THE COMMITTEE’S CHARGE
The committee is responsible for: (a) investigation
of corrosion problems in utility systems; (b) recommendations for Section

control Section training courses and seminars; and (d) such other tasks as the
Governing Board may deem appropriate. The committee chair shall be qualified in

Speakers
for This Conference: Barnes:
All speakers have confirmed presentation as scheduled.
New Business:
Suggestion: Barnes: The suggestion was made to combine the Corrosion Control Committee with the Materials Performance Committee. There seems to be considerable overlap between the two committees. Many of the members attempt to serve on both. The combining of the two committees would eliminate a meeting plus allow better participation. Barnes will present this idea to Division.
New
Members – Membership is open to
those who attend “TWO” meetings. Policy
is that if you miss three meetings in a row you will be removed from the
committee. The roster of attendance has
been updated.
AWWARF Report - Graham Bell, MJ Schiff and Assoc. No Report on,
"Identify Causes and Solutions for External Corrosion Control on Buried
Water Mains". It was decided to
drop this report from the agenda.

MEMORANDUM DATE:
TO: Tanks, Reservoirs & Structures
Maintenance and
Corrosion Control Committees
California/Nevada A WW A
FROM: Bill Harper, Past Chair, TR&SM Committee
& Corrosion Control Committee SUBJECT: Miscellaneous Reports for 2002
Spring Conference
To eliminate taking valuable time in a
verbal report, I have taken the liberty of highlighting the areas which I normally
monitor. The following items are noteworthy
I. NSF 61- I am now a member ofaDOHS-ODW Task Force charged with assisting DOHS in a
final revision of the Waterworks Standards, a minor part which is Section 64591
Indirect Additives. The Chair feels despite the revival of action on the WW Stds. it will still require at least another 18 months
before the Standards are completed and adopted. This would indicate we would
finally officially have to comply with NSF 61 for tank and pipe coatings, etc.
maybe by the end of 2003 or the beginning of2004.
In the interim, their policy remains to
accept coatings from both the May 9, 1989 EPA Drinking Water Additives List and
the current lists approved under NSF 61. This has been verified by a previous
memorandum sent from the former Chief of the Certification Unit to all District
and Regional offices of ODW/DOHS.
Some confusion still exists with local
ODW/DOHS offices regarding the statement that "ODW/DOHS recommends,
wherever possible, coatings from the NSF 611ist be used". This is not to
be construed that the EP A listing is deleted, verified by the above referenced
telecon and memorandum.
2. Coal tar enamel -As of
EPA list for the approval by
ODW/DOHS.
3. A WW A D102- As a member of the Dl02
Revision Task Force, recommended revisions to the August 1997 Standard have
been resubmitted to the Steel Tank Committee for review and possible approval.
There are two negatives to resolve, but the Chair feels this will transpire at
A WW A New Orleans during June. This means we could have approval and
publication by the end of this year.
4. Zinc as a Heavy Metal- I spoke with
the Hazardous Substances Scientist for Cal EP A, Department of Toxic Substances
Control, earlier this month and unfortunately, he again indicated there is
nothing new on "Zinc as a Heavy Metal in
Governor Gray's administration, so the status is the
same as before: Zinc is a heavy metal and all worker, environmental, and
disposal regulations continue to be in effect.
Status of South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) VOC Limits in California -The continued direction
of SCAQMD is to lower the VOC limits for Industrial Maintenance Coatings to 250
glL in July 2002 and then to 100 glL in July 2006. I have researched products
which are equivalent to presently used products and it appears there are
acceptable alternative materials to most current products which will meet the
250 glL limit. The l00 glL limit does pose a significant problem,
but hopefully lawsuits, etc. will resolve this issue long before the deadline.
SPECI
Status of California Air Resources Board
(CARE) VOC Limits in California -Responding to industry complaints, CARE backed
off its original stringent Suggested Control Measure (SCM) position and has
left the issue up to the 35 APCD's and AQMD's, so we need to continue to monitor the District in
which your project is planned for their current VOC levels.
NEW ITEM FOR THOUGHT -Another negative
has arisen on the horizon related to VOC limits, that of an alliance of
regulatory officials unveiling of a proposal to further reduce VOC limits
beyond those presently proposed. The groups are commonly referred to as
STAPPA-ALAPCO (www.4cleanair.org). Representatives of the National Paint and
Coatings Association (NPCA) and other industry organizations are campaigning
against adoption of these more stringent limits. I am not aware of the progress
on this alliance or the industry opposition, so you will need to do your own research
on this one.
