AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager to Execute Task Order No. 37 with
West Yost Associates, Inc., of Walnut Creek, for Permit Consulting Services
($39,200)
MEETING DATE: March 18, 2015
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt a resolution authorizing City Manager to execute Task Order
No. 37 with West Yost Associates, Inc., of Walnut Creek, for permit
consulting services in the amount of $39,200.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On January 13, 1999, the City of Lodi Council executed a Master
Services Agreement with West Yost Associates, Inc. for consulting
services for the implementation of the City's National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The City's new NPDES permits for the White Slough
Water Pollution Control Facility (WSWPCF) became effective on November 23, 2013 and include
NPDES Permit No. CA 0079543 for the operation of the wastewater treatment facilities and Waste
Discharge Order R5-2007-0113-01 for the operation of the land application areas.
In late September 2014, staff identified three inactive water wells located on the City property adjacent to
the WSWPCF that had not been properly abandoned. In accordance with State regulations, these wells
need to be abandoned to prevent them from providing a conduit for groundwater contamination or
interfering with the evaluation of ongoing irrigation and biosolids applications on the WSWPCF property.
Additionally, the State recently revised the Industrial Stormwater Permit, which becomes effective
July 1, 2015. Surface water discharges of stormwater runoff from wastewater treatment plants that treat
more than one million gallons per day are subject to the Industrial Stormwater Permit. This permit allows
for an exemption for facilities that meet specific requirements and that file a Notice of Non -Applicability
(NONA), along with a No Discharge Technical Report by July 1, 2015. If the facility does not qualify for
exemption, further work not included in this task order will be required.
Task Order No. 37 scope of services includes the categories of: Well Destruction Assistance, and
Industrial Stormwater Permit Assistance. The well destruction assistance will include development of
plans and specifications, permit work plan report and well destruction report. The Industrial Stormwater
Permit assistance will include a report confirming runoff can be contained within the property,
negotiations with the Regional Water Quality Board and completion of the NONA and No Discharge
Technical Report.
Staff recommends City Council authorize the City Manager to execute Task Order No. 37 with West Yost
Associates, Inc. in the amount of $39,200.

SUBJECT: Proposal for Engineering Services - Destruction of Three Inactive Water Wells and
Industrial Stormwater Permit Compliance
Dear Mrs. Garcia:
West Yost Associates (West Yost) appreciates the opportunity to provide this letter proposal to
the City of Lodi (City) for engineering services related to two main tasks: (1) destroying three
inactive water wells located on City property near the White Slough Water Pollution Control
Facility (WPCF) and (2) developing materials for the City to potentially gain exemption with the
State Water Resources Control Board's (State Water Board's) General Permit for Storm Water
Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities (Industrial Stormwater Permit). This proposal
provides background information for each task, as well as a scope of services, budget, and
schedule to complete the tasks.
TASK 1: DESTROY INACTIVE WELLS
Background Information
West Yost and City staff have identified three inactive wells on WPCF property that need to be
properly abandoned to ensure that these wells do not provide a conduit for groundwater
contamination and interfere with the evaluation of ongoing irrigation and biosolids applications
on the WPCF property. The following information, including observations from a field inspection
on October 6, 2014, has been obtained for the three inactive water wells, which will be referred to
herein as Wells #1, #2, and #3.
Well #1 is located on agricultural land (APN 055-15-15). A State Department of Water Resources
(DWR) Water Well Drillers Report (Drillers Report) was obtained for Well # 1 only. The Drillers
Report indicates well construction was completed on June 29, 1967. Although Well #1 has been
assumed to have been used for irrigation water supply, the Drillers Report indicates the proposed
use was municipal. The Drillers Report also indicates the well was constructed with 16 -inch
diameter steel casing from ground surface to a depth of 54 feet, 12 -inch diameter steel casing
from 54 feet to 104 feet with a screen interval from 62 to 80 feet, and a cement grout seal from
ground surface to 50 feet. However, during the field inspection the well casing at ground surface

was measured to be 14 inches in diameter; the well depth was measured to be approximately
80 feet. Well #1 is located approximately 12 feet east-southeast of WPCF monitoring well WSM-
7 and 30 feet west of North Thornton Road.
Well #2
Well #2, located on agricultural land (APN 055-15-004 or 055-13-013), is also assumed to have
been used for irrigation water supply. The well is approximately 60 feet deep and is constructed
of 6 -inch diameter steel casing at the ground surface. The well is located approximately 30 feet
west of North Thornton Road and approximately 1,100 feet southeast of Well #1.
WPII #3
Well #3, located on agricultural land (APN 055-15-004), is also assumed to have been used for
irrigation water supply. The well is approximately 132 feet deep and is constructed of 14 -inch
diameter steel casing at the ground surface. The well is also located approximately 30 feet west of
North Thornton Road and approximately 3,300 feet southeast of Well #2.
An unknown quantity of an oily material was also observed in Well #2. Information provided by
City staff following the field inspection indicated the material was likely to be a vegetable -grade
mineral oil used to lubricate a well pump (although no pump is presently installed at the well
site).
Scope of Services
The scope of services for Task 1 consists of the following tasks:
Task 1.01. Prepare Well Destruction Specifications and Obtain Permits
Under this task, West Yost will obtain the information needed to prepare specifications for the
well destructions and obtain well destruction permits. Pertinent activities would include:
• Identification of San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department -approved
well destruction methods and procedures (San Joaquin County Ordinance Code
Section 9-1115.6) and permitting requirements and fees;
• Evaluation of methods and procedures to sample, remove, and properly dispose of the
oily material in Well #1;
• Evaluation of methods and procedures to destroy Well #1 due to its close proximity to
monitoring well WSM-7 to avoid potential damage;
• Provide support to the City for its preparation of a bid request, solicitation, and review
of bids from California -licensed and San Joaquin County -approved well drillers for
two County -approved well destruction methods to determine the most cost-effective
method;
• Communications with San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department staff to
confirm well destruction methods and procedures based on well -specific conditions;
WEST Y Q 5 T ASSOCIATES w\m\c\1odi\Ip\030115_1 LP
Mrs. Kathryn Garcia
March 2, 2015
Page 3
• Communications with the City on recommended well destruction plans including
conditions at ground surface (i.e., depth of well casing removal and concrete cap); and
• Coordinate with the City, San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department, and
selected driller(s) to obtain three well destruction permits prior to destruction of the
wells.
• Provide support to the City for its contracting with the selected driller(s) and other
potential subcontractors (e.g., utility clearance, analytical laboratory, waste
transportation and disposal).
West Yost will provide a draft well destruction specifications to the City for review. Following
receipt of any comments, West Yost will finalize the specifications for use by the City in
soliciting bids.
Task 1.02. Implement Well Destruction Work Plan
West Yost staff will coordinate, oversee, and document the well destruction work performed in
accordance with the City -approved Work Plan by the driller(s) retained by the City. West Yost
staff will coordinate with the City and will provide required notices to the San Joaquin County
Environmental Health Department for potential inspection of the well destruction work.
Task 1.03. Report Well Destruction Activities
West Yost will prepare a Well Destruction Report (Report) to document the well destruction
activities completed. West Yost will provide a draft Report to the City for review. Following
receipt of any comments, West Yost will finalize the Report.
As part of this task, well destruction documentation will be provided to San Joaquin County
Environmental Health Department in accordance with permit requirements. DWR Form 188 will
be completed, signed, and submitted for the well destructions.
TASK 2: DEVELOP MATERIALS TO COMPLY WITH INDUSTRIAL STORMWATER PERMIT
Background Information
The State Water Board recently adopted a revised Industrial Stormwater Permit that becomes
effective July 1, 2015. Surface water discharges of stormwater runoff from wastewater treatment
plants (WWTPs) that treat more than 1 million gallons per day are subject to the Industrial
Stormwater Permit. The permit allows for a facility that would otherwise require coverage under
the permit to be exempted from coverage if the facility meets either of two "no discharge"
eligibility requirements. These no discharge eligibility requirements require either that the facility
is designed and constructed to contain the "maximum historic precipitation event" to prevent
surface water discharge or that the facility is located in an area that is not hydrologically
connected to surface waters. A Notice of Non -Applicability (NONA), along with a No Discharge
WEST Y Q 5 T ASSOCIATES w\m\c\1odi\Ip\030115_1 LP
Mrs. Kathryn Garcia
March 2, 2015
Page 4
Technical Report, needs to be filed with the State Water Board by the permit's effective date of
July 1, 2015.
A complicating factor in determining whether the WPCF would have no discharge and thus be
exempt from coverage is that the Industrial Stormwater Permit does not clearly identify whether
areas surrounding a WWTP that are used for discharge (e.g. recycled water irrigation, cannery
process water land application, and biosolids reuse) also require coverage under the permit. These
areas may have stormwater runoff to surface water because a portion of the land application area
is located within the 100 -year floodplain. West Yost has recently discussed the Industrial
Stormwater Permit with Regional Board staff to clarify whether the reuse and biosolids land
application areas surrounding the City of Galt WWTP are exempt from coverage, and this
assessment is under review by the Regional Board's legal staff.
If the WPCF is not exempt from coverage under the Industrial Stormwater Permit, then the permit
requires that Permit Registration Documents (PRDs) be filed and that a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) be prepared that evaluates onsite stormwater pollutant sources and
details Best Management Practices (BMPs) to control the quality of stormwater runoff from
the site.
Scope of Services
The scope of services for Task 2 involves evaluating whether the City can meet the "no
discharge" requirements under the Industrial Stormwater Permit and thus be exempt from
coverage. In addition, if the City is exempt, this scope includes providing assistance to the City in
completing the paperwork necessary to meet the Industrial Stormwater Permit compliance
requirements. The scope of services below do not include preparation of the documentation
needed if it is determined that the City is not exempt from the Industrial Stormwater Permit
requirements.
Task 2.01. Evaluate No Discharae ADDlicabili
West Yost will prepare a Stormwater Management Practices Technical Memorandum (TM)
detailing whether the existing stormwater collection facilities for the WPCF (not including the
land application area) can adequately contain runoff within the existing catchment and storage
areas during a maximum historic precipitation event. This assessment will also verify that the
WPCF stormwater catchment and storage areas are outside the 100 -year floodplain. In addition,
the TM will describe the City activities on the land application properties and their potential for
discharge to surface waters during extreme flooding events. The purpose of this TM will be to
provide the details needed by the Regional Board to make a decision regarding the applicability
of the General Permit to the City's WPCF and surrounding properties.
Task 2.02. Assist City with Water Board Negotiations
West Yost will assist the City in discussions with Regional Board staff regarding the stormwater
regulations. One meeting is assumed. Given the uncertainty of the applicability of the
Industrial Stormwater Permit, the specific work efforts under Task 2 cannot reasonably be
WEST YOST ASSOCIATES w\m\c\1odi\Ip\030115_1 LP
Mrs. Kathryn Garcia

Page 5
determined at this time. Therefore, the fee estimate for Task 2 is based on West Yost's best
estimate of the City's potential needs for compliance with the Industrial Stormwater Permit.
Services will be limited to work that can be completed within the available budget. All work
will be performed on a time and materials basis, and monthly invoices/reports will detail the
efforts and costs. Depending on the level of effort required, a scope and budget amendment
may be necessary in the future
Task 2.03. No Discharae Technical Report and NONA Documentation
If the WPCF is determined to be exempt, West Yost will modify the Stormwater Management
Practices TM to meet the requirements of a No Discharge Technical Report for City submittal to
the State Water Board. In addition, West Yost will develop the NONA documentation for City
submittal to the State Water Board.
BUDGET
The total budget for the scope of work described above is estimated to be $44,700. A
summary of the budgeted costs by task is shown in the table below. West Yost will perform the
work on a time and materials basis at standard company charge rates, and will not exceed the
estimated cost without written authorization. If additional budget is required to complete work
identified herein, West Yost will notify the City before exceeding the authorized budget amount.
Inactive Well Abandonment Estimated Fee
Task Description dollars
1 Well Destruction Assistance 18,300
2 Industrial Stormwater Permit Assistance 20,900
Total Estimated Fee $39,200
SCHEDULE
Work will begin upon notice to proceed from the City. For Task 1, West Yost plans to provide
the specifications to the City within 14 days of notice to proceed. The schedule for performing
the well destructions and completing the permitting will be determined following the City's
selection of the driller(s) and coordination with the San Joaquin County, Environmental Health
Department. West Yost will provide the draft Well Destruction Report to the City within 14
days of completing the field activities.
WEST Y Q 5 T ASSOCIATES w\m\c\1odi\Ip\030115_1 LP
Mrs. Kathryn Garcia
March 2, 2015
Page 6
For Task 2, West Yost will provide the draft Stormwater Management Practices Technical
Memorandum within 21 days of notice to proceed. The schedule for coordination with the
Regional Board and completion of the No Discharge Technical Report and NONA will be
contingent upon Regional Board review. West Yost will work with the City and Regional Board
staff to complete the documentation needed to allow for registration under the Industrial
Stormwater Permit by July 1, 2015.
West Yost appreciates the opportunity to provide these services to the City. Please contact me if
you have any questions or need additional information.
