These chemicals are elemental chlorine and ammonia hydroxide that are used as part of the water treatment process. Due to the storage quantity and concentration at the plants, the City is obligated to fulfill federal and/or state reporting requirements for both chemicals. Chlorine and Ammonia are disinfection chemicals that are highly regulated due to their toxicity, release endpoint distances, concentration and threshold quantities used or stored. Elemental chlorine used at the plants are Federal EPA and CalARP program level 3 covered processes. The aqueous ammonia used at the plants are CalARP program level 2 ("state only") covered processes. Offsite consequences are a possibility from an unintentional or accidental release.
