New system for identifying cross connection control assemblies
by Ryan Boebel, Plumbing Plan Reviewer/Cross Connection Control Consultant, 608-261-6535, rboebel@commerce.state.wi.us
In the future, testers, inspectors, and owners should find it easier to identify cross connection control devices: reduced pressure principle backflow preventer assemblies (ASSE 1013), reduced pressure detector backflow preventer assemblies (ASSE 1047), back siphonage backflow vacuum breaker assemblies (ASSE 1056), and pressure vacuum breaker assemblies (ASSE 1020). An adopted code change going into effect in 2001 mandates that assemblies required to have annual testing under Comm 82.21(3) be garnished with an identification tag. The process of choosing the tags' style, wording, material, etc., has spanned over the last two years. The effective date of the code is January 1, 2001, with implementation delayed until July 1 to allow time for compliance. To facilitate the rush to identification, the Safety and Buildings Division has 25,000 tags and nylon ties for the roughly 20,000 assemblies that S&B has registered in a computer database. Someone tagging assemblies does not have to use the tags provided by S&B. The proposed code does, however, furnish the required wording (This language is the minimum needed, but may be supplemented):
"Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services
Identification/Object Number _______
Cross Connection Control Assembly
Do Not Remove This Tag"
The tags provided by S&B will be approximately two and a half inches by four and three-quarter inches in size, fluorescent pink in color. At one end, an eyelet accommodates a nylon tie, which is provided with the tags. Tags are made of a material much like that used as house wrap for weatherizing purposes. I soaked a tag in a glass of water for two weeks, then moved it to a window ledge for another two weeks, and then hung it from a clothesline for two weeks. The tag stood up to my testing. Ripping the tags without making an initial cut is extremely difficult, if not impossible. Much discussion occurred among S&B staff and advisors on the process of distributing the tags. Should licensed plumbers get them? Testers? Owners? Local plumbing inspectors? S&B decided anyone could request and receive the tags. A fax request can be sent to 608-267-9723, S&B Materials Distribution Section. A mail request can be sent to Material Orders, PO Box 2509, Madison, WI 53701-2509. To find the devices lists from the Safety and Buildings Home Page, http://www.commerce state.wi.us/SB.html, choose "Programs" on the left-hand side of the screen. Next, scroll down to "Plumbing" and choose the arrow. You will now be able to choose "Lists of Cross Connection Control Assemblies." (There are many other resources available from that S&B Home Page.) The list is organized alphabetically by Wisconsin counties. You have the option of opening the county as either a PDF or Word document. After choosing a document, you will find a list of the CCC assemblies in alphabetical order according to city. This has very useful information about the assembly, including the Regulated Object number, which will be required to appear on the tag. Be sure to read the commentary about the lists! If you have any questions on the tagging process, please feel free to contact me at the number listed at the start of this article.   2. S&B continuing education classes go through Feb. 1, but don't expect to just walk in and register
While Safety and Buildings Division classes are still open though Feb. 1, 2001, don't expect to just walk in and register. As of December 1, most December classes were full with pre-registrants and walk-ins would not be accepted. S&B is providing more seats this year than last, but the division can't guarantee room for everyone. You can still call the S&B Credentialing Unit, 608-261-8500, to check for possible remaining December openings. However, if you need con ed hours before the end of 2000, and you aren't registered already for a December S&B class, you should be looking for other education sources. Pre-registrations for the 2001 classes are stronger than usual and walk-ins may not be possible for those, either. See below for 2001 plumbing con ed registration information.

  10. Plumbing code changes effective January 1, 2001 are part of S&B con ed classes
One of the plumbing rule change packages that being reviewed at S&B continuing education classes this season becomes effective on January 1, 2001. Some of the facets of this package are:
* Alternate and experimental system review criteria.
* Existing system determinations (when the code requires upgrading an existing system).
* Cross connection control test results are required to be forwarded to S&B and the water purveyor.
* Cross connection control devices and assemblies must be tagged. Implementation of this allows six months to provide for time to comply.
* Performance requirements for stormwater piping.
* Specific language for surface discharge for residential (one- and two-family) garage drains to surface.
* Elliptical piping table added to storm rules (Comm 82.36).
* Canadian standards for cross connection control devices and assemblies are included in Wisconsin code.
* Vacuum breaker installation heights include consideration of point of aspiration or injection.
* Health care temperature requirements include a maximum hot temperature and a range for thermostatic valve response.
* Product standards updated.
If you have questions about the revisions, contact any S&B plumbing staff member.

  12. Apprenticeship ratios return to previous numbers
Last Spring, the Bureau of Apprenticeship Standards in the state Department of Workforce Development, to meet market demand, revised the plumbing apprenticeship ratios to increase the number of apprenticeships available. The revision expired on November 1, 2000 and was not renewed by the bureau, after discussion with the bureau's Plumbing Apprenticeship Advisory Council. (For the revised ratios, see the May 2000 WPCR.)
Apprentices registered from May 1 to November 1, 2000 will continue to function under the revised ratios in effect during that time. The council and bureau announced plans to review the ratios again during their February 2001 meeting, with the possibility of modifying the ratios at that time. Local apprenticeship committees can at any time request adjustment of the ratios if they feel their local conditions warrant it.. If you would like more information relating to the apprenticeship program, contact Karen Morgan, director of the DWD Bureau of Apprenticeship Standards, 608-266-3133.

POWTS memo says 1200 gallon tank acceptable for 3-year maintenance DATE: 11/27/2000
TO: POWTS Plan Reviewers, Wastewater Specialists, County Code Administrators, Interested Parties
FROM: Roman A. Kaminski, Program Manager, 715-345-5334, rkaminski@commerce.state.wi.us
SUBJECT: POWTS Treatment Tank Capacity Determinations
The implementation of the Comm 83 code package included a change in how POWTS treatment tanks (septic tanks) are approved by the Department of Safety and Professional Services (Safety and Buildings Division). Under the previous code, product review was focused primarily on tank capacity and materials. The new code includes several performance criteria that must be met by the various POWTS treatment and dispersal components. Septic tanks were re-reviewed and given credit for treatment capability based on capacity, type of wastewater and maximum daily flow rate. Sizing was then determined on the commonly used three-year maintenance (pump out) cycle. For most residential applications, the assignment of maximum daily flow rates resulted in no change in tank capacities or maintenance cycles. However, the tank typically used for four-bedroom, one- and two-family residential applications (1,200 gallons capacity) is approximately 4 percent less than the capacity established by the treatment capability formula. The criteria used to determine how a tank is sized was taken in part from a federal publication "Studies in Household Sewage Disposal Systems Part III, U.S. Public Health Service, Publication No. 397." This publication predicts a 95 percent level of confidence in the results of the study of scheduled maintenance cycles. In other words, it is possible to have a 5 percent deviation in the predicted maintenance cycles. The department has previously indicated that per capita sizing and adjustment of the maintenance intervals were two options that could be used to address the issue of tank capacity as it relates to the 1,200 gallon septic tanks. After discussion with members of the POWTS Technical Advisory Committee, the department has further determined that for four-bedroom, one- and two-family residential POWTS system applications, a 1,200 gallon tank will be considered acceptable for a three-year maintenance interval. The issue of tank sizing and maintenance cycles will be studied further and included in discussions during the next Comm 83 code revision process.   16. UW POWTS Winter Education Sessions
