4. Date checklist prepared:
September 23, 2003.
5. Agency requesting checklist:
As the agency initiating this proposal, the City of Yakima is the lead agency and
is requesting the checklist.
6. Proposed timing or schedule (Including phasing, if applicable):
The 2003 City of Yakima Water System Plan Update (Plan) evaluates the
existing water system and projects future domestic, irrigation, and water supply
needs in phases through the year 2022. Please refer to the schedule in Chapter 8
of the Plan for a description of the proposed capital improvement plan (CIP)
The Plan proposes phased implementation of a variety of physical projects and
administrative programs that would address future demands for the supply,
transmission, and operation of a potable water system within Yakima's water
service area. The Plan recommends implementing modifications to both supply,
distribution, and storage facilities in the service area to ensure that projected

and potential demands can be met. New water supply operations programs are
also recommended. The Plan recommends increasing the supply capacity by
installing new wells, constructing improvements to the WTP, constructing
additional distribution lines within the City of Yakima, replacing an existing
pressure reducing valves, and implementing annual operations programs for
water conservation, leak detection, and corrosion control.
The physical projects mentioned above are elements of the City's recommended
water system Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The proposed construction
dates for the City's water system CIP projects are listed in Chapter 8 of the Plan.
The Plan recommendations would be implemented in two phases: Phase I, a 6 -
year phase from 2003 to 2008, and Phase 11, the remaining 14 years of the 20 -
year timeframe covered by this Plan. Population and water demand projections
in this Plan were made for a 22 -year planning horizon. Recommendations for
the Phase 11 years of the 20 -year planning horizon will be reviewed and
modified as part of subsequent Plan updates.
The CIP projects listed in Chapter 8 of the Plan are subject to change,
depending upon the rate, location, and nature of future development within the
City and its service area and should not be construed as a commitment by the
City to complete a project by a specific date. Actual project implementation will
be based on subsequent environmental review, permits and approvals, available
funding sources, and scheduling requirements.
7. Do you have any plans for future additions, expansion, or further activity related to
or connected with this proposal? If yes, explain.
This Water System Plan Update is in itself such a plan. The Plan is required to
be updated every 6 years. Those CIP projects planned for implementation after
the year 2008 will be part of the next Plan Update and specific impacts
associated with these projects are not covered by this checklist. The appropriate
level of environmental review consistent with SEPA requirements will be
conducted for those projects in the future.
8. List any environmental information (studies, reports, etc.) you know about that has
been prepared, or will be prepared, directly related to this proposal.
Please refer to the accompanying Water System Plan Update for a more
complete discussion of recommended water system improvements. The SEPA
process will be completed for the general impacts associated with this Plan and
its projected changes to the City of Yakima's domestic water system. Specific
projects to implement the Plan either not yet sited (e.g., wells, WTP
modifications) and/or scheduled to occur after the year 2008 will remain subject

to subsequent environmental review as required under SEPA.
9. Do you know whether applications are pending for governmental approvals of
other proposals directly affecting the property covered by your proposal? If yes,
explain.
Ongoing industrial, commercial, and residential development throughout the
City of Yakima and its service area will continue during the life of this Plan.
The City of Yakima has prepared an Urban Area Comprehensive Plan in
conformance with the requirements of the Growth Management Act (GMA).
Water demand fore casts incorporated into the Plan's analysis anticipate
continued growth consistent with the City and region's growth management
planning. However, there are no significant changes proposed for Yakima's
urbanized area that would affect the Plan's growth projections.
10. List any governmental approvals or permits that will be needed for your proposal,
if known. Include Federal, State, City, County, and local districts or regional
offices.
a. SEPA -Department of Ecology
b. Plan approval- Department of Health
c. Water rights -Department of Ecology
d. Appropriate local permits for constructing water system improvements at the
time such improvements are scheduled.
11. Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and
the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist
that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat
those answers on this page. (You may attach a page if this space is not adequate.)
The Water System Plan Update analyzes the existing City of Yakima domestic
water system including water supply, storage, distribution, and operations. The
study has projected future water demands based on potential domestic needs.
Modifications to the existing domestic system are recommended to ensure that
projected water demands can be met. Future decisions and political or legal
actions (such as in regard to the City's water rights or irrigation conversion)
could result in the need for a subsequent plan update or amendments to this
plan.
The recommended water system improvements presented in this Plan relate to
four aspects of the system: the supply program, storage and pump station
facilities, distribution system, and system operations and management.
Recommended improvements to the supply program include modification to
the Naches River WTP required to meet regulatory requirements and

installation of new wells (Elks Park and two future aquifer storage and
recovery (ASR) wells) needed to meet anticipated future demands..
Recommended improvements to the storage facilities include installation of a
new control valve at the North 40th Avenue (Level 2) pump station to improve
utilization of the Level 2 reservoirs.
Recommended improvements to the domestic water distribution system include
replacing a valve at Englewood and 16th Avenues and adding ductile iron pipes
at the following locations:
East Mead Avenue Water Main -The existing 8 -inch main on East Mead
Avenue east of South 1 st Street is only marginally sufficient to convey fire
flows to the industrial area along I-82.
Viola Avenue Freeway Crossing - A 12 -inch pipe is needed extending from
the eastern end of Viola Avenue under I-82 to connect to the existing 12 -inch
pipe.
Long Fiber to South 1St Water Main - This project would connect the
existing 12 inch main in Long Fiber Avenue to an existing 12 inch main in
South 1 st Street to complete a loop which would serve this area.
Private Water Main Replacement Program - The City of Yakima has an on-
going program that replaces private mains less than 6" and complete loops in
the areas where the mains are replaced.
PRV Replacement Program - The City of Yakima is planning to replace 11
of the 13 pressure reducing valves as part of an on-going distribution system
maintenance upgrade.
Main Replacement Powerhouse Road to Level 2 Reservoir - Due to its age,
the 24 inch diameter steel main from Powerhouse Road to the Level 2
Reservoir is schedule for replacement in order to maintain the reliability and
integrity of this important component of the Level 2 system.
Recommendations to improve system operations programs include continuation
of a corrosion control program, leak detection program, wellhead and watershed
protection programs, groundwater monitoring program, and water conservation
program.
12. Location of the proposal:
The Water Comprehensive Plan would be implemented throughout Yakima's
water service area. The service area boundary is shown in Figure 1-6 in the
Plan.

Recommended improvements are in Table 8-2 of the Plan. At this time, the
exact locations of the proposed wells, are not known. It is anticipated that these
new facilities will be located at or near existing utility sites or on available
vacant land within the City's jurisdiction.
B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. EARTH
a. General description of the site (underline one):
Flat, rolling hills, steep slopes, mountainous, other varies
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
Does not apply
C. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example; clay, sand, gravel,
peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and
�' note any prime farmland.
The -soils types vary throughout the approximately 19 -square -mile service area.
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity?
If so, describe.
Does not apply
e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading
proposed. Indicate source of fill.
Some grading and filling would occur during pipeline replacement and other
construction projects.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally
describe.
Because the proposed distribution mains would be located beneath relatively
flat, already developed areas (e.g., paved roads), erosion from construction
activities for these activities is expected to be low. Similarly, erosion is
anticipated to be low at the WTP site as a result of improvements to be
constructed within the existing facilities. Construction of the groundwater
wells, could result in increased erosion, depending on the specific
characteristics of sites selected for project implementation. No erosion
impacts are expected from use of the water system improvements.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after
project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
City of Yakima.
September 23, 2003 6 Environmental Checklist

FOR AGENCY
USE ONLY
The projects identified in the plan are not expected to result in any increase in the
amount of impervious surfaces associated with the water system facilities.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if
any:
If required, erosion control measures at new construction sites would be based on
applicable local and regional ordinances and/ or guidance manuals. General erosion
and sediment control measures that could be implemented during site grading include
spraying water or other dust control agents on graded areas to control dust, placing
erosion control fences and/or straw bales at the toes of freshly graded slopes to reduce
surface water velocity and offsite siltation, and revegetation of graded areas as soon as
feasible after grading is complete.
2. AIR
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust,
automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the
project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities, if
known.
Construction of the recommended facility improvements would slightly increase air
emissions (i.e., dust and equipment exhaust) during construction by vehicle and wind
erosion over exposed earth surfaces. Clearing and grading activities comprise a major
source of these temporary construction emissions. The severity of construction
emissions is extremely variable, and depends on wind speed, soil type, soil moisture,
the type of construction activity, and acreage affected by construction activity.
b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odors that may affect your proposal?
If so, generally describe.
Does not apply
C. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any:
Construction dust can be controlled by watering disturbed areas. Active
construction areas will be watered whenever soil moisture conditions and
weather conditions result in visible dust generation. Dust -producing activities
will be suspended during period of high winds if dust control measures are
unable to avoid visible dust plumes. All finished grades will be immediately
treated with an appropriate soil binder.
3. WATER
a. Surface:
1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site
(including year-round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds,
wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide names. If appropriate, state what
stream or river it flows into.

The WTP diverts water from the Naches River, a tributary to the Yakima River.
The domestic water service area is bound on the East by the Yakima River and
on the North by the Naches River. Several creeks and lakes lie within the area.
2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the
described waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans.
No work is anticipated within 200 feet of either the Naches or Yakima Rivers.
3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or
removed from surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that
would be affected. Indicate the source of fill material.
It is anticipated that new facilities would be sited to avoid direct impacts to
surface water and wetlands. Potential impacts to surface water or wetlands
associated with future facilities will be addressed under subsequent SEPA
environmental review.
4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give
general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known.
The City currently diverts about 23 MGD at the treatment plant to meet peak demands.
Additional groundwater rights would likely be needed by 2008 to 2010, depending on
the success of the conservation program at reducing peak demands.
5) Does the proposal lie within a 100 -year floodplain? If so, note location on the
site plan.
Portions of the service area are within the 100 -year floodplain. The only known
projects planned within a floodplain are the WTP improvements.
Environmentally acceptable construction methods and protection features will
be incorporated during planning and design of these facilities, most of which
will be installed within existing structures or buildings. In addition, an existing
dike separates WTP facilities from the Naches River, therefore, no significant
impacts are anticipated from construction within this floodplain area. Any
potential impacts associated with construction of other facilities within a
floodplain will be addressed under separate SEPA reviews.
6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters?
If so, describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge.
No wastes would be discharged into the ground as a result of the proposed project.
b. Ground:
1) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to ground
water? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if
known.
Historically, the City of Yakima has used groundwater only as an emergency
source of supply. The capacity of its existing emergency ground water sources
totals 11.6 MGD. One existing groundwater right which is not currently fully

utilized is the Ranney Well right. The original Ranney Well water right was for
5000 gpm and can be used year around. Of this 5000 gpm, 2000 gpm will be
transferred to the Kissel Park Well (one of the emergency wells). This leaves
3000 gpm which could be transferred to anew well. A new 3000 gpm deep
well is proposed using this existing water right. The proposed location for the
new 3000 gpm deep well is the Elks Park located in the northeast section of
Yakima. The property is already owned by the City.
2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic
tanks or other sources, if any (for example: Domestic sewage; industrial,
containing the following chemicals; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general
size of the system, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the
number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve.
No waste material would be discharged into ground or surface waters as a result
of the proposed project.
Water Runoff (including storm water):
1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of
collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this
water flow? Will the water flow into other waters? If so, describe.
No increase in the amount of impervious surfaces or run-off are anticipated as a
result of the improvements identified in the plan.
2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally
describe.
No waste material would be discharged into ground or surface waters as a result
of the proposed project.
Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water impacts,
if any:
In addition to implementing a water conservation program, replacing obsolete
and deteriorated water mains will also help to conserve water. Developing a
leak detection program will also help protect impacts to groundwater supplies.

b. What kind and amount of vegetation will be removed or altered?
Slight amounts of vegetation could be disturbed during construction projects for new
pipelines, as well as during construction of other recommended facilities (i.e., WTP
improvements). In general, the proposed construction sites would be located in fairly
developed urban settings, away from environmentally sensitive areas. Therefore,
impacts to plants attributable to Plan implementation would be expected to be minor.
Further environmental analysis under SEPA will be conducted to determine if any site-
specific impacts would have to vegetation as a result of implementation of individual
projects yet to be sited. See attached Supplement D.2 for additional discussion.

heating, manufacturing, etc.
The City uses electric energy to run its pump stations, treatment facilities, and
automated controls. Constructing a new supply well and WTP improvements,
will increase the amount of energy consumed. In addition, construction
activities would require the use of gasoline for fuel. Also, see attached
Supplement D.3.
b. Would your project affect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent properties?
If so, generally describe.
Does not apply.
C. What kinds of energy conservation features are included in the plans of this
proposal? List other proposed measures to reduce or control energy impacts, if any:
High -efficiency electric motors will be used at the new well and for WTP
improvements. The Plan also includes implementation of leak detection, identification
of additional water conservation measures.
7. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
a. Are there any environmental health hazards, including exposure to toxic chemicals,
risk of fire and explosion, spill, or hazardous waste, that could occur as a result of
this proposal? If so, describe.
Does not apply.
1) Describe special emergency services that might be required?
Does not apply.
2) Proposed measures to reduce or control environmental health hazards, if any:
Implementation of the proposed improvements will eliminate the use of
chlorine gas at the WTP and at the emergency wells. On-site chlorine
generation will be used at the WTP and chlorine tablets will be used at the
wells.
b. NOISE
1) What types of noise exist in the area which may affect your project (for
example: traffic, equipment, operation, other)?
Does not apply.
2) What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated with the
project on a short-term or long-term basis (for example: traffic, construction,
operation, other)? Indicate what hour's noise would come from the site.
Short-term noise impacts would occur during construction hours. Operation of the new
pump station would likely be located near existing facilities and/or in urbanized areas
and would not significantly increase existing noise levels associated with traffic and/or
City of Yakima.

facility operations. Also, see attached Supplement D.I.
3) Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any:
Potential noise impacts would be considered in site selection and facility design as
well as in future SEPA reviews. Noise generation would be subject to local and state
regulations. If necessary, new facilities would be required to incorporate noise
abatement devices to control noise emissions within regulated standards.

C. Proposed measures to reduce or control housing impacts, if any:
Does not apply.
10. AESTHETICS
a. What is the tallest height of any proposed structure(s), not including antennas;
what is the principal exterior building material(s) proposed?
The tallest height of any new structures will be the well houses for the new
wells. They will have a height of 12 to 14 feet and will also include a small
antenna for the telemetry system. The exact height of the antenna has yet to be
determined but would probably be 30 feet or less.
b. What views in the immediate vicinity would be altered or obstructed?
Proposed distribution mains and the groundwater well are subsurface facilities
and would therefore not alter or obstruct any views. The new well houses would
also likely be located in already developed, urbanized settings; therefore, it is
not anticipated that these projects would alter or obstruct any scenic views.
Future site-specific SEPA review for these proposed new facilities will address
potential aesthetic impacts in more detail.
C. Proposed measures to reduce or control aesthetic impacts, if any:
The planning and design of projects recommended in the Plan would carefully
consider aesthetic values. It is anticipated that new above -grade facilities (i.e.,
well houses) would likely be located in already developed, urbanized settings
and therefore would not have a significant adverse aesthetic effect on local
visual resources.
11 LIGHT AND GLARE
a. What types of light or glare will the proposal produce? What time of day would it
mainly occur?
Operation of the new wells could introduce new sources of light into the
vicinity of the project sites for these facilities, including night lighting.
b. Could light or glare from the finished project be a safety hazard of interfere with
views?
It is anticipated that new above -grade facilities (i.e, well houses) would likely
be located in urbanized areas already developed with structures and outdoor
lighting. Any potential changes in the level, amount, or intensity of light and
glare at the proposed project sites are not anticipated to result in a safety hazard
or interfere with existing views. Future site-specific SEPA review for these

measures to reduce or control light and glare impacts in more detail.
12. RECREATION
a. What designated and informal recreational opportunities are in the immediate
vicinity?
The service area contains a large variety of recreational facilities and
opportunities such as parks, rivers, and lakes.
b. Would the proposed project displace any existing recreational uses? If so, describe.
The proposed distribution mains and wells would not have any effects on
recreational opportunities in the service area. Future site-specific SEPA review
4' for implementation of the other proposed projects will provide information on
potential impacts to recreational uses. It is anticipated that these projects would
not have an adverse effect.
C. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts on recreation, including recreation
opportunities to be provided by the project or applicant, if any:
Impacts to recreation would be reduced or controlled through the siting process
for future planned projects.
13 HISTORIC AND CULTURAL PRESERVATION
a. Are there any places or objects listed on, or proposed for, national, state, or local
preservation registers known to be on or next to the site? If so, generally describe.
The proposed distribution mains and well houses would be constructed in areas
previously disturbed, and therefore it is not anticipated that construction
activities for these projects would adversely impact any places or objects listed
on or proposed for preservation registers. Future site-specific SEP A review for
implementation of the Plan's other proposed projects will provide information
on potential impacts to these resources at or near project sites.
b. Generally describe any landmarks or evidence of historic, archaeological, scientific,
or cultural importance known to be on or next to the site.
Does not apply.
C. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts, if any:

FOR AGENCY
USE ONLY
Areas with known or potential landmarks or evidence of historic,
archaeological, scientific, or cultural importance would be avoided for proposed
projects, to the extent feasible, through the facility siting process. If new
facilities cannot avoid affecting these re- sources, impacts will be mitigated, as
necessary .In the event that archaeological or other important remains are
uncovered during construction, work should be halted until a qualified
archaeologist or other appropriate professional can visit the site to determine the
significance of the find and conduct additional testing, if necessary.
14. TRANSPORTATION
a. Identify public streets and highways serving the site, and describe proposed access
to the existing street system. Show on-site plans, if any.
Local streets will be used to access sites during construction of the Plan's
proposed projects. Many local streets will be temporarily disturbed during
installation of distribution mains; during construction periods, traffic may need
to be re-routed to avoid construction activities.
b. Is site currently served by public transit? If not, what is the approximate distance to
the nearest transit stop?
Does not apply.
How many parking spaces would the completed project have? How many would
the project eliminate?
Minimal parking would be required at the well sites. It is anticipated that
implementation of the Plan's recommended projects and programs would not
result in the elimination of any parking spaces.
d. Will the proposal require any new roads or streets, or improvements to existing
roads or streets, not including driveways? If so, generally describe (indicate
whether public or private).
The need for new public access as a result of this Plan is unlikely. The new
wells, WTP improvements, and distribution lines will be constructed in an
urbanized area serviced by existing roads. It is anticipated that no new roads or
road improvements would be required to service the new wells. However,
public roads may be temporarily blocked and traffic diverted during
construction of the proposed distribution mains.
e. Will the project use (or occur in the immediate vicinity of) water, rail, or air
transportation? If so, generally describe.
Does not apply.
f. How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by the completed project? If
known, indicate when peak volumes would occur.
City of Yakima.

Operation and maintenance of the new wells would generate approximately one
new vehicular trip per day per facility. Any potential adverse effects caused by
these additional trips will be addressed under subsequent SEPA environmental
review.
g. Proposed measures to reduce or control transportation impacts, if any:
The recommended projects would be planned and designed to reduce
transportation impacts. A temporary traffic control plan would be developed
and implemented during construction of the proposed distribution mains. This
traffic control plan would identify hours of construction and include a
temporary recirculation plan for rerouting traffic.
15. PUBLIC SERVICES
a. Would the project result in an increased need for public services (for example: fire
protection, police protection, health care, schools, other)? If so, generally describe.
Does not apply.
b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on public services, if any.
The Water System Plan Update includes many recommendations that will
improve public services. The WTP and distribution improvements, and the
development of new groundwater supplies will help ensure adequate supply of
domestic water and fire protection. Development of leak detection,
conservation, and on-going corrosion control programs will help ensure safe
and efficient operation and use of local water supplies.
16. UTILITIES
a. Underline utilities currently available at the site:
electricity, natural gas, water, refuse service, telephone, sanitary sewer,_septic system,
other.
Does not apply.
b. Describe the utilities that are proposed for the project, the utility providing the
service, and the general construction activities on the site or in the immediate
vicinity, which might be needed.
Electric service would be required for the recommended wells and WTP
improvements (the existing electrical service at the WTP is expected to be
adequate for the plan improvements).

D. SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS
(do not use this sheet for project actions)
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in
conjunction with the list of the elements of the environment.
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of
activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity
or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in
general terms.
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air,
production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of
noise?
The Water System Plan Update in itself would not have direct impacts on the
physical environment. However, the activities that may result from
implementation of the Plan could result in possible short-term construction
impacts or long-term site specific impacts. Although some recommendations of
the Plan involve legal, political, or managerial actions which would not directly
affect the environment, construction projects or operational changes that are a
result of those actions might.
The recommendations of the Plan do not suggest projects that would
permanently or significantly increase discharges to water; discharge emissions
to air; produce, store, or release toxic or hazardous substances; or produce
significant amounts of noise. Air emissions (in the form of dust) and noise
emissions would be generated during new facility construction. noise
emissions.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
Construction impacts can be reduced by watering and replanting disturbed areas
and monitoring the hours of operation within sound -sensitive areas. The
recommended facilities that are capable of producing noise would most likely
be located adjacent to similar existing water utility facilities or in an urbanized
area (e.g. , new wells).
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
Recommendations of the Plan would not be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or
marine life. The proposed distribution lines and contact basin building will be
constructed in areas of previous disturbance. Further environmental analysis under
SEPA will be conducted to determine if any site-specific impacts to these resources
City of Yakima.
September 23, 2003 18 Environmental Checklist
would result from implementation of other individual construction projects.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are:
The planning, design, and construction of facilities that have the potential for such
impacts would incorporate features to reduce the likelihood of occurrence and
significance.
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
Some of the recommended facilities would require electrical energy, such as the new
pump station, supply wells, and reservoirs. However, this increase in energy demand
would represent a small percentage of increase over that of the existing water
system.
As the demand for treated domestic water increases, more water would be withdrawn
from the surface water and groundwater sources.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
High -efficiency electric motors will be used at the new wells and for the WTP
modifications. The Plan also includes on-going leak detection, water conservation, and
corrosion control programs.
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas
or areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection, such
as parks, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species
habitat, historic or cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands?
Construction of the modifications at the WTP would occur within the floodplain of the
Naches River. However, there is an existing dike that separates WTP facilities from
the Naches River. Other recommended facility improvements and additions would not
likely affect sensitive areas. To the maximum extent feasible, facilities will be sited to
avoid sensitive areas. Any potential impacts associated with facility construction and
operation in these areas will be addressed as part of subsequent site-specific SEPA
review for individual projects not yet sited.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
The planning and design of the WTP modifications would incorporate environmental
protection features to reduce impacts associated with construction in the WTP
floodplain area. Environmentally -acceptable construction methods would also be
implemented to lessen potential impacts to shoreline areas.
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including
whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with
existing plans?
The recommended improvements to the water system would most likely be located at
or near existing water utility facilities, or in existing urbanized commercial/industrial
City of Yakima.
23, 2003 19 Environmental Checklist
areas, thus reducing the likelihood of incompatible impacts on land use. Construction
activities at the WTP would not alter the existing shoreline use at that site. It is
anticipated that the projects recommended in the Plan would not displace any persons.
In addition, projects that develop from implementation of this Plan would be done by
existing City forces or by outside construction contracts.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
Emphasis to locate new facilities at or near existing water utility locations would help
to avoid land use and shoreline use impacts. Although planning requirements of public
utilities are less restrictive than non-public projects, implementation of Plan
recommendations would be subject to local planning review for compliance with land
use compatibility, including applicable local land use ordinances, zoning regulations,
and other possible approvals.
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public
services and utilities?
It is unlikely that implementation of the Water System Plan Update would increase
demands on transportation, public services, and utilities. However, the existing
transportation system could be temporarily affected during construction of distribution
lines; this construction activity may require rerouting traffic during pipeline
installation in local roads.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
The Plan includes features that should have positive impacts on the quality and
reliability of public services. The storage facilities improvements, WTP modifications,
distribution improvements, and development of new groundwater supplies will
improve fire protection services and the delivery of potable water in emergency
situations.
7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal
laws or requirements for the protection of the environment.
The Water Comprehensive Plan should not be in conflict with existing environmental
laws or requirements. Implementation of recommendations within the Plan would be
subject to specific environmental review as required under SEPA.

7.68.025 Water services charges --When due --Suspension of service --Hearing procedure.
A. All charges for water service shall be due and payable at the office of the city treasurer on or
before the fourteenth day after the bill therefor is rendered. Water service shall be suspended to
any premises for which the service charge remains unpaid for a period of twenty-one days after
the due date, provided no water service shall be suspended until a written notice has been served
upon or mailed to the customer, at least seven days prior to suspending service. Such notice shall
state the date on which service is to be suspended, the amount of delinquent charges, and that a
customer may request in writing a hearing before the customer service manager or his designee
to contest the suspension, provided such request is received by the customer service manager or
his designee before the suspension date set in the notice of suspension.
B. Upon timely receipt of a request for a hearing, the customer service manager or his designee
shall conduct a hearing, and the customer requesting the hearing shall be notified in writing by
the customer service manager or his designee of the date, time and place of such hearing.
Pending the outcome of such hearing, no service shall be suspended.
C. In the event of a delinquency in the payment of charges for domestic water service to any
premises, the city shall exercise a lien against such premises by discontinuing water service
thereto and service to any such premises shall not be reinstated until all delinquencies and unpaid
charges against such premises for water service, and for cut-off charges, together with a fifteen -
dollar reinstatement fee, have been paid. Such lien shall not be for more than four months'
charges due or to become due, as provided by law, and shall be exercised subject to the
provisions of Section 7.68.271 of this chapter.
D. In the event the occupation of a premises is someone other than the customer, the occupant or,
in the case of a multiple dwelling, the manager or person in charge shall be notified in writing of
the date of suspension of service and the amount of delinquency at the same time such customer
is notified. (Ord. 2513 § 1, 1981; Ord. 2261 § 1, 1979: Ord. 1019 § 1, 1968: Ord. 590 § 2, 1964:
Ord. B-606 § 7, 1944).

and the same shall be abated. The control or elimination of cross -connections shall be in
accordance with this section, together with the latest addition of appropriate manuals of standard
practice pertaining to cross -connection control approved by the secretary. The manager shall
have the authority to establish requirements more stringent than state regulations if he deems that
the conditions so dictate. The purveyor shall adopt rules and regulations as necessary to carry out
the provisions of this section.
B. Use of Backflow Prevention Devices.
(1) Backflow prevention devices shall be installed at the time on the premises or the materials
used in connection with service connection or within any premises where, in the judgment of the
purveyor, the nature and extent of the activities, or the materials stored on the premises, would
present an immediate and dangerous hazard to health and/or be deleterious to the quality of water
should a cross -connection occur; even though such cross -connection does not exist at the time
the backflow prevention devices shall be installed under circumstances including but not limited
to the following:
(a) Premises having an auxiliary water supply, unless the quality of the auxiliary supply is
acceptable to the purveyor.
(b) Premises having internal cross -connections that are not correctable, or intricate plumbing
arrangements which make it impracticable to ascertain whether or not cross -connections exist.
(c) Premises where entry is restricted so that inspections for cross -connections cannot be made
with sufficient frequency or at sufficiently short notice to assure that cross -connections do not
exist.
(d) Premises having a repeated history of cross -connections being established or re-established.
(e) Premises on which any substance is handled under pressure so as to permit entry into the
public water supply, or where a cross -connection could reasonably be expected to occur. This
shall include the handling of process waters and cooling waters.
(f) Premises where materials of toxic or hazardous nature are handled in such a way that if back
siphonage should occur, a serious health hazard might result.
(g) The following types of facilities will fall into one of the above categories where a backflow
prevention device is required to protect the public water supply. A backflow prevention device
shall be installed at these facilities unless the purveyor and secretary determine that no hazard
exists.
1. Hospitals, mortuaries, clinics;
2. Laboratories;
3. Metal plating industries;

9.. Radioactive material processing plants or nuclear reactors;
10. Others specified by the secretary.
(h) Other premises, as specified by the manager, where backflow prevention devices are required
to protect the public water supply.
(2) The type of protective device required shall depend on the degree of hazard which exists;
(a) An air -gap separation or a reduce pressure principle backflow prevention device shall be
installed where the public water supply may be contaminated with sewage, industrial waste of a
toxic nature, or other contaminant which could cause a health or system hazard.
(b) In the case of a substance which may be objectionable but not hazardous to health, a double
check valve assembly, air -gap separation, or a reduced pressure principle backflow prevention
device shall be installed.
(3) Backflow prevention devices required by this section shall be installed at the meter, or at a
location designated by the purveyor. The device shall be located so as to be readily accessible for
maintenance and testing, and furthermore, where no part of the device will be submerged.
(4) Backflow prevention devices required by this section shall be installed under the supervision
of, and with the approval of, the purveyor.
(5) The policies, procedures, and criteria for determining appropriate levels of protection shall be
in accordance with the "Accepted Procedure and Practice in Cross Connection Control Manual --
Pacific Northwest Section --American Waterworks Association, Third Edition," or any
superseding edition.
(6) Any protective device required by this section shall be a model approved by the manager. A
double check valve assembly or a reduced pressure principle backflow prevention device will be
approved if it has successfully passed performance tests of the University of Southern California
Engineering Center or other testing laboratories satisfactory to the secretary and the manager.
These devices shall be furnished and installed by and at the expense of the customer.
(7) Backflow prevention devices installed pursuant to this section, except atmospheric vacuum
breakers, shall be inspected and tested annually, or more often if necessary. Maintenance shall be
at the customer's expense. Whenever the devices are found to be defective, they shall be
repaired, overhauled, or replaced at the customer's expense. Inspections, tests, repairs, and
records thereof shall be accomplished under the purveyor's supervision by certified testers and
the customer will be charged according to the following schedule of fees:
(a) For air gap separation inspection $ 15.00
(b) For pressure atmospheric vacuum breaker test 15.00
(c) For double check valve assembly test 25.00
(d) For reduced pressure backflow device test 25.00

(9) Failure of the customer to cooperate in the installation, maintenance, testing or inspection of
backflow prevention devices required by this section and Washington Administrative Code 248-
54 shall be grounds for the termination of water service to the premises, or, in the alternative, the
installation of an air -gap separation at the customer's expense.
C. Cross -Connection Inspection.
(1) No water shall be delivered to any structure hereafter built within the city of Yakima or
within areas served by the city water until the same shall have been inspected by the purveyor for
possible cross -connections and been approved as being free of same.
(2) Any construction for industrial or other purposes which is classified as hazardous facilities
pursuant to subsection B(1)(g), where it is reasonable to anticipate intermittent cross -
connections, or as determined by the manager, shall be protected by the installation of one or
more backflow prevention devices at the point of service from the public water supply or any
other location designated by the purveyor.
(3) Inspections shall be made periodically of all buildings, structures, or improvements of any
nature now receiving water through the city's system, for the purpose of ascertaining whether
cross -connections exist. Such inspections shall be made by the purveyor.
D. Installation Permits. If cross -connection control devices are found to be necessary, the owner
of the property served must apply to the city of Yakima code administrator for an installation
permit.
E. Additional Remedies. In the event an improper cross -connection is not corrected within the
time limit set by the manager, or, in the event the purveyor is refused access to any property for
the purpose of determining whether or not cross -connections exist; delivery of water to the
property shall cease until the deficiency is corrected to the purveyor's satisfaction. In addition,
the purveyor may effect the necessary repairs or modifications at the expense of the property
owner and refuse delivery of water to the property until the cost thereof shall have been paid.

1. Application for such service shall be made in person to the water/irrigation division.
2. Water furnished through the temporary service shall be measured by a meter assembly, to be
furnished by the city, for the use of which the customer shall pay to the city the amount of one
dollar for each day the meter assembly is actually used. The minimum meter assembly use
charge shall be one dollar.
3. When the meter assembly is installed by city employees, the customer shall pay to the city the
actual labor cost incurred by the city, based in the then applicable payroll charges, including
overhead, for actual hours of labor involved, all as determined by the water/irrigation division of
the city, with a minimum one-hour charge.
4. The customer shall pay the city the actual cost for equipment used in making such installation,
based on the then current city rental rates for the actual hours of equipment usage, all as
determined by the water/irrigation division of the city, with a minimum one-hour charge.
5. The customer shall pay for water furnished through a temporary service pursuant to YMC
Section 7.68.251.
6. The customer shall return the water meter assembly in the same state of repair as when
furnished to the customer by the city, or shall be responsible to the city for the actual cost of any

B. Billing. Bimonthly billings will be rendered by the city to temporary water use customers, for
the applicable charges as specified in subsection A of this section and YMC Section 7.68.251,
with payment due within the same time as other billings for city utility services; provided, if the

C. Customer to Sign Agreement. Prior to the installation of the meter assembly by which a
temporary water service will be furnished, the applicant for such service shall sign an agreement
to comply with the provisions, terms and conditions of this section.
D. The provisions of this section do not require or authorize temporary domestic water service by
or through any other than the water lines or fire hydrants existing at the time application for such
service is made; and neither this section nor any agreement signed pursuant to it for temporary
water service shall be construed to require the installation or extension by the city of any water
line or facility to furnish temporary water service, either within or outside the corporate
boundary of the city. (Ord. 2001-26 § 8, 2001: Ord. 97-16 § 30, 1997: Ord. 2537 § 1, 1981: Ord.
B-606 § 43, 1944).
7.68.305 Abandoned services.
All service installations connected to the water system, that have been abandoned or that have
not been used for three years or that for any reason have become useless for further service, shall
be disconnected at the main by the water division, and all pipe and appurtenances removed shall
be the property of the city of Yakima. (Ord. 97-16 § 31, 1997: Ord. B-606 § 44, 1944).
7.68.310 Extensions of mains other than by city.
All extensions of water mains outside of the city limits shall be made either by the water division
at the expense of the owners of the property to be served thereby, or by the owners of said
property under the supervision of the water division and in accordance with the plans and
specifications therefor prepared by the water division, in which case the property owners shall
pay to the water division in advance an amount equal to ten percent of the estimated cost of such
extension to cover the cost of plans, specifications, supervision and overhead expense. (Ord. 97-
16 § 32, 1997: Ord. B-606 § 45, 1944).
7.68.315 Ownership and control of extensions of water mains.
Unless deeded to the city, all existing extensions of water mains and appurtenant equipment
installed by persons, firms or corporations, other than the city, shall be and remain the property
of such persons, firms, or corporations, and of their heirs, successors or assigns, and shall be
maintained by them. Any repair or maintenance work done by the water division as an
accommodation shall not place ownership in the city. In case a property owner desires to have a
water service and meter installed and to be supplied with water through such a privately owned
main, a permit must first be obtained from whomever owns or maintains such water mains and
such permit shall be filed in the water division. In case such a permit can not be obtained due to
there being no recognized owner or authorized person, the applicant for service and meter
installation and for water service shall be obligated to perform his part in maintaining the main
and to having water service discontinued if the main is not properly maintained.
All installations of water main extensions, additions and replacements, and appurtenances
thereto, outside of the city limits shall, when made in the manner stipulated in Section 7.68.310,
be and remain the property of the city of Yakima after all payments for installations have been
made or satisfactorily provided for, and after such installations have been tested and accepted by
the water division and after the persons or person responsible for the construction of the
extensions have relinquished all'right to or interest in the ownership of said extensions, such
extensions shall be maintained by the city and operated by the water division as part of the
distribution system and the water division shall exercise complete control over said extensions.
Nothing in this section or Section 7.68.3 10 shall be construed so as to effect the term of any
written agreement or contract binding on the city of Yakima. (Ord. 97-16 § 33, 1997: Ord. B-606
§ 46, 1944).
7.68.320 Street work.
All persons, contractors, corporations or any city department handling street work, such as
grading, regrading, filling, trenching or paving, etc., shall give the water division eight days'
written notice in case it becomes necessary during the work to remove, displace or change any
water mains, pipes, fittings, meters, gates or other water works' appurtenances that may interfere
with the prosecution of such work, and failure to furnish said notice shall make the contractor,
corporation or person, or other city department liable to the water division in case damages
should result from such failure. (Ord. 97-16 § 34, 1997: Ord. B-606 § 47, 1944).
7.68.325 Connection with conductors.
Any uninsulated conductor which may convey electric current shall not be connected with any
pipe or equipment which belongs to the water division, without the consent of the manager, all as
provided in RCW Chapter 19.28.
In case a city water pipe is found which conveys noticeable amount of electric current, the
manager shall immediately notify the owner of premises supplied by said pipe and the water
supplied to said premises shall be discontinued until the electric current is removed. (Ord. 97-16
§ 35, 1997: Ord. B-606 § 48, 1944).
7.68.330 Damage to water property.
It is unlawful for any person to tamper with or break, deface or damage any pipeline, valve,
water meter or other waterworks appliance or fixture, or to interfere in any manner with the
proper operation of any part of the water system of the city of Yakima. It is unlawful for any
person, except in case of fire upon the premises, to break or disturb any seal placed by the water
division, or to open any fire gate, or to use water through any fire service connection, unless a
meter is installed thereon. (Ord. 97-16 § 36, 1997: Ord. B-606 § 49, 1944).
7.68.335 Penalties for violation.
Any person, firm, or corporation violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon
conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not exceeding three hundred dollars or by
imprisonment in the city jail for a period not exceeding ninety days, or by both such fine and
imprisonment. (Ord. B-606 § 50, 1944).

Memorandum of Understanding between
City and Nob Hill Water Assoc.
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
September 6, 2000
The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding is to put in writing a verbal
agreement and understanding between the City of Yakima Water/Irrigation
Division and Nob Hill Water Association. This agreement is in regard to the
service area boundary between the two domestic water systems and also the
mutual aid arrangement between the two organizations involving water system
interties.
The City has prepared a City of Yakima Information Services GIS map dated
September 5, 2000 which delineates the existing boundary between the two
systems. Much of the area on each side of the boundary is already developed so
the boundary in this area will not change. In areas which are not completely
developed the proposed boundary line has been located in a place which has
been mutually agreed upon. However, this line may be changed by mutual
written agreement if it appears to be in the best interest of the City, Nob Hill
Water and their customer(s).
In line with the mutual aid situation the City and Nob Hill Water already have
three interties between the two systems so that water can be transferred from
one system to the other. This arrangement is for emergency purposes only and
is not designed for normal operation of the systems. These interties have been
used a few times in the past and have proven to be very beneficial.
Consequently it appears to be in the best interests of both parties to continue this
mutual -aid arrangement.

Memorandum
To: Dave Brown, Water/Irrigation Engineer
From: Bruce Benson, Senior Planner
Date: 7/14/2003
Re: Population forecasting for Water Plan Update
I have reviewed the population projection information set forth in Tables 2-21, 2-22 and 2-23 of the
April 2003 Water Update Plan. The use of Office of Financial Management (OFM) population
projections, together with GIS extrapolations based upon Yakima's water service boundaries and
census block information, provides for a definable methodology upon which to base water demand
forecasting.
It is unfortunate that OFM population projections are not formulated below the countywide level;
certainly with more specific small area information refinements would be possible. However, absent
that data it is preferable to base projections upon the best available information provided by
professional demographers, as was done, rather than to arbitrarily utilize presumptions.
Although my instincts are that the population projections may be somewhat overstated; I have no
better information to add to the pot and I cannot find fault with the use of the information that was
available. In any case, Yakima is a community where the average annual rainfall is eight inches per
year or less and given this fact I believe it is preferable that water forecasting be overstated rather
than understated.

System Description:
The Yakima Water System is normally served by the Naches River source. Water leaving the treatment plant
enters the low level zone and is used by the customers, while also entering the six (6) million gallon reservoir or
is pumped to the two (2) twelve (12) million gallon reservoirs or pumped directly into the middle level zone by
the Stone Church Booster Pump Station. The two (2) twelve (12) million gallon reservoirs supply the middle
level zone. Water is pumped from the two (2) twelve (12) million gallon reservoirs to the two (2) one (1)
million gallon reservoirs. The one (1) million gallon reservoirs supply the high level zone. The Gleed area is
served by a pump station that pumps from the transmission main running from the treatment plant to the
distribution system.
The high and middle level zones and the middle and low level zones are separated by pressure reducing valves
(PRV's) and closed valves. The PRV's only operate during an emergency and otherwise act as a closed valve.
The wells and/or Nob Hill Water Company intertie sources are used only in emergencies when the Naches
River Water Treatment Plant cannot supply the demand.
Sampling Information
Number Samples Required: Department of Health regulations require fifty (50) routine samples per month
from the distribution system and one (1) Naches River raw water coliform
sample.

System Description:
The Yakima Water System is normally served by the Naches River source. Water leaving the treatment plant
enters the low level zone and is used by the customers, while also entering the six (6) million gallon reservoir or
is pumped to the two (2) twelve (12) million gallon reservoirs or pumped directly into the middle level zone by
the Stone Church Booster Pump Station. The two (2) twelve (12) million gallon reservoirs supply the middle
level zone. Water is pumped from the two (2) twelve (12) million gallon reservoirs to the two (2) one (1)
million gallon reservoirs. The one (1) million gallon reservoirs supply the high level zone. The Gleed area is
served by a pump station that pumps from the transmission main running from the treatment plant to the
distribution system.
The high and middle level zones and the middle and low level zones are separated by pressure reducing valves
(PRV's) and closed valves. The PRV's only operate during an emergency and otherwise act as a closed valve.
The wells and/or Nob Hill Water Company intertie sources are used only in emergencies when the Naches
River Water Treatment Plant cannot supply the demand.
Sampling Information
Number Samples Required: Department of Health regulations require one (1) sample collected annually for
complete inorganic chemicals and physical characteristics. Sample location is
from a point representative of the source, after treatment, and prior to entry to
the distribution system.
Sample Location Point: City of Yakima Naches River Water Treatment Plant, 6390 U.S. Hwy. 12,

System Description:
The Yakima Water System is normally served by the Naches River source. Water leaving the treatment plant
enters the low level zone and is used by the customers, while also entering the six (6) million gallon reservoir or
is pumped to the two (2) twelve (12) million gallon reservoirs or pumped directly into the middle level zone by
the Stone Church Booster Pump Station. The two (2) twelve (12) million gallon reservoirs supply the middle
level zone. Water is pumped from the two (2) twelve'(12) million gallon reservoirs to the two (2) one (1)
million gallon reservoirs. The one (1) million gallon reservoirs supply the high level zone. The Gleed area is
served by a pump station that pumps from the transmission main running from the treatment plant to the
distribution system.
The high and middle level zones and the middle and low level zones are separated by pressure reducing valves
(PRV's) and closed valves. The PRV's only operate during an emergency and otherwise act as a closed valve.
The wells and/or Nob Hill Water Company intertie sources are used only in emergencies when the Naches

Sampling Information:
Number Samples Required: Department of Health regulations require .one (1) sample collected every three
months for Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM). Sample location is from the extreme
end of the distribution system, the farthest point possible from the source of
supply. Haloacetic Acids Five (HAAS) requires four (4) samples collected every
three months. Sample locations are from four separate sites within the distri-
bution system, which are representative of the entire system, with one of the
samples taken at the extreme end of the distribution system. Paired with the
HAAS and TTHM, two (2) Total Organic Carbon (TOC) samples are taken.
Sampling for TOC is performed on a monthly basis, one (1) sample is collected
from the raw water with a total alkalinity test performed and the second sample is
collected after filtration prior to effluent chlorination. (The WWTP is considered
the extreme end of the city's distribution system.)
Chlorine Residuals are sampled jointly with coliform samples at fifty (5 0)
separate distribution sites on a monthly basis. There are a total of 100 coliform
sample sites that are rotated, fifty each, every other month. These sites are
representative of the entire distribution system.
Sample Location Point: TTHM are sampled at the City of Yakima Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP)
laboratory, cold water sample tap.
HAAS are sampled at Reservoir Road Pump Station, 32nd Ave. and Mead Ave.,
129 No. 2nd Street and WWTP Laboratory.
TOC are sampled at the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Laboratory, one at the raw
water sample line and the other at the individual filters effluent sample line.

System Description:
The Yakima Water System is normally served by the Naches River source. Water leaving the treatment plant
enters the low level zone and is used by the customers, while also entering the six (6) million gallon reservoir or
is pumped to the two (2) twelve (12) million gallon reservoirs or pumped directly into the middle level zone by
the Stone Church Booster Pump Station. The two (2) twelve (12) million gallon reservoirs supply the middle
level zone. Water is pumped from the two (2) twelve (12) million gallon reservoirs to the two (2) one (1)
million gallon reservoirs. The one (1) million gallon reservoirs supply the high level zone. The Gleed area is
served by a pump station that pumps from the transmission main running from the treatment plant to the
distribution system.
The high and middle level zones and the middle and low level zones are separated by pressure reducing valves
(PRV's) and closed valves. The PRV's only operate during an emergency and otherwise act as a closed valve.
The wells and/or Nob Hill Water Company intertie sources are used only in emergencies when the Naches
River Water Treatment Plant cannot supply the demand.
Sampling Information
Continuous Monitoring: The Naches River Water Treatment Plant (NRWTP) continuously monitors each
individual filter effluent and the combined plant effluent for turbidity, free
chlorine residual and pH.
Free chlorine residual is continuously monitored at three sites within the distri-
bution system; in addition, pH is continuously monitored at one distribution site.
Daily/Weekly Monitoring: Daily free chlorine residuals are monitored at five distribution sites.
Total Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness is monitored weekly at the NRWTP.

• Complete all cells. Enter zero (0) if there are no backflow preventers in that category.
• Count only the backflow preventers that the PWS relies upon for protection of the distribution system. If
your records do not distinguish between premises isolation and in premises protection preventers, enter all
data in Premises Isolation section and check the box.
• Count AVBs on irrigation systems only. If you do not track AVBs, enter "UNK".
• Count multiple tests or failures for any particular backflow preventer as one test or failure for that backflow
preventer
• Multiple Service or Parallel Connections- Count each assembly separately
• Assemblies on Dedicated Fire or Irrigation Lines: Count as Premises Isolation Assemblies.
If PWS does not track AVBs Check here: F

12.08.010 Intent.
The city of Yakima is required by the State Growth Management Act, Chapter
36.70A RCW, to , ensure that proposed development not be approved unless
—11—
transportation improvements or strategies to accommodate the impacts of such
development are established concurrently with any proposed development that would _.
otherwise reduce the level of service of a transportation facility below the standards
adopted in the transportation element of the city's comprehensive plan. The intent of
this chapter is to establish a transportation capacity management system to ensure that
transportation facilities and services needed to maintain adopted minimum
comprehensive plan level of service standards are available concurrently with, or
within a reasonable time after, new development, occupancy, or use. This chapter
implements the goals, policies and implementation strategies of the capital facilities
plan element of the Yakima urban area comprehensive plan. (Ord. 2000-5 § 1 (part),
2000: Ord. 98-68 § 1 (part), 1998).
12.08.020 Definitions.
A. "Applicant" means a person or entity that has submitted a complete
application for a development or building permit.
B. "Available transportation capacity" means currently unused
transportation capacity within a transportation facility.
C "Concurrency" means that adequate transportation facilities are available
when the impacts of development occur or a financing plan is adopted which will fund
required improvements within six years.
D. "Development permit" means any land use or development approval
which may be granted by the city of Yakima.
E. Level of Service Standards. The "level of service standards" used in
transportation capacity tests are those standards specified in the current adopted or
transportation element of the capital facilities program.
F. "Planned capacity" means transportation capacity for a transportation
facility that is not yet available, but for which the necessary facility construction,
expansion or modification project is included in the current adopted capital facilities
plan and scheduled to be completed within six years.
G. "Transportation capacity" means the volume of transportation activity
(motor vehicles/lane/unit time) that can be reasonably and safely accommodated by a
transportation facility, as stated in the transportation plan, final report, dated February
1998 (or as revised, supplemented, or replaced), which is appended to the capital
facilities element of the comprehensive plan. For the purposes of this chapter,
transportation capacity shall be measured as eight hundred vehicles per lane during
peak hour, pursuant to city council Ordinance 2000-4.
H. "Transportation capacity test" means the comparison of the
transportation capacity required by proposed development and the available capacity,
including planned capacity.
I. "Transportation facility" means the classified streets identified in the
capital facilities element of the comprehensive plan. (Ord. 2000-5 § 1(part), 2000: Ord.
98-68 § 1 (part), 1998).
12.08.030 Transportation capacity test.
A. Application. The city's review of all applications for development permits
and for building permits for projects not exempted by Section 12.08.040 shall include a
transportation capacity test conducted by the city traffic engineer.
B. Procedures. The transportation capacity test will be performed by the city
traffic engineer in conjunction with review of proposed development projects and
building permit applications. The department of community and economic development
shall notify the applicant of the test results.
1. If the unused capacity of transportation facilities affected by a
project is equal to or greater than the capacity required by the project, the
transportation capacity test is passed.
—12—
IL
e
2. If the unused capacity of transportation facilities affected by a
project is less than the capacity required' by the project, the transportation capacity
test i9- -not'--passed. The project may not be approved unless transportation improvements
or strategies to provide capacity required by the project are established concurrently
with the project.
3. In the event a proposed project does not pass the transportation
capacity test, the applicant may:
a. Modify the application to reduce the transportation capacity
required by the project;
b. Demonstrate to the city's satisfaction that the project will
require less transportation capacity than would normally be required by similar
projects and that, therefore, unused transportation capacity is adequate;
C. Propose transportation improvements or strategies to
provide the capacity required by the project development.
C. Test. Proposed developments that would reduce the level of service below
the minimum level of service standard cannot be approved. For transportation
facilities, available and planned transportation capacity will be used in conducting the
transportation capacity test. The city will maintain administrative policies which
describe the methodology for calculating the capacity analysis. Such policies shall be
available for public information at the time of application.
D. Fees. A fee of two hundred fifty dollars shall be paid for each
transportation capacity test, except that this fee shall be waived for one subsequent test

CITY OF YAKIMA
1999
The latest edition of the Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and
Municipal Construction prepared by the Washington State Department of
Transportation and the Washington State Chapter of the American Public
Works Association and all currant applicable amendments is, by this
supplemented hereinafter. Each section of the Standard Specifications shall
be considered as much a part of these Specifications as if they were actually
set forth herein.
NOTE: Division 1 of the APWA Supplement of the WSDOT/APWA Standard
Specifications shall take precedence over these sections of Division 1 to
which they apply.
All sections of the Standard Specifications shall apply to this project as
appropriate, except as modified by these Special Provisions.
All measurement and payment sections within the Standard Specifications are
deleted for privately funded construction projects. The Developer shall be
responsible for payment of all costs for the project and for procuring a

2-07 WATERING
2-07.3 Construction Requirements
Add the following new section.
2-07.3(A) Water Supplied From Hydrants
The Contractor shall secure permission from and comply with all requirements
of the water utility before obtaining water from fire hydrants. The Contractor
shall notify the Engineer as soon as permission has been granted.
The contractor shall use hydrant wrenches only to open hydrants. The hydrant
valve must be open full, since a partially opened valve causes damage. A
metered hydrant connection furnished by the water utility shall be used as an
auxiliary valve on the outlet line for control purposes. Fire hydrant valves
must be closed slowly to avoid a surge in the system, which creates undue
pressure on water lines. The Contractor shall carefully note the importance of
following these directions.
If a hydrant is damaged, the Contractor shall immediately notify the water
utility so that the damage can be repaired as quickly as possible.
Upon completing the use of the hydrants, the Contractor shall notify the water
utility so that the hydrants may be inspected for possible damage. The
Contractor will repair any damage resulting from the use of the hydrants by
the Contractor, to the satisfaction of the water utility.
The Contractor shall fumish all equipment and tools, except the metered
hydrant connection, that may be necessary to meet the requirements of the
water distribution agency pertaining to hydrant use.
Any violation of these requirements may result in fines and damage costs
resulting from the malfunctioning of damaged fire hydrants, in the event of fire.
The Contractor shall convey the water from the nearest convenient hydrant or
other source at his own expense.
5-04 ASPHALT CONCRETE PAVEMENT
5-04.3(7)A Mix -Design
Delete reference to Section 9-03.8(6)A
5-04.3(10)B Control
This section is revised to read:
For asphalt concrete Classes A, B, E, F and G, where paving is in traffic
lanes, including lanes for ramps, truck climbing, weaving speed changes and
left turn channelization and the specified compacted course thickness is
greater than 0.10 foot, the acceptable level of compaction shall be a minimum
of 91 percent of the maximum density as determined by WSDOT
705/AASHTO T209. The level of compaction attained will be determined as
the average of not less that 5 nuclear density gauge tests taken on the day
the mix is placed (after completion of the finish rolling) at randomly selected
locations within each lot. The quantity represented by each lot will be no
greater than a single day's production or approximately 400 tons, whichever is
less.
Control lots not meeting the minimum density standard shall be removed and
replaced with satisfactory material.
Cores may be used as an alternative to the nuclear density gauge tests. When
cores are taken by the Engineer at the request of the contractor, the request
shall be made by noon of the first working day following placement of the mix.
The Engineer shall be reimbursed for the coring expense at the rate of $75
per core when the core indicates the acceptance level of compaction within a
lot has not been achieved.
At the start of paving, if requested by the Contractor, a compaction test section
shall be constructed as directed by the Engineer to determine the
compatibility of the mix design. Compatibility shall be based on the ability of
the mix to attain the specified minimum density (91 percent of the maximum
density determined by WSDOT Test Method 705/AASHTO t209). Following
determination of compatibility, the Contractor is responsible for the control of
the compaction effort. If the Contractor does not request a test section, the
mix will be considered compatible.
Asphalt Concrete Classes A, B, E, F and G constructed under conditions other
than listed above shall be compacted on the basis of a test point evaluation of
the compaction train. The test point evaluation shall be performed in
accordance with instructions from the Engineer. The number of passes with
an approved compaction train, required to attain the maximum test point
density, shall be used on all subsequent paving.
The Contractor shall provide adequate platforms to enable samples to be
obtained without the Engineer entering the hauling vehicle.
Acceptance testing for compliance of asphalt content will use the Nuclear
Asphalt Gauge procedure: WSDOT Test Method 722-T Acceptance testing for
compliance of gradation will use the Quick Determination of Aggregate
Gradation Using Alternative Solvent Procedure: WSDOT Test Method 723-T.
Asphalt Concrete Class D and pre -leveling mix shall be compacted to the
satisfaction of the Engineer.
In addition to randomly selected locations for the tests of the control lot, the
Engineer reserves the right to test any area which appears defective and to
require the further compaction of areas that fall below acceptable density
readings. These additional tests shall not impact the compaction evaluation of
the entire control lot.
5-04.3(13) Surface Smoothness
Add to last paragraph:
This work consists of adjusting utility structures to finished grade. The
contractor shall furnish and install new castings on existing public utility
structures and monument cases that are being adjusted.
Utility Castings shall not be adjusted until the contractor completes the
pavement, at which time the center of each structure shall be located from
references previously established.
The asphalt concrete pavement shall be cut and removed to a neat circle, the
diameter of which shall be equal to the outside diameter of the frame plus 2
feet. The new frame shall be placed on cement concrete blocks or adjustment
rings and wedged up to the desired grade. The base materials shall be
removed and class 3000 cement concrete shall be placed within the entire
volume of the excavation up to, but not to exceed 1 '/2 inches below the
finished pavement surface.
The concrete, the edges of the asphalt concrete pavement, and the outer
edge of the casting shall be painted with hot asphalt cement. Class G asphalt
concrete shall then be placed and compacted with hand tampers and a
patching roller.
The completed patch shall match the existing paved surface for texture,
density and uniformity of grade. The joint between the patch and the existing
pavement shall be painted with hot asphalt cement or asphalt emulsion and
shall immediately covered with dry sand before the asphalt cement solidifies.
5-04.3(17) Paving under Traffic
Revise the last sentence to read:
All costs in connection with performing the work in accordance with these
requirements, including the cost of temporary pavement marking, shall be
borne by the contractor or developer.
5-04.5(1) Quality Assurance Price Adjustment
This section is deleted for private construction projects.

PROCEDURES
Step I
The Owner/Developer shall, if other than himself, name and identify the person or
persons who shall be designated to act on his behalf on matters relating to the project.
This Agent may, at the Owner/Developer's discretion and direction, be the Consulting
Engineer.
The Owner/Developer shall retain the services of a Consulting Engineer, licensed to
practice Civil Engineering in the State of Washington, who is qualified to perform the
required engineering services to design, and construction stake/survey, as required, of
the proposed public improvements.
If, at any time during the term of the permit, the Owner/Developer shall terminate or
reduce the level of the services of the Consulting Engineer or the designated Agent as
specifically identified and accepted by the City, the Owner/Developer shall immediately
notify the City.
The Owner/Developer and his Consulting Engineer is encouraged to request and
schedule a predesign conference with the City for the purpose of establishing project
guidelines and requirements and to establish an appropriate working relationship with
the City so that the reviews, approvals, and construction can be expedited.
The Owner/Developer has the overall responsibility for project management,
construction management, contract administration, permit acquisition and compliance,
and, if required, right-of-way acquisition. The City will work closely with the
Owner/Developer or his designated Agent in matters pertaining to the permit but the City
will not perform contract supervision other than that required to protect the City's
interests. Project inspection shall be a specific responsibility of the City, at the
Owner/Developer's expense. No work shall- be done before the party or --parties have -
communicated with and received instructions from the City inspector.
Step II
The Consulting Engineer shall submit to the City a letter from the Owner/Developer
verifying that he has been retained to perform the engineering services for the types of
K.CallowProc. Permit Pq Tricate 2
public improvements to be included in the project. As a minimum, the Consulting
Engineer's .services shall include:
a. Surveying required to prepare detailed engineering design construction plans;
b. Preparation of detailed plans and specifications;
c. Construction engineering and construction surveying/staking;
d. Preparation of "As -Built Record Drawings" (City inspector and the contractor
will provide field notes, changes);
e. Provide required certifications;
f. Such other work as may be applicable and identified.
Prior to commencing with design, it is recommended that the Owner/Developer and/or
Consulting Engineer meet with the City for a predesign conference. The purpose of the
meeting is to identify specific details of the project and review applicable design
standards for the project.
Step III
The Consulting Engineer shall prepare and submit to the City four complete sets of
detailed construction plans, profiles, cross sections, support data, design calculations,
special details, special specifications, and the improvement evaluation forms. The
Consulting Engineer shall prepare legal descriptions for all required permanent and
temporary right-of-way/easements and submit the descriptions to the City Engineer for
review and approval with the design plans. All right-of-way/easement documents will be
prepared by the Consulting Engineer and shall conform to the City's standard forms. The
Owner/Developer shall obtain and/or provide the executed documents for all easements
and rights-of-way. The City will record alf fully executed documents with the County at
the Owner/Developer's expense.
The Consulting Engineer shall be responsible for notifying, furnishing plans to and
coordinating the public improvements with all appropriate utilities, i.e., water, electric,
telephone, gas, TV Cable, etc..
The Consulting Engineer shall submit plans, specifications and other support data and
information, as required to the appropriate agency and shall obtain all necessary
approvals and permits, i.e., Department of Ecology and/or Health, WSDOT, Department
of Natural Resources, Corps of Engineers, or County Utility Permits and copies of such
written approvals or permits shall be submitted to the City prior to the City's approval of
the Owner/Developer's construction design plans and prior to commencement of
construction.
Step IV
The City shall review the submitted design material and shall return one reviewed and
noted copy indicating the changes, additions, deletions, or modifications that are
K.Callow/proc Permit Pt./Private
required to make the plans and specifications acceptable. When the revised plans,
specifications, -,and other materials are resubmitted to the City, the City shall review and
upon acceptance, approve the revised plans and specifications.
Step V
Upon approval of the submitted material by the City Engineer, the Owner/Developer
shall make application to construct the public improvements. The following items shall
accompany the permit application:
a. Payment of fees;
b. Copies of any required permits;
C. Indemnity Agreement,
d. Any other documentation as shall be required.
The fees will include plan checking and inspection fees, and such other fees as may be
identified as appropriate for the specific project improvements. The Schedule of Charges
for Engineering and Related Services have been established by the City Council.
For projects under 5500,000.00, the developer shall pay fees based on the percentage
method.
For projects over 5500,000, the developer may pay actual charges for City Plan
Checking and Inspection, or may use the percentage method. The City will provide the
developer an estimated cost for these services, and 1/2 of the estimated fees will be due
at the time of application for permit. Upon project completion, the second half of the
percentage base fees will be due, or for the actual charges method, the total costs will be
tabulated and the balance of the fees will be due.
For both types of plan checking and inspection fees, actual overtime costs incurred by
the City on behalf of this project will be tabulated and due with all other fees upon
completion of the project.
For the percentage estimate, the developer shall submit a copy of the contractor's
contract for the basis of establishing the fee and 1/2 of the estimated fee will be due at
the time of application for permit. Upon project completion, the developer will provide
the City with a copy of the contractor's final payment and the balance of the fee's will be
due. If there is a question as to the adequacy of the final construction costs, actual costs
for plan review and construction inspection, will be used as the basis for the fees.
The Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance shall include, as a minimum, the
insurance coverage as follows:
Public Liability Insurance in an amount not less than 51,000,000 for
injuries, including death, to any one person, and subject to the same
limit for each person in an amount not less than 51,000,000 for each
K.Callow[Proc. Pem» t Pt./Private 4
occurrence, and Property Damage Liability Insurance in an amount
not less than 51,000,000 for damages for each occurrence.-.- ._.
Copies of the ACORD "Certificate of Liability Insurance" form and
the "Additional Insured Endorsement" form are included in the
Division 1, Project Special Provisions.
While it is not a specific requirement of the permit, the City recommends that the
Owner/Developer include in his contract a requirement that the Contractor furnish him
with a Performance and Payment Bond in an amount equal to 100 percent of the
Contract amount to insure the faithful performance of the Contractor and Contractor's
payment of all bills, liens, or claims. The Performance and Payment Bond shall cover the
warranty period. One year Warranty period will begin upon final acceptance by the City.
Step VI
Construction may proceed only after the City has issued the construction permit. A
Preconstruction Conference shall be held prior to the start of construction.
The City of Yakima will assign a qualified, experienced construction inspector to the
project at the owner/developer's expense. The Inspector shall inspect the work to see that
all materials and workmanship meet or exceed the plans and specifications, as approved.
The Owner/Developer shall cover all costs associated with quality assurance sampling
and testing and provide documentation of the results of the sampling and testing. The
requirements for sampling and testing are contained in the current edition of the
WSDOT Standard Specifications.
The Owner/Developer or his assigned Agent shall administer and supervise the
construction and will be readily available to take direction from the City relating to the
construction activities. Any problems that are encountered or changes required due to
construction conditions will be reviewed with the consulting Engineer and the
owner/developer. Changes that require any increase or decrease to the contractor's cost
will be negotiated between the owner/developer and contractor and will be the
responsibility of the owner/developer.
All construction shall meet the most current edition of the WSDOT Standard
Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction, the approved plans and the
approved Special Specifications. Special Provisions/Conditions shall be prepared and
submitted to the City for approval for any exception to the most current edition of the
Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction. All changes,
alterations or revisions to the approved plans or specifications shall be submitted for the
approval by the City.
The City shall have the authority to cause a suspension of construction when, in the
City's opinion, such work is not being done in conformance with the approved plans,
specifications, and the permit.
K.Callow/Pmc. Permit PpJPrieate 5
Step VII
Upon written notice that the public improvements have been substantially completed, the
City will, in the company of the Consulting Engineer and/or the Owner/Developer or his
Agent, make a final inspection of the construction. The Owner/Developer shall see that
all necessary additions, corrections, repairs, and/or modifications are made.
Step VIII
At the conclusion of construction and when all corrections and repairs have been made,
the Consulting Engineer shall submit a reproducible set of "As Built" Record Drawings
along with a Certification of Work Completion and a request for acceptance by the City.
The City's inspector and the Owner/Developer's contractor will provide the Consulting
Engineer with field notes of changes to the approved plans. It is the responsibility,
however, of the Consulting Engineer to assume conformance of the construction with the
plans and specifications. The Consulting Engineer shall also make all other appropriate
certifications and copies shall be furnished to the City.
No building or service connection to sanitary sewers, storm drains, or water lines will be
permitted until these systems have received final acceptance by the City, or unless
otherwise approved by the City for connections.
No permit shall be issued for any building construction until all of the public
improvements included in the permit are fully operational and accepted by the City
unless agreed to in writing by the City.
Step IX
When all public improvements have been completed in an acceptable manner, the City
shall certify its acceptance in writing . Final acceptance by the City shall not relieve the
Owner/Developer, the Consulting Engineer, or the Contractor of any liability, present or
future, for failure or omissions directly relating to the improvements as included in the
approved plans and specifications. The City's letter of acceptance shall specify the
effective period of the warranty.

AQUIFER STORAGE AND RECOVERY (ASR)
STATUS SUMMARY

ABSTRACT
The City of Yakima requires additional groundwater
supply capacity to increase the reliability of existing
water supply and to meet future demand. Aquifer
Storage and Recovery (ASR) may provide a means of
acquiring permits for additional groundwater wells. A
pilot test conducted during the winter of 2000-2001
showed a sustained rise In water levels after recharg-
ing 45.2 million gallons (135 acre feet) over 25 days
thereby indicating that the aquifer is well-suited for
containing recharged water. The distribution system
operated without disruption to regular customers,
and drinking water quality standards were met
throughout the test. ASR is considered to be hydro -
geologically and operationally feasible in the
Ahtanum-Moxee Subbasin in which the City of
Yakima is located. Implementation of a full ASR pro-
gram to increase system reliability and create a
desired 100% redundancy may require the installa-
tion of three wells designed for ASR recharge and
recovery.
INTRODUCTION
The City of Yakima commissioned a pilot test to
determine the feasibility of Aquifer Storage and
Recovery (ASR) in the Ahtanum-Moxee sub -basin in
the central part of the Yakima Basin, Washington.
The City currently relies on surface water sources (the
Naches River) as the primary municipal water supply.
Groundwater sources provide redundancy and
increased reliability. The current capacity of the
groundwater sources is approximately 50% of the
surface water capacity. Increased groundwater
capacity is advisable in case the surface water sup-
ply is interrupted for extended periods of time. ASR
may provide an acceptable means to permit
increased groundwater supply.
Three reports associated with the ASR pilot test were
prepared and provide the material contained in this
status summary. The technical compilation
(September 2000) addressed Issues of geology,
hydrogeology, water quality, engineering considera-
tions related to the ability of the existing distribution
system to deliver water for recharge without disrupt-
ing other services, and potential impacts of ASR
activities on other water users. The pilot test plan
(September 2000) provided specifications for retro-
fitting the Kissel Well for ASR use, a pumping regimen
for ASR recharge and recovery testing activities,
physical and water quality monitoring schedules,
and regulatory considerations. A pilot test report
(December 2001) describes the testing activities and
response of the aquifer and distribution system to ASR
activities, and associated water quality analysis.
These reports were shared with, presentations were
made to, and comments invited from, stakeholders
Including the Washington Department of Ecology
(Ecology), the Yakama Nation, the Tri -County Water
Resources Association, the Bureau of Reclamation
(BoR), the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the
Washington Department of Health, and others. The
BoR provided funds supporting the installation of an
automated basin-widewater level monitoring net-
work. A copy of the well log database developed for
the project
was given to
the USGS, and

regular access to the monitoring network is being pro-
vided to the on-going Yakima Basin groundwater
study being conducted by the USGS on behalf of the
BoR, Ecology and the Yakama Nation.
EXISTING SYSTEM
The existing water supply system consists of a single
primary surface water source on the Naches River,
and three backup groundwater wells (Kiwanis, Airport
and Kissel Wells). The Naches River (Rowe Hill) Water
Treatment Plant has a capacity of approximately 23
million gallons per day (MGD). Current peaking sum-
mer demand is approximately 23 MGD.
Occasionally, operation of the surface water treat-
ment plant service is temporarily interrupted by river
conditions (e.g., ice build-up or very high turbidity) or
engineering factors (e.g., pump failure or transmission
main maintenance). When operation of the Rowe Hill
Plant is interrupted, water service can be maintained
through the use of groundwater wells. However, the
groundwater capacity is only half of the peak
demand. In the event of service interruption of the
Rowe Hill Plant, full service can currently be main-
tained for several days through the combined use of
wells and above ground storage tanks before normal
demand will fall to be met. The construction of addi-
tional storage capacity and/or groundwater wells will
provide increased reliability and redundancy to the
water supply system of the City of Yakima.

OVERVIEW OF THE ASR PILOT TEST
An Aquifer. Storage and Recovery (ASR) pilot test was
conducted during the winter of 2000-2001 to assess
the operational and technical feasibility of incorporat-
ing ASR as part of the municipal water supply system,
The source of the water was the Naches River (Rowe
Hill) Water Treatment Plant located approximately
seven miles upstream from the City of Yakima. The
recharge well was the Citys Kissel Well, which is
screened 1,000 feet below ground surface.
Recharge to the Kissel Well was conducted for 25
days at a rate of approximately 1,200 gallons per
minute (gpm), A total of approximately 45.2 million
gallons (Mgal; — 139 acre-feet [AF]) was recharged.
After a storage period of 55 days, recovery was con-
ducted at a constant pumping rate of approximately
2,000 gpm for 30 days and approxi-
mately 89.7 Mgal (— 275 AF) was with-
drawn. The recovered water was deliv-
ered to the drinking water system of the
City of Yakima.

REGULATORY ISSUES
Pilot Test
All ASR pilot test activities were conducted using exist-
ing water rights held by the City of Yakima. The Kissel
Well was registered as an ASR recharge well with
Ecology in compliance with the Underground
Injection Control Program. Water quality testing was
conducted after retrofitting the Kissel Well in compli-
ance with the Safe Drinking Water Act. All water
recharged and recovered met drinking water stan-
dards. Ecology allowed the introduction and
removal to groundwater of compounds formed by
chlorination disinfection of drinking water during pilot
test activities.
ASR Rule -Making
Water right permitting of an ASR program is possible
under the water code existing before 2000,
However, one of the steps to permitting an ASR proj-
ect under the pre-existing code is to establish a
Groundwater Management Area through rule-mak-
ing for each area, To provide a smoother process,
the 2000 state legislature passed a bill to permit ASR
projects under a single state-wide rule. Rule-making
for this legislation has been on-going since the mid-
dle of 2000 and has been delayed due to realloca-
tion of Ecology staff to drought response in 2001.
In developing an ASR rule, two significant regulatory
issues are recognized related to implementation of a
full ASR program by the City of Yakima:
1. How much water may be recovered offer re-
charge (a water right issue); and,
2. Resolve potential inconsistencies between the
Safe Drinking Water Act requirements and ground
water protection regulations,
Water Rights for ASR
it is expected that water right permitting of an ASR
project will involve:
1. A primary water right for the source water to
recharge;
2. A reservoir right to store water in an aquifer; and,
3. Potentially, a secondary right for withdrawing the
water.
The rule making effort assumes that the primary right
will be obtained outside of the purview of an ASR rule
and is focused on administration of reservoir rights
and secondary rights. How the City of Yakima may
address each of these water right components is
described below:
Primary water rights: The City of Yakima, may use
existing water rights as primary rights,
Reservoir water rights: It is anticipated that reservoir
rights for ASR will be granted as long as there is no
impairment of other resource users.
Secondary rights: If required, the secondary right
will quantify how much water may be recovered. It is
anticipated that the developed rule will not prescribe
a method for determining this amount, but that each
project will be required to present a technical analy-
sis justifying how much water may be recovered,
Water Quality Regulations
Conventional ASR is typically considered for drinking
water purposes and uses water treated to drinking
water standards. Chlorination is the most widespread
means of treating water to drinking water standards.
In the chlorination process, disinfection byproducts
(e.g., trihalomethanes) are formed in concentrations
that meet standards for human consumption, but
exceed state -defined criteria for the protection of
groundwater. Variances may be granted by Ecology
for a maximum of five years after which they must be
renewed. However, renewing a variance every five
years creates uncertainty for infrastructure investment
of ASR facilities, bonding surety, and water supply
planning which typically operate with horizons of 20
years or more. New legislation or regulations may be
required to resolve inconsistencies between current
regulations regarding groundwater quality and the
practicalities of ASR.
ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS
After
Kesel Well reezrofe:".
The distribution system of the City of Yakima is well suit-
ed for ASR. The system includes a surface water
source that treats water to drinking standards, and a
transmission network that can deliver water to existing
wells, Hydraulic modeling of the distribution system
was conducted to predict what would happen to sys-
tem pressures during ASR activities, Enough pressure
is available to conduct recharge activities while main-
taining adequate pressure for fire safety and normal
water distribution services.
The Kissel Well was selected for ASR pilot testing
because it had the best construction in that it has a
surface seal extending to approximately 500 feet
below ground surface. This ensures the delivery of
water through the well to the deeper parts of the
aquifer system. The Kissel Well was retrofitted for ASR
purposes by inserting a bypass shunt to allow system
water to enter the well between the well casing and
the pump column, Entrainment of air in cascading
water within an ASR recharge well can sometimes
reduce well efficiencies. To avoid this in the Kissel
Well, recharge was conducted at a high enough rate
to eliminate air pockets and completely fill the well
with water.
A major operational consideration in ASR programs is
well efficiency. Suspended sediment, scale from the
distribution pipes, and/or mineral precipitation can
clog a well. Well testing before and after the pilot test
showed that well performance remained excellent.
During recharge, well efficiency decreased approxi-
mately 25%, but fully recovered after eight hours of
pumping. It is believed that pipe scale may be
responsible for most of the decreased efficiency,
Pipe scale will be removed with repeated ASR cycles.

HYDROGEOLOGY
The City of Yakima is situated in the heart of the
Ahtanum-Moxee Subbasin. It is a hydrologically
closed bowl -shaped basin bounded by Yakima
Ridge to the north, Rattlesnake Hills to the south, the
Cascade Range to the west and the Black Rock
divide to the east. Surface water flows into this basin
by the Naches River and by the Yakima River through
Selah Gap. The only surface water outlet from this
basin is south by the Yakima River through Union Gap,

irrigation results in higher water levels in this aquifer
during the summer that drop off sharply at the end of
the irrigation season for winter. This is a reversal of nat-
ural trends.
The Upper Ellensburg Formation contains two relative-
ly coarse-grained members separated by a middle
finer -grained members, Most water supply wells in
the valley tap the upper coarse-grained member,
The middle finer -grained member acts as a confln-
Ing layer to the underlying coarse-grained member
(i.e„ it holds the water in), The lower coarse-grained
member is the target aquifer for ASR
Aa purposes in which the City has com-
SOUTH pleted two production wells (Airport
,2WO and Kissel Wells), The lower member
is underlain by a clayey weathered
ER horizon of basalt which acts as a
confining barrier to the passage of
T' water. The presence of underlying
rc .
a: W and overlying confining layers make
the approximately 200 -foot thick
m' lower member of the Upper
Ellensburg Formation particularly
well-suited to contain water intro-
-: ^ l000 duced to it by ASR.

BASALT
There are three principal groundwater aquifers: the
loose sand and gravel (alluvial) aquifer at ground sur-
face; the Upper Ellensburg Formation which is the tar-
get of ASR activities; and, the deepest underlying
basalt aquifers. The shallow alluvial aquifer dis-
charges along most reaches of the rivers, Summer
_ -15D0 The structural geology of the
Ahtanum-Moxee Sub -basin is such
that the alluvial and Upper
Ellensburg Formations are not con-
tinuous between basins, Groundwater within the
Upper Ellensburg Formation flows radially from the
edges of the sub -basin and discharges upward to
the Yakima River immediately north of Union Gap.
Interbasin groundwater flow occurs In the underlying
basalt.

Karel Well water level plot.
ASR PILOT TEST
Water was recharged to the Kissel[ Well at a rate of
1,200 gpm for 25 days. A water level rise of six feet
was sustained during the 55 -day period of storage,
Following the storage period, water was recovered at
a rate of 2,000 gpm for 30 days. Of six wells in which
water levels were monitored within a 2 -mile radius, an
increase in water level was noted in all except the
shallowest well (180 feet deep), Water levels in the
recharged Kissel Well and the Airport Well, about one
mile away, stayed approximately six feet higher than
estimated background levels during the 55 -day stor-
age period. Both of these wells are completed in the
some lower member of the Upper Ellensburg
Formation, Smaller responses occurred at other wells
completed in the upper member of the Upper
Ellensburg Formation up to approximately two miles
from the recharged Kissel Well,
During recharge and recovery, a 1 gpm stream of
water was passed through a fine filter, and the cap-
tured material was identified using a binocular micro-
scope. During recharge, material consistent with pipe
scale was filtered out of water delivered from the dis-
tribution system. It is this pipe scale that probably
caused temporary diminished well efficiency. With
repeated recharge cycles, most of this pipe scale is
expected to be removed from the distribution system
in the vicinity of the recharge well. During recovery,
material similar to aquifer material was filtered from
water pumped out of the aquifer.
WATER QUALITY
Water quality analysis was conducted throughout the ASR
pilot test to:
1, Ensure compliance of recovered water with state
and federal drinking water standards;
2. Monitor any reactions resulting from mixing of
surface and groundwater;
3. Assess the fate of disinfection by-products; and,
4. Evaluate the degree of mixing between recharged
water and groundwater, and to estimate the
amount of recharged water recovered.
Water quality met drinking water standards at all
times. Disinfection byproduct concentrations
increased during the first 40 days of storage to a max-
imum of 22.7 micrograms per liter �g/L) for chloro-
form, and thereafter decreased. Concentrations at
all times were within safe drinking levels (the maximum
possible allowable level is 100%.lg/L). However, the
highest concentration allowed by Ch. 173-200 WAC is
7pg/L.
Using geochemical fingerprinting of recharged sur-
face water and the naturally -occurring groundwater, it
Is estimated that 70% of the recharged water was
recovered. The rest of the water presumably con-
tributed to the net storage of the aquifer,
ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS
The Comprehensive Water System Plan of the City of
Yakima identifies the need for an additional 9 million
gallons of storage for fire protection and other pur-
poses. The capital cost for storage is on the order of
$1.00/gallon, or $9 M. The available storage capac-
ity of the Ellensburg Formation is estimated to be in
excess of a billion gallons. The capital cost of using
this storage is on the order of $1 M per well, and it is
envisioned that three wells will provide the necessary
supply to satisfy fire flow and other Department of
Health requirements. Operating costs of running the
Rowe Hill treatment plant at full capacity during the
off-season in order to provide treated water for
recharge is minimal. Operational pumping costs are
similar for both an ASR program (pumping water out
of the ground) or for a conventional above ground
storage tank (pumping water into the tank and from
the tank into a pressurized distribution system),
Therefore ASR is considered the more economical
altemative to provide the needed storage.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Aquifer Storage and Recovery in the Upper Ellensburg
Formation aquifer of the Ahtanum-Moxee Sub -basin
is hydrogeologically feasible. The aquifer has signifi-
cant storage capacity and the response to artificial
recharge is a sustained rise in aquifer water levels.
ASR has also been shown to be operationally feasi-
ble. Recharge can be accomplished through exist-
ing wells, however using existing wells will not result in
an increase in the total withdrawal capacity of the
City of Yakima's groundwater supply system. To
increase the capacity of the groundwater supply sys-
tem, additional wells will have to be installed, Four
candidate locations considering both natural hydro -
geological and infrastructure considerations are
shown below.
Permitting of withdrawals is anticipated to be facilitat-
ed if they are operated as part of an ASR program.
Permitting of an ASR program would likely be facilitat-
ed by development of regulations by the Washington
Department of Ecology, Key regulatory components
that require resolution in order to provide permitting
surety for ASR programs in general include:
1. The means of quantifying the permitted amount
of water that may be recovered following
recharge; and,
2, How ASR operations using chlorinated drinking
water containing DBPs will be addressed under
existing Water Quality Standards for Groundwater
(Ch. 173-200 WAC).
The next step in advancing an ASR program is to
obtain the required permits, and sequential installa-
tion of ASR wells, including funding.

MAJOR FACILITIES -- SUPPLY
DESCRIPTION
PRIMARY SUPPLY
The primary water supply is from the tailrace of the PacifiCorp's Wapatox Canal which is supplied from the
Naches River at the Wapatox diversion dam and intake structure
At times when the Wapatox Canal is out of service, direct diversions of raw water are made through the head
gates of the City of Yakima's raw water intake structure The head gates do not have adequate fish screening
facilities, temporary screens shall be in place prior to opening the head gates During periods of extremely low
flows it may be necessary to erect a coffer dam to direct the flow into the intake structure This has been
accomplished in the past by using heavy equipment in the river to push up rubble from the river bottom to build a
coffer dam A hydraulic permit is necessary prior to placing equipment into the river Through this structure the
main source of supply is diverted to the City's Naches River Water Treatment Plant which provides complete
filtration and disinfection of this supply This water is delivered by gravity flow through a 48" transmission main to
the distribution system
SECONDARY SUPPLY
The City of Yakima's three wells are capable of pumping directly into the distribution system. Disinfection is
provided for at each site The three wells pump directly into the low pressure zone of the distribution system
These groundwater supplies are utilized as a secondary water source and are maintained in a standby status.
INTERTIES
The Nob Hill Water Association and the City of Yakima have three emergency interties between their respective
distribution systems
1 This intertie is located at the intersection of 56th Avenue and Lincoln Avenue. This connection is between
the City of Yakima's high pressure zone and Nob Hill Water Association's middle pressure zone. The City
of Yakima High Zone System pressure exceeds the Nob Hill Water System pressure by approximately 7
psi

2. This intertie is located at the intersection of 45th Avenue and Tieton Drive This connection is between the
City of Yakima's middle pressure zone and Nob Hill Water Association's low pressure zone. This intertie
was installed to provide a secondary supply to the hospitals on Tieton Drive. Utilization of the intertie for
this purpose requires the isolation of the main line in Tieton Drive to divert water directly to the hospitals.
3 This intertie is located at S 32nd Avenue and Ahtanum Road This connection is between the City of
Yakima's low pressure zone and Nob Hill Water Association's low pressure zone through a two way
pressure reducing valve Flow is limited to 2,500 gpm in both directions.
OPERATING MODES AND ALTERNATIVES
The function of the water system's supply is to provide a potable water supply for the City of Yakima. This supply
is additionally utilized for fire suppression, sanitation and public health, industry, irrigation and recreation.
Should the water system's supply cease to be available, the following alternatives may be utilized to augment or
replace the water system's supply
1 Activation of the City of Yakima's wells.
Failure of the water system's main supply to be available may require rationing or restriction of use of the
remaining available water supplies.
The City of Yakima's groundwater sources are ample enough to meet the system's average day demand.
Restrictions of water use may only be necessary during periods of the year when water usage exceeds
the average day demand
2 Activation of the interties with the Nob Hill Water Association
Utilization of the interties with the Nob Hill Water System as a sole source of supply would require
rationing This is because the amount of water available from Nob Hill's water system is limited, especially
during the peak use summer months. In addition, the hydraulic capability of the piping making the interties
is not of sufficient size to allow flows large enough to meet the City's needs. Therefore, isolation of the
hospitals on Tieton Drive will need to be evaluated to insure that their supply is adequate.
3 Hauling of potable water from other safe sources.
Hauling of water would only be implemented in extreme emergency when complete loss of the primary,
secondary, and intertie source of supplies has occurred
STWIV A -- 19 --

STAFF INSTRUCTIONS
FOR SUPPLY LOSS
POSSIBLE -- Spring runoff resulting in flooding and increased turbidities exceeding the
CAUSES: process capabilities of the Water Treatment Plant.
-- Extended periods of drought resulting in loss of river flow
-- USBR proration of water storage rights
-- Failure of 48 inch transmission main transporting water from the Water
Treatment Plant to the City's water distribution system
ALTERNATIVE 1: Activation of the City wells.
PROCEDURE. 1 Shutdown the Water Treatment Plant or reduce flows as required
2 Determine an estimate of the length of time the main source of supply will be
unavailable or reduced
3 If it is determined that the water in the storage reservoirs will be inadequate
to meet the needs then initiate procedures to activate the wells in the
following order- 1 Kissel Park, 2. Airport, 3 Kiwanis
4 Notify specific customers that wells are started (see current list)
STWIV A --
Emergency Op Guidelines
January 2004
ALTERNATIVE 2: Activation of the interties with the Nob Hill Water
Association.
PROCEDURE. 1 Contact representatives of the Nob Hill Water Association (telephone 966-
0272) and request that the appropriate interties be opened to allow water to
enter the distribution system
2. Meet the Nob Hill Water Association representatives at the intertie locations
and slowly open the control valves until pressure in both systems has
stabilized.
3 Monitor the pressure levels of the City of Yakima's water distribution system
in conjunction with the Nob Hill Water Association Accomplish this by
installing pressure gauges on respective system hydrants in the near vicinity
of the intertie&
4 Implement water rationing until the primary or secondary source of supply is
available.
ALTERNATIVE 3: Hauling of potable water from other safe sources.
PROCEDURE. 1 Implement water rationing until a sufficient supply of water is available to the
system. Notify Yakima County Department of Emergency Services for as-
sistance in this effort.
2. Notify the local Fire Departments that no water is available for firefighting
purposes from the hydrants.
3. Contact local tanker truck hauling firms and request assistance in water
hauling operation The local Fire Department's tanker truck located at the
City of Yakima's Fire Station #5 may be pressed into service.
4 Locate a safe potable water source from as close a potable water purveyor
as possible
5 Locate potable water tanker trucks at the City of Yakima's Fire Stations for
distribution of potable water to the public. Additional City of Yakima owned
property should be utilized, depending on tanker truck availability (City Hall,
Community Centers, Parks, etc.)

CITY OF YAKIMA
MAJOR FACILITIES - INTAKE
DESCRIPTION
The major features of the Naches River Raw Water Intake Structure are
• Head Gates to the Intake: The head gates are located at the extreme upstream portion of the structure
These gates are operated manually or powered by a gasoline driven power head The gates are used to
control direct river diversions Direct river diversions are necessary when an inadequate supply is available
from the Wapatox Canal The head gates do not have adequate fish screening facilities
• Pacific Power Tailrace: The main source of raw water supply is the tailrace of the Pacific Power Company's
electrical generation facility on the Wapatox Canal at Rowe Hill .
• Wapatox Canal Bypass: The canal bypass outlet is also located so that this flow enters into the intake
structure The water from this outlet is an alternate source of supply during times when Pacific Power's facil-
ities are off-line yet water is continued to be diverted into the Wapatox Canal.
• Radial Gates and Operators: The radial gates are located at the extreme downstream portion of the intake
structure These gates are powered by electric gear drive operators The purpose of these gates is to control
the outflow of water from the structure
• Bar Screens: These screens are located across the opening of the overflow weir and the outboard radial
gate overflow weir. These screens were installed by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife in
the summer of 1984 The screens are cleaned of trash and operated by Water Treatment Plant staff The
screens are installed except during extreme cold winter weather The purpose of the bar screens is to prevent
anadromous fish from entering the intake structure and moving up PacifiCorp's tailrace This is necessary to
prevent fish from being fooled by the natural attraction of the outflow from the intake as being a tributary where
they might spawn
• Concrete Wall of the Intake Structure: The concrete wall separates the river from the water confined in the
structure Water must be confined within the structure to build a head of water above the 54" pipeline so that
the water may flow by gravity through this pipeline to the Water Treatment Plant.
• Hydraulic Boom: The hydraulic boom's purpose is to facilitate the movement of ice and debris out of the
intake structure and back into the flow of the river This apparatus also has the capability of assisting in the
operation of the bar screens and the stop logs. The hydraulic boom is a 1085-B Case backhoe unit
permanently mounted on a concrete pedestal The electrical power unit and hydraulic pump and reservoir are
remotely located behind the electrical control building above the intake structure
STWIV A --
Emergency Op Guidelines
January 2004
OPERATING MODES AND ALTERNATIVES
The function of the raw water intake is to divert a supply of water to the Naches River Water Treatment Plant.
Under normal conditions, the Wapatox Canal supplies water to the intake structure through PacifiCorp's tailrace or
the canal bypass. The river head gates may be used when the canal source is unavailable for direct diversion of
water into the structure and temporary fish screens have been installed
Should the intake structure cease to function, the following alternatives may be utilized to accomplish some or all
of the same functions as stated above
Utilize the hydraulic arm and/or crane to remove debris or ice from the intake to allow flow of water to
reach the 54 inch transmission main to the Water Treatment Plant.
2. Divert river water directly into the forebay of the 54 inch transmission main to the Water Treatment Plant
by use of pumps
Failure of the intake structure would reduce or eliminate the water supply available to the Water Treatment Plant.
Should the system reserves be inadequate to meet system demands before one of the alternatives above can be
implemented, then the emergency should be handled as a loss of supply

STAFF INSTRUCTIONS
FOR LOSS OF RAW WATER INTAKE
POSSIBLE -- Washed out by floods
CAUSES:
-- Filled with debris during floods
-- Filled with ice
ALTERNATIVE 1: Utilize the hydraulic arm and/or crane to remove debris
or ice.
PROCEDURE. 1 Shut down the Water Treatment Plant or reduce flows as required
2 Determine an estimate of the length of time reduced flows can be
maintained This information is to be used to determine if the situation
requires immediate action.
3 If flow rate continues to decline or stops, contact the Water Distribution
Supervisor for assistance and dispatch of an operator for the hydraulic
crane
4 After flows have been restored, adjust flow rate or restart the Water
Treatment Plant.
ALTERNATIVE 2: Divert water directly into the forebay of the 54 inch
transmission main.
PROCEDURE
STWIV A
Emergency Op Guidelines
January 2004
1. Contact the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and obtain an
emergency hydraulic permit.
2. Secure heavy equipment for entry into the river, if possible, and construct a
temporary coffer dam to divert water directly to the forebay Note that water
may enter the forebay from the downstream side of the intake structure,
opposite the normal flow, through the extreme in -board radial gate when the
water level in the river is high If the water level is low then the coffer dam
must be constructed Or secure pumps to pump water directly into forbay
3 After flows have been restored, adjust flow rate or restart the Water
Treatment Plant.
CITY OF YAKIMA
MAJOR FACILITIES - TRANSMISSION MAINS
DESCRIPTION
The transmission mains are pretensioned concrete cylinder pipe and range in size from 54 inch to 48 inch to 30
inch.
54 inch = 3,500 L.F.
48 inch = 45,200 L.F
30 inch = 3,000 L.F
These mains were installed during the period of 1968-1972 Water flows through these pipelines utilize the force
of gravity only No pumps are required to aid the movement of water The 54 inch transmission main moves
water from the Naches River Raw Water Intake Structure to the Naches River Water Treatment Plant.
The 48 inch transmission main moves water from the Naches River Water Treatment Plant to the City of Yakima's
domestic water distribution system
The 30 inch transmission main moves water between the equalizing reservoir at 40th Avenue and Englewood and
the 48 inch transmission main
OPERATING MODES AND ALTERNATIVES
The function of the transmission facilities is to transport large quantities of water from the source to the point of
treatment and disinfection (Naches River Water Treatment Plant) and from this point to the City's distribution
system.
The 48 inch transmission main has outlets installed along its length at intervals of approximately every 1000 feet.
Connections to this main can be accomplished through the use of an existing outlet or by direct tap.
The hydraulic gradient, as it currently exists, is such that the 48 inch pipeline does not become full of water under
normal circumstances until somewhere between Eschbach Road and the community of Gleed.
The 48 inch pipeline follows Highway SR 12 from the Water Treatment Plant crossing the Naches River to 40th
Avenue where it turns south on 40th Avenue to Powerhouse Road The main turns and runs along Powerhouse
Road to Englewood Avenue at the intersection of Powerhouse Road and Englewood Avenue The 30 inch
pipeline between the equalizing reservoir at 40th Avenue and Englewood Avenue and the 48 inch pipelines are
connected The 48 inch main continues from this junction along Englewood Avenue to the intersection of 16th
Avenue and Cherry Avenue where the 48 inch pipeline terminates with several distribution pipelines radiating out
from this terminus
Should the transmission facility cease to function between the source and 40th Avenue then this loss will be

MAJOR FACILITIES - NACHES RIVER WATER TREATMENT PLANT
DESCRIPTION
The existing Naches River Water Treatment Plant (WTP) has a rated capacity of 25 MGD with a direct filtration
process. Raw water enters the plant from the Naches River intake via a 54 inch raw water transmission main
The main is reduced in size and controlled by a 36 inch influent valve
OPERATING MODES AND ALTERNATIVES
Chemicals are applied at the flash mix chamber, which provides a mixing time of approximately 2-1/2 minutes.
The chemically treated water discharges into one of two contact basins with a total detention time of about 30 to
75 minutes. The effluent from the contact basin flows to the filters, which discharge to a very small clearwell
(Please refer to the treatment process schematic.)
The chemicals available to be used in the treatment process include alum as a primary coagulant, polymer as a
coagulant aid an as a filter aid, powdered carbon for taste and odor control, soda ash for pH control and chlorine
for disinfection
The backwash water storage reservoir has a capacity of 750,000 gallons of finished water for use in washing the
filters This water is then wasted to the waste pond for storage and further settling before being pumped back into
the contact basin influent flume zone and recycled
Should the treatment facility become unable to produce water which meets or exceeds all of the drinking water
standards, then the plant is to be placed out of service and the procedures for loss of supply followed
Should components of the Water Treatment Plant cease to function, the following alternatives may be utilized:
FLASH MIX: Make adjustments to the chemical feed pumps to increase the chemical dosage and rely on
hydraulic mixing of the chemicals
CONTACT BASIN: The basin is divided in two and may be operated separately
FILTERS: Four filters are available and a maximum of three may be isolated at one time
BACKWASH RESERVOIR: The reservoir may be isolated through utilization of the 24 inch butterfly valve
installed between the WTP and the reservoir The backwash refill pumps are then used to pump water directly
from the clear well to the filters for washing A small 3 horsepower pump and the appropriate fittings are stored at
the WTP to provide service water under the above conditions.
WASTE POND: The backwash water could be allowed to be diverted directly to the river. Contact the
Washington State Department of Ecology prior to the diversion of any water directly diverted to the river.

CHLORINATORS: One option should the gas chlorine supply be unavailable is to secure the hypochlorinator
from the Water/Irrigation Division Warehouse at 2301 Fruitvale Boulevard Then mix dry chlorine (HTH) in the
polymer tanks and inject the solution into the water
Another option should the gas chlorine supply remain available is to secure one of the well chlorinators and
replace the plant chlorinator temporarily until repairs or replacement is completed on the plant chlorinator, and/or
divert the gas supply through one chlorinator into the Water Treatment Plant effluent.

MAJOR FACILITIES - DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
AND STORAGE RESERVOIRS
DESCRIPTION
r
The City's distribution system is adjacent to several water systems, but is only intertied with the Nob Hill Water
Association and the City of Union Gap Three interties exist with Nob Hill Water Association and one with the City
of Union Gap Nob Hill Water interties are located in the high zone pressure area at the intersection of 56th
Avenue and Lincoln Avenue, at the intersection of 45th Avenue and Tieton Drive which is within the middle
pressure zone and at S 32nd Ave and Ahtanum Road The Union Gap intertie is located at the intersection of S
3rd Ave and W Washington Ave
The distribution pipelines are 4 to 24 inches in diameter The pipe materials are mainly cast iron, with ductile iron
being used since the early 1970's. There are several steel pipelines and many unlined cast iron pipelines
remaining in the system
The City's existing storage capacity is 32 million gallons (MG) distributed among five reservoirs within the three
pressure zones Each pressure zone has an established hydraulic elevation This elevation is maintained by the
distribution reservoir/s located in each of the pressure zones The reservoirs are shown on the hydraulic profile
and listed on the following table The table indicates the volume of storage, the zone served, the type of material,
and the overflow and floor elevation of the five reservoirs in the distribution system

STORAGE RESERVOIRS
* Two reservoirs at 12 MG each
** Two reservoirs at 1 MG each
The City's existing instrumentation and control (I&C) system located at the WTP monitors and controls the
functions of the distribution system and storage reservoirs
OPERATING MODES AND ALTERNATIVES
The function of the distribution system is to deliver potable water to the service connections and fire hydrants.
The function of the storage reservoirs is to provide. 1) standby water storage for emergencies and short-term
interruptions of source of supply; 2) additional source of water for fire protection purposes, 3) equalizing water for
changes in water demands within the system.
Distribution pipelines branch off from the transmission mains, conveying water to the three pressure zones -- high,
middle, and low Gravity alone provides adequate pressure to serve water to the low zone Booster pump stations
push the water up to the reservoirs in the middle and high zones, and pressure -reducing valves (PRV's) regulate
water flows back from the middle to the low zones when necessary. Normally, closed valves may be operated to
move water from the high zone to the middle zone. Conversely, portions of the high zone could be served (at
lower pressure) from the middle zone through operation of these normally closed valves and existing check
valves.
The six million gallon reservoir at 40th Avenue and Englewood Avenue is utilized as an equalizing reservoir for the
entire water system The flow at the WTP is based upon levels in this reservoir. Any water not consumed by the
low pressure zone through customer demand, or by pumping to the middle and high pressure zones, is stored
here

Emergency Op Guidelines
January 2004
Should the distribution system cease to function in specific areas, these areas may be isolated by closing valves to
sections as needed according to the distribution grid system serving the affected area.
Should the entire distribution system fail to provide its function, then water would necessarily have to be hand
carried or transported by vehicles. No fire protection would be available from the system Fire Department
tankers would have to be utilized for fighting fires
Potable water would need to be made available at distribution points throughout the system The Yakima Firing
Center, the National Guard, and private carriers may be pressed into service in an emergency Fire stations, City
parks, and other City property make good points of distribution of potable water City residents would be notified
of these distribution points and instructed to bring containers to receive their allotment of water
The source of water for supplying the distribution points could be the Kiwanis Park and Airport artesian wells
Additionally, potable water could be purchased from any adjacent purveyors that would still have a safe plentiful
supply
Should the storage reservoirs cease to function, the system's ability to meet all demands would become
undependable Some fire fighting capability might be retained but not to normal standards.
The interties with Nob Hill Water Association could be utilized to place their reservoirs into shared operation, it is
unlikely that water could be obtained from the intertie with the City of Union Gap as the system pressure in the City
system is much greater than the City of Union Gap
The reservoirs could be isolated and water supply pumped directly into the system from the wells or by the gravity
from the WTP The 48" transmission main could act as a reservoir during an emergency
During extended emergencies portable storage reservoirs or temporary reservoirs could be utilized to accomplish
the same function as a storage reservoir.

LOSS OF FUNCTION
POSSIBLE -- Earthquake
CAUSES: -- Sabotage
-- Nuclear disaster
ALTERNATIVE 1: Should localized areas of failure be determined, isolation
of these areas of the distribution system or storage reservoirs is in order
to reduce property damage from escaping water and maintain the system
integrity.
PROCEDURE: 1. Notify the Fire Department of the extent of service they may expect from the
system and the approximate duration of this service level.
2 Check water system maps and records for locations of system valves to be
utilized in isolating the affected area or structure
3 Proceed to the valves and operate them into closed position.
4 Depending upon the volume of water escaping, notify the customers in the
affected area either before or after isolating the area.
5 Determine amounts of damage to the affected areas.
6 Determine methods and estimate the cost of repairs.

STWIV A --
Emergency Op Guidelines
January 2004
ALTERNATIVE 2: Should complete failure of the distribution system and/or
storage reservoirs occur, water rationing and potable water distribution
points would need to be established to provide customers with a safe
drinking water supply.
PROCEDURE. 1 Notify the Fire Department that no water supply is available from the system
2 Notify the customers that the water supply is not safe or reliable and that
water rationing is in effect.
3 Determine sources and methods of distributing a potable water supply to the
customers.
4. Distribute information regarding the locations of potable water supply to the
customers.
5 Determine what portions of the system are salvageable and determine
methods and costs to repair and/or replace the damaged portions of the
system
6 Implement repair and/or replacement program
ALTERNATIVE 3: Should only the storage reservoirs cease to function,
they should be isolated and the system operated on a limited basis without
benefit of storage reservoirs.
PROCEDURE. 1 Notify the Fire Department that a reduced amount of water supply is
available from the distribution system
2. Notify the customers that the system use is curtailed and water rationing is in
effect.
3. Determine best method to utilize under the disaster circumstances. a) utilize
Nob Hill Water Association's storage reservoirs, b) place water directly into
the distribution system without benefit of storage, c) construct or utilize
temporary storage facilities through the use of portable reservoirs or open
excavations with plastic or vinyl linings

MAJOR FACILITIES -- BOOSTER PUMPING STATIONS
DESCRIPTION
The pump stations are listed in the following table, indicating the location, the supply location, the zone that is
served, the number of pumps in each station, pump capacity, and some other characteristics.
OPERATING MODES AND ALTERNATIVES
The booster pump stations provide water to the middle and high zones, as shown in the hydraulic profile. The
40th Avenue and Stone Church pumps are operated in a verity of lead lag positions depending on the demand and
the season The difference in water demands is due to an irrigation demand in the middle and high zones. These
pumps are controlled by the middle zone's two reservoir levels through the radio telemetry system.
The high zone pumping station is only capable of operating one of the 125 hp pumps at a time This is due to the
size of the electrical service available when the facility was constructed The two 125 hp pumps are alternated
with one placed in a standby role, while the other is being used and with the 40 hp pump places in the lag position
The smaller 40 hp pump is placed in the lead during low demand times. This station's pumps are controlled by the
water levels in the high zone's two reservoirs through the radio telemetry system.
The Gleed pumping station is operated by utilizing the two 5 HP pumps to meet domestic water demands and the
125 HP pump for fire flow demands This station's pumps are controlled by pressure sensing controls and a hydro -
pneumatic tank. At 55 psi the lead pump will start and run until pressure builds to 75 psi. Should the pressure
continue to drop after the lead pump starts then at 45 psi the backup pump starts. This pump shuts off at 65 psi.
Should the first two pumps be unable to supply sufficient pressure above 30 psi, the 125 HP will start and run until
it has run at 90 psi for 12 minutes before shutting off A pressure relief valve is located in the manifold system and
allows the bypass of water back into the 48" transmission main of any water in excess of 100 psi
Should the 40th Avenue and Stone Church pump stations cease to function, the available supply in the twin twelve
(12) million gallon reservoirs needs to be determined. If additional water supply is needed to meet the demands
The Nob Hill Water Association may also be contacted to furnish a source of water through the emergency intertie
in the middle and high zones Should the station cease to function because of an electrical power outage, a
portable electrical generator might be used to restore electrical power to the 40th Ave pump station and/or depend
on the generator at the Stone Church pump station

MAJOR FACILITIES -- PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE STATIONS
DESCRIPTION
The PRV stations are listed in the following table, indicating the location, size, pressure settings, the zone that is
served and some additional information.
The valves listed as "not in service" have been made redundant through changes in the boundaries of the
pressure zones and are no longer required.
OPERATING MODES AND ALTERNATIVES
Control of water flow between the middle and low pressure zones is provided by the PRV's located throughout the
distribution system These control valves are set to open and close at various hydraulic elevations depending on
the intended purpose of the valve (continual supply or emergency only)
The normal use of the City's PRV's is to provide additional water flow for emergency purposes. The reduction of
pressure in the low zone under emergency conditions because of a fire flow or other large water demand will
cause the hydraulic elevation to decrease This reduction in hydraulic elevation will cause the normally closed
hydraulically actuated valves to open and provide additional flow into the low zone
Should the PRV stations cease to function, the valves may be manually operated either open or closed
The effects of the PRV stations having failed are. 1) Water movement between zones which will result in losses
and increases in water pressure in the distribution system, if failure is in the open position. 2) Inadequate water
flows during an emergency or other high demand situations, should the valve fail in the closed position.

MAJOR FACILITIES -- ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY
DESCRIPTION
The source of the electrical power supply for the City of Yakima Water System is the PacifiCorp All of the water
system facilities are dependent upon electrical energy.
OPERATING MODES AND ALTERNATIVES
The function of the water system's power supply is to provide the electrical energy necessary to operate the
multitude of electrically powered equipment necessary for operation of the water system.
With the loss of electrical energy, the Water Treatment Plant, booster pumping stations, wells, telemetry control
systems and telephonic communications may be effected, depending on the extent of the loss of power.
Should the water system's power supply cease to be available, the following alternatives may be utilized to

ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY LOSS
POSSIBLE -- Severe storms, earthquakes, volcanoes, and other natural disasters.
CAUSES: -- Sabotage of electrical generation facilities
-- Nuclear disaster
ALTERNATIVE 1: Contact the PacifiCorp
PROCEDURE. 1 Attempt to telephone PP&L at 575-3133 If telephone communication is not
possible, wait for normal business hours and personally contact them at their
offices on North 16th Avenue or 7 North 3rd Street.
2. Secure from PP&L their estimate of the area affected by the power outage
and the estimate of the length of time the outage is expected to last.
3 Using this information, along with the amount of water in storage at the time
of the loss of power and the average daily system demand, determine if the
water in storage is inadequate to meet the needs during the outage
If the electrical power is to be restored prior to the stored water
levels, dropping below one day's reserves then simply wait for restoration of
the power supply. If the loss of power will exceed this time frame, then
implement the water rationing procedures outlined under "loss of supply" in
this guide
4 When the loss of power supply is isolated to one or a few facilities, attempt
to utilize an alternative to that particular facility or facilities (see Major
Facilities in this guide)
ALTERNATIVE 2: Secure portable electrical generators to serve as
temporary power supplies for the affected facility.
PROCEDURE. 1 If only the Water Treatment Plant is affected, then treat the emergency as a
"loss of supply" and follow the instructions as outlined in this guide.
2. Secure a generator from a local machinery vendor, Yakima Firing Center or
the Washington State National Guard

Re: Draft Water System Plan Update, City of Yakima
Dear Ms. Harding:
Yakima County Planning Department has reviewed Yakima's April 2003 draft Water System
Plan Update and offers the following comments.
1. Sewer Service Area. Figures 1-5 and 1-7 contain inaccuracies due to an amendment of
the "Four Party Agreement" in 2001 that made the sewer service boundary coterminous
with the UGA boundaries in Terrace Heights and Union Gap, and extended the sewer
service area to The Apple Tree golf course in the West Valley.
2. Comprehensive Plan Amendments. Several sections in the draft (e.g., the first
paragraphs under section 1.5 and 2.3) say the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan
was most recently amended in 1998. It was also amended in 2000, 2001, and 2002.
I. Water Service Area. The first two paragraphs under section 1.5 say Figure 1-7 depicts
the existing and future water service areas/boundaries. However, Figure 1-7 does not
appear to depict existing and future water service areas.
4. Interim Urban Boundaries. There are several references (e.g., in section 1.5 and 1.6) to
interim urban boundaries. Interim UGA boundaries lost their interim status and became
final in May 1997 with adoption of Plan 2015. It should be noted that Gleed, which was
included in the interim UGA, was not included in the final UGA (page 1-25). Thus the
statement at the bottom of page 1-28 that "The City's service area and water rights "place
of use" boundaries are entirely within ... the ... UGA ... " is incorrect because Gleed is
not within the UGA.
5. South Boundary. Discussion of the South Boundary on page 1-26 contains several
inaccuracies due to changed circumstances resulting from annexations that have occurred
,,OUR MISSION: TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY DEFINE AND ACHIEVE ITS PREFERRED FUTURE"
Megan Harding
June 17, 2003
Page 2
during the 1990s.
6. Population Projections. We suspect that the population projections for the water service
area are based on a flawed assumption. The bottom of page 2-21 states "[fJor the purpose
of this water system plan, the population growth within the water service area and within
the individual pressure zones is estimated to occur at the same rate as the growth within
the entire county." We would expect that population growth within the "place of use" will
be substantially less than the population growth rate for the county because the "place of
use" is mostly developed, leaving little area for growth to occur. Most.of the growth
occurring in the entire county involves developing previously undeveloped lands.
7. Water Demand Projections. Because water demand projections are based on the
population projections, we suspect that the water demand projections on pages 2-22
through 2-34 are erroneously inflated.
$. Outdated Assumptions as a Result of Recent "308" Policy Change. In May 2003 the
Yakima City Council made a significant change in its water policy by enacting an
ordinance that will eliminate its irrigation system #308, which serves the eastern portion
of its "place of use" area. The new policy will make domestic water the sole source of
water for irrigation in the "308" area. The draft Water System Plan Update does not take
this policy change into account in planning for the future, yet the conversion will start
immediately and must be completed within 10 years due to the terms of the city's
Acquavella settlement.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this draft plan. If you have any questions please contact
me at (509)-574-2254.

Conservation Checklist
CONSER VA TION PLANNING REQUIREMENTS FOR PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS
WITH 10, 001 - 25,000 DIRECT SER VICE CONNECTIONS
The checklists below are for use by public water systems in their efforts to develop a water
conservation plan in accordance with the Guidelines and Requirements for Public Water
Systems re ag rdin Water Use Reporting, Demand Forecasting Methodology, and
Conservation Programs (Conservation Planning Requirements). Ecology and Health staff in
reviewing conservation plans required from public water systems will also use these
checklists. Conservation plans consist of three elements: data collection and reporting;
demand forecasting for future water needs, and; conservation program development and
implementation. THESE CHECKLISTS IDENTIFY THE REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH
OF THESE THREE COMPONENTS OF A CONSERVATION PLAN FOR PUBLIC
WATER SYSTEMS WITH 10,001 - 25,000 DIRECT SERVICE CONNECTIONS. Please
note that systems that will be pursuing water rights within the next 20 years must also comply
with the source of supply analysis requirements pursuant to chapter 246-290-100 WAC. An
additional checklist defining the source of supply requirements is included as attachment H.
Please refer to the Conservation Planning Requirements and the Water System Planning
Handbook for additional details.
CONSERVATION PLANS ARE REQUIRED COMPONENTS OF WATER SYSTEM
PLANS REQUIRED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH (HEALTH), AND ARE
REQUIRED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY (ECOLOGY) PRIOR TO THE
ISSUANCE OF WATER RIGHTS TO PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS. Implementation of
conservation plans may be conditions of approval of water system plans and for water right
permits. Where water system plans are required, Health will be the lead agency in reviewing
conservation plans. Health will coordinate review of conservation plans with Ecology. If
you have any questions about the Conservation Planning Requirements contact the Health
Regional Office Planner for your area, or if your system is not required to complete a water
system plan, the Ecology Regional Office for your area. The cost -benefit analysis that is
required for evaluating various conservation measures should be commensurate to the water
system size and water supply status of the individual water system and the area watershed.
For additional resources to assist in the development of your conservation plan, please refer
to the Water Conservation Handbook for Public Water Systems developed by Ecology and
Health. Additionally, the Planning Handbook - A Guide for Preparing Water System Plans is
available from Health to assist in the development of your overall water system plan.
Finally, the Water Conservation Bibliography for Public Water Systems published by Health
provides references to additional water conservation information and literature which can be
obtained from the library and other sources. All of these documents are available from
Ecology or Health.
NOTE: The information in this handout provides an overview of the specific requirements
in the Conservation Planning Requirements. You should not rely on this handout
exclusively to prepare your conservation plan. Please refer to the Conservation
Planning Requirements to determine the specific guidelines and requirements
for your conservation plan.
WATER USE DATA COLLECTION REQUIREMENTS CHECKLIST
This checklist summarizes the water use data reporting requirements in the Conservation
Planning Requirements. Unless otherwise noted, data should be reported in cubic feet. The
Conservation Planning Requirements establish 1991 as the initial year for water use data
collection and reporting. If available, data should be shown for the past 5 years. Systems are
encouraged to collect more than the minimum required data.
To meet the minimum requirements of the Conservation Planning Requirements, plans must
contain currently available data on water usage for the categories of use listed below. If the
data has not been collected for any of the categories below, you will be required to make a
commitment in your conservation plan to begin collecting the data as required. This
commitment must include a schedule for when the data will begin to be collected, and what
improvements if any will be made to ensure the data is collectable. Systems which make this
commitment to collect data, but do not follow through and collect the information may be
unable to receive subsequent water system plan approval or approval for additional water
rights, until data consistent with the checklist below is collected.
All data elements must be reported or a commitment must be made (for each data element not
collected) to collect and report the data prior to the next water system plan update. Where
available, daily, monthly and annual totals must be reported, not averages. Please read the
footnotes to obtain additional information.

1. Accounted for non -revenue water includes uses which can be accounted for, but where revenue is not collected. Examples
include fire, protection, system flushing and other designated uses.
2. Those systems required to collect data which do not have service meters, will be required to estimate how much each of
these users has consumed. Include the number of connections in each category of user. Data may be collected through normal
billing procedures. Monthly data may be estimated if customers are billed less frequently.
3. Report the number of connections and customers in the residential class, and number of connections for the other customer
classes. Population served must be reported, a commitment to include the information in the next water system plan update is
inadequate. Data on population per household is available from the State Office of Financial Management.
4. If no previous conservation efforts have been undertaken, development of a conservation plan consistent with the
Conservation Planning Requirements will be acceptable.
5. System must either have collected all data or made a written commitment to initiate and continue data collection or the
conservation plan cannot be approved.
DEMAND FORECASTING REQUIREMENTS CHECKLIST
This checklist summarizes the demand forecasting factors which must be considered when
forecasting future water needs. Demand forecasts must include demands from wholesale
customers. To meet the minimum requirements of the Conservation Planning Requirements
demand forecasts must incorporate the four factors„ listed below. Other factors determined to
be appropriate by the system may be included as is appropriate. Demand forecasts must
show demand for 6 and 20 year projections for both average daily demand and peak day
demand, which depict future usage with and without conservation savings obtained from the
conservation program (i.e. that factor in target water saving projections identified in the
conservation program).
Factors Required to be Included
1. Projected Population (based on information Yes _X_ No
from local government and/or Office of Financial
Management)
2. Land Use/Zoning/Capacity (adopted land use Yes X_ No
and zoning regulations)
3. Conservation Savings (water projected to be Yes X_ No
saved through the water conservation program
must be factored into demand projection)
4. Per Capita Water Use and Other Non- Yes X_ No

WATER CONSERVATION PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS CHECKLIST
Conservation programs must include conservation objectives, evaluation of conservation
measures, 'identification of selected conservation activities, and target water saving
projections as discussed below. Please refer to the Conservation Planning Requirements for
additional details.
Conservation Objectives. Goals and objectives of the conservation program shall be
identified. These objectives should be designed to meet the needs of the specific water
system (e.g., attain maximum utilization of current supplies, reduce peak daily consumption,
reduce peak monthly consumption, reduce total annual consumption, promote long term
efficiency with accelerated conservation on a short term basis, reduce usage from a specific
customer class, develop public education and awareness, etc.). EACH WATER SYSTEM
WILL NEED TO DEVELOP CONSERVATION OBJECTIVES WHICH LOGICALLY
MEET ITS NEEDS.
Evaluation of Conservation Measures. Public water systems must evaluate all
recommended conservation measures identified in the Conservation Planning Requirements
and implement those that are required and those that meet the public water systems' needs.
The specific measures to be evaluated depend upon the size of the system. However, systems
are encouraged to evaluate measures above the minimum requirements. The system must
explain decisions not to implement measures it is required to evaluate.
Identification of Selected Conservation Activities
Description. Description of conservation measures being implemented. (including
required measures).
Schedule. Schedule of when the conservation measures will be implemented
(emphasis on 6 -year implementation schedule).
Budget. Projected budget for each selected conservation measure. Schedule and
budget information should be shown together.
Monitoring Requirements. Description of how the system will monitor the success
of its conservation measures (e.g., documented reduction in water usage, distribution
of conservation materials, implementation of specific measures).
Target Water Savings Projections. Each system will identify a percentage savings goal,
based on the measures chosen for implementation, which the entire water conservation
program will attempt to save. Because different systems may have already implemented
different levels of conservation, and the conservation needs of each system are different, no
percentage savings goal has been established in the Conservation Planning Requirements.
This percentage savings goal must be factored into the demand forecast.
To meet the minimum requirements of the Conservation Planning Requirements, all required
measures must be planned to be implemented within six years, and all recommended
measures must be evaluated and implemented if cost effective.
The following checklist summarizes the water conservation measures which are required to
be implemented, and measures which are required to be evaluated and implemented where
cost effective. In the absence of clear evidence to the contrary, estimates on the costs and
benefits of conservation measures (i.e. selection of non -mandatory measures for
implementation) will not be challenged. Please refer to the footnotes for additional
information.
