For users of non R-1 recycled water spray irrigation systems, the owner shall also describe the methods and controls used to ensure that public contact with aerosols are minimized. (f) For new users of recycled water obtaining access to an existing recycle water system, the user shall submit the information and plans required in subsections (c) and (d), except for the information contained in (d)(1) regarding vegetative consumption rates and water balance, and subsection (d)(8) regarding groundwater monitoring. For users of non R-1 recycled water spray irrigations systems, the owner shall also describe the methods and controls used to ensure that public contact with aerosols are minimized. (g) For recycled distribution water systems, the owner of the recycled water distribution system shall submit an engineering report or recycled water application containing the following information: (1) Name, address, and phone number of the owner and party responsible for the recycled water distribution system (if different from the owner); (2) Information about the treatment works supplying the recycled water, including the name, address, tax map key number, and owner's name; (3) Maps showing the location of the distribution system layout. The maps shall also include the location of all water and sewer lines; (4) A labeling plan to distinguish piping and appurtenances which carry or contain recycled water from those for potable water; and (5) A description of how the distribution system complies with this chapter and the Reuse Guidelines. (h) The engineering report or application required in subsection (d), (e), (f), or (g) plus any other submittals shall contain sufficient information 62-45 3176 §11-62-27 to assure the director that the degree of treatment and reliability is commensurate with the proposed use, that the distribution and use of the recycled water will not create a health hazard or nuisance, and that the director is able to make decisions in accordance with subsection (b). (i) For recycled water systems that use recycled water, the owner of the recycled water system shall operate the system in accordance with the requirements of this chapter and to the maximum extent practicable shall: (1) Irrigate at a rate not greater than the plants use it; (2) Minimize recycled water runoff and ponding on the ground; (3) Post signs or other devices warning the public not to drink, swim, or otherwise come into contact with the recycled water; (4) Keep the public away from the areas being irrigated with recycled water; (5) Clearly mark pipes, tanks, valves, and equipment used in recycled water use systems such that they are easily differentiated from potable water systems; (6) Provide training to employees such that they are aware of this chapter and any conditions the director imposed on the recycled water use system; (7) Provide control measures to minimize vector nuisances; and (8) Monitor groundwater as required by the director. (j) The owners of new, proposed, or modified recycled water systems, where applicable, shall provide adequate storage basin(s) or a backup disposal system to prevent any overflows or discharges from the system when the irrigation system is not in operation or when recycled water quantities exceed the irrigation requirements. (k) Spills, overflows, and discharges ("spills") of recycled water shall be responded to as required by section 11-62-06(f) and (g) and Appendix B, entitled 62-46 3176 11
