Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 200 / Wednesday, October 20, 2021 / Notices
have reported significant challenges due
to an inadequate number of qualified
drivers with the necessary
endorsements and experience to
transport and offload liquified oxygen,
as well as a limited fleet of cryogenic
trucks that are necessary to transport
liquid oxygen. EPA continues to work
with our federal partners and suppliers
to identify actions that can be taken to
increase the availability of liquid
oxygen to all critical customers.
Pinellas County indicated that if they
do not receive a sufficient and reliable
supply of the required treatment
chemicals used at their drinking water
treatment facility, they would not be
able to ensure safe drinking water to the
communities they serve and may need
to shut down their water treatment
plant. Under normal circumstances,
they could rely on other sources of
water from Tampa Bay Water, such as
Tampa Bay Water’s wellfield. However,
Tampa Bay Water is currently in the
process of assessing and potentially
utilizing their backup sources, which, in
turn, would make them unavailable to
Pinellas County Utilities. Pinellas
County also indicated that if they did
not receive a sufficient and reliable
supply of the required treatment
chemicals to their reclamation facility,
they would not have the ability to
disinfect the effluent. Pinellas County
asserts that this scenario would force
the facility to discontinue reclaimed
uses of the effluent for irrigation and to
discharge water that has not been
properly disinfected, leading to a
violation of their discharge permit.
Additionally, the lack of available
irrigation water would put additional
burden on the drinking water supply for
irrigation purposes. According to
Penallas County, exhausting its supplies
of sulfur dioxide, specifically, would
render the facility unable to
dechlorinate plant effluent. In order to
discharge plant effluent to local
waterbodies, effluent must be properly
dechlorinated or the facility will be in
violation of their discharge permit. This
scenario is of concern particularly
during the rainy season and at times
with heavy influent. Further, if Pinellas
County were to exhaust its supplies of
Clarifloc SE–1482 and Clarifloc SE–
1371, the facility asserts that it would
not have the proper polymers needed
for effective sludge thickening and
dewatering, causing a backup of solids
and treatment and potentially leading to
septic conditions with subsequent
sludge storage overflow, which could
harm the surrounding environment.
At the time of application, Pinellas
County had not received a force majeure
notice or been placed on reduced

allocation. However, given the shortage
of related treatment chemicals in the
region and the vulnerability in the
system’s backup supplies, Pinellas
County is concerned that there is a risk
that they could face a shortage of one or
more of the listed chemicals.
