Project: QAPP Development for Mid -Yakima River Basin Bacteria TMDL
Client: City of Yakima
Consultant: Evergreen StormH2O
Contract No.: 22025
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
The City of Yakima (Client) as well as the City of Union Gap and Yakima County (Stakeholders) were
notified by Ecology that in the next (2024-2029) Eastern Washington (EWA) Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer System (MS4) Phase II Permit they will be required to collect outfall samples in the Figure 1
subbasins contributing to the Yakima River as part of their Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
(IDDE) program. The Yakima River in this area is an impaired water body due to high E. Coli levels
previously measured and summarized in the Mid -Yakima River Basin Total Maximum Daily Load
(TMDL) Water Quality Improvement Report. The TMDL was developed for bacteria impairment and
requires that a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) be prepared that defines sampling and analysis
procedures. The locations where samples will be collected is to be determined by the Client and
Stakeholders and will support identifying and eliminating illicit discharges of E. Coli contributing to the
Yakima River. To meet the requirements of the Phase II Permit and TMDL, the Client has selected
Evergreen StormH2O (Consultant) to develop a QAPP. As such the goal of this document is to define
the scope of work for developing the QAPP which will include the following tasks.
• Hold a project kick-off meeting and check-in/coordination meetings (Task 1)
• Collect data and identify sample locations (Task 2)
• Develop a draft QAPP (Task 2)
• Finalize the QAPP by addressing comments provided the City of Yakima, City of Union Gap,
and Yakima County as well as the Department of Ecology Review (Task 2)
