AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing an Additional Task Order for West Yost &
Associates to Implement and Prepare Land Discharge Organic Loading
Study Required by the City's Wastewater Discharge Permit and
Appropriating Funds ($319,000)
MEETING DATE: August 6,2008
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution authorizing an additional task order for West Yost
& Associates to implement and prepare the White Slough Water
Pollution Control Facility Land Discharge Organic Loading Study
(Study) required by the City's wastewater discharge permit (Permit)
issued by the State Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (Board); and appropriating
$319,000 in the Wastewater Fund.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City's new wastewater discharge permit includes requirements
for a number of studies to be conducted and plans or reports to be
developed on various aspects of the City's wastewater treatment
operations. On December 19, 2007 Council authorized West Yost &
Associates to proceed with preparing work plans for various studies required by the Permit. The Study
will be performed in conformance with the work plan approved by the Board on June 4,2008. A copy of
West Yost & Associates proposal is provided in ExhibitA.
The Study is required to evaluate the assimilative capacity of the crops grown on the City's fields to
assess the potential impacts associated with the use of irrigation water containing elevated organic loads
on the City's land application areas at White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility. The primary source
of the wastewater applied to the City's fields is Pacific Coast Producers (PCP) cannery located on
Stockton Street. Accordingly, PCP has agreed to reimburse the City for their share of the Study costs.
The Permit requires the City to complete the study by April 1, 2009. Therefore, the Study must be
performed during this irrigation season as it is the only one prior to the April 1, 2009 deadline.
The Permit established a BOD loading limit effective April 1, 2009 that is substantially below the loading
rate applied to the fields in the past. The Study results will be used to support the City's application to
amend the Permit to allow a higher loading limit prior to the 2009 irrigation season. In the future, there
will be added costs associated with monitoring the loading rate on the irrigation fields and monitoring the
groundwater quality below the fields.
Since PCP is the primary beneficiary of the Study, PCP has committed to reimbursing the City $271,892
as PCP's fair share of the Study. Approximately $19,000 of the Study costs benefit the City through the
installation of monitoring equipment to be used in the future and sampling and testing required under the
APPROVED:

Permit. Staff will bring back to the Council a reimbursement agreement between PCP and the City of Lodi
outlining the terms and conditions of the reimbursement.
FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated cost for this work is $290,840. Staff suggests a contingency
amount of approximately 10% to account for unforeseen issues, for a total of
$319,000. The Study is required in the City's Permit and non-performance
would subject the City to fines.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Requested Appropriation: $319,000 from Wastewater Operating (170)

The scope of work presented in this proposal includes the implementation of the Organic Loading
Study Work Plan (dated April 2008) and correspondence with the Regional Water Control Board
(RWQCB) after the draft and final technical reports have been prepared. We have amended the
Labor and Cost Estimates based on discussions during meetings on July 14, 2008 and July 17,
2008. The Fee Estimate in Table 1 reflects the changes we discussed.
OVERVIEW
The following overview and understanding is based on the Work Plan prepared for this study and
Consultant's discussions with the City of Lodi (City) staff:
During the course of the upcoming PCP cannery season, the City will be conducting an organic
loading study to determine the appropriate maximum BOD loading rate for land application of
industrial process wastewaters at this facility. The details of the study are described in the City of
Lodi White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility — Organic Loading Study Work Pian,
April 200.8. The tasks outlined in this scope of work include activities necessary to implement the
study as described in the Work Plan.

testing prior to organic loading. We will inspect the soil column test benches and verify operation
of the dosing containers, percolate collection system, and related appurtenances. Soil columns and
percolate collection containers must be protected from wind and sprinklers for potential damage
or contamination of test results.
We will begin initial moisture conditioning once the soil columns have been collected from the
field (by City staff). Moisture conditioning is necessary to maintain forage crop health and
adequate soil moisture content prior to commencement of the BOD loading activities.
This task includes labor associated with the following items:
• Soil collection & inspection (pre -loading) in Test Field and Observation Field
• Procurement and installation of dosing containers, percolate collection bottles, hoses,
and appurtenances

Task 9. Outside Laboratory Coordination
Some of the chemical analysis/testing will be conducted by City staff at the White Slough WPCF
lab. However, additional testing beyond the treatment plant lab's capabilities is necessary to
complete this study as described. WYA will contract with outside laboratories for specialty
testing of percolate, soil, and forage crop tissue analysis.
To obtain the desired test data during the course of this study, we must collect frequent samples from
the test bench and field activities for analysis. Each soil column percolate, suction lysimeter percolate,
and grab sample from industrial and treated source will be tested individually for a variety of
chemical constituents. We anticipate the total number of (water) samples to be collected and analyzed
over the course of the study will be 747 based on the following breakdown:
• 13 grab samples — Raw Cannery Process Wastewater (directly from cannery for test
bench loading)
• 6 grab samples — Raw Industrial Process Wastewater (from industrial collection
system for Test Field loading)
• 13 grab samples — Treated Municipal Effluent (for test bench loading)
• 7 grab samples — Blended Irrigation Water (from irrigation ditch for Control Field
loading)
• 24 grab samples —Tail Water (from tail water collection ditch at end of Test &
Control Fields)
• 576 batch samples — Soil Column Percolate (weekly batch collected during cycle loading)
• 108 batch samples — Field Pore Water (collected from suction lysimeters during
cycle loading)
Each water sample will be individually recorded and split into approximately eight different
sub -samples for laboratory analysis, based on the desired testing regimen (standard minerals,
metals, nutrients, organic carbon, etc.).
This study will also require managing and testing approximately 270 soil samples and
approximately 50 plant tissue analyses during the course of the work. This task includes labor
associated with handling (splitting samples into designated preservative bottles, including chain
of custody paperwork) and managing laboratory analysis of the following items:
• Percolate samples from field loading
• Percolate samples from fields during rainfall event
• Soil column percolate samples from loading period
• Soil column percolate samples from rainfall simulation period
• Process wastewater grab samples
• Plant tissue samples

• Soil samples from fields
• Soils samples from soil columns
Outside Lab Costs
There will be a variety of outside laboratory tests required during the course of this study. A
portion of the laboratory work can be performed by treatment plan staff at the WPCF laboratory.
However, soil samples and additional waste constituent testing in percolate must be tested at an
outside lab. This task includes a ballpark estimate of laboratory costs associated with the
following items:
• Process wastewater additional constituents
• Percolate additional constituents
• Soil sample testing
• Plant tissue analysis
Note that odor study lab testing is included in the sub -consultant's work under that task
Deliverables: Laboratory test results
Task 10. Soil Column Destruction and Analysis
Following the organic loading and rainfall simulation tasks scheduled for the soil column test
bench, we will dis-assemble the soil columns and document the (possible) changes in soil
condition. Soil samples will be collected from each soil column, and analyzed according to the
testing procedures in the Work Plan. We will also collect soil samples from the Test, Control, and
Observation Fields for comparison with the bench scale test results. This task includes labor
associated with the following items:
• Soil inspection in Test Field and Control Field after organic loading period
• Dis-assembly and inspection of soil columns after rainfall simulation test
• Report of findings (soil scientist)
Task 11. Draft and Final Technical Report
WYA will prepare a draft and final technical report detailing the data and findings of the Organic
Loading Study. We will review data collected during the course of the study including reports
prepared by subconsultants, and include the information in the technical report. The technical
report will include recommendations for ultimate (average and single day) organic BOD loading
limits appropriatefor the City's disposal/reuse acreage, based on the study purpose stated in the
Work Plan.
