*General Comment- |
|
Violation:
The shipyard letter for the potable water tank coatings did not state what number of Sigma Phenguard was used. The vessel had copies of the application and curing procedures for Phenguard 930 and 940 but the certification documentation from 3 separate certifcation entities did not list the Phenguard numbers. The letter from the FDA listed different numbers from the Phenguard numbers said to have been used by the shipyard. The Staff Captain stated that this issue was under a warranty claim with the shipyard. An online review of the Sigma Guard tank coatings brochure showed that Phenguard 930 and 940 were listed for gas and oil storage tanks while another coating was suggested for drinking water tanks. |
|
Recommendation:Ensure that interior coatings on potable water tanks are approved for potable water contact, and all manufacturer's recommendations for application, drying, or curing are followed. Ensure written documentaion for the coating used and recommendations followed are avaialble for review during inspections. |

Violation:
There were several threaded fill lines over the chemical tanks for the potable water in the engine room. These lines had an air-gap to the tanks but the threaded connections allowed for the connection of hoses. There was no backflow prevention device on any of the lines. |
|
Recommendation:Remove the threaded connections or install an appropriate backflow prevention device on the lines. |

Violation:
There were no test results for the pressure vacuum breakers installed on the potable water lines in the cart washing room. |
|
Recommendation:Ensure that backflow prevention devices requiring testing, for example reduced pressure backflow preventer and double check valves with test cocks, are inspected and tested with a test kit at least annually and that the test results showing the pressure differences on both sides of the valves are maintained for each device. |

Potable Water-Cross-connection Control List |
|
Violation:
The threaded hose connection at the bucket fill station in the garbage room was not on the list. The hose connection in the photo laboratory was not on the list. The list showed 4 connections with internal protection in the USPHS locker but there were actually more connections with both external and internal protection. |
|
Recommendation:Ensure that the cross-connection control program includes at minimum: a complete listing of cross-connections and the backflow prevention method/device for each, so that there is a match to the plumbing system component and location, and an inspection frequency. Ensure that air-gaps are included in the listing. |
