3)Means of low-level alarm/notification A water level transmitter provides notification and control through an existing PLC (programmable logic controller) when a targeted low or high water level is reached in the tank. When the low set-point is reached,the pumps turn on; when the high set-point is reached, the pumps turn off. This automated system also sends an audio alarm through BHS handheld radios, insuring that a Systems Operator is notified in the unlikely event of abnormally low levels of water in the tank. 4)Percentage of the water supply used daily and bow it is replenished Currently, on an average day, BUS uses between 18-20,000 gallons of domestic/potable water, or a little under 10%of the combined total capacity of the two cells. This allows BHS to wait out a 3-5 day turbidity event in the water supply source, while at the same time meeting the required demand of the Lodge Sprinkler system. See#3 above for details regarding replenishing water in the tanks. 5) Refill method capable of keeping the tank full enough to meet the needed fire protection water The proposed method of ensuring enough water will be available to meet the peak load demand of the fire sprinkler system is a tank/piping design that automatically retains 92,363 gallons of water in Cell#2(the cell that is connected directly to the Lodge Fire Sprinkler System) before water can be drawn for anything else. See#3 above for details regarding refill method. 6) Any other means that supports Warren's decision to determine that this would be a reliable water source Breitenbush Hot Springs has a Community Water System Charter that reads as follows: The first priority of the Breitenbush Community Water System is to provide safe drinking water to our guests and resident community. We do this by complying with state and federal guidelines as defined by the EPA and enforced through Oregon Health Authority, DHS-Drinking Water Program. To protect human health and safety, the Breitenbush Community Water System is also committed to ancillary fire protection when there is fire danger. The Breitenbush Community Water System is comprised of a treatment facility and a distribution network with approximately 2 miles of watermain, 37 watermain valves, and a 17,000 gallon, in-ground storage facility. The Breitenbush Systems Team maintains the potable water treatment and distribution system within the 154.5 acre Breitenbush campus. It is important to consider that, because of our remote location, BHS provides all of its own utilities, including water for domestic use and fife suppression. The proposed reservoir, with capacity for 184,726 gallons,will contain the largest single body of sequestered water on the property, or anywhere dose by, for that matter. Because of the
