

also operates two smaller surface water plants, the Memorial

Parkway Treatment Plant on the Ohio River and the Taylor Mill

Plant, which uses water from the Licking River to supply about

12% of its consumption. Jointly, GCWW and NKWD have the

capacity to withdraw approximately 270 million gallons per

day (MGD) from the Ohio River.

Using surface water (i.e., rivers, lakes, streams, etc.) as a source

of drinking water presents a number of unique challenges for

water utility managers ranging from maintaining an adequate

raw water supply to dealing with chronic or acute

contamination events. Withdrawing water from the Ohio River

presents many additional challenges for a water utility. Not

only does the Ohio River pose all of the typical treatment

What is Source

Water Protection?

Source Water

Protection is part of the

Safe Drinking Water

Act amendments of

1996. Surface water

(streams, rivers, and

lakes) or ground water

can serve as sources of

drinking water and is

referred to as “source

water”.

Protecting source

water from

contamination can

reduce treatment costs

and reduces risks to

public health from

exposures to

contaminated water.

concerns of a surface water source such as the removal of potentially harmful pathogens, but the

size, and uses of the Ohio River pose additional source water protection concerns.

The Source Water Protection Program comprises the first barrier in the multiple-barrier strategies

employed by both GCWW and NKWD designed to ensure a sustainable source of safe drinking

water for their customers. Furthermore, the Source Water Protection Program is also a potential

cost savings program for each utility. By maintaining or improving the source water quality,

GCWW and NKWD may be able to reduce the cost to treat the water resulting in savings for both

utilities and ultimately in lower rates for the customers.

To facilitate the development of the protection program, the following list of goals were

developed for the Source Water Program, each of which will be addressed throughout this Plan:

1. Build a partnership between GCWW and the NKWD, with support from ORSANCO,

to jointly develop and administer an interstate source water protection program.

2. Maintain or improve the quality of the water in the Ohio River upstream of the

GCWW/NKWD intakes.

3. Help ensure that GCWW and NKWD receive timely notification of upstream spills and

releases and that the utilities’ needs are met during spill response actions.

4. Minimize the potential for accidental industrial releases to the Ohio River or major

tributaries upstream of the GCWW/NKWD intakes.

5. Improve communication between GCWW/NKWD and upstream industries including

barge and railroad companies

6. Educate the public, upstream industries, and civic groups of the importance of

protecting the Ohio River as a source of drinking water for the greater

Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region.

7. Update and maintain an inventory of potential contaminant sources in the upstream

watershed with a particular emphasis on the Zone of Critical Concern (ZOCC).

The Ohio River Basin covers a total of 204,000 square miles, 71,000 square miles of which

comprise the area upstream of the GCWW and NKWD intakes. The intakes are located southeast

of Cincinnati, approximately 460 miles downstream of the river’s headwaters formed by the

confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Ohio

River watershed is a complex network of creeks, lakes, reservoirs, streams, and rivers. The

upstream portion of the Ohio River basin relative to GCWW/NKWD is comprised of portions of

Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, western New York, western Virginia, North

Carolina, and a small portion of Tennessee. The upstream area, if it were a state, would be the 18th

largest state (based on total area) in the U.S., between South Dakota and Washington. Looked at

another way, the upstream watershed is approximately the size of New England (Massachusetts,

Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Rhode Island) and is larger than half of the

countries in Europe.

Due to the size and complexity of the Ohio River Basin, ORSANCO coordinated the development

of a source water assessment strategy for the Ohio River. Designed as an aid for protection

planning, this strategy provides a uniform approach to delineating the source water protection areas

for utilities on the river. The strategy was developed in conjunction with US EPA and

ORSANCO’s member states and it proposes a tiered delineation scheme to facilitate the

development of reasonable protection and management strategies. GCWW and NKWD have

adopted the ORSANCO delineation scheme. The three management zones are:

The Zone of Critical Concern is the innermost management zone and constitutes the source water

closest to the intakes and the zone in which time-critical actions must be taken whenever an event

affects the water quality in the river. The extent of the ZOCC is defined as the reach of the Ohio

River from a point 0.25 miles downstream of the intakes to 25 miles upstream of the intakes and

includes a corridor of 0.25 miles on the banks on either side of the river. The ZOCC also extends

up the significant tributaries within that 25.25 mile zone including Twelvemile Creek in Kentucky

and Twelvemile, and Indian Creeks in Ohio. From a practical standpoint, the ZOCC extends from

just upstream of the confluence of the Little Miami River to just downstream of the Captain

Anthony Meldahl Locks and Dam.

The second management zone is called the Zone of High Concern (ZOHC) and comprises the same

25.25 mile reach of the main stem of the Ohio but rather than being limited to the 0.25 miles on

the riverbanks, extends to the limits of the watershed and includes all the smaller sub-watersheds

and tributaries in that area. The total area of the combined ZOCC and ZOHC comprises 259 square

miles; 144 mi2 in Ohio and 115 mi2 in Kentucky (Ohio EPA, 2005).

The outermost source water management zone (Extended

Upstream Watershed or Zone 3) is the entire drainage basin of the

Ohio River upstream of the GCWW and NKWD intakes. As

previously indicated, this zone comprises approximately 71,000

sq. miles spread over portions of eight states. It extends from the

Eastern Continental Divide in western Pennsylvania and West

Virginia and south from the St. Lawrence Divide in northern

Ohio. The area in Kentucky is limited to the counties closest to

the river due to the extent of the Licking River basin in central

Kentucky. Zone 3 includes most of the state of West Virginia and

over half of the state of Ohio.

Despite the river’s long history as an industrialized corridor, it is

an excellent source of drinking water. There are 33 water utilities

that draw water from the river that collectively serve over 5

million people with safe drinking water every day. Thanks in part

to the navigational dams on the river, but also due to an

abundance of precipitation throughout the watershed, the quantity

of water available in the Ohio River far exceeds the demand and

the river can easily accommodate all the competing usages. Since

the inception of pollution control standards for the river by

ORSANCO in the 1948 and the subsequent benefits of the Clean

Water Act which was passed in 1972, the water quality in the

Ohio River has been improving. The large volume of water in the

river means that incidental spills that would have a dramatic

impact on the water quality of smaller streams and rivers are

barely, if ever, detected in the Ohio River.

The upstream watershed includes geographic areas historically

associated with specific industries or natural resources. These

areas include:

Steel-production and related industries in western

PA and eastern Ohio.

Agriculture throughout the region but especially

in central Ohio.

Oil and gas extraction, including unconventional (horizontal) wells, in southeastern

Ohio, western PA, and western WV.

Coal mining throughout West Virginia, eastern Kentucky and southeastern Ohio.

Chemical and petrochemical industries along the length of the river from Pittsburgh,

Pennsylvania to Portsmouth, Ohio and upstream on the Kanawha River to Charleston,

West Virginia.

Coal-fired electric power generating stations along the length of the Ohio River.

The potential contaminant source inventory (PCSI) is instrumental to understanding the breadth of

the potential threats to the water quality in the Ohio River basin upstream of the GCWW/NKWD

intakes. The water quality threats to a river system as complex as the Ohio River are complicated,

change on a frequent basis, and require data from multiple sources to fully understand. Water

quality threats can take several forms including chemical storage, chemical transport, land-use

practices, agricultural runoff, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), permitted, illicit or

unintentional discharges, dissolution of naturally occurring minerals, and many others. Threats

can be discrete threats such as a permitted outfall or

combined sewer overflow or can be more regional such as runoff from agricultural fields or from

large parking lots. Additionally, threats to the Ohio River water quality can come from fixed

facilities such as electrical power plants and industrial facilities or can come from transient sources

such as barges, highway traffic, or rail transportation. Not all threats are chemical; runoff from

livestock grazing and concentrated feeding areas and excessive sediment runoff from construction

sites can also influence the water quality in the river and increase treatment costs.

Transient potential contaminant sources represent a significant management challenge within the

overall source water protection program. As one of the United States’ Great Rivers, the Ohio

River serves as a major corridor for transportation of raw materials and consumer goods. It is

common to observe multiple “tows” (i.e., multiple barges lashed together and pushed by a single

tow boat) travel past the GCWW/NKWD intakes in a single day. The cargo in these “tows” is

variable but often consists of coal, aggregate, grain, lime, liquid petroleum products or other bulk

chemical shipments.

The water quality threats to a river system as complex

as the Ohio River are complicated, change on a

frequent basis, and require data from multiple sources

to fully understand.

In addition to barge traffic, several railroad tracks are located within the source water protection

area including a line of tracks running adjacent to the Ohio River through the ZOCC and beyond.

These tracks are located near both the GCWW and the NKWD intakes and are typically within

visual distance from the river throughout their extent upstream.

Highway traffic also represents a significant potential threat to water quality in the Ohio River.

The Combs-Hehl Bridge is a double span steel cantilever bridge that spans the Ohio River

approximately 1 mile upstream of the intakes. The bridge was completed in 1979 and carries

Interstate Highway I-275 from Hamilton County, Ohio to Campbell County, Kentucky. Storm

water and drainage from the bridge discharge directly to the Ohio River. The bridge is

administered by the Kentucky Department of Transportation and carries approximately 57,000

vehicles including 2,700 trucks, everyday (OKI, 2007). Based on traffic and commodity flow

studies, approximately 10 (and sometimes up to 20) hazardous materials vehicles cross the bridge

every hour.

Other transportation-related potential contaminant sources exist, especially in the Extended

Watershed. Major Class 1 railroads cross the upstream watershed connecting industrial areas near

Detroit, Chicago and Cleveland to areas on the east coast. Since approximately 2013, these Class

1 railroads have also been used to transport crude oil from the Bakken fields in North Dakota to

refineries in New York, Delaware, and Virginia. Several major Interstate Highways, such as I-70

(which traverses middle of the upstream watershed), are major truck transportation routes. There

are multiple pipelines crisscrossing the upstream watershed, the majority of which are natural gas

and present little threat to drinking water quality. There are, however, several crude oil and

petroleum pipelines and likely chemical pipelines crossing the upstream area. Petroleum pipelines,

including a crude oil pipeline, cross the Ohio River near Catlettsburg, Kentucky.

To summarize, potential threats to the water quality in the Ohio River include (but are not limited

to):

Traffic accident resulting in the spill of hazardous materials on the Combs-Hehl Bridge.

Barge accidents (potential for both water quality impairment and/or physical damage to the

intake structure).

Spills and other accidental releases including storage tank failures,

Municipal waste water treatment discharges,

Industrial waste water discharges,

Home sewage disposal system discharges,

Page 16: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

xvi

Air contamination deposition,

Combined sewer overflows,

Runoff from urban, residential, mining, and agricultural areas,

Coal combustion residue (i.e., ash) released from impoundments near the river,

Oil and gas production and transportation (including associated pipelines),

Discharge of waste water and flow-back water from hydraulically fractured oil and gas

wells,

Illicit discharges ,

Railroad accidents and derailments,

Excessive nutrient concentrations and harmful algal blooms (HABs),

and Dissolution or redistribution of naturally-occurring minerals.

On average, there are at least 100 spills reported on the Ohio River upstream of GCWW/NKWD

every year. The majority of the spills are small and require no action by the utilities. There have

been several large historical events, however, that impacted the water quality and influenced the

manner in which Source Water Protection was conducted on the Ohio River for decades. Examples

of these historic spills include:

Intentional releases of Carbon Tetrachloride in 1977,

Catastrophic storage tank failure and release of 1 million gallons of diesel fuel in 1988,

Chemical plant fire resulting in ethylene dibromide (EDB) contamination of the River in

1994,

Release of 10,000 gallons of 4-methylcyclohexane-methanol from a storage tank failure in

2014,

Release of 9,000-gallons of diesel fuel from an overfill event in 2014.

Based on the PCSI and experiences gained during the large historical spills, GCWW and NKWD

have developed several management strategies to reduce the risk associated with each of these

threats. Due to the complexity of regulations that apply to the river and the number of agencies

and jurisdictions in the upstream area, both GCWW and NKWD desire to employ voluntary

strategies as much as possible during the implementation of this plan. The potential for seeking

regulatory assistance to implement these strategies exists but the program will start as a voluntary

program and will remain non-regulatory unless a regulatory approach becomes necessary.

The strategies include:

Page 17: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

xvii

Combs-Hehl Bridge Program

Transportation-Related Spill Notification and Mitigation

Voluntary Notification Program

New Regulation and Discharge Permit Application Review

Reservoir Water Quality Protection

Nutrient Reduction Program

Source Water Defender Recognition Program

In addition to the programs listed above, an active education and outreach program will enable the

GCWW and NKWD to raise the awareness of people and businesses about the sensitivity of the

Ohio River as a drinking water source and demonstrate how their activities impact our source

water, both positively and negatively. As in all aspects of this program, GCWW and NKWD will

adopt a cooperative approach and work with the several existing education foundations and non-

profit educational groups to promote our message.

In order to facilitate the various public education projects, a Public Education Committee (PEC)

will be formed. The PEC will comprise members from other outreach organizations and from

members of the Stakeholder Group. The PEC will develop and administer specific public outreach

programs based on input from the planning committee. One of the first tasks of the PEC will be

to develop a new name and logo for the NKWD-GCWW source water protection partnership.

Industry outreach programs will be developed to educate other river users about the presence of

our intakes, our concerns about water quality, and the necessity for clear and rapid communication

in the event of a spill.

Finally, outreach programs will be implemented to inform emergency response organizations and

other regulatory agencies about our drinking water concerns and our need for information during

response actions.

Spills and other events that impair the water quality in the Ohio River generally come in two forms:

a single event comprising an accidental or illicit discharge or an unknown, possibly chronic,

release detected by source water monitoring. Details of the monitoring are provided in Section

8.0. While GCWW and NKWD will respond to a spill in accordance with their individual spill

response plans, both utilities have reservoirs of raw or partially treated water that allows them to

continue to operate their plants for limited periods of time while pumping from the river is

Source Water Protection Plan

xviii

suspended and a contaminant plume passes. Furthermore, each utility possesses advanced

treatment technologies to potentially further protect the quality of the finished water.

Monitoring land use, industrial practices and water quality will be a part of the source water

protection program. The purpose of the monitoring is to identify conditions that could lead to

contaminants entering the river, establish baseline water quality, monitor for changes in baseline

water quality, and monitoring for spills and other releases.

As previously indicated, this Plan will result in an ongoing source water protection program. A

general implementation schedule for the first three years of this program is included in

Section 9. The plan will be re-evaluated periodically and revised as needed. Spill response plans

will be reviewed more frequently to ensure the contact information contained therein remains

updated. The sampling plan will be modified as needed based on changes to land use, new or

altered industrial facilities or discharges, emerging contaminants, etc.

The program will be jointly administered by GCWW and NKWD. It is anticipated that GCWW

and NKWD will provide resources as needed to properly execute the tasks. Water quality analyses

will be a combination of in-house analysis by either GCWW or NKWD or through a contract

laboratory.

1.0 Introduction

The following document is the Source Water Protection Plan (herein referred to as either SWPP

or the Plan) prepared jointly by the Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW) and the Northern

Kentucky Water District (NKWD) for two water treatment plants that draw water from the Ohio

River near Cincinnati, Ohio. This plan includes a delineation of the source of water for the two

utilities, a description of potential sources of natural and man-made contamination, and

management programs designed to minimize those risks. The scope of this Plan is limited to

protecting the drinking water resources in the vicinity of GCWW and NKWD.

Background

GCWW and NKWD operate community public water systems that together provide water to

approximately 1.4 million people in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Metropolitan area.

The bulk of water for both systems is supplied by the Ohio River. GCWW also supplies about

12% of its water from the Charles M. Bolton Well Field in Butler County Ohio. NKWD also

operates two smaller surface water plants, the Memorial Parkway Treatment Plant on the Ohio

River and the Taylor Mill Plant, which uses water from the Licking River to supply about 12% of

its consumption. Jointly, GCWW and NKWD have the capacity to withdraw approximately 270

million gallons per day (MGD) from the Ohio River.

Both GCWW and NKWD treat their raw water to meet or exceed the requirements of the Safe

Drinking Water Act and the requirements of Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA)

or Kentucky Division of Water (KDOW). Each utility employs advanced treatment and

disinfection techniques resulting in a robust multiple-barrier strategy to ensure the safety of the

drinking water.

Greater Cincinnati Water Works

The Richard Miller Treatment Plant (RMTP) was constructed circa 1904 and brought into service

in 1907. The original plant configuration included a brick intake structure in the Ohio River

located near the Kentucky bank, a steam-driven pump station (Old River Station), two brick-lined

off-channel reservoirs, coagulation and sedimentation basins, and rapid sand filters.. Over the

ensuing 110 years there have been numerous upgrades to the plant including: chlorination,

installation of a second submerged river intake and pump station (Ohio River Pump), expansion

of the filter gallery, enhanced coagulation and sedimentation methods (inclined plate pack settlers),

post-filter granular activated carbon (with onsite regeneration) and ultraviolet disinfection.

GCWW operates two reservoirs of partially treated water at the RMTP. These reservoirs have a

combined storage of approximately 340 million gallons of water. Water from these two reservoirs

can be used to maintain operations at the plant through periods when raw water pumping from the

Ohio River must be suspended due to maintenance or in response to spills.

Northern Kentucky Water District

The Northern Kentucky Water District originally started out as the Covington Water Works in

1891 with the completion of an Ohio River pump station, a chemical building, and three reservoirs.

The Ohio River water was pumped up to the chemical building where lime and alum were added

as coagulants. The water then flowed by gravity into two of the reservoirs before flowing into the

third reservoir where the water was drawn off by gravity to supply the water for the City of

Covington. Chlorine was added as disinfection in 1927 as a result of a cholera epidemic. In 1936,

a 20 MGD conventional coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation water treatment plant was

constructed including a new chemical building, two settling basins and conventional treatment

filter building. The new plant was built on the site of the third reservoir. Over the following years

many upgrades were made to the treatment process, including a 40 MGD upgrade, post-filter

granular activated carbon and ultraviolet disinfection. A new Ohio River pump station increased

the pumping capacity to 44 MGD. The two remaining reservoirs have a combined capacity of 72

million gallons of water. The reservoirs can be used to maintain operations at the plant in the event

that the river intakes must be closed due to a spill on the Ohio River.

Unique Challenges for Ohio River System

Using surface water as a source of drinking water presents a number of unique challenges for water

utility managers ranging from maintaining an adequate raw water supply to dealing with chronic

or acute contamination events. Withdrawing water from the Ohio River presents many additional

challenges for a water utility. Not only does the Ohio River pose all of the typical treatment

concerns of a surface water source such as the removal of potentially harmful pathogens, but the

size, and uses of the Ohio River pose additional source water protection concerns.

The main stem of the Ohio River borders or flows through six different states and is a critical

resource for many, sometimes competing, uses. In addition to being the direct drinking water

source for more than 5 million people, many ground water utilities also depend on the river as a

source of natural recharge to their aquifers. Over 230 million tons of cargo is transported on the

Ohio River each year, and 49 power generating stations are located along the river, making up in

excess of 10 percent of the nation’s power supply. Additionally, the Ohio River is the receiving

stream (either directly or indirectly through tributaries) for industrial and sanitary waste produced

by over 25 million people.

The Ohio River is formed by the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers in

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Ohio River watershed exceeds 200,000 square miles and the main

stem of the river is 981 miles long (ORSANCO website, retrieved September 29, 2014. http://

http://www.orsanco.org/river-facts). There are several interstate highways, railroad, and other

bridges that cross the Ohio River including the Combs-Hehl Bridge, which is located 0.9 miles

upstream from the GCWW/NKWD intakes.

In order to maintain the navigability of the river, the US Army Corp of Engineers operates 20 dams

(along with accompanying locks) along the main stem with several others on key tributaries such

as the Monongahela, the Kanawha, and Tennessee Rivers. The dams maintain a minimum water

depth needed for barges but have significantly altered the flow dynamics of the river. Rather than

a “typical” fluvial system, the Ohio River, from a hydrologic standpoint, sometimes functions

more like a series of connected lakes or reservoirs, especially during low water periods. The river

velocity ranges from highs near 5 mph during high water events to under 0.4 mph during periods

of low water.

The upstream watershed for GCWW/NKWD comprises an area of 71,000 square miles in portions

of nine states including significant portions of Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania

along with smaller portions of New York, North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, and Tennessee.

The upstream area, if it were a state, would be the 18th largest state (based on total area) in the

U.S., between South Dakota and Washington. Looked at another way, the upstream watershed is

approximately the size of New England (Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire,

Connecticut, and Rhode Island) and is larger than half of the countries in Europe.

A map showing Ohio River watershed upstream of the intakes is included in Figure 2.

The complexity of the Ohio River watershed is not limited to geology or demographics but extends

to the regulatory arena as well. The upstream area is part of four different US EPA Regions

(Regions 3, 4, and 5 with a small portion of Region 2 in westernmost New York). The upstream

watershed is also part of District 8 of the US Coast Guard as well as three different districts

(Louisville, Huntington, and Pittsburgh) within the US Army Corp of Engineers Great Lakes and

Ohio River Division. ORSANCO develops water quality standards, coordinates source water

protection and emergency response activities and conducts chemical and biological monitoring

along the entire main stem of the river. Ohio EPA, KDEP, West Virginia DEP, and Pennsylvania

DEP have water quality programs within each of their respective states. Additionally, other state

regulatory agencies and hundreds of county and local jurisdictions are located in the upstream

watershed. A map showing the US EPA regions superimposed over the upstream extent of the

watershed is included in Figure 3.

The Ohio River has a rich history and was one of the drivers of the early industrial success of the

United States. Sections of the river banks continue to be heavily industrialized and the river is a

vital transportation corridor linking key industrial and agricultural areas in Pennsylvania, Ohio,

West Virginia and Kentucky with distant ports such as New Orleans and beyond.

Despite the river’s long history as an industrialized corridor, it is an excellent source of drinking

water. There are 33 water utilities that draw water from the river that collectively serve over 5

million people with safe drinking water every day. Thanks in part to the navigational dams on the

river, but also due to an abundance of precipitation throughout the watershed, the quantity of water

available in the Ohio River far exceeds the demand and the river can easily accommodate all the

competing usages. Since the inception of pollution control standards for the river by ORSANCO

in 1948 and the subsequent benefits of the Clean Water Act which was passed in 1972, the water

quality in the Ohio River has been improving. The large volume of water in the river means that

incidental spills that would have a dramatic impact on the water quality of smaller streams and

rivers are barely, if ever, detected in the Ohio River.

The upstream watershed includes geographic areas historically associated with specific industries

or natural resources. These areas include:

Steel-production and related industries in western PA and eastern Ohio.

Agriculture throughout the region but especially in central Ohio.

Oil and gas extraction, including unconventional (horizontal) wells, in eastern Ohio,

western PA, and western WV.

Coal mining throughout West Virginia, eastern Kentucky and eastern Ohio.

Chemical and Petrochemical industries in southeast Ohio and in West Virginia near

Huntington and upstream on the Kanawha River to Charleston, including a major oil

refinery at Catlettsburg, Kentucky.

Coal-fired electric power generating stations along the length of the Ohio River.

A map with the major industrial areas superimposed over the upstream watershed is included in

Figure 4.

Transportation in the region is not limited to barge traffic. Major Class 1 railroads cross the

upstream watershed connecting industrial areas near Detroit, Chicago and Cleveland to areas on

the east coast. Since approximately 2013, these Class 1 railroads have also been used to transport

crude oil from the Bakken fields in North Dakota through portions of the upstream watershed to

refineries in New York, Delaware, and Virginia. Several major Interstate Highways, such as I-70

(which traverses the middle of the upstream watershed), are major truck transportation routes.

There are multiple pipelines crisscrossing the upstream watershed, too many to fully describe. The

majority of the pipelines are natural gas and present little threat to drinking water quality. There

are, however, several crude oil and petroleum pipelines and likely chemical pipelines crossing the

upstream area. Petroleum pipelines, including a crude oil pipeline, cross the Ohio River near

Catlettsburg, Kentucky. A map showing the major transportation corridors is included in

Figures 5 through 7.

Potential threats to the water quality in the Ohio River include (but are not limited to):

spills and other accidental releases including storage tank failures,

municipal waste water treatment discharges,

industrial waste water discharges,

home sewage disposal system discharges,

air contamination deposition,

combined sewer overflows,

runoff from urban, residential, mining, and agricultural areas,

coal combustion residue (i.e., ash) release from impoundments near the river,

oil and gas production and transportation (including associated pipelines),

discharge of waste water and flow-back water from hydraulically fractured oil and gas

wells,

illicit discharges,

railroad accidents and derailments,

harmful algal blooms (HABs),

and dissolution or redistribution of naturally-occurring minerals.

On average, there are at least 100 spills reported on the Ohio River upstream of GCWW/NKWD

on an annual basis. Spill and contingency planning are discussed further in Section 7, however,

there are several large events that impacted the water quality and influenced the manner in which

Source Water Protection was conducted on the Ohio River for decades and will be mentioned here

as part of the background information. Examples of these historic spills include:

Intentional releases of Carbon Tetrachloride in 1977

Catastrophic storage tank failure and release of 1 million gallons of diesel fuel in 1988

Chemical plant fire resulting in ethylene dibromide (EDB) contamination of the River in

1994

Release of 4-methylcyclohexane-methanol from a storage tank failure in 2014

Release of 9,000-gallons of diesel fuel from an overfill event in 2014

A map showing the origin of these large historic spills is provided in Figure 8. Note that with the

exception of the August 2014 diesel fuel spill, the majority of the large spills occurred hundreds

of miles into the upstream watershed.

This Plan is intended to provide the guidelines and framework for a source water protection

program that will be administered jointly by GCWW and NKWD. The Plan will include specific

strategies to identify and, to the extent possible, mitigate the threats described above. By providing

a structured analysis of the upstream watershed, the source water protection team will be able to

inform treatment personnel of types of events that could impact the water quality so that adequate

treatment technologies and contingency plans can be developed. The Ohio River basin typically

experiences plentiful precipitation that, coupled with the locks and dams, ensures an adequate

supply of source water. Consequently, this Plan will focus primarily on water quality threats.

Role of ORSANCO

Due to wide-ranging interstate water quality concerns, the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation

Commission (ORSANCO) was formed in 1948. ORSANCO is an interstate water pollution

control agency that manages and operates programs for water quality monitoring and assessment,

assists in emergency response management, has established pollution control standards for the

Ohio River, and facilitates interstate cooperation and coordination on Safe Drinking Water Act

(SDWA) and Clean Water Act (CWA) issues. GCWW and NKWD recognize ORSANCO’s

unique position in promoting source water protection along the Ohio River and this plan reflects

their commitment to utilize ORSANCO’s knowledge, authority and resources to protect our water

source. ORSANCO has been a leader in source water protection and emergency response targeted

at protecting drinking water utilities for several decades. Accordingly, ORSANCO has been a

supporter of the GCWW/NKWD partnership and has facilitated the development of a working

group by hosting and facilitating monthly meetings between the two utilities and providing

valuable insight during the development of this plan.

ORSANCO facilitated the preparation of a template for the development of Source Water

Protection Assessments on the Ohio River and the current Plan is built off that template.

ORSANCO also developed the initial delineation scheme including the Zone of Critical Concern

(ZOCC), the Zone of High Concern (ZOHC), and the Upstream Watershed (Extended Zone), all

of which have been adopted within the current plan (see Section 2). Finally, ORSANCO operates

the Organic Detection System (ODS), a series of near real-time analytical stations up and down

the main-stem of the Ohio River. The water quality monitoring strategy described in Section 8

relies heavily on this system.

Source Water Protection Program Goals

The Source Water Protection Program is the first barrier in the multiple-barrier strategies employed

by both GCWW and NKWD to ensure a sustainable source of safe drinking water for our

customers. Furthermore, the Source Water Protection Program is also a cost savings program for

each utility. By improving the source water quality, GCWW and NKWD may be able to reduce

or moderate the cost to treat the water to meet state and federal requirements, resulting in savings

for both utilities and ultimately in lower rates for the customers.

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 15

To facilitate the development of a workable program, the Committee has developed the following

list of goals for the Source Water Program, all of which will be addressed throughout this Plan:

1. Build a partnership between GCWW and the NKWD, with support from ORSANCO,

to jointly develop and administer an interstate source water protection program.

2. Maintain or improve the quality of the water in the Ohio River upstream of the

GCWW/NKWD intakes.

3. Ensure that GCWW and NKWD receive timely notification of upstream spills and

releases and that the utilities’ needs are met during spill response actions.

4. Minimize the potential for accidental industrial releases to the Ohio River or major

tributaries upstream of the GCWW/NKWD intakes.

5. Improve communication between GCWW/NKWD and upstream industries including

barge and railroad companies.

6. Educate the public, upstream industries, and civic groups of the importance of

protecting the Ohio River as a source of drinking water for the greater

Cincinnati/northern Kentucky region.

7. Update and maintain an inventory of potential contaminant sources in the upstream

watershed with a particular emphasis on the Zone of Critical Concern.

Plan Organization

The Source Water Protection Plan is divided into nine sections. Section 2 presents a delineation

scheme designed to identify the various parts of the upstream catchment area to facilitate protection

efforts described herein. Section 3 discusses a strategy to create an inventory of potential

contaminant sources near the GCWW/NKWD intake locations. This section also discusses the

results of preliminary inventory activities and management of the inventory data. Section 4

presents a prioritization scheme that will structure the potential contaminant source inventory to

identify the highest priority concerns, which will, in turn, guide the development of protective

strategies. Section 5 describes protective management strategies based on the information

developed in Section 4. Strategies and plans for engaging the public and industry through outreach

and education programs are described in Section 6 while Contingency Plans are presented in

Section 7. Water Quality and other monitoring programs are presented in Section 8 while an

implementation plan and schedule is included in Section 9.

Plan Preparation and Stakeholder Involvement

As previously indicated, the GCWW and NKWD have been working together to develop this

Source Water Protection Plan with considerable assistance from ORSANCO. Together, GCWW,

NKWD, and ORSANCO form the central planning committee. The central planning committee

met on a regular basis starting in June 2013. The central planning committee members are:

Mr. Richard Stuck, PG Greater Cincinnati Water Works

Mr. Bruce Whitteberry, PG Greater Cincinnati Water Works

Mr. Jeff Swertfeger Greater Cincinnati Water Works

Ms. Maria Meyer, PE Greater Cincinnati Water Works

Mr. Richard Harrison, PE Northern Kentucky Water District/ORSANCO

Ms. Mary Carol Wagner Northern Kentucky Water District

Ms. Amy Kramer, PE Northern Kentucky Water District

Mr. Jerry Schulte ORSANCO

Ms. Lila Ziolkowski ORSANCO

Mr. Travis Luncan ORSANCO

Mr. Sam Dinkins ORSANCO

The central planning committee met with groups of stakeholders at various times during the

planning process to gain additional insight and participation from those likely to be affected by the

source water protection program.

The initial stakeholder meeting was held with representatives of the drinking water regulators in

August 2013. The meeting included members of the central planning committee and

representatives from Ohio EPA’s Division of Drinking and Ground Waters and the Kentucky

Division of Water. The meeting was held at ORSANCO for the purpose of introducing the concept

of the joint source water protection program to the two regulatory groups that would ultimately

review the Plan. After much discussion it was determined that a single plan could meet the

requirements for both agencies and that Ohio EPA will review the plan for GCWW and KDOW

will review the plan on behalf of the NKWD.

One of the goals of the planning committee was to solicit input from other parties and businesses

that have a presence on the Ohio River. Accordingly, a series of stakeholder meetings were hosted

by the central planning committee in February, March, and April of 2015 at either GCWW or

NKWD offices. The purpose of these meetings was to gain critical insights from other river users

as the protective strategies were developed.

2.0 Delineation

The following section describes the source of drinking water for GCWW’s Richard Miller

Treatment Plant and NKWD’s Ft. Thomas Plant.

Source Water Area Characterization

As previously described, both the GCWW and NKWD use the Ohio River as their primary source

of drinking water. The Ohio River Basin covers a total of 204,000 square miles and the upstream

portion of the basin from the GCWW/NKWD is approximately 71,000 square miles. The river is

a total of 981 miles long from its confluence with the Mississippi River near Cairo, Illinois to the

headwaters formed by the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers at Pittsburgh,

Pennsylvania.

Like many rivers in the U.S., distances along the Ohio River are measured in river miles. A river

mile (RM or ORM for “Ohio River Mile”) is the distance in miles along a river, typically from its

mouth to its point of origin. Unlike most rivers, however, the Ohio River miles are measured from

the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela (i.e., RM0) to its confluence with the

Mississippi (RM981).

The GCWW and NKWD intakes are located southeast of Cincinnati, approximately 460 miles

downstream of the river’s headwater. The Ohio River watershed is a complex network of creeks,

lakes, streams, and rivers flowing generally south and west from the central and southern

Alleghany Plateau through the Central Lowlands and Interior Low Plateau physiographic

provinces. The upstream portion of the Ohio River basin relative to GCWW/NKWD is located

primarily in the Allegheny Plateau and is comprised of portions of Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky,

Pennsylvania, western New York, western Virginia, North Carolina, and a small portion of

Tennessee.

There are a total of 20,788 miles of named streams in the upstream watershed including the

following 7 major tributaries (USGS Streamer Web Application):

Allegheny River Kanawha River

Monongahela River Big Sandy River

Muskingum River Scioto River

Guyandotte River

Page 37: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 19

Some of the cities in the upstream watershed include:

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Marietta, Ohio

Charleston, West Virginia Parkersburg, West Virginia

Columbus, Ohio Ashland, Kentucky

Wheeling, West Virginia Portsmouth, Ohio

Steubenville, Ohio Ironton, Ohio

Despite the urban and industrial development around portions of the upstream watershed, the

stretch of the river from the GCWW/NKWD intakes up river to approximately Portsmouth, Ohio,

a distance of approximately 100 miles, has comparatively little industrial development.

Precipitation is plentiful throughout most of the areas upstream of the GCWW and NKWD intakes

with an average of 38 to 40 inches annual precipitation with the majority falling in the winter and

spring months. Based on long-term average from 1940 to 1975, the discharge of the Ohio River

at a gage in Cincinnati, Ohio is 91,900 ft3/sec, ranging from a typical average discharge in January

of 215,000 ft3/sec to an average low in October of 25,000 ft3/sec (USGS, 2007). That translates to

an average flow of 59,392 MGD with a range of 138,948 to 16,157 MGD.

Due to the importance of the Ohio River as a major transportation route, the U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers (USACE) is required to maintain the river in a navigable condition. To do this the

USACE operates 19 locks and dams on the main stem of the river and 37 reservoirs in the basin.

Nineteen of these reservoirs are located upstream of the GCWW/NKWD intakes. These 19

reservoirs are:

Kinzua Dam Berlin Summersville Paintsville

East Branch, Clarion

River

Mosquito

Creek Sutton Yatesville

Woodcock Creek Shenango R.D.Bailey Grayson

The GCWW and NKWD intakes are located within the Markland pool, which is the 95 mile long

reach from the Markland Locks and Dam southwest of Cincinnati (ORM 531.5) upstream to the

Captain Anthony Meldahl Locks and Dam (ORM 436.2). The average depth of the Ohio River at

the intakes is approximately 24 feet (ORSANCO River Facts and Conditions Website

http://www.orsanco.org/factcondition).

Management Zones

Due to the size and complexity of the Ohio River Basin, ORSANCO coordinated the development

of a source water assessment strategy for the Ohio River. Designed as an aid for protection

planning, this strategy provides a uniform approach to delineating the source water protection areas

for utilities on the river. The strategy was developed in conjunction with US EPA and

ORSANCO’s member states and it proposes a tiered delineation scheme to facilitate the

development of reasonable protection and management strategies. GCWW and NKWD have

adopted the ORSANCO delineation scheme. The three management zones are:

Zone of Critical Concern (ZOCC)

Zone of High Concern (ZOHC)

Extended Upstream Watershed (sometimes referred to as Zone 3)

The extent of each zone is shown graphically in Figures 2 and 9 and the details of each

management zone are provided in the following sections:

Zone of Critical Concern (ZOCC):

The Zone of Critical Concern is the innermost management zone and constitutes the source water

closest to the intakes and the zone in which time-critical actions must be taken whenever an event

affects the water quality in the river. The extent of the ZOCC is defined as the reach of the Ohio

River from a point 0.25 miles downstream of the intakes to 25 miles upstream of the intakes and

includes a corridor of 0.25 miles on the banks on either side of the river. The ZOCC also extends

up the significant tributaries within that 25.25 mile zone including Twelvemile Creek in Kentucky

and Twelvemile, and Indian Creeks in Ohio. From a practical standpoint, the ZOCC extends from

just upstream of the Little Miami River to just downstream of the Captain Anthony Meldahl Locks

and Dam (see Figure 9).

The ZOCC was originally developed using time-of-travel estimates. As previously stated, the

velocity of the Ohio River within the ZOCC is highly variable within a range from less than 0.2

mile per hour to just under 5 mph. Spills or other events in this zone require timely responses by

GCWW and NKWD to prevent contamination from entering their respective water treatment

plants. Additionally, any ongoing releases, such as permitted discharges within the ZOCC, have

little time for mixing or to degrade.

Zone of High Concern (ZOHC):

The second management zone is called the Zone of High Concern and comprises the same 25.25

mile reach of the main stem of the Ohio but rather than being limited to the 0.25 miles on the

riverbanks, extends to the limits of the watershed and includes all the smaller sub-watersheds and

tributaries in that area. The total area of the combined ZOCC and ZOHC comprises 259 square

miles; 144 mi2 in Ohio and 115 mi2 in Kentucky (Ohio EPA, 2005). Review of the upstream

watershed reveals that the ZOHC is limited to a distance of no more than 11 miles from the Ohio

River. The extent of the ZOHC is limited to the north by the Little Miami River watershed in Ohio

and to the south by the Licking River watershed in Kentucky. Both the Little Miami and Licking

join the Ohio River downstream of the GCWW/NKWD intakes.

Extended Upstream Watershed (Zone 3):

The outermost source water management zone is the entire drainage basin of the Ohio River

upstream of the GCWW and NKWD intakes. As previously indicated, this zone comprises

approximately 71,000 sq. miles spread over portions of eight states. It extends from the Eastern

Continental Divide in western Pennsylvania and West Virginia and south from the St. Lawrence

Divide in northern Ohio. The area in Kentucky is limited to the counties closest to the river due

to the extent of the Licking River basin. Zone 3 includes most of the state of West Virginia and

over half of the state of Ohio.

The collective experience of GCWW, NKWD, and ORSANCO has shown that many of the

incidents and land uses that affect the water quality in the Ohio River occur within Zone 3. Areas

along the Ohio River upstream from Portsmouth, Ohio, (Ohio River Mile 353) for example contain

several large industrial facilities ranging from chemical storage and manufacturing, to electrical

power plants and a large petroleum refinery. This upstream effect is magnified when areas along

the Kanawha River near Charleston, West Virginia are included. Nicknamed “Chemical Valley”,

this area is a locus of the petrochemical industry. Similarly, areas near Pittsburgh, including the

Allegheny and Monongahela River valleys have historically been heavily developed with the steel

and oil/gas/coal industries and continue that industrial legacy today.

While it is impractical for GCWW and NKWD to develop protective strategies for all the potential

contaminant sources within Zone 3, the delineation of critical industrial areas along selected

stretches of the Ohio River and the major tributaries may help better characterize the true nature

of the upstream threats. GCWW and NKWD will work extensively with ORSANCO during the

development of the inventory information for the extended zone. The inventory of potential

contaminant sources will be discussed in Section 3.

3.0 Potential Contaminant Source Inventory

The potential contaminant source inventory (PCSI) is instrumental to understanding the breadth of

the potential threats to the water quality in the Ohio River basin upstream of the GCWW/NKWD

intakes. The water quality threats to a river system as complex as the Ohio River are complicated,

change on a frequent basis, and require data from multiple sources to fully understand. Water

quality threats can take several forms including chemical manufacturing and storage, chemical

transport, land-use practices, agricultural runoff, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs),

permitted, illicit or unintentional discharges, dissolution of naturally occurring minerals, and many

others. Threats can be discrete threats such as a permitted outfall or combined sewer overflow or

can be more regional such as runoff from agricultural fields or from large parking lots.

Additionally, threats to the Ohio River water quality can come from fixed facilities such as

electrical power plants and industrial facilities or can come from transient sources such as barges,

highway traffic, or rail transportation. Not all threats are chemical; runoff from livestock grazing

and concentrated feeding areas and excessive sediment runoff from construction sites can also

influence the water quality in the river and increase treatment costs.

This section describes the methodology and sources of information GCWW/NKWD used to

develop the initial PCSI as well as a description of the current inventory. A copy of the PCSI is

included in Appendix A. Due to security concerns, the information provided in Appendix A is

limited to the name and location of PCSI sites/facilities. The complete inventory includes detailed

information, such as chemical storage information for many of the facilities that is not suitable for

widespread distribution. It is anticipated that the PCSI will not be a static database but instead will

undergo frequent updates as the Source Water Protection Program develops.

The PCSI database was originally developed in 2005 and has undergone periodic updates since

that time. The PCSI currently includes the results of selected database searches, aerial photograph

analysis, a windshield survey, a boat-based survey from the river, and individual site visits.

General Site Characteristics

Potential contaminant sources can, for the purpose of this plan, be classified into one of three

broad categories which are:

1) Point sources – these are static, “discrete” sources or potential sources of contamination

that comprise a discernible, confined and discrete conveyance. Examples include specific

storage tanks, processes or discharges associated with a fixed-location facility such as

discharge pipes, permitted outfalls, combined sewer overflows, drainage swales, drain

Page 43: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 25

pipes, etc. For the purpose of this plan, mobile potential sources are considered separately

from stationary point sources.

2) Non-point sources – Nonpoint source pollution generally results from land runoff,

precipitation, atmospheric deposition, drainage, seepage or hydrologic modification. As

the runoff moves, it picks up and carries away natural and human-made pollutants, finally

depositing them into lakes, rivers, wetlands, coastal waters and ground waters. Examples

of non-point source contamination include runoff from farm fields and parking lots.

3) Mobile sources – Mobile potential sources of pollution are a specific type of point source

that includes discharge from vehicles, barges and railcars, generally with cargo of concern.

Examples of this include semi-trucks, trains and barges. Barges pose a unique threat

because of their varied cargo, mobile nature and size. One barge can carry over a million

gallons of cargo and a typical “tow” includes multiple barges. Unlike the static point

sources, it is difficult to assign a day-to-day risk to mobile point sources. These differences

need to be taken into account during source water protection planning.

Potential Contaminant Source Inventory Data Sources

Given the diversity of potential threats to the water quality, the development of the PCSI will be

an iterative and ongoing process. The PCSI will continue to draw data from several sources

including:

State and Federal databases

Field survey and site visits

Aerial photographs and topographic maps

Emergency planning and response agencies

Site-specific knowledge

Upstream water utilities

Barge, vehicle and train monitoring

Interviews

Early work on the PCSI has demonstrated that no single source of information will reliably produce

an adequate picture of the threats to water quality in the upstream watershed. Accordingly, various

lines of information regarding hazardous material transportation, use, storage and disposal will be

used to complement each other in the ongoing development of the inventory. The following

sections provide a brief overview of each data source and how they will be used to further develop

the PCSI.

Page 44: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 26

State and Federal Databases

There are several publically-available data sources offered via download from both state and

federal agencies. The original PCSI information provided by the Ohio EPA and KDOW in 2005

obtained data from several federal databases including ENVIROFACTS, BASINS, NPDES, RCRIS,

FSI among others. These data were supplemented by state-level databases including the BUSTR,

LUST, and other databases. A list of acronyms is presented at the front of this document and a

brief description of each database used to develop the PCSI is included in Appendix B.

There has been significant development of online resources and data availability since the original

PCSI data were generated. Future additions to the PCSI will leverage many of these resources to

update and expand the data set. In addition to the baseline data mentioned in the previous

paragraph, the PCSI update will include information from the US EPA ECHO database, which

includes compliance history for listed facilities, from community Right-To-Know information

including the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) and EPCRA Tier 2 Reporting.

Field Survey and Site Visits

Field surveys and ground checking of information may take a variety of forms including detailed

individual site reconnaissance, automobile-based windshield surveys, boat-based river surveys, or

perhaps even low-level aerial reconnaissance. In all cases the field inventory will include

collection of GPS-based location data, photographs, interviews with site personnel (if possible)

and completion of field reconnaissance field data sheets. An example of the field reconnaissance

data sheet is provided in Appendix C.

Data collected during the field surveys will be used to generate, correct, or update facility

information stored in the PCSI. For high priority facilities located in the ZOCC, this information

will be updated every two years or whenever a major change at the facility occurs. Due to the

number of facilities in the ZOHC, field surveys will occur on a less frequent basis.

Aerial Photographs and Topographic Maps

The nature and complexity of regional land-use patterns, large industrial sites, and transportation-

related facilities are often better understood through the use of aerial or satellite imagery.

Additionally, the availability of reasonably up-to-date high resolution imagery coupled with easy-

to-use publically-available software makes the use of aerial imagery a powerful source of site-

specific information. As a result, aerial imagery will be used extensively to identify and confirm

sites for inclusion in the PCSI and will allow identification of exterior chemical storage and

material transfer or disposal areas. Historical aerial photographs, where available, may also be

referenced to determine the land use history in certain areas of the ZOCC and ZOHC. Likewise,

the use of topographic maps will provide insights about the location of large industrial facilities

Page 45: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 27

and the likely direction of surface water (or spill) drainage. Analysis of aerial photographs will

form the basis of inventory activities in the Extended Zone (i.e., Zone 3).

Emergency Management Agencies

Through the course of the stakeholder meetings it became apparent that the Emergency

Management Agencies (EMAs) of Hamilton and Clermont Counties in Ohio and Campbell and

Kenton Counties in Kentucky possess a significant amount of information about the storage of

hazardous materials within their jurisdictions. While the information they possess is constrained

by what is reported via Tier 2 reporting, this information is very helpful. The EMAs covering the

ZOHC and ZOCC have offered to make their databases available to GCWW and NKWD as part

of the expansion of the PCSI.

Site-Specific Knowledge

Both GCWW and NKWD are active members of their respective communities and employ a

workforce that has strong roots within those communities and substantial amount of knowledge

about activities on or near the river. This knowledge base will be leveraged to supplement the

other avenues of PCSI data generation. Where this “second-hand” information can be confirmed,

it will be used to add additional detail to the PCSI. Moreover, ORSANCO has been working on

the Ohio River for many decades and has a detailed knowledge of the industries and issues along

the length of the river. GCWW and NKWD will tap into ORSANCO’s experience wherever

possible to supplement the PCSI.

Upstream Water Utilities

There are strong relationships between GCWW, NKWD and other water utilities operating not

only within the Ohio River basin but those operating in the ZOCC as well. Specifically New

Richmond, Clermont County, and the Tate Monroe Water Association (all of which are

groundwater systems) are all located in the ZOCC and have ongoing source water protection

activities. GCWW/NKWD will contact these and other water utilities to develop synergies within

the overlapping protection zones and share PCSI information with these other utilities.

Barge, Vehicle and Rail Monitoring

Transient potential contaminant sources represent a significant management challenge within the

overall source water protection program. As one of the United States’ Great Rivers, the Ohio

River serves as a major corridor for transportation of raw materials and consumer goods. It is

common to observe several “tows” (i.e., multiple barges lashed together and pushed by a single

tow boat) travel past the GCWW/NKWD intakes in a single day. The cargo in these “tows” is

highly variable and often consists of coal, aggregate, grain, lime, liquid petroleum products or

other bulk chemical shipments.

Page 46: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 28

In addition to barge traffic, several railroad tracks are located within the source water protection

area including a line of tracks running adjacent to the Ohio River through the ZOCC and beyond.

These tracks are located near both the GCWW and the NKWD intakes and are typically within

visual distance from the river throughout their extent upstream.

Maintaining an up-to-date database of the type and frequency of cargo shipments through the

region is not feasible due to a number of factors including resource limitations and security issues.

The PCSI includes general information gathered from regional studies from such agencies as OKI

Regional Council of Governments or a Southwest Ohio Hazardous Materials Commodity Flow

Study prepared for the EMAs of Brown, Butler, Hamilton, Clermont and Warren Counties in Ohio.

Information from such studies will be incorporated into the PCSI whenever possible.

Interviews

Industrial activities along the Ohio River are varied and typically beyond the realm of expertise of

the members of the source water protection team. Accordingly, GCWW and NKWD will discuss

their operations with other stakeholders along the river for the purpose of gaining information

about their industrial processes, chemical storage, and spill prevention strategies. This will

comprise an ad hoc program since it will be difficult to predict the availability and willingness of

key personnel to share potentially sensitive information about their operations. These interactions

will also serve as a component of our outreach program by providing an avenue to educate

industries about the sensitivity of the drinking water supply and to exchange emergency contact

information.

In addition to industrial river users, GCWW and NKWD will engage other interested parties who

work to understand and/or preserve the river. It is anticipated that some of these entities will be

conservation-oriented groups who have experience working on the Ohio River. Potential sources

of information may include: researchers, conservation groups, fishermen and hunters, water

customers, recreational boaters, etc. Any information gathered from secondhand sources will be

confirmed prior to entry into the PCSI.

Summary of the Potential Contaminant Source Inventory

The GCWW and NKWD have identified a total of 44 potential contaminant sites within the Zone

of Critical Concern. Similarly, an additional 822 potential contaminant sources have been

identified in the Zone of High Concern for a total of 866 potential contaminant sources in the

combined ZOCC and ZOHC. The scheme used to prioritize these potential contaminant sources

is provided in Section 4.

Page 47: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 29

Based on the type and/or volume of material transported, manufactured or stored, some of the most

critical potential contaminant sources in the ZOCC and ZOHC are:

Commercial Towing (Barges)

Hazardous material transport by trucks over the Combs-Hehl bridge

Petroleum, chemical or ash storage at power generating stations

Publically Owned Treatment Works

Non-Point Source Runoff

* The impact of non-point source contamination is estimated. Non-point source contamination will be discussed further in Section 4.

Railroad

Petroleum and chemical storage near the river

The list provided above is limited to the ZOCC and ZOHC. Other important potential sources

of contamination for the Ohio River are spills, discharges, and non-point source contaminants

flowing into the GCWW/NKWD management area from further upstream in the watershed.

Due to potential security concerns with publically available documents, the name and location of

individual PSCI facilities have been provided in general terms and are not uniquely identified on

maps in this plan. A map showing the distribution of sites throughout both the ZOCC and the

ZOHC is presented in Figure 10.

A discussion of the seven potential contaminant sources listed above is provided in the following

sections. The complete PSCI is included in Appendix A.

Commercial Towing (Barges)

As previously mentioned, the transportation of goods and materials by barge is prevalent on the

Ohio River. Typically barges are lashed together as a “tow” typically two barges wide and several

barges long. The tow is then pushed from behind by a towboat. Empty barges are staged at various

locations up and down the river when not in use. Barges are loaded and emptied at facilities located

at the river bank and the contents are typically transported to and from storage areas by conveyor

belts or piping. The tow boats typically have several thousand gallons of onboard fuel storage.

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) enforces laws and regulations on the river as well as

conducting emergency response activities. The USACE is responsible for maintaining the

navigability of the river.

The US Army Corps of Engineers Waterborne Commerce Statistics for the Ohio River for 2011

indicates that a total of 239 million tons of cargo moved through the Ohio River Basin. The

breakdown of the cargo is as follows:

Table 1. Summary of Cargo Shipped by Barge

Coal 59%

Petroleum Products 6%

Crude Petroleum <1%

Aggregates 16%

Grains 5%

Chemicals 4%

for the Ohio River, 2011

Recent news stories indicate, however, that the amount of crude oil shipped by barge may increase

substantially. Likewise, it is anticipated that the amount of coal shipments may decline as coal-

fired power plants are forced to cease operations due to revised emissions standards and natural

gas becomes more prominent as a commercially-viable alternative fuel.

A study commissioned by the emergency management agencies of Hamilton, Butler, Brown,

Clermont, and Warren counties in Ohio in 2013 includes a summary of hazardous materials

transportation on the Ohio River. The study offers a detailed summary of the hazardous cargo

shipped between the Markland and Meldahl dams. Specifically, the study found that 70% of the

cargo shipped past downtown Cincinnati comprises hazardous materials (Blue Rock, 2013). The

majority of the hazardous cargo is petroleum compounds and oils. Present in smaller amounts, the

remainder comprises industrial chemicals such as alcohol and sodium hydroxide or fertilizer and

urea.

Based on these two studies, it appears that while coal and aggregate are the commodities most

frequently transported by barge in the Ohio River basin, significant quantities of petroleum

products are transported in the ZOCC.

Hazardous material transport by trucks over the Combs-Hehl Bridge

The Combs-Hehl Bridge is a double span steel cantilever bridge that spans the Ohio River

approximately 1 mile upstream of the intakes. The bridge was completed in 1979 and carries

Interstate Highway I-275 from Hamilton County, Ohio to Campbell County, Kentucky. Storm

water and drainage from the bridge discharge directly to the Ohio River. The bridge is

administered by the Kentucky Department of Transportation and carries approximately 57,000

vehicles including 2,700 trucks, everyday (OKI, 2007). Of the daily truck traffic, 9% of

commercial traffic on I-275 at the Kellogg Avenue exit (essentially this is representative of the

traffic on the bridge) is hazardous materials as defined by the Department of Transportation (DOT)

(Blue Rock, 2013). Based on the OKI and Blue Rock studies, 10 to 20 hazardous materials

vehicles cross the bridge every hour.

Electrical Generation

Two large coal-fired power plants are located in the ZOCC; the Zimmer and Beckjord power

generating stations. The Beckjord Station, which is owned by Duke Energy, has been

decommissioned and all the fuel and chemical storage has been eliminated however there are

several impoundments along the river that contain coal combustion residuals (ash). The station

will be demolished over the period of 2015 through 2018.

The Zimmer Power Plant in Moscow, Ohio, was recently purchased by Dynegy, Inc. from Duke

Energy. Several large aboveground storage tanks are located at Zimmer including 3 million

gallons of diesel fuel storage.

Publically Owned Treatment Works

Bacterial contamination is one of the most prevalent types of water quality impacts to the Ohio

River. Of the 981 miles of the Ohio River main stem, 630.8 of those miles are classified as

“impaired” for primary contact recreation (US EPA, 2013) due to bacteria. The sources of bacteria

in the Ohio River are varied and include permitted discharges from Publically-Owned Treatment

Works (POTWs) amongst other sources. There are several POTWs in ZOCC and ZOHC

watershed including Clermont County’s Nine-Mile Creek facility in Ohio and Kentucky Sanitation

District One’s (SD-1) East Regional Treatment Plant. Each plant discharges treated wastewater

under individual NPDES permits. Clermont County discharges to Ninemile Creek, which joins

the Ohio River at river mile 455, or approximately 8 miles upstream from the GCWW/NKWD

intakes. SD-1’s East Regional Treatment plant discharges to Twelvemile Creek, which joins the

Ohio River on the Kentucky side at river mile 451.5. The risks associated with these facilities

include pass-through contaminants not removed by the treatment process, elevated nitrate and

phosphorous, low-concentrations of pharmaceuticals and personal care products and plant upsets

or bypass events that would result in untreated sewage and pathogens being released to the river.

Page 51: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 33

In addition to the conditions described above, WWTPs can contribute to the bacterial loading to

the river via wet weather bypasses from combined sewer overflows (CSOs). Serving to relieve

pressure at the WWTP due to large rain events in sewer systems that collect storm water through

the same system as sanitary waste, CSOs can release untreated sewage directly to the receiving

streams. There are 34 sewer systems upstream of the intakes that have CSOs that discharge

directly to the Ohio River (US EPA 2013). There are likely others that discharge to the tributaries

throughout the Extended Area. The US EPA has recognized the impact of bacteria on the water

quality in the Ohio River and is currently developing a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for

the river.

Non-Point Source Runoff

A significant portion of the upstream watershed is agricultural land, especially areas drained by

the Scioto River in central Ohio. Runoff associated with agricultural areas may contain nutrients

from fertilizers as well as residual pesticide and herbicide compounds. Runoff may be exacerbated

by field drains and other drainage features that quickly remove excess water from farm fields.

Nutrient compounds typically include nitrogen-bearing compounds such as ammonia, nitrate, and

nitrite as well as dissolved and total phosphorus and orthophosphate. Nitrate and nitrite both have

maximum contaminant levels for finished drinking water (10 mg/L and 1 mg/l, respectively) due

to potential health risks. Common herbicides and pesticides include atrazine, simazine, and

glyphosate, all of which also have MCLs (3, 4, and 700 ug/L, respectively). Excess nutrients have

also been linked to harmful algal blooms (HABs). The overall level of nitrate in the Ohio River

at the GCWW/NKWD intakes is typically less than 1 mg/L and appears to have been declining

over the past decade. Chart 1 shows the concentration of nitrate in the GCWW raw water since

2005.

Railroad

CSX currently owns and operates a rail line that connects terminals in Cincinnati to Ashland,

Kentucky. The tracks are located within the floodplain of the Ohio River and parallel the river

throughout the ZOCC. In general the tracks are less than 0.25 miles from the river throughout that

reach. It is anticipated that the cargo travelling this line is varied and includes (at least) coal,

aggregate, grain and possibly bulk chemicals. Future inventory and outreach activities will focus

on developing a better understanding of the goods and materials transported along this line.

The risks associated with the railroad are both physical as well as chemical. The physical risk is

that a derailment near the intakes could damage the intake structures or block access to the intakes

while the chemical threats arise from a potential derailment or leaking tank car releasing chemicals

to the Ohio River.

Rail transportation is prevalent throughout the Extended Area and it is anticipated that the goods

traversing this area are highly variable. One item of note is that at least one rail corridor is used to

transport crude oil through the extended zone from the Bakken region of North Dakota to refineries

on the East Coast. The “crude-by-rail” corridor closest to the intakes is operated by CSX and

travels south near or along the Scioto River from Columbus to east of Portsmouth, Ohio. Upon

entering the Ohio River valley this line, part of the historic Chesapeake and Ohio (C&O) line,

crosses the river near Portsmouth, parallels the river to Huntington, WV, and then over land to the

Kanawha Valley before travelling to refineries in Virginia. In 2015, a total of 157.6 million barrels

(6.6 trillion gallons) traversed the region known as Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts

(PADD) 2 (which includes Ohio and the oil producing regions of North Dakota) to PADD 1 (which

includes the east coast). That is an average of 18.1 million gallons of crude oil being transported

east daily, the majority of which likely travels through portions of the Extended Zone. (Association

of American Railroads, November 2015).

Petroleum and Chemical Storage

Petroleum is stored at many of the facilities in both the ZOCC and ZOHC. There is at least 3

million gallons of petroleum storage capacity in the ZOCC upstream of the intake. In general the

petroleum storage is in aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) with less than 500 gallons to several

thousand gallons, however there are two large (approximately 1.5 million gallons) ASTs at an

upstream power generating station. The current inventory includes hundreds of individual ASTs

in the ZOCC and ZOHC and it is anticipated that future inventory activities will refine that number.

In addition to ASTs, bulk chemicals and petroleum products are stored throughout the protection

zones in a variety of totes, temporary tanks, underground storage tanks, and drums. In excess of

two million gallons of petroleum storage was removed from the ZOCC when the Beckjord plant

ceased operation.

Petroleum and chemical storage is assumed to be prevalent throughout the Extended Zone with

several very large bulk petroleum storage areas located immediately adjacent to the river upstream

of Portsmouth, Ohio, including an oil refinery at Catlettsburg, Kentucky.

Future PCSI Activities

The development, expansion, and maintenance of the PCSI will be an ongoing part of the Source

Water Protection Program. Based on previous experience, it is difficult to predict what tools and

data will become available to assist in the development and maintenance of the PCSI. At a

minimum, the contact information for key personnel at facilities in the ZOCC will be updated

every 2 years and the entire potential contaminant source inventory will be updated at least every

5 years.

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 36

PCSI Data Management

One of the challenges of maintaining the PCSI is not only gathering sufficient initial information

but the subsequent ability to update and manage those data in a manner that facilitates easy access

and to generate reports that adequately convey the nature of risk to decision makers. Up to this

point, the PCSI has been maintained in spreadsheets and basic databases, each of which has

significant limitations. GCWW was recently part of a project funded by the Water Research

Foundation to develop a standard operating procedure for gathering PCSI information and the

development of a GIS-based tool called WaterSuiteTM (under commercial development by Corona

Environmental) for storing, sorting, updating, viewing, and analyzing PSCI data. It is anticipated

that this tool will facilitate gathering publicly-available database information on a frequent and

easy basis while simultaneously allowing the input of user-generated information. If successful,

this tool will facilitate inventory data analysis and will ensure GCWW/NKWD have the most

recent information from state and federal databases.

In the event the WaterSuite platform does not meet our needs, GCWW and NKWD will continue

to investigate technology-based data management tools so the maximum value of the inventory

data can be achieved.

4.0 Prioritization of Potential Contaminant Sources

As previously mentioned, the current PCSI contains 866 sites that have been identified in the

ZOCC and ZOHC. Because these sites vary widely in size and potential risk, the sites have been

prioritized to focus management efforts. The priority scheme consists of “High”, “Medium”, and

“Low” priority site designations. High priority sites are defined as site conditions that could have

an immediate impact on the water quality in the river that would require time-critical actions by

GCWW and NKWD. Medium priority sites have a moderate probability of impacting the river in

a manner that would require action from the utilities. Medium priority sites also tend to have

relatively less toxic or smaller quantities of stored chemicals or petroleum. Low priority was

assigned to facilities that are either far from the river, store small quantities of relatively non-toxic

chemicals, or there is a very low likelihood of a release to the river (e.g., chemical storage inside

a building, small heating oil tanks away from surface streams, etc.).

Site-Specific Prioritization

A site classification system was developed based on the primary site use or characteristics. A list

of 142 site categories, which was developed based on the list of site categories used in several of

the Federal databases originally downloaded into the PCSI, is presented in Appendix D. Each site

category was “scored” by the planning committee in each of the source water management zones

as either high, medium, or low priority based on the following criteria:

Chemical properties (toxicity, reactivity, specific gravity, miscibility, etc.)

Quantity of chemicals stored

Containment structures, spill response plans (SPCC or FRP), spill response training

Distance to the intakes

Previous discharge of pollutants

Proximity to surface water

Route of potential discharge

Compliance history and housekeeping practices

Amount of regulatory oversight

Ability of ODS (see monitoring section for description) to detect stored chemicals

Based on this prioritization, the distribution of sites located in the ZOCC and ZOHC is summarized

in Table 2.

This site prioritization will be used as the basis of the protective strategies describe in Section 6

and the allocation of resources during implementation of the program. The priority may be re-

evaluated as specific situations that have not been captured in the PCSI are identified or as potential

water quality impacts by certain facilities or processes become better understood.

The prioritization scheme is limited to the ZOCC and ZOHC. There are contaminant sources,

including some very large potential sources located outside the ZOCC/ZOHC that may pose some

of the most significant threats to the water quality in the Ohio River. As described in Section 1,

significant historical spills such as the Carbon Tetrachloride Release in 1977, the Ashland Oil Spill

in 1988, the EDB spill in 1994, and the Elk River MCHM spill in 2014 all originated upstream of

GCWW/NKWD and well outside the ZOCC and the ZOHC. The PCSI is currently limited to the

ZOCC and ZOHC however the future addition of sites further upstream may significantly alter the

prioritization approach.

High 21 106

Medium 23 320

Low 0 396 a For sites that have more than one potential category, the site priority was

Nutrients and Harmful Algal Bloom Triggers

The site-specific prioritization scheme described in the previous section may not adequately

capture non-point sources, the importance of nutrients, or the potential triggers and impact of

harmful algal blooms (HABs) on the water quality in the Ohio River. Although the concentrations

of nutrients such as nitrate are generally low compared to the MCL’s, they are present in sufficient

concentrations to foster algal growth when conditions permit. Consequently nutrient loading and

other HAB triggers (which are not currently fully understood) have been assigned a “High”

priority. Prior to 2015 it was generally assumed that the river velocity and turbidity of the Ohio

River would limit the growth of blue-green algae and the development of HABs. Unlike other

potential contaminant sources, HABs on the Ohio River are more complex and likely related to a

Page 57: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 39

variety of factors. Regardless, HABs present a significant challenge to water treatment plants and

so have been assigned a High Priority as well.

Summary of Prioritization of Potential Contaminant Sources to the Ohio River

As described in the previous sections, the Ohio River has been designated as Highly Susceptible

to contamination by the Ohio EPA. An inventory of potential contaminant sources has been

created and will be updated and expanded as part of the Source Water Protection Program. Based

on the current understanding of the PCSI, specific water quality threats to the Ohio River include

(but are not limited to):

Spills of petroleum compounds or other chemicals from a variety of potential sources such

as pipeline breaks, industrial spills, train derailments, oil/gas drilling operations, barge

accidents, storage tank failures, etc.

Nutrient and herbicide/pesticide loading from agricultural runoff and wastewater treatment

discharges, not only within the inner management zones but throughout the entire upstream

watershed.

Large quantity chemical or petroleum storage located within the ZOCC.

Spills on the Comb-Hehl bridge due to truck or other vehicle accidents.

Train derailments, including onboard locomotive fuel storage, hazardous cargo, and unit

trains of petroleum products.

Barge or tow boat accidents.

Harmful Algal Blooms.

Failure of coal ash landfills, both within the ZOCC, ZOHC, and throughout the upstream

watershed.

Permitted industrial discharges to the Ohio River.

WWTPs and permitted discharge of difficult-to-treat compounds such as residual

pharmaceutical compounds and other personal care products.

Unpermitted or illicit discharges, especially in the ZOCC.

5.0 Protective Strategies

Based on the PCSI and the subsequent prioritization, GCWW and NKWD have developed several

management strategies to reduce or eliminate the risk associated with each of these threats. Due

to the complexity of regulations that already apply to the river and the number of agencies and

jurisdictions in the upstream area, both GCWW and NKWD desire to employ voluntary strategies

as much as possible in the implementation of this plan. The potential for seeking regulatory

assistance to implement these strategies exists but the program will start as a voluntary program

and will remain that way unless a regulatory approach becomes necessary.

The strategies include:

Combs-Hehl Bridge Program

Transportation-Related Spill Notification and Mitigation

Voluntary Notification Program

New Regulation and Discharge Permit Application Review

Reservoir Water Quality Protection

Nutrient Reduction Program

Source Water Defender Recognition Program

The following sections provide an overview of each protective strategy.

Combs-Hehl Bridge Program

Given the location of the bridge relative to the intakes, a special program specifically targeting risk

reduction associated with the Combs-Hehl Bridge has been developed. In Phase 1 of this program,

GCWW and NKWD will work closely with the first responders and Emergency Management

Agencies (EMA’s) of Hamilton County, Ohio and Campbell County to develop procedures to

facilitate immediate notification to the utilities whenever a traffic accident is reported on the

bridge.

In Phase 2 of the program, GCWW/NKWD will open a dialogue with the Kentucky Department

of Transportation to (if possible) divert storm water that would drain to the left-descending bank

to the right-descending bank. Currently storm water drains through the collection system directly

down to the river, which means in the event of an accident any spilled material or firefighting

runoff will likewise drain straight down to the river. Previous studies by the USGS, with support

from GCWW and the American Water Works Association Water Research Foundation (USGS,

2009), have demonstrated that there is limited lateral dispersion within the Markland pool and that,

Page 59: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 41

generally, material spilled on the left-descending bank of the river tends to stay on that side.

Likewise, material spilled on the right-descending bank will generally remain on that side of the

river. By capturing and diverting runoff away from the left-descending bank, any spilled material

will likewise be diverted away from the side of the river with the intakes. This approach does not

protect the river from potential contamination. It does, however, move the potential contamination

away from the intakes where it may pass by the intakes without entering, thus protecting the

drinking water source.

Transportation-Related Spill Notification and Mitigation

While the Combs-Hehl Bridge is a specific transportation-related threat to the water quality,

transportation by trucks, trains and barges represent additional significant potential sources of

contamination of the source water. The following subsections describe general plans for

mitigating the threat posed by transportation-related sources.

Rail

As described in Section 3, CSX operates an approximately 130 mile long rail line from Cincinnati

to Ashland, KY and points east from there. In addition, CSX is one of the rail operators that

transport crude oil via rail in the extended protection area. GCWW and NKWD will develop a

specific program with CSX to discuss notification procedures and emergency response actions in

the event of a derailment or other accident that releases chemicals or hazardous materials. A

cornerstone of this program will be to streamline communications with the railroad for the rapid

exchange of information. If possible, the water utilities will participate in contingency planning

with the railroad.

Barge/Marine

Commercial and recreational boating brings potential contaminants close to the intakes of both

utilities and represents not only chemical threats but also physical threats should barges or boats

crash into the intake structures. GCWW and NKWD will implement the following:

Create an inventory of tow boat operators working the Markland pool.

Meet with tow boat operators; create specific programs with them to ensure timely spill

reporting and other procedures, such as refueling locations, barge staging areas, etc. that

protect the intakes.

Meet with the Coast Guard to review current regulations and determine whether additional

protections may be implemented. Additionally, GCWW/NKWD will work with the Coast

Guard and USACE to prohibit the staging or “laying off” of barges in the area near the

intakes.

Page 60: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 42

Monitor USACE lockmaster records to update barge contents inventory.

Install signs at marinas for recreational boaters with spill reporting information.

Vehicle

Generally cars and light trucks do not carry enough petroleum or chemicals to affect the Ohio

River to the point of endangering the quality of the source water. Tanker trucks, however, carry

larger quantities that could, if the contents enter the river via either surface streams or storm sewer,

affect the water quality. Signs have been installed as part of other conservation and water quality

improvement programs in many areas of the ZOCC and ZOHC instructing people how to report a

spill in the event of an accident. The sign coverage will be reviewed and additional signs will be

recommended or installed as needed/possible. In addition, GCWW and NKWD will work directly

with the EMA of Clermont and Hamilton Counties in Ohio and Campbell, Pendleton, and Bracken

counties in Kentucky to include notification to GCWW and NKWD by 911 operators for traffic

accidents that occur in the ZOCC.

Voluntary Notification Program

Any entity that has a spill or release is required to notify the National Response Center (NRC),

Ohio EPA and/or KDEP and local authorities of spills or releases, including those that may affect

the Ohio River. In the case of spills reported in the Ohio River, the NRC notifies ORSANCO, as

well as other regulatory and response agencies. ORSANCO, through their Spill Notification and

Emergency Response Program, then notifies the drinking water utilities downstream of the spill

location. While this system works effectively, the drinking water utilities are dependent upon

other agencies for notification of a spill. If the spill is close to the water intake, such as in the

ZOCC, the time it takes for the responsible party to notify the NRC and for that notification to

subsequently reach GCWW/NKWD may leave little to no time for the utilities to take appropriate

response measures. To augment the regulatory notification, GCWW and NKWD developed an

outreach program tailored to facilities located in the ZOCC that includes specific instructions for

also contacting the treatment plant operators directly in the event of a spill. This program, which

is called the Voluntary Notification Program, worked effectively during a diesel fuel spill on the

Ohio River in August, 2014 when 9,000 gallons of diesel fuel were released from the Beckjord

facility into the Ohio River. After making their required notifications, Duke Energy followed the

instructions provided to them under this program and notified the utilities directly. The utilities

received that direct notification approximately 2 hrs. before receiving notification through other

channels.

Page 61: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 43

The purpose of the program is:

To open and maintain lines of communication between facility personnel in the ZOCC

and the GCWW/NKWD.

Provide the facility operators with contact information so they are able to directly notify

GCWW/NKWD in the event a release occurs.

Relay to the facility operators that the goal of this notification program is to provide the

utilities as much time as possible to stop raw water pumping or change their treatment

process if needed.

Discuss with facility operators the need for spill response training including their

regulatory reporting responsibilities.

Components of this program include:

Face-to-face meetings with a representative from each high-priority facilities in the

ZOCC.

Providing a fact sheet describing the Voluntary Notification Program

Laminated information sheets with contact instructions for GCWW and NKWD.

Periodic follow-up with each facility to ensure contact information is up-to-date and

facilities remain aware of the program.

Encourage facility operators to understand all their reporting requirements and keep the

appropriate phone numbers and reporting procedures in easily accessible locations.

New Regulation and Discharge Permit Application Review

GCWW and NKWD will monitor legislative and regulatory activity to determine whether

new/revised laws or regulations may impact source water quality or the Source Water Protection

Program. At a minimum the following will be monitored:

ORSANCO Pollution Control Standards

US EPA Regulations

State (Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania) Regulatory Programs

US Coast Guard Regulations and Guidance

US Army Corp of Engineers Regulation and Guidance

Discharge Permit Applications (new sources or renewals)

Page 62: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 44

GCWW/NKWD will, as appropriate, comment on laws, regulations, policies, or discharges that

may result in impairment of the water quality or otherwise result in changes to treatment strategies

or require additional water treatment.

In addition to potentially commenting on new or altered laws and regulation, GCWW and NKWD

will continue to monitor discharge permit applications, both new sources and renewal applications.

Comments on these applications will be provided to the various state agencies as needed.

Reservoir Water Quality Protection

Both GCWW and NKWD operate reservoirs off the Ohio River. Specifically, GCWW operates

two brick-lined reservoirs surrounded by the California Golf Course off Kellogg Avenue in

Cincinnati. The two reservoirs were built circa 1904 and currently have a combined storage

capacity of over 340 million gallons. Water in the reservoirs has been treated for solids removal

at the Lamella Facility.

The NKWD also operates two reservoirs at the Fort Thomas Treatment Plant. The water in the

NKWD reservoirs is untreated raw water that has been pumped from the NKWD intake. The

reservoirs are rock lined and were built in 1891 with a combined capacity of 72 million gallons.

The NKWD reservoirs are surrounded by residential developments.

GCWW Reservoirs

The City of Cincinnati owns and operates the California Golf Course. The settling reservoirs for

GCWW are located within this golf course. GCWW has no direct control over the operations of

the golf course; however, historically golf course personnel have been cooperative with requests

from GCWW. In order to minimize direct runoff of any pesticides or herbicides, short berms,

approximately 6-inches high surround the reservoirs and direct any runoff to storm sewers. The

following programs have been developed to minimize the risk of adverse impacts to the water in

the reservoirs:

1. Periodic inspection of the berms to ensure they are intact the entire circumference of

both reservoirs. The berms will be inspected at least one a year and staff instructed to

report any breaches seen during casual observation.

2. Staff from GCWW will contact the golf course managers on an annual basis to maintain

a working relationship, discuss proper herbicide and pesticide application rates and

determine what chemicals are being applied. GCWW will discuss turf management

plans and ensure that grass clipping are directed away from the reservoirs during

Page 63: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 45

mowing. GCWW may, periodically, analyze water from downstream of the reservoirs

to determine whether the golf course is impacting water quality.

Nutrient Reduction Program

As previously stated, nitrate and other nutrients, such as phosphorus compounds, are not currently

a direct problem for either GCWW or NKWD from a water quality or MCL standpoint. The

nutrients are, however, an indirect concern as they may trigger or facilitate the growth of HABs,

which could, in turn, have a direct impact on the water quality. The US EPA maintains a data

portal that shows the location of streams and rivers that are impaired relative to nutrients based on

criteria in the Clean Water Act (CWA). Based on the US EPA data, there is only one small stream,

Tenmile Creek (Campbell Co., Kentucky, ORM 453.5) in Kentucky, that is in non-attainment

status for nutrients in either the ZOCC or ZOHC. In the extended area, however, there are a

significant number of rivers and streams in the Scioto River basin as well as the Hocking and Little

Muskingum basins, that are in non-attainment status for nutrients (http://gispub2.epa.gov/npdat/).

A summary of the tributaries that flow into the Ohio River (HUC 8 or larger) that are in non-

attainment status is included below:

Table 3. Summary of Direct Tributaries in Non-Attainment Status for Nutrients

This is consistent with the land use summaries provided by the USGS that describes the

concentration of agricultural uses throughout central Ohio. Several small individual potential

nutrient sources are identified by the US EPA within the ZOHC/ZOCC and those sites will be

evaluated as part of the ongoing PCSI inventory updates.

Due to the distance from the intakes and resource limitations, it is beyond the scope of the GCWW

and NKWD source water protection program to directly affect changes to nutrient loading

Page 64: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 46

throughout central Ohio and elsewhere. In recognition of the importance of nutrient loading to the

Ohio River, however, GCWW and NKWD will monitor and comment on changes to the laws and

permits that could have an impact on nutrient loading. Additionally, GCWW and NKWD will

support nutrient trading programs that will result in an overall decline in concentrations in the

river. The utilities may monitor water quality in Tenmile creek and develop an outreach program

to potential nutrient contributors in the Tenmile Creek drainage basin to help reduce nutrient

loading.

“Source Water Defender” Program

Most of the ZOCC and ZOHC is not located within the same municipal jurisdiction (or service

area) of either GCWW or NKWD. This limits the ability of the utilities to have local source water

protection ordinances enacted. In order to engage and motivate business and industries in the

ZOCC and ZOHC to participate in the Source Water Protection Program, GCWW and NKWD

will develop a recognition program for entities that meet certain minimum criteria. Business and

industries meeting these criteria will be designated a Source Water Defender and will be permitted

to display a logo and/or certification language at their facility or on the letterhead, etc. The

program will require renewal every two years and will be administered by GCWW and NKWD.

The threshold criteria will be further developed but, at a minimum, will include elements that result

in actual risk mitigation or reduction. Possible threshold criteria include:

Participation in the Voluntary Notification Program

Bi-annual contact update meeting

Best Management Practices for fuel and chemical handling and storage

Maintaining a Facility Spill Mitigation Plan

Annual Employee Training for reporting releases and spill response

Other potential criteria may also include:

Hazardous chemical inventory reduction

Onsite reconnaissance by GCWW or NKWD personnel to observe and inventory chemical

storage areas, outfalls, chemical transfer areas, spill response equipment, etc.

Periodic secondary containment inspection

Establishing Baseline Water Quality

Establishing long-term source water quality trends are critical to GCWW and NKWD for a number

of reasons including:

Page 65: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 47

Determining the most appropriate day-to-day treatment approach

Identifying subtle, long-term changes to water quality, identifying the cause of the change,

and developing the appropriate response.

Identifying key water quality parameters such as total organic carbon, or turbidity, which

can be targeted for improvement in the watershed, to the overall benefit of each utility.

Quantifying the effect of new discharges or changing land use in the upstream watershed.

Identifying acute short-term changes to water quality that could represent either seasonal

variation or an industrial discharge or spill.

GCWW, NKWD, and ORSANCO will maintain or expand their ongoing water quality sampling

programs to continue to profile the baseline water quality in the ZOCC near the intakes. These

data will be reviewed periodically to evaluate trends in baseline water conditions. Specific projects

designed to characterize the water flowing into the ZOCC may be initiated to determine the water

quality in the nearby tributaries. In the event that programs are established to limit the effect of

specific non-point source contamination in either the ZOCC or the ZOHC, the baseline data may

be used to determine the effectiveness of those programs.

Existing in-stream monitoring, such as ORSANCO’s ODS system, will continue to be supported.

Specific sampling plans will be described in the Monitoring Section in Section 8.

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 48

6.0 Education and Outreach

An active education and outreach program will enable the GCWW and NKWD to raise the

awareness of people and businesses about the sensitivity of the Ohio River as a drinking water

source and demonstrate how their activities impact our source water, both positively and

negatively. As in all aspects of this program, GCWW and NKWD will adopt a cooperative

approach and work with the several existing education foundations and non-profit educational

groups to promote our message.

In order to facilitate the various public education projects, a Public Education Committee (PEC)

will be formed. The PEC will comprise members from other outreach organizations and from

members of the Stakeholder Group. The PEC will develop and administer specific public outreach

programs based on input from the planning committee. One of the first tasks of the PEC will be

to develop a new name and logo for the NKWD-GCWW source water protection partnership.

Industry outreach programs will be developed to educate other river users about the presence of

our intakes, our concerns about water quality, and the necessity for clear and rapid communication

in the event of a spill.

Finally, outreach programs will be implemented to inform emergency response organizations and

other regulatory agencies about our drinking water concerns and our need for information during

response actions.

The following sections describe several potential outreach mechanisms; others will likely be

developed during implementation of the plan.

Presentations

GCWW and NKWD will seek opportunities to make presentations to civic groups, community

organizations, industries, etc. when possible. Priority will be given to groups in our ZOCC and

ZOHC but presentations will also be made to our customers so they will be aware of our protection

activities as well.

Consumer Confidence Report

GCWW/NKWD will describe the source of its drinking water, its susceptibility to contamination,

and efforts to protect it in the annual consumer confidence report. A contact number will also be

provided where consumers can call to get more information about protection of their water sources.

Page 67: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 49

Websites and Social Media

A program-specific website will be developed to educate the public and the customers of each

utility about the ongoing source water protection activities. In addition to describing the source

water program, the website will include information about ongoing activities, successful water

quality improvements, background information about the river and the GCWW/NKWD treatment

capabilities, etc. GCWW and NKWD will explore opportunities to work with local university

students to develop videos and other digital media. Social media will be used to further educate

the public and inform them about source water protection-related news. Social media outlets will

likely change over time but may include:

A Facebook page

Periodic Twitter postings

Encouraging stakeholders to link stories on LinkedIn

Others as they become available

Festivals

There are several annual festivals in both Ohio and Kentucky celebrating the rich history and

multiple uses of the Ohio River. The festivals often include a variety of river-related music,

recreational activities, and educational opportunities. GCWW/NKWD will look for ways to

become involved in these events such as sponsoring booths, providing speakers, and other support

at festivals to educate adults and children about the Ohio River as a Drinking Water Source and

ways to protect it.

Brochures and Fact sheets

General Public Brochure – A brochure focused toward the general public will be developed and

distributed at public outreach events and through general mailings. The brochure will describe the

importance of protecting the Ohio River for drinking water use, provide suggestions each

individual can do, and list contact numbers for spill reporting and further information. Other fact

sheets and brochures will be developed as needed.

Facility and Industry-Specific Brochures and Outreach

As previously described, GCWW and NKWD will open lines of communication with industries

upstream of the intakes in the ZOCC and ZOHC. As part of these ongoing contacts, outreach and

education materials will be developed to reinforce with the facility operators the sensitivity of the

river to contamination and the concerns we, as water utilities, have in maintaining or improving

Page 68: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 50

the water quality in the river. The following sections provide an overview of several proposed

outreach strategies.

General Industry

A brochure focused toward specific potential pollution sources will be developed and distributed

to facilities within the zone of critical and high concerns. Large or high risk facilities outside the

ZOHC but within the source water protection area may also be selected for brochure distribution.

The purpose of the brochure will be to remind facilities of drinking water intakes downstream of

their facility, provide contact information in the event of a spill, and educate them as to why a

drinking water utility (possibly several hundred miles away) has an interest in the operations at

their facility. To the extent possible, high-risk facilities in the extended zone will be visited

whenever possible. As previously described, high priority sites in the ZOCC will be visited on a

periodic basis to inform facility personnel about ongoing source water protection initiatives.

Transportation Outreach

Due to the nature of the transportation related facilities in the ZOCC, a special program will be

developed for rail, barge, and bridges. As previously indicated, CSX owns and operates the

railroad tracks located adjacent to the GCWW and NKWD intake structures. Additionally, those

tracks run parallel (and very close to) the Ohio River in the ZOCC. Given the proximity of those

tracks to the intakes and the river, the variability of cargo, and the complexity of communication

with the railroad a CSX-specific outreach program has been developed. GCWW has contacted

CSX and will continue to work directly with the CSX emergency management division to

streamline those communications.

Other Outreach Opportunities

ORSANCO provides basin-wide opportunities for outreach and public education through a variety

of public meetings, which include:

the triannual meetings of Commissioners;

public workshops and hearings during the triennial review of the Commission’s Pollution

Control Standards;

project-specific workshops (such as the CSO workshop); and

programs provided by the Commission public information section, such as the mobile

aquarium, school-based volunteer monitoring and the ORSANCO Ohio River Education

Foundation’s floating classroom.

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 51

The Foundation for Ohio River Education (FORE) is a 501c(3) non-profit organization that was

founded by ORSANCO in 2003 to design, manage, and raise funds for educational programs in

the Ohio River Basin. FORE has developed a curriculum for high schools that includes activities

focused on watersheds, point and non-point source pollution, and water monitoring. FORE has

also developed additional programming for elementary schools, community groups, and the

general public. Additionally, FORE partners with agencies and organizations throughout the Ohio

River Watershed to offer training opportunities for teachers, scientists, and environmental

educators. The Greater Cincinnati Area citizens, especially students, participate in these

ORSANCO-sponsored programs on a regular basis. The director of FORE has agreed to work

with GCWW/NKWD to ensure a coordinated outreach effort.

ORSANCO Water Users Advisory Committee

Experience has shown that there is a significant benefit to cooperation between drinking water

utilities on the Ohio River. In recognition of this, ORSANCO formed an advisory group called

the Water Users Advisory Committee and GCWW and NKWD have been active members of this

committee for many years. The committee, which comprises members from Ohio River surface

water utilities and industrial water users, meets three times a year, and communicates via e-mail

and conference call if needed to discuss issues potentially affecting the water quality in the Ohio

River.

The committee directly advises the ORSANCO Commissioners on issues that affect use of the

water, predominantly for drinking water. The committee meetings provide an opportunity for

utilities from the full length of the river to come together and discuss issues pertaining to the river.

The Committee advises the Commission on research needs, regulatory changes, and other issues

related to water quality and quantity.

GCWW and NKWD will continue to actively participate in this committee as it provides an avenue

for connection with other utilities along the river, provides a mechanism to influence change in

ORSANCO activities, and enhances source water protection efforts. Additionally, development

of this “community” of water utilities on the Ohio River facilitates communication and information

sharing during emergencies such as spills.

Signage Program

There are several large marinas within the ZOCC and within a mile downstream of the intakes.

Signs may be placed at public and, with the owner’s permission, private boat ramps and marinas.

The signs will notify boaters that there are drinking water intakes in the area and ask them to report

any spills to the appropriate authorities.

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 52

911 Notification Program

Based on discussions with representatives of nearby Local Emergency Planning Committees

(LEPC), GCWW and NKWD are eligible for notification by 911 operators if they receive a call

for an emergency that could affect the Ohio River. The Clermont County LEPC, Hamilton County

LEPC, and the Northern Kentucky Emergency Planning Commission will be contacted to have the

911 operators call the control rooms of the appropriate utility under prescribed conditions.

Facility Tours and Public Presentations

GCWW and NKWD routinely provide tours through the water plants or make public presentations

about its operation. The tour program will continue and the importance of the protecting the water

quality in the upstream area will be discussed.

Page 71: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 53

7.0 Contingency Planning

Both the GCWW and NKWD have developed Contingency Plans that cover all operations within

each utility. These plans are maintained at the utility and copies have been provided to, and

reviewed by, their respective regulatory agencies. Likewise, both utilities have also completed

Vulnerability Assessments which have identified Source Water as a critical vulnerability. By

identifying source water as a critical vulnerability, both utilities are prohibited from including the

specific information contained within either the Contingency Plan or the Vulnerability Assessment

in a publicly-available protection plan.

As previously stated, spills or other discharges to the Ohio River or its tributaries are among the

greatest threats to the source water quality for both GCWW and NKWD. Accordingly, much of

this source water protection program is centered on reducing the likelihood of a spill or, in the

event of a spill, ensuring that GCWW and NKWD receive accurate notification as quickly as

possible. ORSANCO tracks spill notifications and since 2000 (with the exception of 2006) there

has been at least 100 spills reported each year upstream of GCWW and NKWD. Fortunately the

majority of the spills are small and require little, if any, response by the utilities. During the period

of January through October of 2014, however, there were three significant spills that required

action by GCWW and NKWD to keep the water safe.

Despite the importance of spill management to both utilities, this Section does not comprise the

Spill Response or Emergency Response Plans for either GCWW or NKWD. This section provides

a broad overview of some of the basic parameters that have guided development of the spill and

emergency response plans. The Spill Response and Emergency Response Plans contain sensitive

information not suitable for a publically-available document. Consequently, the information

presented herein is general, by design.

Spills and other events that impair the water quality in the Ohio River generally come in two forms:

a single event comprising an accidental or illicit discharge or an unknown, possibly chronic,

release detected by source water monitoring. Details of the monitoring are provided in Section

8.0. While GCWW and NKWD will respond to a spill in accordance with their individual spill

response plans, both utilities have reservoirs of raw or partially treated water that allows them to

continue to operate their plants for limited periods of time while pumping from the river is

suspended and a contaminant plume is allowed to flow past the intakes. Furthermore, each utility

possesses advanced treatment technologies to further protect the quality of the finished water.

Spill Response (Emergency Actions)

DETAILED SPILL RESPONSE PLANS ARE MAINTAINED BY EACH UTILITY WHICH

WILL BE USED IF THERE IS A CURRENT EMERGENCY.

Notification is the key to successfully responding to a spill on the river and GCWW/NKWD have

adopted a two-pronged spill identification strategy. The first prong is to develop as many routes

of notification as possible to ensure a timely response. The second prong is participation in a

whole-river monitoring program through ORSANCO to detect unreported spills or releases.

Notification

Both GCWW and NKWD rely on ORSANCO to relay spill notification made through the National

Response Center (NRC) as the primary means to learn of spills or releases. ORSANCO receives

notification directly from the NRC and relays the information to the utilities via email. Spills that

require an immediate response, are of significant quantities, or that present an imminent danger to

a drinking water intake will be followed by telephone calls from ORSANCO to the utility.

Likewise, the Ohio EPA and the KDOW typically notify GCWW and NKWD respectively

whenever they receive notification of a spill on or near the river. Many businesses in the ZOCC

have entered into the Voluntary Notification Program as part of the source water protection

program and have agreed to call GCWW and NKWD in addition to their legally-required

notifications in the event of a spill or release. Further potential notification routes include 911,

EMA’s and local fire departments (see previous sections for descriptions). NKWD and GCWW

share notification, making sure that each of the utilities have received proper notification.

Detection

The second prong of the spill response plan is detection of unreported spills or tracking reported

spills on the river. To facilitate this, ORSANCO operates a network of water monitoring stations

down the length of the Ohio River called the Organics Detection System (ODS). The Organics

Detection System is a cooperative effort involving water utilities and other major Ohio River water

users to detect organic compounds in the river. A total of seventeen gas chromatographs (GCs)

located on the Ohio, Allegheny, Monongahela and Kanawha Rivers are operated daily to assure

that unreported releases or spills of organic compounds do not compromise drinking water intakes.

If an organic compound is detected, ORSANCO is notified by the GC operator and a verification

procedure is initiated to validate the presence of the compound in the river. Once validated, the

information is distributed to downstream water utilities, as well as state and federal agencies.

GCWW and NKWD both have advanced in-house laboratory analytical capabilities to analyze for

a variety of compounds that might be spilled.

Spill Response Planning

The GCWW/NKWD response to spills is based on several conditions including, but not limited

to:

location of the spill relative to the intakes

the compound(s) released

quantity released

velocity of the river/estimated time of arrival

level of confidence in the reported information

treatability of the released substance

ability to detect and quantify the compound(s) with in-house analytical equipment

water system demands and requirements

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 56

Spills within the ZOCC typically require immediate action on the part of GCWW and NKWD as

described in the Spill Response Plans. These responses become progressively more time critical

closer to the intakes.

In addition to ORSANCO’s sampling, GCWW and NKWD typically work together during a spill

to collect and analyze samples from both sides of the Ohio River upstream of the intakes. A list

of potentially accessible sampling locations upstream on the Ohio and Kentucky sides of the river

is maintained and included in the Spill Response Plans. In addition, Army Corps of Engineer

navigation charts and United States Geological Survey topographic maps can be consulted to

identify additional sampling locations if needed. Standing agreements are in place with Meldahl

Locks and Dam, other USACE dams, and Thomas More Biological Research Station that allow

GCWW and NKWD to utilize their facilities for sampling the river. Samples can also be collected

at various river access locations such as marinas and docks or by boat.

GCWW and NKWD maintains contact with other water utilities over the entire length of the river

and can request their assistance with sample collection further upstream of our intakes. Frequently

this sampling will include coordination with ORSANCO.

Arrival Time Calculations

Typically the arrival time of reported spills is estimated two ways by using either simple 1-

dimensional calculations or more complex numerical models. The simple calculations are based

on the average river velocity and the distance to the spill. Velocity data are obtained from the

National Weather Service (NWS) Ohio River Forecast Center. The calculated arrival times are

suitable for “first-cut” arrival time estimates or for spills that are relatively close to the intakes.

More complex numerical models use larger hydraulic datasets comprising stream gage data from

multiple sites throughout the basin to develop more comprehensive flow predictions. The models

also typically use more complex flow equations and take into account factors such as anisotropic

flow through a cross section, degradation of the chemical(s), and dilution due to inflow from

tributaries into the main stem, etc. ORSANCO, in collaboration with US EPA, has developed and

is updating an Ohio River-specific model to estimate travel times. Likewise, GCWW utilizes a

numerical model called ICWaters which can be applied to any watershed or river system using

online data from multiple stream gages. Both the calculated arrival times and the numerical models

contain uncertainties, all of which may be exacerbated by long distances or rapidly changing river

conditions.

Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant Upset Response

Northern Kentucky’s Sanitation District 1 (SD-1) operates a 4 million gallon per day, (upgradeable

to 16 MGD) wastewater treatment plant that discharges into Brush Creek and Twelvemile Creek

in Kentucky. Twelvemile Creek is a low flow creek entering the Ohio River at approximately

River Mile 451.6. Shortly after opening, SD-1 agreed to a joint monitoring and notification

program with GCWW. The program includes notification in the event of significant plant and

pump station upsets or bypasses.

Three other waste water treatment plants are located in Ohio within the ZOCC/ZOHC including:

Clermont County Ohio Nine Mile Creek waste water plant, Village of New Richmond waste water

plant, and the Village of Moscow’s waste water plant and/or combined sewer outlets (CSOs).

Consequently, GCWW and NKWD, with possible assistance from Ohio EPA, will structure a

similar voluntary notification program with these three utilities much like the program established

with SD-1.

In the event of an upset or large discharge of untreated sanitary waste to the receiving streams

and/or the Ohio River, GCWW and NKWD may elect to sample those streams for indications of

the water quality and/or implement additional treatment procedures if necessary. Sampling

locations will vary based on flow regimes in each of the receiving streams. To the extent possible,

GCWW and NKWD will collect flow velocity information for Twelvemile Creek and Ninemile

Creek to develop time-of-travel estimates from the SD-1 and Clermont County treatment plants.

Alternate Water Sources

As previously stated, GCWW and NKWD store raw or partially treated water in off-river

reservoirs. These reservoirs give each utility flexibility in determining specific response strategies

including the ability to continue to operate the plants and provide water to our customers even

though raw water pumping may be suspended while a plume is present near the intakes.

In addition to the off-river storage, both GCWW and NKWD maintain alternate water sources.

GCWW owns and operates the Charles M. Bolton Water Treatment plant which is located in

Fairfield, Ohio and draws water from the Great Miami River Buried Valley Aquifer, a source that

is hydraulically separate from the Ohio River. The Bolton plant is rated for a maximum of 40

MGD and while this will not replace the full quantity of water from RMTP, it is enough to

significantly extend the period raw water pumping can be suspended and does, however, meet

State-mandated minimum water quantities.

Page 76: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

Source Water Protection Plan

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 58

Similarly, the NKWD operates a treatment plant on the Licking River in Taylor Mill, Kentucky.

Much like GCWW, the Licking River plant cannot fully replace the water from the Ft. Thomas

plant but it will significantly extend the period the Ft Thomas plant can stop pumping raw water.

The Licking River is in direct hydraulic connection with the Ohio River and it is possible for

contaminants to flow back up the Licking. NKWD monitors water quality in the Licking River

during a spill to ensure that contaminant plumes are not flowing upstream.

For both GCWW and NKWD, the alternate water sources are sufficient to meet the minimum

regulatory quantity required by either Ohio EPA or KDOW. Both GCWW and NKWD have taken

future growth into account in their long-term planning and the capacities of RMTP and the Fort

Thomas plant have sufficient excess capacity to cover that projected growth. A discussion of the

financial mechanisms are discussed in other documents.

Spill Response Training

Example spill scenarios will be used to periodically train water works personnel on the proper spill

response actions. Hypothetical release scenarios may be developed for selected sites within the

ZOCC based on the information in the PCSI and general knowledge of the upstream watershed.

The results of the desktop exercises will be stored and maintained as reference material in the event

of an actual spill. The roles of emergency responders will also be evaluated as will various

mitigation strategies, such as booming around the intakes. The desktop exercises will also be used

to identify and rectify gaps in the necessary contact information.

8.0 Monitoring

Monitoring land use, industrial practices and water quality will be a part of the source water

protection program. The purpose of the monitoring is to identify conditions that could lead to

contaminants entering the river, establish baseline water quality, monitor for changes in baseline

water quality, and monitoring for spills and other releases.

Watershed Surveillance

At least once per quarter a source water protection representative will drive through the ZOCC to

observe conditions of the Ohio River and major tributaries for indications of changes to the water

quality. Likewise, the source water protection representative will observe some of the larger

potential contaminant sources or pollution control devices for indications of changes or for signs

of spills or releases. The quarterly reconnaissance will be limited to fence-line observations;

quarterly onsite visits are not anticipated. By conducting quarterly drive-thru reconnaissance,

GCWW and NKWD will gain additional insight into the land uses and industrial practices

throughout the ZOCC. Additionally, these overviews may provide insights into temporal changes

in and around the tributaries in the ZOCC such as increases in turbidity, large-scale erosion, site

clearing and construction, etc. Observations made during the watershed surveillance will be

recorded on a field forms.

ODS Monitoring

As previously described, ORSANCO, in cooperation with water utilities, operates the ODS

system. As part of this monitoring program, samples are collected at a frequency of at least one

sample per day, although several stations collect samples at a higher frequency. Samples are

analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using either a gas chromatograph/mass

spectrometer (GCMS), on-line gas chromatograph, or flame ionization detectors (FID).

GCWW is designated as one of the 17 ODS monitoring locations described above. In addition to

the daily analysis for VOCs using GC/MS, additional samples are also automatically collected

every two hours and screened for VOCs using a FID. If the FID shows a detection, a confirmation

sample will be run on the GC/MS to identify the compound(s) and quantify the concentration.

Utility Raw/Source Water Monitoring

To address non-VOC water quality concerns, both NKWD and GCWW have advanced in-house

laboratory capabilities. These capabilities may be utilized for both routine water quality

monitoring as well as during spill events to track contaminant plumes. GCWW samples raw water

daily for turbidity and pH; weekly for alkalinity and hardness, microbiological constituents,

chlorophyll, algae, total organic carbon, odor; monthly for phosphate, ammonia, nitrate, bromide,

Page 78: Source Water Protection Plan · 2019. 6. 5. · Source Water Protection Plan A Plan to Protect the Drinking Water Resources on the Ohio River in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern

chloride, sulfate, perchlorate, particle counts, UV254, MIB (an algal breakdown product); annually

for pesticides/herbicides, synthetic organic compounds, radiological compounds and selected

metals. This sampling plan is reviewed periodically and may change based on river conditions or

other circumstances. The NKWD also has a similar raw water monitoring program.

GCWW currently monitors for algal toxins in the source water in accordance with guidance and

regulations issued by the Ohio EPA. The sampling frequency for algal toxins may vary but will,

at a minimum, meet the Ohio EPA requirements. Likewise, NKWD currently monitors for algal

toxins on a bi-weekly basis. NKWD is subject to KDOW regulation and will, at a minimum,

monitor the source water in accordance with evolving state regulations.

GCWW currently monitors for cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia, total coliform, and

Escherichia coli in Twelvemile Creek in Kentucky and upstream on the Ohio River on a

quarterly basis and periodically from Ninemile Creek in Ohio. This monitoring program is

related to two large waste water treatment plants located in the ZOCC/ZOHC. Monitoring

frequency will be re-evaluated periodically and may be adjusted based on previous results.

Samples may also be collected from tributaries in the ZOCC for nutrient or other water quality

parameters to identify water quality impacts in small sub-basins. If appropriate, GCWW/NKWD

will coordinate with active watershed groups as needed. A summary of the GCWW monitoring

plan is provided in Table 4.

Additional monitoring may be conducted as conditions require.

9.0 Implementation

As previously indicated, this Plan will result in an ongoing source water protection program and a

general implementation schedule for the first three years of the program is included in Appendix

E. The Source Water Protection Plan will be review and revised at least every 6 years. The spill

response plans will be updated more frequently to ensure the contact information contained therein

remains updated. The sampling plan will be modified as needed based on changes to land use,

new or altered industrial facilities or discharges, emerging contaminants, etc.

The program will be jointly administered by GCWW and NKWD. GCWW currently employs a

Source Water Protection Manager who is responsible for implementing this program and reporting

progress to the planning committee. It is anticipated that GCWW and NKWD will provide

resources as needed to properly execute the sampling and analysis tasks. Water quality analyses

will be a combination of in-house analysis by either GCWW or NKWD or through a contract

laboratory.

Evaluating Effectiveness

The Planning Committee will retain the responsibility for evaluating the effectiveness of the

Source Water Protection Program. It is anticipated that the planning committee will transition into

a management body and will continue to meet at least quarterly to track progress on individual

initiatives and tasks.

The effectiveness will be measured relative to the program goals described in Section 1 of the plan.

Furthermore, the effectiveness will be measured based on the participation levels of upstream

industries in the source water recognition program, the completeness of the PCSI, continued

cooperation and collaboration between GCWW and NKWD, timeliness of spill notification, and

the number and quality of outreach opportunities and targeted presentations. Likewise, the

program will be successful if periodic contact with upstream industries is maintained.

Effectiveness of Basin-wide Source Water Protection Efforts

ORSANCO is in a unique position to measure the effectiveness of its efforts, because every year

there are hundreds of spills on the Ohio River. Whenever its notification efforts enable a utility to

avoid drawing contamination into a drinking water intake, both ORSANCO and the affected

communities have scored a source water protection success. ORSANCO annual reports

documenting the year’s spill events are available at:

http://www.orsanco.org/rivinfo/pubs/orsa.asp.

Greater Cincinnati Water Works and Northern Kentucky Water District Page 63

Annual Reporting

A report summarizing the previous year’s source water protection activities will be prepared by

annually. The content of the annual report will be determined by the Planning Committee but will

likely include: changes to the PCSI (new sites, removal of sites, changes in industrial practices,

etc.), changes to the prioritization schemes, review of site meetings, document all outreach

activities, spill reports, monitoring results, etc.
