Please check all boxes that apply and submit the supporting documentation. Attachments 8 through 11 must be addressed.

[No boxes were checked. Instead, “No” was written adjacent to the question.]

Has the location of the treatment plant or wells changed since the last submittal? If so, then provide as Attachment 1 a new location map (which can be a county road map or a GIS produced map showing the county roads). Showing the treatment plant and well locations if the wells are not in the vicinity of the plant.
Has the system increased the water withdrawal rate or has there been any water quality problems or changes since the last submittal? If so, provide as Attachment 2, a narrative discussing historical water withdrawal and water quality.
Has the system changed or modified the wells or springs being used? If so, provide as Attachment 3, copies of the completed Kentucky Water Well Inspection Form for each well or spring. Any other information relating to well construction (i.e., installation logs, driller’s logs, lithologic or geophysical logs) should also be included.
If the system is re-delineating the WHPAS, or if a new well or spring is being used since the last submittal, then the following must be provided. Provide as Attachment 5, a site- specific description of the geology including the aquifer being used. Include references where published literature is used. If aquifer tests (i.e. pumping tests, slug tests, tracer tests) were performed to determine hydraulic parameters, provide a detailed report of the hydrogeologic investigation, including data gathering and evaluation methods. Show calculations and supporting data for each WHPA (WHPA-1, WHPA-2, and WHPA-3). Provide, as Attachment 6, a photocopy of the appropriate U.S.G.S. Topographic Quadrangle Map(s) or a GIS produced topographic map with WHPA-1, WHPA-2, and WHPA-3 clearly shown and labeled. Each well or spring must also be identified by its AKGWA #.

Page 4. [water_management_00061-4.jpg]

Have the wellhead protection areas…changed since the last submittal or has additional potential sources of contamination originated in the WHPAs? If so, then provide as Attachment 7, a new contaminant source inventory. Each contaminant source that is shown on the CSI map must be identified by a unique reference number that corresponds to the Local ID no. The rational[e] for the inventory methods that were used and the susceptibility determination ranking for each contaminant source must be discussed.

Provide as Attachment 8 a discussion of the previously proposed management strategies. This discussion must include the management strategies that were implemented, the goals that were met with the past management strategies. The discussion must also include any proposed management strategies and the party responsible for implementing the proposed management plans.
Provide as Attachment 9 a narrative discussing contingency and WHP planning. The narrative should at a minimum address the recall roster listing the chain of command to be used in the event of a[n] emergency, procedures to establish short term and long term water supplies, procedures for public communication during an emergency, and identify future problems and develop solutions.
Provide, as Attachment 10, copies of all public notices regarding wellhead protection efforts.
Provide, as Attachment 11, public comments and record of attendance for public meetings on wellhead protection.

Management Strategies
Pine Mountain Settlement School
Spring Protection Area
Attachment #8

Few contaminants source management programs are [extant] for PMSS Spring Protection Area. The inventoried contaminants source for the Spring Protection Area pose little risk to the protection area. This is due to the remoteness of the School and the fact that the Spring Protection Area is entirely on the School’s property. Also, most contaminants would be considered non-hazardous in nature.

Management strategies have been developed by the planning team and have been implemented.

Implemented strategies include:

1. Posting spring protection signs along roadways. (Little Shepherd Trail)
2. Planning team members will monitor the designated area along the forest service road on a weekly basis for an activity or materials that might pose a threat to the SPA.
3. Planning team members will continue to educate the public with regards to ground water protection via comprehensive educational programming.
4. In addition, all employees of PMSS will be informed of these management strategies and will be encouraged to safeguard the SPA by reporting any potential contaminated sources they witness.

The area around the spring and reservoir are protected by a Lands Unsuitable for Mining Petition and also 350 acres is designated as a State Nature Preserve.

The Pine Mountain Settlement School maintains a 24 hour 7 day per week security force which makes it easier to detect and correct a contamination source.

Emergency Procedures: Safe Drinking Water
(Attachment #9)

Emergency Procedures

A. Procedures to establish long term water supply in the event of emergencies:

1. Shut down pumping station at Pine Mountain Settlement School’s reservoir to filter system immediately.
2. A 35,000 gallon storage tank is part of the water treatment facility in existence at the School. Water in the tank would be tested in the event of an emergency to ensure no contaminants were present.
3. Pine Mountain Settlement School staff and planning team members would work to develop alternative water sources in the event that storage tank water is non potable.
4. Water conservation measures would then be implemented if no contamination were present. Water would then be used for drinking and cooking only. A boil water advisory would be posted if deemed necessary.
5. If deemed necessary, potable water could be transported to the campus of the School by tanker truck or water would be obtained by other means (bottled water, etc.)

B. Procedures to establish long term water supply in the event of emergencies:

1. The Pineville Water System has an existing water line that goes by the School’s front gate. Working with them, we would run a new water line to our 35,000 gallon storage tank to ensure a water supply to each of the School’s 18 buildings.

C. Procedures for public communications in the event of an emergency would be made via the Cumberland Valley Area Development District. If needed, additional communications would be carried out by the local media. (i.e.: newspaper, television and radio)

Public Spring Protection Plan
Emergency Response Recall Roster

A. In the event of an emergency which would endanger the water quality of the Pine Mountain Settlement School’s Spring Protection Area, a recall roster has been developed by the planning team.

1. David Shepherd, plant operator 606-xxx-xxxx or 606-xxx-xxxx
2. Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection Division of Water 502-xxx-xxxx
3. Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection Environmental Response Line 502-xxx-xxxx or 800–xxx-xxxx
4. Harlan County Disaster and Emergency Services 606-xxx-xxxx
5. Ben Begley, PMSS planning team representative 606-xxx-xxxx
6. Nancy Adams, PMSS Executive Director 606-xxx-xxxx or xxxx
7. Lorraine Browning, Cafeteria Manager 606-xxx-xxxx
8. Staff of Pine Mountain Settlement School

B. This chain of command would inform the Spring Protection Area Community quickly and effectively with instruction regarding what course of action is to be taken. These individuals will also contact any members of the local community who might be affected by an emergency event. The recall roster will be posted at work stations on the campus of Pine Mountain Settlement School.

Public Notices Regarding Spring Protection
(Attachment #10)

Pine Mountain Settlement School has a staff of 24 full- and part-time employees. Though classified as a non-community non-transit water plant only 5 staff members are full-time residents of the School. Therefore, public notices were not necessary to inform School staff. Informing the staff of the Spring Protection Plan was accomplished through memorandums and verbal communication as needed. Staff members were advised of the scope of Kentucky’s Spring Protection Plan and the efforts being made by the planning team members of Pine Mountain Settlement School. Daily and/or weekly updates are given as work progressed.

Public Records
And
Record of Attendance
(Attachment #11)

Since public hearings were unnecessary during Phase 1, no records of attendance were kept.

All 24 full- and part-time staff members were notified of the ongoing efforts concerning Pine Mountain Settlement School’s Spring Protection Plan. Comments were favorable to the implementation of a protection plan. It was noted that such a plan would be very beneficial to the present and future programs offered by Pine Mountain Settlement School.
