1.0 Introduction

The Government of Canada is committed to providing safe, clean drinking water in all First Nations communities, and to ensuring that wastewater services in all First Nations communities meet acceptable effluent quality standards. As part of this commitment, the Government announced the First Nations Water and Wastewater Action Plan (FNWWAP). The plan funds the construction and renovation of water and wastewater facilities, operator training, and public health activities related to water and wastewater on reserves. It also provided for a national, independent assessment – The National Assessment of First Nations Water and Wastewater Systems – which will inform the Government's future, long-term investment strategy. This assessment was also recommended by the Senate Standing Committee on Aboriginal Peoples.

The purpose of the assessment is to define current deficiencies and operational needs, as well as long-term infrastructure development strategies and needs for each community on a sustainable basis. The objectives of this assessment are to:

Identify critical upgrades required for existing public systems to meet INAC'S Level of Service Standards, the Protocol for Safe Drinking Water in First Nations Communities, the Draft Interim Protocol for Wastewater Treatment and Disposal in First Nations Communities, and applicable provincial regulations, codes and standards.
Complete the Annual Inspection, Risk Assessment and Asset Condition Reporting Systems (ACRS) assessment for water and wastewater assets.
Conduct an overall community serviceability assessment, considering private on-site, communal and central systems, or combination thereof.
Prepare Class "D" cost estimates for each of the communities visited. This is a preliminary estimate, based on available site information, indicating the approximate magnitude of cost of the recommended actions, which may be used in developing long-term capital plans and for preliminary discussion of proposed capital projects.

This assessment involved collecting background data and information about each community, undertaking a site visit, and preparing individual community reports for each participating First Nation. The assessment was conducted for each of the eight regions. This report summarizes the findings for the Saskatchewan region.

1.1 Site Visits

Site visits in the Saskatchewan region were undertaken by personnel from Neegan Burnside Ltd. and sub-consultants, R.J. Burnside & Associates Limited and KGS Group during September and October of 2009 and May, June, July and August of 2010. Each visit included at least two team members. In addition to the consultant staff, additional participants including the Circuit Rider Trainer (CRT), INAC Representative, Environmental Health Officer (EHO) from Health Canada and Tribal Council Representatives were invited to attend the site visits. The additional participants that were able to attend are identified in each community report.

After confirming the number and type of systems that the First Nation uses to provide water and wastewater services to the community, and after considering the community's current and future population and servicing needs, an assessment was carried out of the communal water and wastewater systems, and 5% of the individual systems.

1.2 Reporting

Individual community reports have been prepared for each First Nation. In cases where the First Nation consists of multiple communities, each located in a geographically distinct area, a separate report was prepared for each community. In the Saskatchewan Region, there was 100% participation from the 69 First Nations with on-reserve water and wastewater infrastructure, which resulted in the preparation of 86 individual community reports. A report was not submitted for one First Nation that did not have any members living on-reserve and had no water or wastewater assets. Figure 1.1 indicates the location of each First Nation visited as a part of this study.

The reports include an assessment of existing communal systems and existing individual systems, identification of needs to meet Departmental, Federal and Provincial protocols and guidelines, and an assessment of existing servicing of the community along with projections of population and flows for future servicing for the 10 year period. Each report also includes the projected cost of the recommendations to meet departmental protocol, federal and provincial guidelines, regulations, and standards, an evaluation of servicing alternatives, and the life-cycle cost of each alternative.

An annual water inspection, risk evaluation and ACRS inspection was completed for each system and are included in the Appendices of each report.

**Figure 1.1 - Saskatchewan Region First Nations Visited**

2.0 Regional Overview

The Saskatchewan region includes 69 First Nations with on-reserve water and wastewater infrastructure. There are 103 water systems (94 First Nations and 9 Municipal Type Agreements), and 88 wastewater systems (83 First Nations and five Municipal Type Agreements).

A water or wastewater system considered a First Nation system, consists of INAC-funded assets, and serves five or more residences or community buildings. A Municipal Type Agreement (MTA), on the other hand, is when First Nations are supplied with treated water from or send their wastewater to a nearby municipality or neighbouring First Nation or corporate entity as outlined in a formal agreement between the two parties.

In Saskatchewan, the First Nation community population ranges from 17 to 5,482 people, and household sizes range from 1.9 to 10.0 people per unit (ppu). The total number of homes is 14,248, and the average household size is 5.0 ppu.

2.1 Water Servicing

There are a total of 103 water systems serving 68 First Nations. One First Nation is serviced solely by individual wells. For water treatment, the 103 water systems include:

9 systems that receive their water supply through a Municipal Type Agreement (MTA)
70 groundwater systems
seven groundwater under the direct influence of surface water (GUDI) systems
17 surface water systems.

For water distribution, the 103 systems include:

4 distribution systems that are maintained through a Municipal Type Agreement (MTA)
99 distribution systems that are maintained by the First Nation.

The following is a summary of the level of service being provided to the homes within the Saskatchewan region:

74% of the homes (10,523) are piped
21% of the homes (3,028) are on truck delivery
5% of the homes (652) are serviced by individual wells
<1% of the homes (45) were reported to have no water service.

Table 2.1, below, provides an overview of the water systems by system classification, source type, treatment type and storage type. In general, the treatment system classification reflects the complexity of the treatment process and the distribution classification reflects the population of the community being serviced. Treatment systems labeled "Small System" and "None" typically represent systems with either disinfection only or no treatment.

2.2 Wastewater Servicing

There are a total of 88 wastewater systems serving 67 First Nations. The remaining two First Nations are serviced solely by individual septic systems. For wastewater treatment, the 88 systems include:

5 wastewater systems are provided through a Municipal Type Agreement (MTA)
83 First Nation wastewater treatment systems using either facultative or aerated lagoons.

For wastewater collection, the 88 systems include:

3 wastewater collection systems that are maintained through a Municipal Type Agreement (MTA)
85 wastewater collection systems that are maintained by the First Nation.

The following is a summary of the level of service being provided to the homes within the Saskatchewan region:

50% of the homes (7,002) are piped
7% of the homes (1,060) are on truck haul
43% of the homes (6,142) are serviced by individual septics with tile fields or "shoot-out" systems
<1% of the homes (44) are reported to have no service.

The homes without service were split between 12 different communities.

The following table provides an overview of the wastewater systems by system classification and treatment type:

3.0 Preliminary Results and Trends

3.1 Per Capita Consumption and Plant Capacity

For 103 of the communal water systems, the average per capita demand ranges from 30 L/p/d to 986 L/p/d, with an average per capita demand of approximately 280 L/p/d.

For the systems without flow data, an average per capita flow rate ranging from 225 L/p/d to 325 L/p/d for piped servicing and 90 L/p/d for truck haul was used to evaluate the water systems.

The distribution of per capita flow is outlined in Table 3.1.

Table 3.1 - Range of Per Capita Water Usage Rates
	No. of systems 2009
Less than 250 L/c/d	42
250 L/c/d to 375 L/c/d	46
Greater than 375 L/c/d	15

Historical flow data for wastewater was not available for most of the sewage systems. Therefore, to evaluate the ability of the existing infrastructure to meet the current and projected needs, an average daily flow was calculated based on the actual or assumed per capita water consumption, plus an infiltration allowance of 90 L/c/d for piped servicing.

The following summarizes the plant capacity for the water and wastewater systems:

over capacity: the existing system is unable to meet the current needs
at capacity: the existing system is able to meet the current needs
available capacity: the existing system has sufficient capacity to meet more than the current needs
not enough data: insufficient data available to determine the actual system capacity.

The data shows that 45 water systems and 33 wastewater systems are operating at or beyond their estimated capacities. The per capita demand for the plants identified as over capacity was within typical values for the region, according to available records.

3.2 Distribution and Collection

The household size for the 69 First Nations ranges from 1.9 to 10.0 people per unit (ppu), with an average of 5.0 ppu. The total number of piped connections in the region is 10,523 for water and 7,002 for wastewater. The average length per connection of watermain in the region is 72 m. The average length per connection of sewermain in the region is 43 m.

As shown in the table and figures below, there is no real correlation between the size of the community and the length of pipe per connection. The length of watermain per connection is much greater than the length of sanitary main per connection. However, this difference is because some communities provide piped water service only through small diameter, low-pressure lines and, as such, the homes are farther apart to allow for the installation of private sewage systems.

It should also be noted that, in some cases, the data provided for watermain includes low-pressure lines, dedicated transmission main lengths (with no service connections), and non-distribution mains (i.e. intake pipes, raw water pipes). As a result, the average length per connection is inflated, particularly for smaller communities where the additional pipe length is spread over a smaller number of connections.

The table below indicates the number of water and wastewater systems that have pipe lengths above and below 30 m/connection. It should be noted that this information was not available for all of the systems.

Table 3.2 - Average Water Distribution and Wastewater Collection Pipe Lengths
	Watermain	Sewer
Average m/connection	72	43
No. of systems with pipe lengths above 30 m/connection	85	70
No. of systems with pipe lengths below 30 m/connection	7	11

**Figure 3.2 - Water Distribution - Average Pipe Length per Connection**

**Figure 3.3 - Wastewater Collection: Average Pipe Length per Connection**

3.3 Water Risk Evaluation

A risk assessment has been completed for each water system according to the INAC Risk Level Evaluation Guidelines. Each facility is ranked in risk according to the following categories: Water Source, Design, Operation (and Maintenance), Reporting and Operators and the risk levels of all five categories are then used to determine the overall risk for the system.

Each of the five risk categories, as well as the overall risk level of the entire system, is ranked numerically from 1 to 10. Low, medium and high risks are defined as follows:

Low Risk (1.0 to 4.0): These are systems that operate with minor deficiencies. Low-risk systems usually meet the water quality parameters that are specified by the appropriate Canadian Guidelines for drinking water (in particular, the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality (GCDWQ)).
Medium Risk (4.1 to 7.0): These are systems with deficiencies, which— individually or combined— pose a medium risk to the quality of water and to human health. These systems do not generally require immediate action, but the deficiencies should be corrected to avoid future problems.
High Risk (7.1 to 10.0): These are systems with major deficiencies, which— individually or combined— pose a high risk to the quality of water. These deficiencies may lead to potential health and safety or environmental concerns. They could also result in water quality advisories against drinking the water (such as, but not limited to, boil water advisories), repetitive non-compliance with guidelines, and inadequate water supplies. Once systems are classified under this category, regions and First Nations must take immediate corrective action to minimize or eliminate deficiencies.

Regional Risk Summary:

Of the 103 water systems inspected:

27 are categorized as high overall risk
47 are categorized as medium overall risk
29 are categorized as low overall risk.

The table in Appendix E.1 summarizes the correlation between the component risk and the overall risk. In general, Municipal Type Agreement systems have the lowest risk, followed by groundwater systems, then surface water systems, and, finally, groundwater under the direct influence of surface water (GUDI) systems.

Figure 3.4 provides a geographical representation of the final risk for the water systems that were inspected.

**Figure 3.4 - Saskatchewan Water System Risk**

3.3.1 Overall System Risk by Source

The following table summarizes the overall system risk by water source. 57% of the GUDI systems, 27% of groundwater systems, and 24% of surface water systems are high-risk systems. None of the Municipal Type Agreement systems are classified as high risk. Generally, Municipal Type Agreement systems are assumed to have low-risk water supplies because the municipalities operate their systems in compliance with provincial legislation. For the Saskatchewan region, however, there are a number of Municipal Type Agreement water supplies where the treated water does not meet the GCDWQ, which resulted in medium-risk rankings for these systems.

Table 3.3 - Summary of Overall Risk Levels by Water Source
Overall Risk Level	Groundwater	GUDI	SurfaceWater	MTA	Total
High	19	4	4	0	27
Medium	31	2	11	3	47
Low	20	1	2	6	29
Total	70	7	17	9	103

3.3.2 Overall System Risk by Treatment Classification

The following table summarizes the overall system risk by the classification level of the treatment system. System classification is based on a number of factors. There is no clear pattern between the system classification level and the overall system risk.

Table 3.4 - Summary of Overall Risk Levels by Treatment System Classification
Overall Risk Level	None	Small System	Level I	Level II	MTA	Total
High	2	3	14	8	0	27
Medium	0	1	25	18	3	47
Low	0	4	9	10	6	29
Total	2	8	48	36	9	103

Text Description of figure 3.5 - Risk Profile Based on Water Treatment System Classification

This graph illustrates the risk profile of water treatment systems in First Nations communities in Saskatchewan by the treatment system classification.

None

The mean overall risk score for systems classified as "None" is 8.0.
100 percent of the systems classified as "None" have a high overall risk.

Small Systems

The mean overall final risk score for Small Systems is 5.09.
50 percent of the Small Systems have a low overall risk. 12 percent of the Small Systems have a medium overall risk. 38 percent of the Small Systems have a high overall risk.

Level I Systems

The mean overall final risk score for Level I Systems is 5.84.
19 percent of the Level I Systems have a low overall risk. 52 percent of the Level I Systems have a medium overall risk. 29 percent of the Level I Systems have a high overall risk.

Level II Systems

The mean overall risk for Level II Systems is 5.30.
28 percent of the Level II Systems have a low overall risk. 50 percent of the Level II Systems have a medium overall risk. 22 percent of the Level II Systems have a high overall risk.

MTA Systems

The mean overall risk for MTA (Municipal Type Agreement) Systems is 3.49.
67 percent of the MTA (Municipal Type Agreement) Systems have a low overall risk. 33 percent of the MTA (Municipal Type Agreement) Systems have a medium overall risk.

3.3.3 Overall Risk by Number of Connections

The majority of systems serving more than 100 connections tend to have a medium overall risk, while the systems serving less than 100 connections are fairly evenly distributed between all three risk categories (i.e. high, medium and low).

3.3.4 Component Risks: Water

The overall risk is comprised of five component risks: water source, design, operation, reporting and operator. Each of these component risk factors is discussed in the following sections.

Figure 3.6 - Water: Risk Profile Based on Risk Components

Text Description of figure 3.6 - Water: Risk Profile Based on Risk Components

This graph illustrates the mean risk score associated with each type of risk component for all water systems in First Nations communities in Saskatchewan.

The risk associated with the water source has a mean score of 6.6.
The risk associated with the design has a mean score of 5.9.
The risk associated with the operation has a mean score of 5.9.
The risk associated with the reporting has a mean score of 6.3.
The risk associated with the operator has a mean score of 1.5.

	Source	Design	Operation	Reporting	Operator
Risk	6.6	5.9	5.9	6.3	1.5
Minimum	1.0	1.0	1.0	1.0	1.0
Maximum	10.0	10.0	10.0	10.0	10.0
Std. Dev.	2.3	2.5	3.0	3.2	1.5

3.3.5 Component Risk - Water: Source

The risk associated with the water source has a mean score of 6.6. The mean source risk score by type of source is:

groundwater at 6.3
groundwater under the direct influence of surface water (GUDI) at 9.3
surface water at 8.8
Municipal Type Agreement (MTA) at 2.2.

The data indicates that systems that rely on GUDI or surface water typically have a higher component risk score than systems that rely on groundwater. The risk formula automatically assigns a higher base risk to these types of systems.

The following figure identifies drivers that contribute to source risk scores.

3.3.6 Component Risk - Water: Design

The risk associated with the design has a mean score of 5.9. The mean design risk score by type of source is:

groundwater at 5.7
groundwater under the direct influence of surface water (GUDI) at 7.0
surface water at 6.9
Municipal Type Agreement (MTA) at 4.2.

The higher design risk associated with GUDI sources is likely because the original water source was considered to be groundwater and as a result, the only treatment required was disinfection. The level of treatment required for a GUDI source has been upgraded to be equivalent to surface water. Five of the GUDI systems are high risk, one is medium risk, and one is low risk.

As part of the multi-barrier approach to water treatment, chlorination is now required for all water systems. Typically, a groundwater system has an increased design risk if there is no disinfection system in place, or if there is insufficient contact time to ensure that the chlorination process is adequate.

The higher risk for surface water sources and Municipal Type Agreements is typically because the treated water system or distribution system exceeds the GCDWQ for disinfection by-products.

There are several key drivers that have a significant impact on the region's design risk scores, including:

failure to meet the GCDWQ
exceeding the GCDWQ Maximum Acceptable Concentration (MAC) for bacteria
no disinfection system in place or a disinfection system that is not being used
no appropriate treatment in place to meet INAC's Protocol requirements
problems with system reliability
systems approaching or exceeding design capacity

It should be noted that the design risk drivers in red result in the entire water system being given a high risk score, regardless of all of the other component risk scores.

3.3.7 Component Risk - Water: Operation

The risk associated with operation has a mean score of 5.9. The mean operation risk score by type of source is:

groundwater at 5.9
groundwater under the direct influence of surface water (GUDI) at 7.3
surface water at 6.1
Municipal Type Agreements (MTA) at 4.0.

There are several key drivers that have a significant impact on the region's operation risk scores, including:

failure to meet the GCDWQ
exceeding the GCDWQ Maximum Acceptable Concentration (MAC) for bacteria
maintenance logs being inadequately maintained
lack of general system maintenance
Emergency Response Plan not in place
Operations & Maintenance manual not available or not in use.

**Figure 3.9 - Operations Risk Drivers**

**Figure 3.10 - Summary of Findings: Water Systems Operational Practices**

One or more major components are not working for 37% of the systems. Although the operators for approximately 94% of systems practice line flushing and 89% flush hydrants, only 41% regularly swab watermains. Reservoir cleaning is completed for 76% of the systems and fire pump testing for 81% of the systems. Records of system maintenance and repairs were available for 64% of the systems.

3.3.8 Component Risk - Water: Reporting

The risk associated with reporting has a mean score of 6.3. The mean reporting risk score by type of source is:

groundwater at 6.4
groundwater under the direct influence of surface water (GUDI) at 7.0
surface water at 5.5
Municipal Type Agreement (MTA) at 6.0.

For the majority of systems (71%), poor record keeping and reporting are the main drivers for the reporting risk. For water systems with a Supervisory Data Control Acquisition system, some operators are successfully decreasing risk by calibrating instruments to ensure that the information being recorded is accurate.

An important consideration is that the systems were evaluated based on the requirements for monitoring and reporting as set out in INAC's Protocol. Generally, system monitoring and reporting do not meet these requirements. Operator awareness and training could have a significant impact on these risk scores.

**Figure 3.11 - Reporting Risk Drivers**

3.3.9 Component Risk - Water: Operator

The risk associated with the operator has a mean score of 1.5. Of the five risk components, this has the lowest mean score and is one of the components that is significantly reducing water-system risk in the Saskatchewan region.

The majority of the operators in the Saskatchewan region are certified to the appropriate level. However, 1 system does not have a primary operator, and 11 treatment systems and 13 distribution systems do not have a back-up operator. The mean operator risk score by type of source is:

groundwater at 1.4
groundwater under the influence of surface water (GUDI) at 2.1
surface water at 1.6
Municipal Type Agreement (MTA) at 1.0.

The extent to which existing systems have fully certified primary and backup operators is presented in Table 3.5. Of the 92 systems that require a certified operator for the water treatment system, 20% did not have a fully certified primary operator and 71% did not have a fully certified backup operator. Of the 97 systems that require a certified operator for the distribution system, 11% did not have a fully certified primary operator and 57% did not have a fully certified backup operator.

**Table 3.5 - Water: Operator Status for the Saskatchewan Region**
	Treatment	Distribution	Treatment	Distribution
	Primary Operator		Backup Operator
No. of Systems Currently Without an Operator	1	1	11	13
No. of Systems with Operator with No Certification	8	10	39	40
No. of Systems with Operator Certified but not to the Required Level of the System	9	0	15	2
No. of Systems with Operator with Adequate Certification	74	86	27	42
No. of Systems Not Requiring Operators with Certification	11	6	11	6
Total No. of Systems	103	103	103	103

Those factors which frequently contribute to increased operator risk are identified in Figure 3.12. A lack of certification, lack of training and the lack of primary or backup operator are common drivers that increase operator risk.

3.4 Wastewater Risk Evaluation

A risk assessment was completed for each wastewater system according to INAC's Risk Level Evaluation Guidelines. The risk of each facility is ranked according to the following categories: effluent receiver, design, operation, reporting and operators. The risk levels of all five categories are used to determine the overall risk for the system. The overall risk score is a weighted average of the component risk scores.

Each of the five risk categories, as well as the overall risk level of the entire system, is ranked numerically from 1 to 10. A risk ranking of 1.0 to 4.0 represents a low risk, a risk ranking of 4.1 to 7.0 represents a medium risk, and a risk of 7.1 to 10.0 represents a high risk.

Of the 88 wastewater systems inspected:

4 are categorized as high overall risk
44 are categorized as medium overall risk
40 systems are categorized as low risk.

All of the wastewater Municipal Type Agreement systems are low risk.

Appendix E.2 provides a table that summarizes the correlation between component risk and overall risk.

Figure 3.13 provides a geographical representation of the final risk for the wastewater systems that were inspected.

3.4.1 Overall System Risk by Treatment Classification

Figure 3.14 demonstrates the correlation between the overall system risk and the classification level of the treatment system. For Municipal Type Agreements, it is assumed that the municipality is operating their system in accordance with provincial legislation, which results in a low-risk rating.

**Figure 3.13 - Saskatchewan Wastewater System Risk**

Figure 3.14 - Risk Profile Based on Wastewater Treatment System Classification

Text Description of figure 3.14 - Risk Profile Based on Wastewater Treatment System Classification

This graph illustrates the relationship between the mean overall system risk and the classification level of the treatment system for wastewater systems in First Nations communities in Saskatchewan.

Level I Systems

The mean overall risk for Level I Systems is 4.53.
5 percent of the Level I systems have a high overall risk score.
53 percent of the Level I systems have a medium overall risk score.
42 percent of the Level I systems have a low overall risk score.

MTA (Municipal Type Agreement) Systems

The mean overall risk for MTA (Municipal Type Agreement) Systems is 2.2.
100 percent of MTA (Municipal Type Agreement) Systems have a low final risk score.

3.4.2 Overall System Risk by Number of Connections

For the Saskatchewan region, there is no clear pattern between the overall system risk and the number of connections.

3.4.3 Component Risks: Wastewater

The overall risk is comprised of five component risks: effluent receiver, design, operation, reporting and operators. Each of these component risk factors is discussed below.

Figure 3.15 - Wastewater: Risk Profile Based on Risk Components

Text Description of figure 3.15 - Wastewater: Risk Profile Based on Risk Components

This graph illustrates the risk associated with each type of risk component for all wastewater systems in First Nations communities in Saskatchewan.

The graph shows the mean risk score for wastewater systems by the type of risk component. There are five risk components: effluent; design; operation; reporting; and operator.

The risk associated with the effluent has a mean score of 3.9.
The risk associated with the design has a mean score of 4.4.
The risk associated with the operation has a mean score of 5.8.
The risk associated with the reporting has a mean score of 8.0.
The risk associated with the operator has a mean score of 1.7.

	Effluent	Design	Operation	Reporting	Operator
Risk	3.9	4.4	5.8	8.0	1.7
Minimum	1.0	1.0	1.0	1.0	1.0
Maximum	10.0	10.0	10.0	10.0	10.0
Std. Dev.	2.4	2.2	2.5	3.5	1.8

3.4.4 Component Risk - Wastewater: Effluent Receiver

The effluent receiver has a mean risk score of 3.9, and there is a fairly even distribution of the risk scores. The key drivers of this risk score are:

the proximity of the receiving environment to species at risk
the extent to which the receiver is required for other human uses, such as fishing, recreation or drinking water.

3.4.5 Component Risk - Wastewater: Design

The risk associated with the design has a mean score of 4.4. A total of 55 of the systems have a low-risk design score. Half of the overall high-risk systems also have a high design risk.

There are several key drivers of the design risk scores in the region, including:

poor system reliability
system lacks the flexibility required to meet future growth
system exceeds 75% of the design capacity
inappropriate waste management.

3.4.6 Component Risk - Wastewater: Operation

The risk associated with the operation has a mean score of 5.8. Most of the wastewater systems have a medium- or a high-risk score. This is identified as an area of opportunity for increased risk mitigation efforts.

There are several key drivers of increased operation risk in the region, including:

failure to meet Federal Effluent Guidelines
inadequate maintenance logs
Emergency Response Plans not in place or not being used
Operation & Maintenance manuals not available or not in use.

**Figure 3.18 - Operation Risk Drivers**

3.4.7 Component Risk - Wastewater: Reporting

The risk associated with reporting has a mean score of 8.0. The reporting risk component assesses whether operators maintain effluent-testing and system-monitoring records. Poor record keeping is a significant factor in raising the overall risk ranking for many communities in this region. For reporting, 20 systems have a low-risk score, 1 system has a medium-risk score, and 67 systems have a high-risk score.

**Figure 3.19 - Reporting Risk Drivers**

3.4.8 Component Risk - Wastewater: Operator

The risk associated with the operator has a mean score of 1.7. Operator risk is determined by whether or not the operators have adequate certification. The operator risk is the lowest mean component score for the region, which is because there are a high number of certified operators. There is only one system that is high risk because the primary operator does not have adequate certification and there is no backup operator.

The extent to which existing wastewater systems have fully certified primary and backup operators is presented in Table 3.6. Of the 83 systems which require a certified operator for the wastewater treatment system, 11% did not have a fully certified primary operator and 64% did not have a fully certified backup operator. Of the 84 systems which require a certified operator for the collection system, 12% did not have a fully certified primary operator and 64% did not have a fully certified backup operator.

**Table 3.6 - Wastewater: Operator Status for Saskatchewan Region**
	Treatment	Collection	Treatment	Collection
	Primary Operator		Backup Operator
No. of Systems Currently Without an Operator	0	0	10	10
No. of Systems with Operator with No Certification	11	10	42	41
No. of Systems with Operator Certified but not to the Required Level of the System	0	0	1	4
No. of Systems with Operator with Adequate Certification	72	74	30	29
No. of Systems Not Requiring Operators with Certification	5	4	5	4
Total No. of Systems	88	88	88	88

Those factors which frequently contribute to increased wastewater operator risk are identified in Figure 3.20. A lack of certification, lack of training and the lack of primary or backup operator are common drivers that increase operator risk.

**Figure 3.20 - Operators Risk Drivers**

3.5 Plans

Information was collected regarding the availability of various documents, including Source Water Protection Plans (SWPP), Maintenance Management Plans (MMP), operation and maintenance manuals and Emergency Response Plans (ERP). The following tables provide a summary of the percentages of First Nations that have plans in place.

**Table 3.7 - Plans Summary: Water**
Source	Percentage of Water Systems that have a (an)...
Source	Source Water Protection Plan	Maintenance Management Plan	Emergency Response Plan
Groundwater	9%	51%	43%
Groundwater GUDI	0%	43%	14%
MTA	N/A	33%	33%
Surface Water	6%	71%	41%
Overall	7%	52%	40%

**Table 3.8 - Plans Summary: Wastewater**
Percentage of Wastewater Systems that have a (an)…
Maintenance Management Plan	Emergency Response Plan
40%	33%

3.5.1 Source Water Protection Plan

Source water protection planning is one component in a multi-barrier approach to providing safe drinking water. Source Water Protection Plans seek to identify threats to the water source. They also establish policies and practices to prevent contamination of the water source, and to ensure that the water service provider is equipped to take corrective action in the event of a contamination. Source water protection is appropriate for both groundwater and surface water sources.

Only 7% of the systems inspected reported that they had completed a Source Water Protection Plan.

3.5.2 Maintenance Management Plans

Maintenance Management Plans are intended to improve the effectiveness of maintenance activities. They plan, schedule, and document preventative maintenance activities, and they document unscheduled maintenance. The plans represent a change from reactive to proactive thinking, and— when executed properly— they optimize maintenance spending, minimize service disruption and extend asset life.

Approximately 52% of the water systems and 40% of the wastewater systems indicated that they have a Maintenance Management Plan in place.

3.5.3 Emergency Response Plans

Emergency Response Plans are intended to be a quick reference to assist operators and other stakeholders in managing and in responding to emergency situations. Emergency Response Plans should be in place for both water and wastewater systems. They include key contact information for those who should be notified and who may be of assistance in case of emergency (agencies, contractors, suppliers, etc.), and they provide standard communication and response protocols. Emergency Response Plans identify recommended corrective actions for "foreseeable" emergencies, as well as methodologies for addressing unforeseen situations. They are essentially the last potential "barrier" in a multi-barrier approach to protecting the drinking water supply and the natural environment, and they provide the last opportunity to mitigate damages.

40% of the water systems and 33% of the wastewater systems have an Emergency Response Plan in place.

4.0 Cost Analysis

4.1 Upgrade to Meet INAC's Protocols: Water

In 2006, INAC began to develop a series of Protocol documents for centralised and decentralised water and wastewater systems in First Nations communities. The Protocols contain standards for the design, construction, operation, maintenance, and monitoring of these systems.

One of the objectives of this study was to review the existing water and wastewater infrastructure, and to identify the potential upgrade costs to meet INAC's Protocol, as well as federal and provincial guidelines, standards, and regulations. The total estimated construction cost for water system upgrades to meet the INAC Protocol is $137 million.

Table 4.1 provides a breakdown of the estimated total capital costs identified. A separate line item is included for engineering and contigency. Figure 4.1 provides a comparison graph of each of the categories. Note that treatment alone comprises over half of the estimated costs.

There are 34 water systems that may potentially have groundwater under the influence of surface water (GUDI) water supplies. The upgrade costs for these systems have been estimated under the assumption that they will prove to be secure groundwater supplies, but further studies are recommended to confirm this assumption.

If the GUDI studies indicate that these supplies should be considered to be surface water rather than groundwater, then additional upgrades will be required to meet INAC's Protocols. It is estimated that, depending on system capacity and site indices, an additional $1.0 to $2.5 million will be required for each system that needs to be upgraded to surface water treatment.

4.2 Upgrade to Meet INAC's Protocol: Wastewater

The total construction cost estimate for the wastewater system upgrades that will be required for systems to meet INAC's Protocol is $52 million. Below is a list of the specific needs, the number of systems impacted by the upgrades, and the total cost of each need.

Increasing capacity, extending the collection system, and providing standby power represent about 78% of the upgrade costs. 20 systems need upgrades to increase capacity, but they are high-cost upgrades. Providing standby power is a widespread necessity, but a low-cost need.

4.4 Asset Condition and Reporting System Needs

ACRS (Asset Condition and Reporting System) inspections were completed for all water and wastewater related assets. For the purposes of this assessment, ACRS needs were limited to required repairs of existing facilities, and did not include any upgrade costs, in order to avoid duplication with the Upgrade to Protocol needs identified. The following two tables (Tables 4.10 and 4.11) provide a summary of the required operation & maintenance repairs broken down by the type of asset for both water and wastewater systems.

4.5 Community Servicing

An analysis was completed to evaluate future servicing alternatives for a 10-year design period. The analysis considers a variety of alternatives, including expanding existing systems, developing new systems, establishing local Municipal Type Agreements (if applicable), and using individual systems.

A theoretical operation and maintenance cost was developed for each alternative, along with a 30-year life-cycle cost. The cost of the upgrades that are necessary for systems to meet INAC's Protocol is included in the new servicing cost, if appropriate (i.e. for new servicing alternatives that include continued use of the existing system).

The following table summarizes the capital cost and the total estimated operation & maintenance cost of the recommended servicing alternatives.

**Table 4.12 - Future Servicing Costs**
	Water	Wastewater	Water	Wastewater
	Total Estimated Cost		Cost Per Connection
Future Servicing Cost	$400,000,000	$280,000,000	$18,600	$13,100
Annual O&M to service future growth	$37,500,000	$21,200,000	$1,700	$1,000

The existing servicing in the Saskatchewan region includes piped and trucked connections and individual servicing. Most communities include a core area of greater density around community buildings, typically serviced by piped water with fire protection and gravity sewer lines, and rural lots, serviced by low pressure water lines, trucked water delivery, or individual wells for water, and trucked sewage haul or private septic systems for wastewater.

In evaluating future servicing options, the location of new homes in core areas with piped servicing, or rural areas with low pressure water or individual servicing, was considered. In most cases piped water and sewer lines provided the most economical option as well as a higher level of service. This assumes that future homes would be constructed in a more compact subdivision type setting adjacent to the existing serviced area. In cases where residents choose to build homes in outlying areas, individual or truck haul servicing may be more appropriate.

Modification of the servicing to existing homes was not considered in the future servicing evaluation, except in cases where the existing servicing methods posed a health risk or had serious operational concerns. In some areas of the region existing individual wells have concentrations of naturally-occurring metals such as lead, arsenic, or uranium, at levels above the federal limits. Other private wells are installed without adequate casing or wellhead protection and are susceptible to bacteriological contamination from the surface. In some cases it may be possible to replace existing wells with cisterns for trucked delivery or connect to low pressure water lines.

Private septic systems are used extensively throughout the region, and in many cases these systems pose operational concerns because of poor soil conditions or improper installation techniques. Although the region has had a longstanding, cost-sharing incentive program to convert individual surface discharge septic systems (shoot-outs) to sub-surface disposal systems, such as tile fields, mounds, and/or seepage pits, many septic systems continue to rely upon surface discharge systems.

Regional cost-sharing incentives have essentially eliminated the use of single-family lagoon systems, but additional efforts will be required to reduce the current environmental and health hazards that are associated with surface discharge or "sewage spray jet" systems. In most cases, it should be possible to replace surface discharge systems with sub-surface disposal facilities constructed specifically for the conditions or with truck haul service. Low-pressure sewer lines may be another viable solution in some locations, although they are not used extensively in the region.

It is assumed that houses without service in the Saskatchewan region are not viable for renovation and will need to be replaced. Site inspections confirmed that there are a total of 44 homes without wastewater services and 45 homes without any form of water service. The cost for the required replacement of these housing units has not been carried as part of this study.

5.0 Regional Summary

All 69 First Nations in the Saskatchewan Region with water and wastewater infrastructure were visited during the completion of this project. 9 of the First Nations, or 9%, are serviced by Municipal Type Agreements with a neighbouring municipality for water, while 5 communities are serviced by Municipal Type Agreements for wastewater. The majority of First Nations have a core area serviced with piped distribution with the outlying areas serviced by individual wells and septic systems or by truck haul. Only one First Nation is serviced entirely by individual wells, and two First Nations are serviced entirely by individual septic systems.

According to INAC, a "Public System" serves five or more houses or community buildings. In Saskatchewan, however, a "Public System" was defined as a system that provides services to three or more houses, which has led to many three-house systems.

In the Saskatchewan region, there are 27 water systems and 4 wastewater systems identified as high risk. Although there are multiple factors that contribute to risk, the analysis suggests that INAC, Health Canada, and Band Councils should give design and operational concerns the most weight, particularly when the concern is related to the protection of public health or to the environment. The high-risk water systems in the region typically require system upgrades or improved operational procedures to meet the GCDWQ.

According to the assessment, INAC, First Nations and Health Canada can reduce risk significantly by ensuring that all water and wastewater systems are designed and constructed in accordance with INAC's Protocols and that they are operated in accordance with best management practices.

A significant concern is that 69% of the water systems have exceeded 75% of their design capacity. Historical standards that promoted the use of 180 L/p/d for the design of piped water systems have, in part, contributed to the water treatment plant capacity problem in the region. Although the Saskatchewan region took the initiative in 2004 to increase the minimum water consumption rates for piped system design to 235 L/p/d through a local Operating Instruction, the rates used for design purposes continue to fall short of actual water consumption data, which is currently averaging 280 L/p/d.

Ammonia in the water supply is a recurring concern, interfering with sodium hypochlorite addition. Use of chlorination or pretreatment with ion exchange or membrane filtration may be an option.

In terms of positive developments, the Saskatchewan region has significantly reduced risk levels through a very aggressive and effective program that facilitates the certification of First Nation water and wastewater operators. This program is supported by an effective regional Circuit Rider program, which provides competent and committed training staff for First Nation operators through the Saskatchewan Water Corporation, and by the Saskatoon, Prince Albert Grand Council and Meadow Lake Tribal Council organizations. That the mean operator risk scores for water and wastewater are so low—1.5 for water and 1.7 for wastewater—reflects the success of these efforts. Risk could also be reduced with the completion of various planning tools, including Source Water Protection Plans, Maintenance Management Plans and Emergency Response Plans. Currently, Source Water Protection Plans are available for only 7% of the regional water systems.

Various individual First Nations commented that current Operation & Maintenance budgets are often insufficient to retain operators, to provide ongoing component replacement, and to perform all of the monitoring and recording requirements. A regional review of current Operation & Maintenance unit costs for water and wastewater infrastructure may be warranted.

The Saskatchewan region relies solely upon lagoon systems for communal wastewater treatment. Many lagoons appear to experience exfiltration. It is not clear whether exfiltration was part of the original design intent, and it may be appropriate to investigate whether this practice has any negative impacts.

Wastewater sampling prior to effluent discharge appears to be another area to address in order to minimize the overall risk significantly. Although some operators do sample, test and record effluent quality prior to discharge, the practice is not consistent for all systems across the region. To address the reporting risk component for wastewater systems, INAC, in conjunction with First Nations, Health Canada, and/or Environment Canada, could develop a protocol for sampling, testing, reporting and monitoring.

In Saskatchewan region, low pressure water lines are used to connect many rural houses. Septic systems are used extensively, but many operational concerns were observed. Individual surface discharge systems pose health and environmental concerns.

Appendix A Glossary of Terms and Acronyms

Aeration (see also lagoon)

The process of bringing air into contact with a liquid (typically water), usually by bubbling air through the liquid, spraying the liquid into the air, allowing the liquid to cascade down a waterfall, or by mechanical agitation. Aeration serves to (1) strip dissolved gases from solution, and/or (2) oxygenate the liquid. (Gowen Environmental)

Aesthetic Objective (AO)

Aesthetic objectives are set for drinking water quality parameters such as colour or odour, where exceeding the objective may make the water less pleasant, but not unsafe. (INAC Protocol for Decentralised Water and Wastewater)

Ammonia (See also: Potable water; Effluent quality requirements)

A pungent colorless gaseous alkaline compound of nitrogen and hydrogen (NH₃) that is very soluble in water and can easily be condensed to a liquid by cold and pressure (Merriam-Webster). Ammonia is used in several areas of water and wastewater treatment, such as pH control. It is also used in conjunction with chlorine to produce potable water. The existence of ammonia in wastewater is common in industrial sectors as a by-product of cleaning agents. This chemical impacts both human and environmental conditions. Treatment of ammonia can be completed in lagoon systems and mechanical plants. (R.M. Technologies)

Arsenic

A metallic element that forms a number of compounds. It is found in nature at low levels, mostly in compounds with oxygen, chlorine, and sulphur; these are called inorganic arsenic compounds. Organic arsenic in plants and animals combines with carbon and hydrogen. Inorganic arsenic is a human poison. Organic arsenic is less harmful. High levels of inorganic arsenic in food or water can be fatal. (Medicinenet.com)

Aquifer (confined)

A layer of soil or rock below the land surface that is saturated with water. There are layers of impermeable material both above and below it, and it is under pressure so that when the aquifer is penetrated by a well, the water will rise above the top of the aquifer. (INAC Protocol for Decentralised Water and Wastewater Systems)

Aquifer (unconfined)

An unconfined aquifer is one whose upper water surface (water table) is at atmospheric pressure, and thus is able to rise and fall. (INAC Protocol for Decentralised Water and Wastewater Systems)

As-built/record drawings

Revised set of drawing submitted by a contractor upon completion of a project or a particular job. They reflect all changes made in the specifications and working drawings during the construction process, and show the exact dimensions, geometry, and location of all elements of the work completed under the contract. Also called as-built drawings or just as-builts.

ACRS Inspection (Asset Condition Reporting System Inspection)

For centralised water and wastewater systems, an ACRS (asset condition reporting system) inspection of the system is to be performed once every three (3) years by a qualified person (consulting engineer, Tribal Council engineer), who is not from the First Nation involved, to assess the condition of the asset, adequacy of maintenance efforts, and need for additional maintenance work. The ACRS inspection report will be discussed with, and submitted to, the First Nation council and the INAC regional office. Inspections will be conducted in accordance with the ACRS Manual, a copy of which can be obtained from the INAC regional office.

Bacteria (plural) bacterium (singular)

Microscopic living organisms usually consisting of a single cell. Bacteria can aid in pollution control by consuming or breaking down organic matter in sewage and/or other water pollutants. Some bacteria may also cause human, animal, and plant health problems. Bacteria are predominantly found in the intestines and feces of humans and animals. The presence of coliform bacteria in water indicates the contamination of water by raw or partially treated sewage. (INAC Protocol for Decentralised Water and Wastewater Systems)

Baffle (concrete and/or curtain)

Vertical/horizontal impermeable barriers in a pond or reservoir. Baffles direct the flow of water into the longest possible path through the reservoir in order to eliminate short-circuiting in the water treatment system. In potable water treatment, short-circuiting can reduce the effectiveness of disinfectants. In effluent treatment, short-circuiting may result in an increase of pollutants at the outlet. Shortcircuiting occurs when water flows directly from the inlet to the outlet across a pond or reservoir. (Layfield)

BOD₅ (Biochemical Oxygen Demand)

The most widely used parameter of organic pollution applied to both wastewater and surface water is the 5-day BOD (BOD₅). This determination involves the measurement of the dissolved oxygen used by microorganisms in the biochemical oxidation of organic matter. BOD test results are used to: determine the approximate quantity of oxygen that will be required to biologically stabilize the organic matter present; to determine the size of waste treatment facilities; to measure the efficiency of some treatment processes; and to determine compliance with wastewater discharge permits. (Metcalf & Eddy)

Capacity (actual vs. design)

Refers to the capacity of the treatment system, with the "design capacity" being the flow rate proposed by the designer or manufacturer. If the system is not operating to design levels, the "actual capacity" could be limited by failing pumps, clogged filters or not meeting the Protocol (i.e. Protocol requires two filter trains such that one could operate while another is being cleaned/repaired and this was previously not explicitly required; therefore, the actual capacity is half of the design capacity).

Chemical feed equipment

All equipment associated with introducing chemicals to the raw water as part of the treatment process including coagulants, coagulant aids, disinfectants, etc.

Chlorine

A disinfectant used in either gas or liquid from gas that is added to water to protect the consumer from bacteria and other micro-organisms. It is widely used because it is inexpensive and easily injected into water. Because of its concentration, a gallon can treat a large amount of water. However, chlorine use does have drawbacks: when chlorine is used as a disinfectant it combines with naturally occurring decaying organic matter to form Trihalomethanes (THMs). (Vital Life Systems)

Chlorination

The application of chlorine to water, sewage or industrial wastes for disinfection (reduction of pathogens) or to oxidize undesirable compounds. (City of Toronto)

Chlorine Residual

The chlorine level in potable water immediately after it has been treated. (Ontario Ministry of the Environment)

Circuit Rider (see also Circuit Rider Training Program)

Under the department's Circuit Rider Trainer Program (CRTP) INAC provides funds to engage circuit riders (third party water and wastewater system experts who provide water and wastewater system operators with on-site, mentoring, training, and emergency assistance). The third-party service providers that provide circuit rider services also provide operators with a 24/7 emergency hotline. (INAC Protocol for Centralised Wastewater Systems in First Nations Communities)

Circuit Rider Training Program

The main vehicle by which most First Nations operators receive the required training to operate their systems. This program provides qualified experts who rotate through a circuit of communities, providing hands-on training for the operators on their own system. Circuit rider trainers also help the First Nations with minor troubles and issues of operation and maintenance of their systems. (INAC Plan of Action)

Cistern

A tank for storing potable water or other liquids, usually placed above the ground. (Bow River Basin Council, cited in Alberta Environment Glossary)

Class "D" Cost Estimates

A preliminary estimate, for each community visited, based on available site information, which indicates the approximate magnitude (+/- 40%) of the cost of the actions recommended in the report, and which may be used in developing long-term capital plans and for a preliminary discussion of proposed capital projects.

Collection piping

Sanitary sewer collecting wastewater from individual buildings and homes, for treatment and disposal at a public facility.

Component risk / component risk factors

The overall risk is determined by five component risks: water source/effluent, design, operation, reporting, and operator.

Conventional Wastewater Treatment

Consists of preliminary processes, primary settling to remove heavy solids and floatable materials, secondary biological aeration to metabolize and flocculate colloidal and dissolved organics, and secondary settling to remove additional solids. Tertiary treatment such as disinfection or filtration to further treat the wastewater depending on the level of treatment required for discharge. Waste sludge drawn from these operations is thickened and processed for ultimate disposal, usually either land application or landfilling. Preliminary treatment processes include coarse screening, medium screening, shredding of solids, flow measuring, pumping, grit removal, and pre-aeration. Chlorination of raw wastewater sometimes is used for odor control and to improve settling characteristics of the solids.

Conventional Water Treatment

Consists of a combination of coagulation (adding chemicals called coagulants), flocculation (particles binding together with coagulants) and sedimentation (settling of particles) to remove a large amount of organic compounds and suspended particles, filtration (water passing through porous media) to remove bacteria protozoa and viruses (slow sand filtration) or suspended particles (rapid sand filtration), and disinfection to ensure all the bacteria protozoa and viruses are removed, and provide safe drinking water.

Cross connections

A cross connection is a link between a possible source of pollution and a potable water supply. A pollutant may enter the potable water system when a) the pressure of the pollution source exceeds the pressure of the potable water source or b) when a sudden loss of pressure occurs in the water system and "backflow" occurs. The flow through a water treatment plant should have no instances of treated water coming into contact with raw or wastewater. Backflow preventers should be tested regularly and any actual physical links should be removed.

Guidelines

Guidelines as referred to in this Assessment include all federal and provincial water and wastewater guidelines for domestic potable water and household sanitary waste. These guidelines include the "Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality" and all its recommended health and aesthetic guidelines for water quality.

Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality (GCDWQ)

Water quality guidelines developed by the Federal-Provincial-Territorial Committee on Drinking Water and have been published by Health Canada since 1968.

Canadian drinking water supplies are generally of excellent quality. However, water in nature is never "pure." It picks up traces of everything it comes into contact with, including minerals, silt, vegetation, fertilizers, and agricultural run-off. While most of these substances are harmless, some may pose a health risk. To address this risk, Health Canada works with the provincial and territorial governments to develop guidelines that set out the maximum acceptable concentrations of these substances in drinking water. These drinking water guidelines are designed to protect the health of the most vulnerable members of society, such as children and the elderly. The guidelines set out the basic parameters that every water system should strive to achieve in order to provide the cleanest, safest and most reliable drinking water possible.

The Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality deal with microbiological, chemical and radiological contaminants. They also address concerns with physical and aesthetic characteristics of water, such as taste and odour. (Health Canada)

Guidelines for Effluent Quality and Wastewater Treatment at Federal Establishments, April 1976

The purpose of these guidelines is to indicate the degree of treatment and effluent quality that will be applicable to all wastewater discharged from existing and proposed Federal installations. Use of these guidelines is intended to promote a consistent wastewater approach towards the cleanup and prevention of water pollution and ensure that the best practicable control technologies used. (Government of Canada)

The Level of Service Standards provide a description of criteria which will be used to establish the level of funding for safe, cost-effective, domestic water supply and wastewater disposal systems for on-reserve housing units and administrative, operative, institutional and recreational buildings. (INAC "Water and Sewage Systems")

Lift Station (also Pumping Station): A point in the sewer system where the wastewater needs to be pumped (lifted) to a higher elevation so that gravity can be used to bring the wastewater to the treatment plant. (Hailey City Hall Public Works)

Line flushing and swabbing (also referred to as watermain swabbing and flushing)

Watermain swabbing entails inserting a soft material shaped like a bullet into the watermain through a fire hydrant. The diameter is slightly larger than the watermain and the bullet (swab) is pushed along the watermain by water pressure. As it passes through the watermain, the swab executes a scouring action on the sediment inside the watermain.

During watermain flushing, high velocity water flowing from hydrants is used to remove loose sediment from watermains. (City of Guelph)

L/p/d

Measurement of daily water usage as Litres per person, per day.

MAC (Maximum acceptable concentration)

In the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality (GCDWQ), Maximum Acceptable Concentrations (MACs) have been established for certain physical, chemical, radiological and microbiological parameters or substances that are known or suspected to cause adverse effects on health. For some parameters, Interim Maximum Acceptable Concentrations (IMACs) are also recommended in the guidelines.

Drinking water that continually has a substance at a greater concentration than the specified MACs will contribute significantly to consumer exposure to the substance and may, in some instances, produce harmful health effects. However, the short-term presence of substances above the MAC levels does not necessarily mean the water constitutes a risk to health. (INAC, National Assessment Summary Report)

Maintenance Management Plan (MMP)

Maintenance management plans apply to both water and wastewater systems. They are intended to improve the effectiveness of maintenance activities and are focused on planning, scheduling, and documenting preventative maintenance activities and on documenting unscheduled maintenance.

Manganese

Manganese is a mineral that naturally occurs in rocks and soil and is a normal constituent of the human diet. In some places, it exists in well water as a naturally occurring groundwater mineral, but may also be present due to underground pollution sources. Manganese may become noticeable in tap water at concentrations greater than 0.05 milligrams per liter (mg/L) of water by imparting a colour, odour, or taste to the water. However, health effects from manganese are not a concern until concentrations are approximately 10 times higher. (Conneticut Dept. of Health)

The term is also used in this report to describe a system where the First Nation is supplied with treated water or wastewater treatment services by another First Nation or other independent body such as a corporate entity such as a Casino etc.

Multi-Barrier Approach

Approach used to ensure that drinking water is safe. In the past, the term ‘multi-barrier' referred only to the barriers involved in the actual treatment of raw water to provide quality drinking water. This approach has now been expanded to include a number of key elements that are an integral part of a drinking water program to ensure delivery of safe, secure supplies of drinking water. Barriers may be physical (eg: filter) or administrative (eg: planning) in nature. (Alberta Environment, Glossary & Alberta's Drinking Water Program)

Operational Plan (OP)

An Operational Plan is the primary instrument for communicating the Community's quality management system (QMS) from the public works departments (water and wastewater) to Chief and Council, and from Council to INAC, Health Canada and the community members.

Phosphorus

A non-metallic element of the nitrogen family that occurs widely especially as phosphates (Merriam-Webster). Phosphorus occurs naturally in rocks, soil, animal waste, plant material, and even the atmosphere. In addition to these natural sources, phosphorus comes from human activities such as agriculture, discharge of industrial and municipal waste, and surface water runoff from residential and urban areas. Nutrients held in soil can be dissolved in water and carried off by leaching, tile drainage or surface runoff.

Phosphorus does not pose a direct threat to human health; it is an essential component of all cells and is present in bones and teeth. It does, however, pose an indirect threat to both aesthetics and to human health by affecting source waters used for drinking and recreation. For example, excessive nutrients can promote the growth of algal blooms, which can contribute to a wide range of water quality problems by affecting the potability, taste, odour, and colour of the water. (Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment)

Piped Distribution System

Typically, the first major stage of treatment encountered by domestic wastewater as it enters a treatment facility. Primary treatment plants generally remove 25 to 35 percent of the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and 45 to 65 percent of the total suspended matter. Also, any process used for the decomposition, stabilization, or disposal of sludges produced by settling. (North American Lake Management Society; cited in Alberta Environment Glossary)

Retrofit

1. To furnish with new or modified parts or equipment not available or considered necessary at the time of manufacture; 2. To install (new or modified parts or equipment) in something previously manufactured or constructed; 3. To adapt to a new purpose or need: modify. (Merriam-Webster)

Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC)

A technology used to treat wastewater classified as mechanical treatment.

Risk (Management Risk Level/Management Risk Score)

Risk is defined in INAC's Management Risk Level Evaluation Guidelines for Water and Wastewater Systems in First Nations Communities (Revised 2010). These guidelines follow the Multi-Barrier Approach for water management. This approach, developed by the Federal-Provincial-Territorial Committee on Drinking Water and the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) Water Quality Task Group, is intended to prevent the presence of water-borne contaminants in drinking water by ensuring effective safeguards are in place at each stage of a drinking water system.

Following that approach, INAC assesses five main components of a system to determine an overall system management risk score:

Source Water (drinking water systems) or Effluent Receiver (wastewater systems)
System Design
Operation and Maintenance
Records and Reporting
Operator Training and Experience

Each of these components is assigned a risk score, which are then weighed to determine the overall management risk score of a system. The resulting score will then result in the management of the system as being classified as either high risk, medium risk, or low risk.

-High Risk: Major deficiencies in most of the components. Should a problem arise, the system and management as a whole is unlikely to be able to compensate, thus there is a high probability that any problem could result in unsafe water. Issues should be addressed as soon as possible.

-Medium Risk: Minor deficiencies in several components, or major deficiencies in one or two components. Should a problem arise, the system and management can probably compensate for the problem, but the noted deficiencies makes this uncertain, thus there is a medium probability that any problem could result in unsafe water. Issues need to be addressed.

-Low Risk: Minor or no deficiencies with the system or management. Should a problem occur, it is likely that the system and management as a whole will be able to compensate and continue to provide safe water while the issue is being resolved.

It is important to distinguish between INAC's system management risk level and drinking water quality. The actual quality of the water produced by a system is but one part of determining the overall system management risk level.

Unsafe drinking water is noted through the implementation of Drinking Water Advisories (DWA), not by the management risk level of the system. DWA come in multiple forms, the most common being the boil water advisory.

A system with a high-risk ranking under INAC's management evaluation is, because of its multiple deficiencies, likely to be unable to cope with problems that may occur in the system that result in a DWA. This means that DWA are likely to occur more frequently and to have a longer-term duration on a high-risk system. On the other hand, while problems can and do occur in low-risk systems, because of better overall risk management, these systems are more likely to address the problem in the short term, resulting in the rapid removal of problems and DWA.

This means that a high-risk drinking system can still produce perfectly safe and potable water. Deficiencies should be addressed as quickly as possible, however, before any issues arise with the water quality. (INAC, Management Risk Level Evaluation Guidelines)

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system

Refers to a control and/or computer system that can monitor, record and control infrastructure, or facility-based processes.

Secondary containment for treatment chemicals

Secondary containment is required for the storage of all regulated hazardous materials. Secondary containment must be constructed using materials capable of containing a spill or leak for at least as long as the period between monitoring inspections. A means of providing overfill protection for any primary container may be required. This may be an overfill prevention device and/or an attention getting high level alarm. Materials that in combination may cause a fire or explosion, the production of a flammable, toxic, poisonous gas, or the deterioration of a primary or secondary container will be separated in both the primary and secondary treatment containment so as to avoid intermixing.

Secondary Treatment

involving the biological process of reducing suspended, colloidal, and dissolved organic/inorganic matter in effluent from primary treatment systems and which generally removes 80 to 95 percent of the Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and suspended matter. Secondary wastewater treatment may be accomplished by biological or chemical-physical methods. Activated sludge and trickling filters are two of the most common means of secondary treatment. (North American Lake Management Society, cited in Alberta Glossary)

Septic tank

Source Classification

The determination of the water source classification in this assessment includes the options of: surface water, groundwater, GUDI or MTA. Surface water includes water from lakes or rivers; groundwater includes any well water that is not influenced by surface water infiltration; GUDI is any groundwater source under the direct influence of surface water; MTA as a source refers to the community acquiring the treated water from a municipality.

Source risk

The risk inherent in the quality and quantity of the raw source water prior to treatment.

Source Water Protection

1. The prevention of pollution of the lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams, and groundwater that serve as sources of drinking water. Wellhead protection would be an example of a source water protection approach that protects groundwater sources, whereas management of land around a lake or reservoir used for drinking water would be an example for surface water supplies. Source water protection programs typically include: delineating source water protection areas; identifying sources of contamination; implementing measures to manage these changes; and planning for the future. (North American Lake Management Society, cited in Alberta Glossary)

2. Action taken to control or minimize the potential for introduction of chemicals or contaminants in source waters, including water used as a source of drinking water (Alberta Environment, Standards and Guidelines, cited in Alberta Glossary).

Tertiary Treatment

Selected biological, physical, and chemical separation processes to remove organic and inorganic substances that resist conventional treatment practices. Tertiary Treatment processes may consist of flocculation basins, clarifiers, filters, and chlorine basins or ozone or ultraviolet radiation processes. Tertiary techniques may also involve the application of wastewater to land to allow the growth of plants to remove plant nutrients. Can include advanced nutrient removal processes. (North American Lake Management Society, cited in Alberta Glossary)

Trihalomethanes (THMs)

Chemical compounds that can be formed when water is disinfected using chlorine or bromine as the chemical disinfection agent. These chemical compounds are formed when organic material present in the raw source water reacts with chlorine or bromine. Therefore, THMs are classified as disinfection by-products (DBPs). The primary source of organic material comes from decaying vegetation found in lakes, rivers and streams and for this reason, THMs are more commonly observed in water systems that use a surface water source. The four chemical compounds that are measured and used to calculate total THMs are: chloroform, bromoform, bromodichloromethane (BDCM) and chlorodibromomethane (CDBM). THMs are a concern in potable water because there is scientific evidence that they may pose a risk in the development of cancer.

Treatment Certification

The treatment level to which an operator is certified for water treatment and distribution and wastewater treatment and collection systems (see Treatment Classification).

Treatment Classification

The size (flow) and complexity of a water or wastewater system is used to determine the Class of a system using a point template. The knowledge and experience it takes to operate a system is closely related to its classification and is reflected in the level of certification of the operator. Systems that are small and relatively simple, are classified as Small Water or Wastewater Systems. Larger or more complex systems are ranked as Class I, II, III, and IV with the highest being Class IV. Systems should be operated under the supervision of an operator certified to at least the same level of the facility.

TSS (Total Suspended Solids)

Measure of the amount of non-dissolved solid material present in water or wastewater. Total suspended solids (TSS) can cause: a) interference with light penetration (in UV applications), b) build-up of sediment and c) can carry nutrients and other toxic pollutants that cause algal blooms and potential reduction in aquatic habitat (wastewater).

Appendix C: Site Visit Methodology

Site Visits

Typical Day

Arrive in Community – Lead/Senior Inspector & Technical Support

Meet with Circuit Rider and/or DIAND representative and First Nation/Tribal Council Representatives to undergo introductions and provide a brief synopsis of the activities to be undertaken for the day. This is based on the assumption that the First Nation has been fully briefed by DIAND on the purpose, process and benefits for the First Nation to cooperate and collaborate with the project.
Confirm the various components that the First Nation uses to provide water to the entire community (i.e. number and types of distribution systems, source types, private wells, etc.) to help build assessment form for the community.
Pre-select areas to undertake private system evaluations on community map.
Confirm any missing background data that may be available allowing the First Nation time during the day to have Public Works Director/Supervisor/Secretary/etc to locate such materials.

Lead/Senior – Inspector

Meet with Chief/Housing Manager/Band Manager/Finance Manager, to identify:
- future servicing needs (planned development and population growth)
- servicing constraints (source availability, soils, groundwater, bedrock, topography, etc.)
- identify the extent to which non structural solutions or optimization strategies (water conservation, leak reduction, etc) have been previously investigated or implemented
- confirm current population and housing numbers
- obtain financial information not previously provided
- note community concerns related to future servicing.
Complete a walk through of the water plant from source to storage.
Prepare a flow schematic (internal use).
Complete the assessment questionnaire on treatment/storage/operations/operator(s) etc. with Operator/Circuit Rider.
Take photographs.
Travel to main sewage pumping station and wastewater treatment facility.
Complete a walk through of the plant from influent to effluent.
Prepare a flow schematic (internal use).
Complete assessment questionnaire.
Take photographs.
Complete ACRS update.
Repeat for additional water or wastewater facilities.
Review information collected by Technical Support
Gather all background/operational data gathered by First Nation.
Complete overall notes.

Technical Support

Gather any relevant operational data (water and wastewater), if not already provided and arrange with the First Nation to have copied/scanned that day.
Obtain GPS coordinates of source(s) and treatment.
Complete the source questions on the assessment questionnaire.
Undertake sampling of the raw and/or treated water, if necessary.
Take photographs.
Complete ACRS update.
Travel around community with First Nation representative and undertake private system assessments for water and/or septic including GPS coordinates, photographs, assessment forms and sampling.
Meet back with Lead/Senior Inspector at wastewater location and assist with sampling, if required.

Sampling Requirements

Water Sampling

The terms of reference state, "The sampling program for public water systems should reflect the requirements of the most stringent regulations applicable in the Province in which the community is located. However, should an adequate sampling program already be in place, then existing data may be used. Bidders should assume sampling and testing will be required for 5% of total wells, septics, and cisterns identified in SW5. Septics and cisterns only require a visual inspection. All bidders are required to carry a $500,000 allowance for this purpose. Any variances should be identified in the Inception Report."

Health Canada data is anticipated to be available for the majority of the water systems. Where data is not available, sampling will be conducted as part of the inspection.

Minimum existing data required will include:

Community systems

bacteriological – monthly available for previous year
general chemistry – annually (treated)
full Volatile Organic Compound analysis – within 5 years

Private wells

bacteriological – one sample within past year
basic chemistry – one sample within past year

For public systems where data is not available, treated water samples will be obtained and submitted to a laboratory for testing that would include; Basic Chemistry, Full Metals Scan, Bacteria and Volatile Organic Compounds.

For public systems that include a piped distribution system and where distributed water quality data is not available, a sample will be taken from the most remote point in the distribution system and sampled for Disinfection By-Products.

For individual wells, samples will be obtained from a representative number of wells (5% of total wells) in the community. The testing will include; Basic Chemistry, Full Metals Scan and Bacteria.

Wastewater Sampling

For systems lacking existing discharge quality data, and that will be discharging at the time of the site visit, representative samples will be obtained and submitted to a laboratory for testing. This would include seasonal discharges at the time of the site visit and from plants with continuous discharge to a receiving body. Sewage treatment systems providing an equivalent to secondary treatment (lagoons, and mechanical facilities) for which effluent quality data does not include the parameters of BOD₅, TSS, and E.Coli, will be sampled in the field, if they are in fact discharging at the time of site visit. Similarly, sewage treatment systems providing an equivalent to tertiary treatment for which effluent quality data does not include BOD₅, TSS, Ammonia, Total Phosphorous and E.Coli, will be sampled in the field, if they are in fact discharging at the time of the site visit.
