Scope of Work
The Contamination Burden Technical Committee scope of work will be quite different from the other committees, since no specific section of the code will be drafted by this Technical Committee. This Technical Committee will provide data to assist other technical committees in specifying performance requirements. The Technical Committee will summarize existing information on the two primary composite contaminant types: particulates and chlorine demand. The other committees can then provide the models to calculate the capacity of the filtration, circulation, and chemical feed systems needed to protect public health. It is expected that limited data will prevent the other committees from making concrete, data-based decisions on removal rate requirements, but those areas may become topics for future research. The Contamination Burden Technical Committee will summarize existing data and point out areas where data is lacking.
