8    (a) The Agency shall adopt rules governing certain
9corrosion prevention projects carried out on community water
10supplies. Those rules shall not apply to buried pipelines
11including, but not limited to, pipes, mains, and joints. The
12rules shall exclude routine maintenance activities of

1the painting of fire hydrants; routine over-coat painting of
2interior and exterior building surfaces such as floors, doors,
3windows, and ceilings; and routine touch-up and over-coat
4application of protective coatings typically found on water
5utility pumps, pipes, tanks, and other water treatment plant
6appurtenances and utility owned structures. Those rules shall
7include:
8        (1) standards for ensuring that community water
9    supplies carry out corrosion prevention and mitigation
10    methods according to corrosion prevention industry
11    standards adopted by the Agency;
12        (2) requirements that community water supplies use:
13            (A) protective coatings personnel to carry out
14        corrosion prevention and mitigation methods on exposed
15        water treatment tanks, exposed non-concrete water
16        treatment structures, exposed water treatment pipe
17        galleys; exposed pumps; and generators; the Agency
18        shall not limit to protective coatings personnel any
19        other work relating to prevention and mitigation
20        methods on any other water treatment appurtenances

22        control and prevention to prolong the life of the water
23        utility asset; and
24            (B) inspectors to ensure that best practices and
25        standards are adhered to on each corrosion prevention
26        project; and

 

 

09900HB3303sam001- 3 -LRB099 05805 MJP 51580 a

1        (3) standards to prevent environmental degradation
2    that might occur as a result of carrying out corrosion
3    prevention and mitigation methods including, but not
4    limited to, standards to prevent the improper handling and
5    containment of hazardous materials, especially lead paint,
6    removed from the exterior of a community water supply.
7    In adopting rules under this subsection (a), the Agency
8shall obtain input from corrosion industry experts
9specializing in the training of personnel to carry out
10corrosion prevention and mitigation methods.
11    (b) As used in this Section:
12    "Community water supply" has the meaning ascribed to that
13term in Section 3.145 of this Act.
14    "Corrosion" means a naturally occurring phenomenon
15commonly defined as the deterioration of a metal that results
16from a chemical or electrochemical reaction with its
17environment.
18    "Corrosion prevention and mitigation methods" means the
19preparation, application, installation, removal, or general
20maintenance as necessary of a protective coating system,
21including any or more of the following:
22            (A) surface preparation and coating application on
23        the exterior or interior of a community water supply;
24        or
25            (B) shop painting of structural steel fabricated
26        for installation as part of a community water supply.
