    Confidential Yes No TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM Water Quality Water Treatment Facilities and Water Resources Master Plan TO: City of Ann Arbor FROM: CH2M HILL DATE: May 2006 1 Executive Summary The water quality task looked at water quality and monitoring practices in the Huron River and groundwater. The objectives of the water quality task are to: • Make recommendations for dealing with sulfate and 1,4-dioxane in groundwater • Make recommendations for monitoring and improving water quality in Barton Pond and groundwater 1.1 1,4-Dioxane 1,4-Dioxane is a potential human carcinogen and has been found in some Ann Arbor groundwater aquifers in the City of Ann Arbor. One of the aquifers where 1,4-dioxane has been detected contains one of the City’s drinking water supply wells. 1,4-Dioxane has been measured at low levels in the City’s well. Subsequent to detection, this well has been taken out of service. A review of treatment technologies for removal of 1,4-dioxane from water indicated that a combination of ultraviolet (UV) light and hydrogen peroxide may be effective. Removal of 1,4-dioxane at the water plant with existing treatment processes was also reviewed. Based on published literature, it was not anticipated that the existing treatment processes would achieve a high degree of 1,4-dioxane removal. Bench scale tests using Ann Arbor raw water spiked with 1,4-dioxane indicated that only moderate removal (about 40 to 70 percent) could be achieved through all the current water treatment processes. To achieve a high degree of removal (90 to 99 percent), additional processes, such as UV light and hydrogen peroxide, would be needed.

  • Biology 109: Ecological Knowledge and Environmental Problem Solving
    Biology 109: Ecological Knowledge and Environmental Problem Solving Huron River Case Study © 2014 Prof. John T. Lehman The causes of excessive algal growth and nuisance algal blooms have been recurrent themes in this course. In the Soap and Detergent case study and in the Lake Washington case study we learned that the underlying problem is usually elevated supplies of phosphorus, which encourage the production and accumulation of algal biomass. Moreover, we learned in the Ore Lake case study that elevated phosphorus in combination with low levels of inorganic nitrogen can promote the growth of cyanobacteria (‘bluegreen algae’) that form unsightly surface scums, and which can release toxins and deplete dissolved oxygen when they die and decompose. The City of Ann Arbor, MI has been embroiled in a dispute with State environmental regulatory agencies (alternatively named MDNR, MDEQ, MNRE) over water quality conditions of two man-made lakes along the Huron River: Ford Lake and Belleville Lake. Both impoundments of the river were constructed in the first half of the 20th Century for the purpose of generating hydroelectricity. Both have exhibited nuisance concentrations of cyanobacteria during the summer. However, both lakes are considered to be the most productive warm-water fisheries in the state, with thriving populations of bluegill, bass, perch, walleye, and other species. State environmental regulators have tended to blame the water quality problems on Ann Arbor because the city operates a wastewater treatment facility (WWTP) that discharges into the Huron River near Dixboro Road, at the eastern, downstream boundary of the city jurisdiction, just 9.5 km (6 miles) upstream from the inlet to Ford Lake (Fig.
