Design and Construction of a 36” Water Main within the Miami Well Field
This project is part of Dayton Water’s PFAS Strategy. The objective is to ensure compliance with PFAS Maximum Contaminant Levels by increasing production at the Miami Well Field to convey raw water to the Ottawa Treatment Plant. Blending raw water to decrease PFAS concentrations will reduce O&M expenses associated with end-of-pipe treatment. This project is for design and construction of a raw water main within the Miami Well Field, from the northern portion (Rip Rap) to the southern portion.

No source of a match is known at this time. The City of Dayton should not be responsible for the remediation of the PFAS contamination. Dayton did not cause the WPAFB contamination, which occurred outside of Dayton on property owned and controlled by the U.S. Government. The City has brought suit against the PFAS manufacturers as well as the Department of Defense in order to remediate these sites. It is inherently unfair to require the impoverished ratepayers of the City of Dayton to cover the cleanup of pollution that the City did not cause and that occurred outside of Dayton’s boundaries in areas where it had no control.
Construction or Capital
No
The City is working closely with OEPA regarding emerging contaminant funding. Funds allocated to OEPA through BIL may be available.

BACKGROUND
In 2016, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) introduced lower Health Advisory Levels (HAL) for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) at 70 ppts. The City had previously monitored for PFOA and PFOS during the Third Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR3) 2013-1015, with the results showing as non-detect at Ottawa and Miami Water Treatment Plant, as the detection limits were 20 and 40ppt respectively.
Upstream of the City’s water source Wright Patterson Airforce Base (WPAFB) detected PFAS during UCMR3 above the HAL. Under the advisement of the regulatory agency and out of an abundance of caution, the City took aggressive actions to preserve the source water and ensure its customers receive safe, high-quality drinking water. Measures included:
• Expanding the early warning monitoring well network.
• Monitoring at the treatment plants.
• Removing production wells from operational rotation.
The removal of production wells from operational rotation was viewed as a temporary solution while the City investigated more sustainable solutions, using the data gained from the increased monitoring schedules. Also, removing production wells decreased the water systems redundancy and increased operational costs as production wells are not rotated on their normal schedules.
In 2018, an updated analytical method was approved, lowering the quantifiable concentration numbers of PFOA and PFOS. Thus, the City started seeing detections in its Mad River Well Field and its Ottawa Water Treatment. The Mad River Well Field supplies water to the Ottawa Water Treatment Plant and the Miami Well Field supplies water to the Miami Water Treatment Plant. Currently, the water supplies are separate.
In June 2022, the EPA again lowered HAL for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), and introduced new HALS perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS), and GenX. The current City detections:
• PFOA 4 ppq (0.004ppt)
o Ottawa Water Treatment Plant 1.20 ppt (5/10/22)- 5.14 ppt (12/14/19)
o Miami Water Treatment Plant ND
• PFOS 20ppq (0.020ppt)
o Ottawa Water Treatment Plant 1.20 ppt (6/26/19)- 13.7 ppt (9/06/18)
o Miami Water Treatment Plant ND
• GenX 10ppt
o ND at Ottawa and Miami Water Treatment Points
• PFBS 2000 ppt
o ND at Ottawa and Miami Water Treatment Points
As previously stated, the City took temporary aggressive actions of removing production wells from operational rotation while waiting on the final guidance agency and developing a more permanent solution to manage PFAS contamination found in its water, based on data gathered from 2015 through the present.
SCOPE OF PROJECT
2.01 PURPOSE AND NEED / PROJECT DESCRIPTION. The City of Dayton, Department of Water (Dayton Water) is seeking proposals from a highly experienced and professional engineering Consultant to design a raw water main through the northern end of the Miami Well Field. Planning for the work estimates that the project will include ~3,400 lf of 36” main outside of pavement with native backfill, ~2,000 lf of 36” HDPE and ~400 lf of 24” main outside of pavement with native backfill.
2.02 BACKGROUND INFORMATION.
Dayton Water owns and operates two well fields, Mad River and Miami, and two water treatment plants, Ottawa and Miami. The Miami Well Field is located in and around the former Kitty Hawk Golf Course and along Rip Rap Road south of Fishburg Road. The Miami Treatment Plan is located at the southeast corner of the former golf course. The Mad River Well Field extends along the Mad River from northeast of North Irwin Street northeast to southwest of the Huffman Dam. As part of its PFAS strategy, Dayton Water will expand the capacity of the Miami Well Field and transport raw water from the Miami Well Field to the Ottawa Treatment Plant. This project is a critical component of the PFAS strategy.
