Preservation of community water supplies. | 8 | | (a) The Agency shall adopt rules governing certain | 9 | | corrosion prevention projects carried out on community water | 10 | | supplies. Those rules shall not apply to buried pipelines | 11 | | including, but not limited to, pipes, mains, and joints. The | 12 | | rules shall exclude routine maintenance activities of | 13 | | community water supplies including, but not limited to, the use | 14 | | of protective coatings applied by the owner's utility personnel | 15 | | during the course of performing routine maintenance | 16 | | activities.

|
| 1 | | (1) standards for ensuring that community water | 2 | | supplies carry out corrosion prevention and mitigation | 3 | | methods according to corrosion prevention industry | 4 | | standards adopted by the Agency; | 5 | | (2) requirements that community water supplies use: | 6 | | (A) protective coatings personnel to carry out | 7 | | corrosion prevention and mitigation methods on exposed | 8 | | water treatment tanks, exposed non-concrete water | 9 | | treatment structures, exposed water treatment pipe | 10 | | galleys; exposed pumps; and generators; the Agency | 11 | | shall not limit to protective coatings personnel any | 12 | | other work relating to prevention and mitigation | 13 | | methods on any other water treatment appurtenances | 14 | | where protective coatings are utilized for corrosion | 15 | | control and prevention to prolong the life of the water | 16 | | utility asset; and | 17 | | (B) inspectors to ensure that best practices and | 18 | | standards are adhered to on each corrosion prevention | 19 | | project; and | 20 | | (3) standards to prevent environmental degradation | 21 | | that might occur as a result of carrying out corrosion | 22 | | prevention and mitigation methods including, but not | 23 | | limited to, standards to prevent the improper handling and | 24 | | containment of hazardous materials, especially lead paint, | 25 | | removed from the exterior of a community water supply. | 26 | | In adopting rules under this subsection (a), the Agency
|

|
| 1 | | shall obtain input from corrosion industry experts
| 2 | | specializing in the training of personnel to
carry out | 3 | | corrosion prevention and mitigation methods. | 4 | | (b) As used in this Section: | 5 | | "Community water supply" has the meaning ascribed to that
| 6 | | term in Section 3.145 of this Act. | 7 | | "Corrosion" means a naturally occurring phenomenon
| 8 | | commonly defined as the deterioration of a metal that results | 9 | | from a chemical or electrochemical reaction
with its | 10 | | environment. | 11 | | "Corrosion prevention and mitigation methods" means: | 12 | | the preparation, application, installation,
removal, | 13 | | or general maintenance as necessary of a
protective coating | 14 | | system, including any or more of the
following: | 15 | | (A) surface preparation and coating application on
| 16 | | the exterior or interior of a community water supply; | 17 | | or | 18 | | (B) shop painting of structural steel fabricated
| 19 | | for installation as part of a community water supply. | 20 | | "Corrosion prevention project" means carrying out
| 21 | | corrosion prevention and mitigation methods. "Corrosion | 22 | | prevention project" does not include clean-up related to | 23 | | surface preparation. | 24 | | (c) This Section shall apply to only those projects | 25 | | receiving 100% funding from the State. | 26 | | (d) Any contractors providing services covered by this |

Preservation of bridge infrastructure. | 9 | | (a) The Department may adopt rules governing all corrosion | 10 | | prevention projects carried out on eligible bridges. Rules may | 11 | | include a process for ensuring that corrosion prevention and | 12 | | mitigation methods are carried out according to corrosion | 13 | | prevention industry standards adopted by the Department for | 14 | | eligible bridges that include: | 15 | | (1) a plan to prevent environmental degradation that | 16 | | could occur as a result of carrying out corrosion | 17 | | prevention and mitigation methods including the careful | 18 | | handling and containment of hazardous materials; and | 19 | | (2) consulting and interacting directly with, for the | 20 | | purpose of utilizing trained personnel specializing in the | 21 | | design and inspection of corrosion prevention and
| 22 | | mitigation methods on bridges. | 23 | | (b) As used in this Section: | 24 | | "Corrosion" means a naturally occurring phenomenon
