3. Class B Biosolids Application to Fannlands. 4. T ARP Groundwater Monitoring Program. Environmental Monitoring and Research Division. Long-tenn environmental monitoring and research programs, such as: 1. A WQM Network Program. 2. Illinois Waterways Monitoring Program. 3. Fulton County Retention Basin Monitoring. 4. Thornton Transitional Reservoir and Monitoring Wells. Short-tenn environmental monitoring and research projects, such as: 1. Hanover Park Ultraviolet Disinfection Systems Dose Response Evaluation. 2. Analytical assistance during Fish Kill events. 3. Water Environment Research Foundation WRP Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Study. 4. Disinfection Study of Egan Excess Discharge Flow. 5. Penneable Pavement Monitoring Plan. 6. Endocrine Disruptor Study. 7. Enhanced Primary Settling Testing. 8. Data Collection for North Side WRP GPS-X Dynamic Model. Industrial Waste Division. The Section continued to provide analytical assistance for the administration of the District's SWCO and the User Charge Ordinance (UCO), in addition to compliance testing related to the categorical pretreatment limits. This includes: (1) maintaining evidentiary laboratory chain of custody for all samples obtained from various industrial dischargers; (2) providing records as required for various legal proceedings, hearings and/or Freedom of Infonnation Act requests; (3) providing responses of a technical nature to dischargers' inquiries related to analytical methodologies. Vital technical and programming assistance continued to be provided for the interfacing of the new Sample Manager for Windows LIMS upgrade to the Pretreatment Infonnation Management System. 40
Organic Compounds Analytical Laboratory The Organic Compounds Analytical Laboratory (OCAL) is located at the Egan WRP and is responsible for analysis of organic compounds in samples primarily from the District's WRPs, industrial waste discharges, and Chicago land and Illinois Waterways. During 2010, the OCAL performed 142,647 analyses on 607 samples in providing analytical services to the following: Maintenance and Operations Department. 1. Organic Priority Pollutants analyses in raw sewage, sludge, and final effluent samples from the seven District WRPs for monitoring NPDES compliance semi-annually. 2. Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Product (PPCP) compounds analyses in raw sewage, sludge, and final effluent samples from the seven District WRPs for monitoring emerging pollutants. 3. Organic Compounds analyses for 40 CFR Part 503 compliance monitoring in sludge from the seven District WRPs. 4. Preparation for complying with the General Storm Water permit for the seven District WRPs. 5. Organic compounds analyses for TARP and CSO events. 6. Organic compounds analyses for Emergency Spill and Fish Kill samples. Environmental Monitoring and Research Division. 1. Emission study of volatile organic compounds in District raw sewage samples from the seven District WRPs. 2. Nonylphenols in Chicagoland and Illinois Waterways samples. 3. Organic priority pollutants/BETXlPPCP in Chicagoland and Illinois Waterway samples, in aqueous samples. 4. Organic Compounds including Herbicides in Lockport Powerhouse drinking water samples annually. 5. Culture or toxicity water samples from the Analytical Microbiology and Biomonitoring Section. 41
