The pilot plant study must identify: (a) Hydraulic characteristics such as the optimum process loading rate or the proper blending rates; and(b) The unit process performance such as the optimum chemical feed and the most effective chemicals to use for adequate removal.2. A treatment technology used in a groundwater treatment facility may be approved without a pilot study if:(a) The treatment technology has been tested on water with similar characteristics;(b) The treatment technology was recommended in: (1) A preliminary engineering report required pursuant to NAC 445A.54026; or(2) If a preliminary engineering report was not required, an application for the approval of a water project to treat or blend groundwater that complies with the requirements of NAC 445A.54028; and(c) The public water system provides documentation to verify that the treatment technology has been proven to treat the drinking water in compliance with the requirements set forth in NAC 445A.453 and 445A.455.Nev.
