Resolution No. 2012—R0041
ATTACHMENT A1.2012
Described below is the scope of work and associated fees for Terracon to provide consulting services to the
City of Lubbock for the Hancock Land Application Site (HLAS) and Lubbock Land Application Site
(LLAS). This exhibit outlines specific tasks, budgets, and not to exceed amounts for Terracon to complete
the scope of work. Terracon's fee schedule that will be used for negotiating fees for Additional Services
not included in this scope of work is also attached.
Specific tasks to allow Terracon to assist the City to define project strategies and/or interface with the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) are included in this scope of work. In addition, Terracon
has included tasks to manage project data and prepare state mandated routine annual monitoring reports for
the HLAS and LLAS for submission to the TCEQ in May 2012. The 2012 Annual Report for the LLAS
will include an updated groundwater model for the LLAS that was originally revised for the 2010 Annual
Report. In addition, specific tasks are included to evaluate additional information pertaining to water and
soil quality, and groundwater elevations in the vicinity of the LLAS and HLAS.
Additional tasks such as the modeling of nitrate transport in the unsaturated zone at the HLAS, completion
of an in situ pilot test to treat nitrate in groundwater, and the development of a revised Remediation Work
Plan for the LLAS to be submitted to the TCEQ may be negotiated as Additional Services and may be
added to this Agreement by amendment hereof.
Task 1— Strategic Planning and Meetings
This task includes the review of updated project data as necessary, site visits, strategic planning with the
City of Lubbock, and interfacing with City of Lubbock Staff and TCEQ regulators. Terracon will meet with
City of Lubbock personnel to discuss strategic planning for the LLAS and HLAS including regulatory
compliance and closure issues. The strategic planning session(s) will address both short-term and long-term
planning. The short -tern planning discussions will include wastewater operations, farming operations, and
remediation activities at the LLAS. The long-term planning discussions will include the wastewater
development and water use planning and the beneficial use of the property. The long-range planning will
also be used to develop a monitoring, remediation, and closure strategy for the LLAS as well as to discuss
implications regarding the possible construction of Reservoir 4 7 to the south of the LLAS. One meeting in
Lubbock is proposed during the course of the year.
Terracon will assist the City of Lubbock with their discussions with the TCEQ as necessary. The LLAS is
currently operated, monitored, and remediated pursuant to a 1989 Agreed Order with the Texas Water
Commission (TWC, predecessor to TCEQ) but, as discussed below, the current plans are to transition
operations, monitoring, and remediation to the permit effective January 1, 2012. Terracon will assist the
City of Lubbock as necessary, and as requested, to evaluate technical issues pertaining to the permit.
Task 2 - HLAS
Terracon shall complete two main project tasks related to compliance with the City of Lubbock's TPDES
pen -nit No. 10353-002 related to the HLAS. The three project tasks and associated work scope are
summarized below.
Trak 2.1 HLAS Data Man ygemen
This task will involve database file management including database updates, preparation of supporting
graphs, and review of data provided by the City of Lubbock during the fiscal year. The City of Lubbock
Page 3 of I 1
will collect onsite groundwater samples, gauge monitor wells, and procure laboratory services. The city -
contracted laboratory will be NELAC accredited. Sampling data will not be reviewed and reported
pursuant to TRRP-13 (Review and Reporting of COC Concentration Data). Thus, Terracon has not
included a usability review of the data or the preparation of a Data Usability Summary (DUS).
It is anticipated that the following data will be collected, compiled, and included in the databases during the
fiscal year:
• Annual groundwater level measurements from thirty-one offsite irrigation wells measured by the
High Plains Underground Water Conservation District;
• Quarterly nitrate data from southern onsite monitor wells (MW -1A, MW -2A, MW -34, MW -35, and
MW -36);
• Semi-annual nitrate data from 36 onsite wells;
• Annual static water level data from 36 onsite wells;
• Annual groundwater quality data from 36 onsite wells; and
• Annual groundwater quality field sampling data (i.e., pH, conductivity, oxidation/reduction
potential, dissolved oxygen, and temperature) from 36 onsite wells.
Terracon will integrate laboratory and field collected data into existing databases. Terracon will review the
data for trends and spatial distribution. Throughout the year, as data are compiled and reviewed, Terracon
will evaluate the data and communicate findings with the City of Lubbock staff and attorneys.
Task 2.2 HLAS Ann tial Deport
This task involves preparation of the HLAS annual report. The HLAS annual report will summarize the
project history and monitoring activities, and will include tabular sampling and gauging results and maps of
nitrate iso -concentrations and potentiometric contours. Terracon will prepare a draft report that will be
submitted to the City of Lubbock and attorneys for review and comments. Terracon will work with the City
of Lubbock and attorneys to address any comments and will prepare a final report. The report will be
sealed by a licensed professional geoscientist or licensed professional engineer. The report is due to the
TCEQ by the end of May.
Task 3 - LLAS
Terracon shall initially complete three main project tasks related to compliance with the City of Lubbock's
TPDES Permit No. 10353-002 related to the LLAS and one supplemental task. The three project tasks and
associated work scope are summarized below.
Task 3.1 LLAS Data Marra enrent
This task will involve database file management including database updates, preparation of supporting
graphs, and review of data provided by the City of Lubbock during the fiscal year. The City of Lubbock
will collect onsite groundwater samples, gauge monitor wells, and procure laboratory services. The city -
contracted laboratory will be NELAC accredited. Sampling data will not be reviewed and reported pursuant
to TRRP-13. Thus, Terracon has not included a usability review of the data or the preparation of a DUS.
It is anticipated that the following data will be collected, compiled, and included in the databases during the
fiscal year:
• Monthly groundwater production data for approximately 43 recovery wells;
• Semi-annual nitrate data from approximately 150 site wells;
Page 4 of I I
• Annual static water level data from approximately 150 site wells;
• Annual groundwater quality data from approximately 150 site wells;
• Annual groundwater quality field sampling data (i.e., pH, conductivity, oxidation/reduction
potential, dissolved oxygen, and temperature ) from approximately 150 site wells; and
• Quarterly North Fork data upstream of FM 400 and monthly lake nitrate data.
Terracon will integrate laboratory and field collected data into existing databases. Terracon will review the
data for trends and spatial distribution. Throughout the year, as data are compiled and reviewed, Terracon
will evaluate the data and communicate any findings with the City of Lubbock staff and attorneys.
Task 3.2 Groundwater Model Update for 2012 LLAS Annual Report
As required for the May 2012 LLAS Annual Report to the TCEQ, this task will involve preparing an annual
update to the existing MODFLOW/MT3D computer model prepared for the LLAS that was revised by
Terracon for the 2010 LLAS Annual Report. As directed by the TCEQ, the May 2012 LLAS annual
report will include a discussion of the revisions and update to the groundwater MODFLOW/MT3D model
to include a re -calibration of the model for 2012 to simulate flow conditions and water quality at the LLAS
over the next five year period. Terracon will procure the services of Dr. Ken Rainwater and his associates
for the groundwater modeling task to support the preparation and submission of the 2012 LLAS Annual
Report, and they will focus on those modeling tasks necessary to re -calibrate the model based on
comparison of modeled data to actual data from 2012 and the previous years. Once the model has been
calibrated to match approximate groundwater levels and nitrate concentrations, the current nitrate
concentration data will be input into the model to generate a prediction of future conditions for a 5 -year
predictive period in accordance with the current Remediation Plan. The modeling description and results
will be presented in the 2012 LLAS Annual Report as described below.
Task 3.3 LLAS Annual Report
This task will involve preparation of the LLAS annual report. The LLAS annual report will summarize the
project history and monitoring and remediation activities, and will include tabular sampling and gauging
results and maps of nitrate iso -concentrations and potentiometric contours. The May 2012 LLAS annual
report will also include a discussion of the 2012 LLAS MODFLOW/MT3D model based on the updated
nitrate distribution in groundwater and expected groundwater withdrawal rates, wastewater application
rates, and typical rainfall. Nitrate data from the offsite bottled water sampling program will also be
evaluated. Terracon will prepare a draft report that will be submitted to the City of Lubbock and attorneys
for review and comments. Terracon will work with the City of Lubbock and attorneys to address any
comments and will prepare a final report. The report will be sealed by a licensed professional geoscientist
or licensed professional engineer. The report is due to the TCEQ by the end of May each year,
Task 4 - Project Management / Communications
During the course of the project, there will be times when Terracon will need to provide overall project
management duties, communicate with the City of Lubbock staff, attorneys, the TCEQ, and with Agri -
Waste Technologies (AWT) regarding routine matters or to address questions that arise from operations and
management of the HLAS and LLAS. This would also include ongoing technical consultation to support
sampling activities for the onsite and offsite areas. Initial meetings with City of Lubbock staff and the
TCEQ in Austin are addressed in Tasks 1.2 and 1.3. Additionally in Task 4, Terracon anticipates an
additional meeting with City of Lubbock.
Page 5 of I I
Task 5 — Recommendations for Revised Sampling Plan
The objective of this task will be to first utilize and review existing publicly available information to fill data
gaps that may exist since completion of area wide investigations completed by ARCADIS and the Texas Water
Commission in the late 1980s. The second objective of this task is to make recommendations concerning
possible revisions to the groundwater monitoring program. This task will initially involve an updated review of
publicly available water well information from the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB), the High Plains
Underground Water Conservation District, and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to
identify new or additional wells and publicly available groundwater quality data in the vicinity of the LLAS
since the time of preparation of the regional study completed as part of the original remediation plan submitted
in 1989. Since that time, it is anticipated that additional domestic and irrigation wells have been installed and
perhaps groundwater quality information will be available in public databases. In late 2009, Terracon
subcontracted with an environmental data management firm to complete a water well search of publicly
available data on wells in the vicinity of LLAS and to obtain current land/well ownership. Based on the
preliminary review of that information, several hundred wells and well owners were identified. The updated
water well database will be compared to the previous available data including those wells sampled as part of the
City of Lubbock's bottled water sampling program in order to make recommendations for possible revisions to
the groundwater monitoring program. This task may include the identification of private irrigation wells that, if
groundwater quality information could be obtained, could add to the existing groundwater quality database and
further guide the installation of future groundwater monitoring wells. It is assumed that the City of Lubbock
can provide the names and addresses of the wells sampled as part of the bottled water sampling program.
Task 6 - Deep Seated Nitrogen Investigation at HLAS
Irrigated cropland is a direct and indirect source of salts and nitrate in recharge to the High Plains aquifer. In
the Southern High Plains, playa lakes are thought be important topographic features for capturing rainfall and
irrigation run-off and focusing it as recharge to the underlying groundwater. Research by the USGS also notes
that large subsoil nitrate deposits from both natural and agricultural sources exist in the High Plains.
Soil Borings and Nitrogen Analysis
The scope of work presented herein includes the advancement of five soil borings at selected locations at the
HLAS to include irrigated areas, and non -irrigated areas adjacent to what appear to be former playa lakes or
topographic depressions which may have potentially held ponded effluent in historical times. The proposed
costs assume Terracon labor and oversight but also assume that City of Lubbock sampling technicians familiar
with the site and protocols will provide sampling support and assistance. Soils will be collected continuously
using a split barrel sampling device and logged by a Terracon geoscientist. Sample aliquots will be collected at
approximately two foot intervals and archived by the laboratory. Initially, samples from approximately every
four foot interval will be analyzed in the laboratory for soil nitrate (EPA Method 300.0) and soil moisture
content to allow the results to be reported on a dry -weight basis. If elevated nitrate concentrations are observed,
additional archived samples from adjacent intervals will also be analyzed for nitrate and soil moisture content.
In addition, up to a total of five soil samples will be analyzed by sieve analysis (ASTM D Method D422) for
grain size distribution. Also, three to five soil samples will be collected for geotechnical analysis of total
porosity and volumetric air and water content. At the proposed locations for the deep seated nitrogen
investigation, the depth to the water table is expected to range between 70 to 100 feet below grade. For the
purpose of this cost estimate, it is assumed that the borings will extend to an average depth of 90 feet below
grade and that the spoils (soil cuttings) can be spread onsite on nearby roadways of pivot irrigator tracks.
Terracon will meet with the City of Lubbock to approve the precise locations of the proposed borings and will
help coordinate utility clearance with Texas One Call (Dig -Tess). The City of Lubbock will be responsible for
identifying the location of private subsurface utilities not identified during the Dig Tess utility clearance.

Task 7 — Supplemental Deep Seated Nitrogen Investigation at LLAS
Soil Borings and Nitrogen Analysis
The scope of work presented herein includes the advancement of five supplemental soil borings at selected
locations at the LLAS to include irrigated areas, and non -irrigated areas adjacent to what appear to be former
playa lakes or topographic depressions which may have potentially held ponded effluent in historical times. The
proposed scope of work is intended to supplement similar work completed in 2011 which identified potential
sources of deep seated nitrogen in unsaturated soils beneath certain areas of the LLAS. The proposed costs
assume Terracon labor and oversight but also assume that City of Lubbock sampling technicians familiar with
the site and protocols will provide sampling support and assistance. Soils will be collected continuously using a
split barrel sampling device and logged by a Terracon geoscientist. Sample aliquots will be collected at
approximately two foot intervals and archived by the laboratory. Initially, samples from approximately every
four foot interval will be analyzed in the laboratory for soil nitrate (EPA Method 300.0) and soil moisture
content to allow the results to be reported on a dry -weight basis. If elevated nitrate concentrations are observed,
additional archived samples from adjacent intervals will also be analyzed for nitrate and soil moisture content.
In addition, up to a total of five soil samples will be analyzed by sieve analysis (ASTM D Method D422) for
grain size distribution. Also, three to five soil samples will be collected for geotechnical analysis of total
porosity and volumetric air and water content. At the proposed locations for the deep seated nitrogen
investigation, the depth to the water table is expected to range between 70 to 100 feet below grade. For the
purpose of this cost estimate, it is assumed that the borings will extend to an average depth of 90 feet below
grade and that the spoils (soil cuttings) can be spread onsite on nearby roadways of pivot irrigator tracks.
Terracon will meet with the City of Lubbock to approve the precise locations of the proposed borings and will
help coordinate utility clearance with Texas One Call (Dig -Tess). The City of Lubbock will be responsible for
identifying the location of private subsurface utilities not identified during the Dig Tess utility clearance.
Task 8 — Refine LLAS Unsaturated Zone Model for Future Nitrate Loading
The objective of Task 8 will be to build upon the unsaturated zone modeling work in 2011 to predict nitrate
travel times and loading rates to the underlying groundwater. Existing nitrogen and water balance estimates
calculated by AWT over the last decade of effluent application will be reviewed along with other data
obtained from previous investigations of deep seated nitrogen performed by the City of Lubbock and
Terracon to improve the understanding of the likely distribution of unsaturated nitrate beneath the LLAS.
This information, along with the future assumed effluent application or irrigation rates, will be input to the
HYDRUS unsaturated zone transport model, a public domain code, to predict the likely nitrate transport and
loading over time to the water table and to evaluate nitrate source management options. Terracon will
procure the services of Dr. Ken Rainwater and his associates to develop the HYDRUS model simulations.
This nitrate loading information predicted by the HYDRUS unsaturated model will serve as input to future
simulations of the saturated LLAS groundwater model using MODFLOW-MT3D described in Task 9
below.
In previous saturated zone groundwater modeling efforts, the values of the nitrate input with recharge in the
LLAS MODFLOW-MT3D model were based on calibration to fit the historical groundwater nitrate
distributions and informed by the distribution of applied effluent across the different LLAS irrigation plots.
When these nitrate inputs were used in the 5 -year groundwater model predictions, it was assumed that the
near future would be like the recent past. However, when longer simulations of 30 years are made, the
uncertainty of those calibrated nitrate inputs persisting over the entire 30 year period becomes much more
questionable. As proposed herein, an improved understanding of longer term loading and groundwater
impact could be achieved with the use of the HYDRUS unsaturated zone model.
Two conditions and nitrogen source management strategies will be modeled. In the first condition, input to
the HYDRUS model will be the assumed current vertical distribution of nitrate in the unsaturated zone as
Page 7 of 11
the starting condition, and then applying irrigation water with the assumed current nitrogen concentrations
in a manner similar to previous and planned future LLAS effluent application rates. In the second
condition, input to the HYDRUS model will be the assumed current vertical distributions of nitrate in the
unsaturated zone as the starting condition, but it will be assumed that no further effluent application takes
place at the LLAS and only rainwater would be the infiltrating liquid to transport the residual nitrogen to
the underlying water table. This modeling approach should provide a much more realistic and defensible
approach to predicting future nitrate loadings to the water table under the two conditions proposed above
and can be used to guide the overall remedial strategy.
One project meeting is included in the scope of this task in order to meet with City of Lubbock personnel to
discuss the results of the study effort and the draft report. Terracon will prepare a draft report that will be
submitted to the City of Lubbock and attorneys for review and comments.
Task 9 — Evaluation of Conceptual Alternative Groundwater Remedial Approaches
The objective of this task will be to integrate the findings of the 2011 work which evaluated alternative
pumping scenarios, with the unsaturated zone modeling work in order to develop conceptual alternative
groundwater remedial approaches at the LLAS. The improvements from the unsaturated zone modeling
described above, along with the assumed nitrogen concentration in the applied effluent following the recent
completion of the Southeast Water Reclamation Plant (SEWRP) upgrades will be used to modify the
recharge and nitrate levels in the recharge for future simulations of LLAS pumping. As described below
the conceptual alternative approaches with various groundwater pumping locations will be developed and
the MODFLOW/MT31) groundwater flow model will be used to perform long-term (up to 30 -year)
simulations. Terracon will procure the services of Dr. Ken Rainwater and his associates to develop the
MODFLOW/MT31) model simulations. Based on the uncertain nature of what the long term simulations
will show, combined with the uncertain conceptual costs associated with constructing and operating these
conceptual approaches, Terracon proposes to submit a draft report of the results of the long term
simulations for future discussion and consideration by the City of Lubbock. At this point in time, in
consideration of the above uncertainties, development of conceptual costs to construct and operate the
conceptual plans is not included in Terracon's scope of work in 2012. Furthermore, based on the same
uncertainties, Terracon believes it would be premature to develop a revised groundwater remediation plan
to be submitted to the TCEQ.
As discussed above, alternative pumping scenarios at LLAS were evaluated in 2011 that involved various
pumping and relatively simplified land application/recharge assumptions. The first scenario evaluated
potential optimization that might be possible by utilizing recovery well locations within the constraints of
the existing pipeline to the Jim Bertram Lake System (JBLS) and ground storage tank system. The second
scenario also evaluated a recovery configuration with potential lower overall yield that would avoid the use
of recovery wells from the general area where relatively elevated selenium concentrations have been
detected in order to reduce the selenium concentrations discharged to the JBLS. In general, groundwater
capture zones and groundwater quality improvement over these 30 -year future scenarios were confined to
the general area of the existing recovery wells. Additional scenarios were developed that included the
consideration of alternative pumping centers and locations that involved significantly higher overall
groundwater recovery rates and their potential impact on improved hydraulic control. In general, estimated
plume nitrate mass reduction was improved by targeting areas of higher concentration in the scenarios
simulated, with improved hydraulic control in some areas. However, the modeled scenarios investigated in
2011 demonstrated that groundwater cleanup times were shown to be very sensitive to the assumed nitrogen
concentration and loading of the applied i rrigation/rec barge water, and that complete hydraulic control
would require additional pumping wells.
The proposed approaches to be developed and simulated in proposed Task 9 are described below:
Page 8 of 11
Approach 1) Land application of effluent is continued in a manner similar to 2011 practices and is reflective
of SEWRP upgrades. Groundwater recovery pumping centers are optimized and new recovery wells are
added to further optimize remediation. The overall groundwater recovery rate would be constrained by the
current pipeline capacity to pump to the JBLS.
Approach 2) Land application of effluent is continued in a manner similar to 2011 practices. Groundwater
recovery pumping centers are optimized and new recovery wells are added to further optimize remediation.
However, overall groundwater recovery rate is allowed to increase by either diverting some recovered
groundwater to the LLAS reservoir for re-application to selected LLAS plots where it would be
hydraulically controlled, or by assuming the pipeline to JBLS is increased and all recovered groundwater is
pumped to JBLS without any land application of recovered groundwater.
It should be noted that the proposed simulations to be completed in fiscal year 2012, do not include an
evaluation or simulation of the impacts of the possible future construction of a Proposed Lake 7 in Yellow
House Canyon to the south of the LLAS.
One project meeting is included in the scope of this task in order to meet with City of Lubbock personnel to
discuss the results of the study effort and the draft report. Terracon will prepare a draft report that will be
submitted to the City of Lubbock and attorneys for review and comments.
Estimated costs to complete Tasks 1 through 9 are presented in Table 1. Please note that these costs are
conceptual in nature and were prepared for planning purposes only. In some cases, written cost estimates were
received from selected vendors and contractors and these estimates are subject to change depending on the
actual timeframe for the work and the exact nature and scope of the actual work performed. In other
circumstances, no written estimates were received and some costs were estimated based on Terracon's
experience with this and similar projects. It is also assumed that sampling technicians from the City of
Lubbock will be available to assist with the sampling activities to facilitate the overall effort.
