Where contractual relationships or coverage arrangements have been established with neighboring operating authorities or system owners, the details of such arrangements should be included or referenced in your procedure. The Do component of Element 11 requires that you ensure competent personnel are available to perform their duties.
Their availability should follow your coverage plans. The operational plan shall document a procedure for communications that describes how the relevant aspects of the quality management system are communicated between top management and:.
Specifically, the procedures must address how QMS information is communicated between top management to the owner, operating authority personnel, suppliers, and the public. It is important to recognize that the procedure is required to consider communication both to and from top management.
Consideration should be given to developing specific strategies for communicating relevant aspects of the QMS between top management and essential suppliers. Where aspects of the QMS are relevant to suppliers that have not been identified as essential, consideration should also be given to including them within the scope of the communication procedure. The procedure for communications may assist people with decision-making authority over the drinking water system in meeting their standard of Care obligations under s.
It is important that this aspect of communications be explored and discussed during the creation, and any subsequent amendment, of the procedure. The Do component of Element 12 requires that the operating authority implement and conform to the procedure.
Element 13 of the DWQMS is about managing the supplies and services that are essential for the delivery of safe drinking water. These are the people, products and materials that are required for the operation of your system. Supplies and services, both goods and people coming in from outside of the drinking water system, can introduce risks. For essential supplies and services, these risks may be magnified.
If a supply or service does not meet your defined quality standards, it could result in inadequately treated or disinfected water. By documenting what quality you expect, and by continuing to assess whether or not supplies and services consistently meet your requirements after they have been selected, you help to minimize the risks to drinking water quality.
Finally, you must make sure that your expectations for essential supplies and services are met on a continuous basis. While your suppliers are not required to be accredited against the requirements of the DWQMS , consideration should be given for requiring suppliers to meet specific certification, accreditation or licensing standards appropriate for their industry. The operational plan shall document a procedure for reviewing the adequacy of the infrastructure necessary to operate and maintain the subject system that:.
The operating authority shall implement and conform to the procedure and communicate the findings of the review to the owner. Element 14 of the DWQMS requires a procedure for the annual review of drinking water system infrastructure. The purpose is to review what infrastructure is necessary to operate and maintain the subject system, and to determine if that infrastructure is in place as needed.
You are required to consider the results of your risk assessment when reviewing the adequacy of your infrastructure. For example: if an infrastructure improvement, repair, or upgrade has been identified as necessary to reduce the likelihood or impact of a hazard or hazardous event, it should be included in the infrastructure review findings. The Do component of Element 14 requires that the operating authority carry out the review procedure, and report what is found to the owner.
This ensures that the owner is regularly informed of infrastructure needs so that the owner can plan accordingly. Element 15 of the DWQMS is about documenting a summary of the maintenance, rehabilitation and renewal programs for your infrastructure. Your operational plan must include a summary of the programs you have in place to maintain, rehabilitate and renew the infrastructure of the drinking water system. These summaries must be updated as changes occur, and must be communicated to the owner.
Your operational plan should also include a long term forecast of major infrastructure maintenance, rehabilitation and renewal activities. The DWQMS allows you the flexibility to define what activities are considered within this forecast and the number of years that will be forecast.
You must also monitor the effectiveness of the maintenance program. This means that you must periodically review the maintenance program to check how well the program is working. The focus of Element 16 of the DWQMS is measuring your system to monitor what is happening, your level of control, and the quality of treated drinking water. Specifically, Element 16 requires that you establish and implement procedures describing how you sample, test and monitor for process control and finished drinking water quality.
The procedures must include details about the sampling, testing and monitoring that is performed on the conditions most challenging to your drinking water system.
You must also describe relevant sampling, testing and monitoring activities that you perform upstream before water enters your drinking water system. If this sampling, testing or monitoring is not performed by you, but is provided to you, you must also describe it.
You must describe how the owner and operating authority share the sampling, testing and monitoring results. The operational plan shall document a procedure for the calibration and maintenance of measurement and recording equipment.
Element 17 specifically requires that you document a procedure to calibrate and maintain this measurement and recording equipment. Verification of measuring and recording equipment may be a means for identifying that maintenance is required and in the context of the DWQMS may be considered an activity for maintaining such equipment. The Do component of Element 17 requires that you implement and conform to the calibration and maintenance procedure.
To demonstrate conformance to the requirements of Element 17, you will generally be required to provide evidence that:. The operational plan shall document a procedure to maintain a state of emergency preparedness that includes:. This element of the DWQMS is all about being prepared for emergency situations that could result in the loss of your ability to maintain the supply of safe drinking water to consumers. Emergency preparedness means identifying what could happen in your system to cause an emergency, and having processes and procedures in place to prepare for and respond to those emergencies.
The DWQMS requires that your operational plan includes emergency procedures and contact information, which includes information about:. The Do component of this element requires that you implement and conform to these procedures. The operating authority shall implement and conform to the procedure and shall ensure that internal Audits are conducted at least once every calendar year.
Specifically, the procedure must describe what you are auditing against, how often you do so, what in your QMS is being audited, how it is audited, and what records are created. While you are not required to audit all of your procedures every year, your audit procedures should clearly demonstrate how you are verifying conformity of the QMS with the requirements of the DWQMS.
The audit procedures must also show how the planned audits are influenced by the previous audit results. When something is found that does not conform to the requirements of the DWQMS , the procedure must also describe how you identify what needs to be corrected, and how the correction is initiated. The Do component of Element 19 requires that audits be performed as described in your operational plan, and performed in entirety at least once every calendar year.
The operational plan shall document a procedure for management review that evaluates the continuing suitability, adequacy and effectiveness of the quality management system and that includes consideration of:. The Plan component of Element 20 requires you to have a procedure for an annual management review, and lists the topics which the management review must cover. A year-old holds a new Rhode Island fishing state record after reeling in a gigantic tautog on Sunday.
Year of the Bluefin provides an interesting look into what the return of Pacific tuna has meant to the fishermen in California. Andy Nabreski and Jimmy Fee hit the salt ponds of Cape Cod in search of the large numbers of brown shrimp that unexpectedly hit inshore waters from Long Island to Cape Cod this fall. Learn the six steps to successfully tag and release a tuna using a kit from the Tag a Tiny program.
Anglers can contribute to the "Tag a Tiny" cooperative tuna tagging program by requesting a kit from the Large Pelagics Research Center.
Other treatment methods can be effective against some of the above pathogens: Ultraviolet Light UV Light can be used as a pathogen reduction method against some microorganisms. The technology requires effective prefiltering due to its dependence on low water turbidity cloudiness , the correct power delivery, and correct contact times to achieve maximum pathogen reduction. UV might be an effective method in pathogen reduction in backcountry water; there is a lack of independent testing data available on specific systems.
Chlorine has a low to moderate effectiveness in killing Giardia , and a high effectiveness in killing bacteria and viruses. Keep germs out of water and off your hands In addition to using the appropriate drinking water treatment methods listed above, take these steps to protect yourself and others from waterborne illness: If you are in a remote area without toilets, bury human waste poop 8 inches deep and at least feet away from lakes, rivers, and other natural waters.
Make sure to bury poop downstream from where you or others collect water. Wash your hands before handling food, eating, and after using the toilet. Healthy Water Sites. Get Email Updates.

What's this? Links with this icon indicate that you are leaving the CDC website. Here's your poison - the purple stuff. Cranky's levels are just like Swampy's from the first game. This time around, though, you're pushing poison into the hose rather than water. Regardless, it's supposed to resemble real-world liquid, sploshing and splashing about with realistic physics. Good old-fashioned dirt.
You can dig through this brown stuff with your finger, creating tunnels and dips for water to travel through. Remember that water will always obey gravity, so don't expect it to travel uphill without a little force. These are optional items three to a stage that give you more points. Swampy's ducks are grabbed by filling them up with water. To fit Cranky's more rebellious style, you fill up these green ducks with purple liquid to nab them. You can either get them as you go or beat the level and come back later to pick them up.
Here's your main water pipe, and the exit point for the level's water. You need to get 20 drops in the pipe to end the stage, but get more than that in and you'll earn bonus "overflow" points in that level. The villain of the piece and bully of the game's goofy hero. Give him a little tap to see his animations. Video Guides If you're struggling to finish a level, this series of video guides will help you along. Cranky's First Course Hunger Pains Bulking Up Cranky's Challenges Cranky's Story also features a series of challenges, which task you with re-trying levels from Swampy's and Cranky's campaigns and beating them in very specific ways.
Note: ' Tri-duck' means to collect all three ducks and complete the level. Drain it First - Tri-duck the level, but with Cranky Ducks 1. Let some water drip in to the poison, to increase the poison height, thus securing the second duck.
Dig a tunnel to transport your poison to the third duck, then drain it away off the right-hand side of the level. With the poison gone, dig a tunnel so the water goes into Swampy's shower. Balloon Bridge - Tri-duck the level without using the balloon Dig a tunnel like the image above so that the water grabs the first duck but jumps past the bridge of moss and lands right in the path of the second and third ducks.
Double Jump - Run out of water without getting any of it to Swampy Drop your water into the pipe mouth just before the green goop reaches the bottom of the column so that it's completely engulfed by goop. Interruption - Tri-duck the level, but with Cranky Ducks 1. Send the poison in the left- and right-most chambers to the mines, causing them to explode.
The force of the explosion will send the poison flying upwards, capturing both ducks. Let some poison into the trigger point on the right. This causes the gates to rise, and the left pipe will spew poison back on itself.
Dig out the duck to engulf it in toxic purple liquid. Now, carefully let the water down into Swampy's pipe. Drawbridge - Tri-duck the level without lowering the bottom bridge 1. Let this body of water free a so that it bounces off the green bridge and nabs the first duck b.
Drop some of this water into the green trigger to lower the bridge. Now, drain it into the second duck, and let it loose over the bridge. There's a small gap in the dirt here, which sprays water directly into Swampy's shower. As soon as enough water is in, drop a tunnel down to the last duck to finish the challenge. The Grid - Zero-duck it Complete the level without collecting any ducks 1. Make adjustments to the dirt around the pipes at points A and B to complete disable their toxic production.
Dig at areas C , D , and E to slowly direct the trickle of water to Swampy's pipe. Double Launch - Tri-duck the level, but with Cranky Ducks 1. Send the water into the pipe. It will turn into poison and grab the first two ducks. Make a cut at the pipe mouth and near the third duck to direct this flow of poison to the final quacky toy. Excise this area of dirt so the back-splashed poison drains into the small puddle of toxic liquid. Now, drop the lot into the pipe, turning it into water and filling Swampy's bath.
Create and Destroy - Complete the level with no explosions Use one of the water cannons to push green goop at the moss. Ventilation Shaft - Complete the level without closing the orange gates 1. Dig the top bit of dirt like so, making a reservoir for collected water and a ramp that will fling water into the shower pipe's mouth. Drain the water and direct it into the green pipe to open the green gates. Then, drop it into the fire to create steam. Very slowly, the steam will rise, hit the ice, pool up in the reservoir, then spill over and shoot into the shower.
It will take a while, but it will work. Open this blue gate with your finger, then send a jet of water into the tunnel.
