City of Live Oak Report to City Council Meeting Date: November 20, 2024 Title: Notification of Detection of PFAS (PFHxS) Above Notification Level in Well 2A Contact Information: Jeff Nelson, Interim Public Works Director Background: In response to General Order NO. DW-2024-0002-DDW, water quality samples were collected from all of the City's water supply wells. A Polyfluoroalkyl Substance (PFAS) subspecies (PFHxS) was detected at a concentration of 3.3 nanograms/liter (ng/l) or parts per trillion, above the recently established Notification Level (NL) of 3.0 ng/l for PFHxS in City Well 2A. This concentration is below the Response Level of 20 ng/l for PFHxS. Other PFAS subspecies detected in this sample were at concentrations below their respective NLs. PFAS were not detected above the NL in any other of samples collected from the other City Wells. As required by General Order NO. DW-2024-0002-DDW, staff is notifying the City Council that a PFAS was detected at a concentration exceeding the adopted Notification Level. Analysis: No other action is required at this time. Fiscal Impacts: None. Recommendation: Information only, no action required. Attachments: Above Notification Level Notice Notification Level Exceedance 12

Sent via email: apalmer@liveoakcity.org October 30, 2024 CA5110001 AARON PALMER, CITY MANAGER CITY OF LIVE OAK 9955 LIVE OAK BLVD. LIVE OAK, CA 95953 GENERAL ORDER NO. DW-2024-0002-DDW NOTIFICATION OF PFAS RESULTS FOR CA5110001_013_013, WELL 02A - PFAS DETECTED ABOVE NOTIFICATION LEVEL You are receiving this document because a water source for CITY OF LIVE OAK public water system (PWS) was required to be tested for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) under the General Order DW 2024-0002-DDW (2024 Order). This document is to notify you that one or more PFAS chemicals were detected above the Notification Level via US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 533 in the PWS source (WELL 02A) with a primary station (PS) code of CA5110001_013_013. The analytical laboratory results for those PFAS compounds with notification and response levels issued by the State Water Board’s Division of Drinking Water are presented in the table below. Well Results Table for PFAS with Notification and Response Levels PFAS Sample Result1 (ng/L, ppt) CCRDL2 (ng/L, ppt) Notification Level3 (ng/L, ppt) Response Level3, 4 (ng/L, ppt) PFOA 2.7 4 5.1 10 PFOS 2.2 4 6.5 40 PFHxS 3.3 3 3 20 PFBS 2.1 3 500 5,000 Notes: ng/L = nanograms per liter ppt = parts per trillion ND = not detected above the laboratory reporting limit 1By US EPA Method 533 2The CCRDL is based on the US EPA UCMR 5 minimum reporting levels and listed in Exhibit B of the General Order (Order), dated March 4, 2024, and issued to the public water system. The Order can be accessed on the State Water Board’s Division of Drinking Water website at https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/drinking_water/certlic/drinkingwater/pfas_ddw_general_order/. 3A description of the notification and response level terminology can be found in the Order. 4The specific methodology to determine response level exceedances is dependent on the PFAS analyte and health endpoint. An exceedance of the response level for PFOA and PFOS is based on a quarterly running annual average 13

(QRAA). An explanation on how QRAA is calculated is provided in the 2024 Order. Furthermore, the PWS source (WELL 02A) with PS code of CA5110001_013_013 was analyzed for PFAS chemicals that cannot be specifically identified. The concentration of organofluorine is a proxy for total PFAS and was determined to be ND ng/L (nanograms per liter) via a method modeled after US EPA Method 1621. The analytical lab report for the EPA Method 533 and modified 1621 analytical tests performed on the sample collected on 08/19/2024 from WELL 02A are attached (Attachment 1). Please note that there are thousands of different PFAS, some of which have been more widely used and studied than others. Scientific research suggests that exposure to certain PFAS may lead to adverse health outcomes. Research is still ongoing to determine how exposure to these different PFAS chemicals occurs and how they can affect human health. ACTIONS REQUIRED 1. By November 29, 2024 notify your local agency governing the area in which your drinking water consumers reside (e.g., city council, county board of supervisors). If the PWS is a water company regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission (“Commission”), then your PWS must also notify the Commission. Governing Body Notification Templates (Attachment 2) are provided and must be used to fulfill this directive, unless otherwise approved by the State Water Board. The PWS must edit the wording of the notice as necessary. The PWS must send the notice(s) for PFAS chemical(s) exceeding the NL. 2. The PWS is required to report any PFAS detections above CCRDL in the annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) when PFAS is detected above CCRDL. Guidance is provided as follows depending on the PFAS that exceeds the CCRDL. If any PFAS chemicals other than PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS, or PFBS are found to be at concentrations above the corresponding CCRDLs, the PWS may also include the following health effects language in the CCR: “Please note that there are thousands of different PFAS, some of which have been more widely used and studied than others. Scientific research suggests that exposure to certain PFAS may lead to adverse health outcomes. Research is still ongoing to determine how exposure to these different PFAS chemicals occurs and how they can affect human health.“ If PFOA was at the concentration above the corresponding CCRDL, PWS may also add the following health effects language in the CCR: “Perfluorooctanoic acid exposures resulted in increased liver weight and cancer in laboratory animals.” If PFOS was at the concentration above the corresponding CCRDL, PWS may also add the following health effects language in the CCR: “Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid exposures resulted in immune suppression and cancer in laboratory animals.” If PFHxS was at the concentration above the corresponding CCRDL, PWS may also add the following health effects language in the CCR: “Perfluorohexane sulfonic acid exposures resulted in decreased total thyroid hormone in male rats.” If PFBS was at the concentration above the corresponding CCRDL, PWS may also add the following health effects language in the CCR: “Perfluorobutane sulfonic acid exposures resulted in decreased thyroid hormone in pregnant female mice.” Additional information about the CCR including details on reporting requirements can be found on the following webpage https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/drinking_water/certlic/drinkingwater/CCR.html. Attached is a fact sheet (Attachment 2) for more general information about PFAS and actions being taken to understand the occurrence in drinking water in California. This fact sheet has been translated into multiple languages other than English (i.e. Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Arabic, French, Farsi, Korean, Russian, Vietnamese) and available 14
