Preliminary Design
Well siting criteria:• Locations decided with community• Provide reasonable access• At least 30 m from human waste disposal• At least 15 m from food/wastewater disposal• At least 30 m from animal housing• Outside areas susceptible to flooding
Solicited bids from three drilling contractors Phased implementation: build two now,
monitor, build remainder next year

TAC ReviewContext
Follows initial technical approval of Pre-Implementation Report by Project Manager
Requires short (20 minute) webinar presentation to one of the regional Technical Advisory Committees (not necessarily home region TAC)
TAC reviews Pre-Implemetation Report, HASP and slides prior to presentation
Q&A session follows presentation More than one project may be on the agenda

TAC ReviewQuestions/Comments
Why does the well have a sump? What is the minimum/maximum grain size of
the filter pack? Has the depth of the village test well been
measured to determine is it has been filling up with sediment?
Will centralizers be used to keep the casing in the center of the borehole?
![Page 20: Madagascar Water Supply Project: TAC Review Summary May 14, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062812/568163f6550346895dd58536/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
TAC ReviewQuestions/Comments
The preliminary design is for 39 metre wells, compared to 18 metres for the test wells. If the driller is unable to go to 39 mbgs, it may be possible to get sufficient yield from a shallower well.
What water quality testing has been done? The pH of well water is in the range 4.7 – 5.4.
How will this be addressed? The Denver wiki shows a high coliform count
for the village well.
![Page 21: Madagascar Water Supply Project: TAC Review Summary May 14, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062812/568163f6550346895dd58536/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
TAC ReviewQuestions/Comments
The design is based on demand of 20 l/capita-day. This is too low.
Some wells are telescoped (i.e., borehole diameter is wider near the surface and narrows with depth). Was this considered?
The setbacks specify 15 metres from the wellhead to food/wastewater disposal areas. This should be 30 metres.
![Page 22: Madagascar Water Supply Project: TAC Review Summary May 14, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062812/568163f6550346895dd58536/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
TAC ReviewResponse
If TAC questions and comments are not resolved during the Q&A following the presentation, the project may be put on hold until these issues are they are.
Don’t panic! This is perfectly normal. All questions and comments to be resolved are
provided in writing. Responses are submitted in the a Form 809
report – Response to TAC Comments Can be an iterative process
![Page 23: Madagascar Water Supply Project: TAC Review Summary May 14, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062812/568163f6550346895dd58536/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
TAC ReviewResponse
All questions and comments must be addressed, but acceptable responses may vary from compliance to dispute, as long as they are technically sound.
Examples:• A more comprehensive water quality monitoring
program will be implemented; 30 metre setbacks will be introduced
• The 20 l/capita-day design basis was retained; telescoped well was not necessary or feasible

TAC ReviewConclusion
The Madagascar project submitted responses two weeks after being put on hold.
The TAC gave techinical approval ten days later
The project will be traveling to Madagascar this June to install two new wells in Ambalona
