Background. ‘The purpose of ANSVAWWA D130 is to provide direction and guidance in selecting and purchasing flexible-membrane materials used to line or cover potable water reservoirs. The standard is based on the accumulated knowl- edge and experience of purchasers, consulting engineers, manufacturers, fabricators, and installers of flexible-membrane liners and floating covers. The standard should be used in conjunction with AWWA Manual M25, Flexible-Membrane Covers and Linings for Potable Water Reservoirs, and with NSF International Inc.” (NSF) Stan- dard 54, to define suitable application for use of these materials. Use of NSF 54. NSF has published a consensus standard, NSF 54—Flexible ‘Membrane Liners, which is frequently referenced in ANS/AWWA D130 to establish pertinent criteria, parameters, and tests for flexible-membrane materials for liners and floating covers for potable water storage application. Specifically, Sec. 3 of NSF 54, subsection 3.0.3, Installation Condition, defines the weathering resistance requirements for exposed lining materials in conjunction with part 11 of Appendix A of that standard. Subsection 3.1, Materials Properties, presents a series of tables defining the test methods and the minimum acceptable values for flexible-membrane materials of manufacturers subscribing to the voluntary NSF 54. Under the heading “Special Categories of Equipment, Products and Services,” the listing sets forth the manufacturer's name, product, trade designation, material classification, support condition, and intended product service. These annual listings provide the reader with a ready reference to assist in material selection. 1B. History. This is the first revision of ANSVAWWA D130-87, Standard for Flexible-Membrane-Lining and Floating-Cover Materials for Potable Water Storage. As in the first edition, ANSVAWWA D130 emphasizes potable water contact require- ments for liners and floating covers and defines the unique material requirements for that purpose. In 1975, AWWA appointed a committee to study and report on the adaptability of flexible-membrane liners and floating covers for use within the water industry. ‘The committee presented its report at the 1975 AWWA annual conference. This re- port included a recommendation to appoint a task group to prepare a standard for the use of flexible-membrane linings and floating covers. Subsequently, the AWWA Standards Committee on Flexible Reservoir Covers and Linings for Potable Water Storage was established in June 1976. The initial goal of the committee was to prepare a manual with guidelines for design, installation, and maintenance of a flexible-membrane floating cover or lin- ing, or both. The committee completed a first draft of the manual in February 1983 and submitted it for consideration by the AWWA Standards Council later that same year. The first edition, designated ANSVAWWA D130-87 was approved by the AWWA Board of Directors on Jan. 26, 1987, and by ANSI on May 28, 1987. This edition was approved by the AWWA Board of Directors on Feb. 4, 1996. “NSF International, 3475 Plymouth Rd., Ann Arbor, MI 48106, don oz, 1998
