7    Sec. 14.7. Preservation of community water supplies.
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
13community water supplies including, but not limited to, the use
14of protective coatings applied by the owner's utility personnel
15during the course of performing routine maintenance
16activities. The activities may include, but not be limited to,

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
21        where protective coatings are utilized for corrosion
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

 

 

09900SB1281ham001- 3 -LRB099 08118 MGM 36417 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:
19        the preparation, application, installation, removal,
20    or general maintenance as necessary of a protective coating
21    system, including 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.

16    (a) The Department may adopt rules governing all corrosion
17prevention projects carried out on eligible bridges. Rules may
18include a process for ensuring that corrosion prevention and
19mitigation methods are carried out according to corrosion
20prevention industry standards adopted by the Department for
21eligible bridges that include:
22        (1) a plan to prevent environmental degradation that
23    could occur as a result of carrying out corrosion
24    prevention and mitigation methods including the careful
