PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The Wastewater Department operates the James R Dilorio Water Reclamation Facility
which treats municipal wastewater for the City. The Water Reclamation Facility has a
Discharger Specific Variance for selenium and sulfate that was approved June 2018. This
variance has annual requirements to perform projects that will stop infiltration of
groundwater that is extremely high in selenium and sulfate. One area with known high
selenium and sulfate in the groundwater was set up as a study area to determine
effectiveness. This area was sampled for one year prior to starting an effort to line the
mains, grout the manholes and grout the taps. Groundwater wells were installed to
monitor the effect on the groundwater table and groundwater quality. Wildhorse Creek
was monitored to determine if impacts were seen. Arcadis will be evaluating the data
collected to follow up on the study area for the Variance review hearing with the Water
Quality Control Commission, December 2020.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The cost of the agreement with Arcadis to perform the follow up study will not exceed
$17,540. Funds are available from the Sewer User Fund and have been appropriated to
Project No. WW1503.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable.
