AWWA WSC70042

This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of the Port Hueneme Naval Base in Ventura County, California. The scope of work included a contamination warning system (CWS) pilot-program development and implementation. This effort included: CWS Master Planning Effort (including hydraulic modeling); design of the CWS; installation and testing of the CWS; and, CWS data analysis and lessons learned. The objective of the pilot project was to: demonstrate the multiple benefits of the CWS related to contamination warning, regulatory compliance, and operational support; and, serve as a model for other Department of Defense (DOD) facilities. Presentation conclusions indicate the following: CWS can and should be designed for multiple benefits (contamination warning, regulatory compliance, and operational support); in order to properly design a CWS, site-specific information and priorities must be carefully weighed (one size does not fit all); a properly designed data handling and transfer approach to CWS should yield validated data available to operations staff in a matter of minutes as opposed to days; and, contract amendments, purchasing and awarding construction contracts on DoD facilities is a very lengthy. Includes tables, figures.
