Item No. 6.C.
For Meeting of: July 11, 2017
Resolution authorizing Agreement with the State of Washington
Department of Ecology for a grant in the amount of $30,600 for
Completion of Ecology Requirements in the Aquifer Storage and
Recovery Permit

SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
A permit for the City of Yakima's Aquifer Storage and Recovery Water Supply project was issued
by Washington Department of Ecology in January of 2017. The permit outlines several
requirements that must be met prior to the City being allowed to proceed with recharging or
recovering water from the aquifer.
The requirements of the Department of Ecology are:
1) Developing a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) (water quality testing
assurance)
2) Preparing an Engineering Technical Memorandum (outlining options for reducing
disinfection byproducts)
3) Developing an Operations and Maintenance Manual (standard operating
procedures for the Aquifer Storage and Recovery Project)
4) Conduct meetings to support development of the above mentioned materials.
The Department of Ecology, through the Yakima Basin Integrated Plan, is issuing a grant in the
amount of $30,600 towards completion of the listed requirements through Interagency
Agreement No. C1700161. The total effort is expected to cost approximately $45,160. The
remaining balance will be funded from the Water Division's Water Improvement Fund.

INTERAGENCY AGREEMENT (IAA)
BETWEEN
THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY
AND
CITY OF YAKIMA
THIS INTERAGENCY AGREEMENT ("Agreement" or "IAA") is made and entered into by and between
the state of Washington, Department of Ecology, hereinafter referred to as "ECOLOGY," and the City of
Yakima hereinafter referred to as "Yakima" pursuant to the authority granted by Chapter 39.34 RCW.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT is for Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Permit
Implementation Support.
WHEREAS, RCW 90.38 Yakima River Basin Water Rights provides authority to implement projects that
support development of new water supplies in the Yakima River basin;
WHEREAS, RCW 90.38.005 declares that the Legislature finds that the interests of the state will be served
by developing programs, in cooperation with the United States and the various water users in the
basin, that increase the overall ability to manage basin waters in order to better satisfy both
present and future needs for water in the Yakima river basin, and, that the interests of the state
will also be served through coordination of federal and state policies and procedures in order to
develop and implement projects within the framework of the integrated water resource
management plan for the Yakima river basin. The pace of integrated plan implementation over
the long term depends upon adequate funding and is subject to the availability of amounts
appropriated for this purpose;
WHEREAS, RCW 35.21.735(2), declares that Yakima has authority to enter into agreements with the United
States or any agency or department thereof, or any agency of the state government or its political
subdivisions, and pursuant to such agreements may receive and expend, or cause to be received
and expended by a custodian or trustee, federal or private funds for any lawful public purpose.

APPENDIX A
STATEMENT OF WORK AND BUDGET
Background
This scope of work pertains to activities the City of Yakima (City) will complete as required by the
Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) that are identified in the Report of Examination
(ROE), R4 -34552P as part of the implementation of the City's Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR)
permit. These tasks are scheduled to be completed by December 31, 2017.
Scope of Services
Task 1— Quality Assurance Project Plan
Objective
Prepare a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) to define the monitoring and reporting to be
conducted during ASR project implementation.
Activities
1 Prepare Draft QAPP, per Task 3 of the ROE Compliance Schedule, based on Ecology requirements
and incorporating the monitoring provisions (flow/water level and water quality) described in the
ROE.
2 Prepare Final QAPP, based on Ecology review comments.
Assumptions
1. The QAPP will follow, to the extent practical, the format and approach of the QAPP developed for
the Gardner Test Plan. That previously developed QAPP is an attachment to the Gardner Test Plan
and references materials within the Test Plan. The QAPP developed in this task for the ASR permit
will integrate references from the Test Plan in order to be a stand-alone document, and will be
consistent with the Operations and Maintenance Manual that will be developed under Task 3.
Deliverables
1 QAPP (in PDF format). Draft and Final versions.
Task 2 — Engineering Technical Memorandum
Objective
Prepare a technical memorandum assessing options the City could implement to reduce and/or manage
disinfection byproduct (DBP) concentrations to meet ASR permit enforcement limits.
7
Version 5/26/17
State of Washington, Department of Ecology
IAA No
Activities
I Develop a list of DBP precursor monitoring and management methods.
2 Qualitatively evaluate the methods according to a comparison approach similar to that utilized in the
AKART analysis prepared previously in the ASR permitting effort Evaluation criteria will include
effectiveness, intpletnentabi/ity, and cost
3 Prepare hydraulic control analysis, per Task 2 of the ROE Compliance Schedule. This will include
consideration of
A. The ambient aquifer hydraulic gradient, flow velocities, and aquifer properties reported and cited
in Pitre and Austreng'.
B The following two "bookend" scenarios, after 10 years of recharge
i. Recharge and recovery only in the Gardner Well, as a most likely scenario particularly in the
initial years of operation.
ii. Recharge only in the Southwest Well and recovery only in the Kissel Well, as a scenario in
which the least amount of recharged water will be actively recovered.
C The analysis will be at a conceptual level, supported by graphical illustrations based on
analytical groundwater equations.
4 Prepare Draft Technical Memorandum, per Task 1 of the ROE Cotnpliance Schedule
5 Prepare Final Technical Memorandum, based on Ecology review comments
Assumptions
1 The technical memorandum will not address, other than by reference, DBP treatment options, as
these have been sufficiently evaluated in the prior AKART analysis
Deliverables
1. Technical Memorandum (in PDFformat). Draft and Final versions
Tusk 3 — Operations and Maintenance Manual
Objective
Prepare an O&M manual for use by City staff that describes the operation of the ASR system components
and summarizes the monitoring and reporting requirements of staff.
Activities
1. Prepare O&M Manual, generally following the outline of the O&M Manual previously developed
during an earlier stage of the ASR effort. The components of the O&M Manual are listed below.
A. Introduction
B Initiation of Recharge
Pure, C. and A. Austreng, 2015 City of Yakima Gardner Well ASR Test Report Golder project 103-93060-03

C. Monitoring and Maintenance during Recharge
D. Terminating Recharge
E. Recovery Operations
F. Water Quality Monitoring Schedule

Assumptions
1 The O&M Manual will be prepared to a level of detail similar to that of the previously developed
manual.
2. The O&M Manual will not be reviewed by Ecology.
3. The Manual will describe operations with and without implementation of additional DBP precursor
management approaches as will be assessed in Task 2
4. Pertinent sections of the Manual will incorporate information presented in the QAPP.
Deliverables
1 Operations and Maintenance Manual (in Word/PDF format).
Task 4 — Meetings
Objective
Meetings to support development of the above mentioned materials
Activities
1. There will be one in-person meeting in Yakima (assumed to be no longer than two hours in length)
and up to 5 phone calls (assumed to be no longer than 2 hours each) with City and Ecology staff to
discuss Draft Final QAPP and Engineering Technical Memorandum.
