Herb&#8217;s duties were not limited to just the water system. He managed and performed maintenance all over the camp, so his time with the water system was often limited.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The documentation for the water system became outdated along with the aging infrastructure. The Tennessee Department of Environment Commission (TDEC) regulates the system. The Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) were written on a whiteboard. The system must sample its water, but those samples were not regularly taken. There was no set sampling schedule. Source water assessments weren&#8217;t performed. The water operator usually only visited the office once a month to complete paperwork and perform bacteriological sampling to monitor for the presence of coliform bacteria and pathogenic bacteria. The system fell out of compliance with state and federal regulations.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In 2020, Herb decided he was ready to retire.

The system was out of compliance because of a lack of proper testing and documentation. The state order noted that the system was not sampling regularly. It was not performing tasks related to the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR) and Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR).\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Indian Creek was referred to Communities Unlimited (CU) for assistance in regaining compliance. Ben said he was skeptical that such an organization could provide so much for no cost to the water system.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&#8220;I didn&#8217;t believe it was true that someone could help decipher everything,&#8221; he said.

test. He informed Annie that he had passed and was now a certified water operator. The certification paved the way for him to take over the water system and Herb to retire in 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After management of Indian Creek fully transitioned to Ben, there was still a lot of work to get the water system back into compliance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One of the issues to be addressed was monitoring the water source. When Annie requested the plan from Indian Creek, she received a single page with the sample plan, maps of the system and collection points.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The system lacked a cross-connection control plan and a Watershed or Source Water Protection Plan to outline how to alleviate existing and future threats to the water supply.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As COVID-19 swept the country, Annie provided personal protection equipment (PPE) to the camp&#8217;s personnel through the Rural Community Assistance Partnership (RCAP).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Annie made sure we had PPE,&#8221; Ben said. &#8220;She got us some masks when no one else had them.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Herb officially retired on January 1, 2021, and Ben became the official certified water operator for Indian Creek Youth
