A Fayetteville Water and Sewer Committee meeting wil a h�JId April 14, 2009, 5:30 PM,
room 326, Fayetteville City Hall, following the Agenda Ses Ion. Proposed topics include:
1. Geosyntec White River Nutrient Reduction Studv. In August 2007 the City began working
with Geosyntec Consultants to develop a nutrient reduction plan based on the guidance in a 2006
agreement with the Beaver Water District. The Agreement called for the City to hire a nationally
recognized firm to evaluate sources of phosphorus within the White River Watershed portion of the
City; identify actions or projects to reduce nutrient loadings from nonpoint sources and determine the
potential phosphorus load reductions from these actions; and provide methods for documenting the
reduction achieved. The Agreement requires the City to spend $200,000 per year for five years to
implement non-point source reduction projects; this includes the development of the Nutrient
Reduction Plan. The Plan was developed in consultation with City staff and a Stakeholder Review
Group. The resulting plan includes a suite of projects to potentially be implemented in the City of
Fayetteville to reduce non-point source loading of phosphorus to the White River Watershed. Mark
Willobee of Geosyntec will be at the meeting to present the Nutrient Reduction Plan.

WATER/SEWER COMMITTEE AGENDA
a. Biosolids Handling design is underway. This project is being submitted for stimulus
funding approval.
b. WL-9 Change Orders 1 and 2 with Godwin and Goodwin for$38,474.40 and $200.00
respectively are attached. WL-9 covers for tieover and cutover of the west side wastewater
collection system. Change Order 1 allows for installation of variable frequency drives for the pumps
at the refitted Old Wire Road pump station. The variable frequency drives are required so the lift
station can pump the appropriate amounts of flow when pumping is required. Change Order 2
allows for demolition of 5 decommissioned lift stations, filling the dry well/repairing the floor at the
Poplar Street lift station and excavating and repairing leaks at the bottom of existing manholes. The
contractor's price was less than the cost of water and sewer executing the work in house. This
change order also reflects a reconciliation of work performed to date. A$77,000 contingency was
approved with this contract; $38,325.60 will remain in the contingency after both change orders.
c. WL-12 Change Order 2 with JL Bryson for work at the Farmington Lift Station is
attached. This change order, in the amount of$35,291.83, includes reinforcing rock anchors due to
very high ground water; adding concrete surface for future tractor trailer turn around inside fenced
area; and various small electrical modifications to meet Ozark Electric requirements. The cost share
between Far min ton and Fayetteville is below.

d. EL-3 and 5 Change Order 2 with SJ Louis Construction for$56,003.00, for the
construction of the gravity sewer main from Happy Hollow Road to Razorback Road, is attached.
This change order is required to revise frame and cover types on 4 manholes, add footing on 6'
piers, add lamination ramps at pier spans, conduct extra work on water lines, remove unknown
buried concrete near manhole 57 and also includes a delay due to a conflict with a gas line. It also
lengthens the contract time by 13 days for ice storm delays. A$420,000 contingency was approved
with the contract; $387,400 remains after Change Order 1. A balance of$331,397 will remain after
Change Order 2 is executed.
e. Persimmon Land Sale Agreement, which included 34.27 acres of land adjacent to
Persimmon Street on the West Side WWTP property, has been cancelled. Two checks, each for
$2,500.00, are being produced to return earnest money to Charley Sloan and JB Hays.
f. WSIP Construction Schedule & Cost Update will be distributed at meeting.
3. Highway 265 Water/Sewer Relocations and 36" Water Line design work is being executed by
McClelland Consulting Engineers. Easement acquisition is underway for the Township portion of
this work. The first phase of construction, the 36"water line on Township between Crossover and
Old Wire Road is expected to begin in June or July. The bond issue comes before the City Council
on April 21, 2009. These bonds will be used to pay for all of the Township work and the City's
portion of the design.
4. Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project Update.
a. Insituform Sewer Pipe Lining Term Contract work is complete for the 2008 work order for
8,725' of 6" — 12" cured in place pipe (CIPP) lining. The CIPP process involves lining existing sewer
pipes with a new pipe that saves digging, costs less than traditional dig and replace work, and
essentially installs a new water tight pipe within the existing pipeline. Under this work order,
approximately 9,000' of pipe can be essentially replaced. The 2009 term renewal Council packet is
attached. Staff requests this be approved for forwarding for City Council approval.
b. Minisystems 5, 6, 13A, 20 and 32 sanitary sewer evaluation study(SSES)flow
monitoring, inspecting approximately 810 manholes and 175,000 feet of sewer mains preliminary
report is being reviewed by staff. The work identified within this report will be submitted for stimulus

few items of in-house work will remain at several lift stations to completely finish tie-over work.
Construction on this complex project is proceeding very well.
DISCUSSION
This change order allows for installation of variable frequency drives for the pumps at the refitted Old
Wire Road pump station. The variable frequency drives are required so the lift station can pump the
appropriate amounts of flow when pumping is required.
BUDGETIMPACT
A $77,000 contingency was approved with this contract; none has been used to date. $38,525.60 will
remain in the contingency after this change order.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor and City Council
Thru: David Jurgens, Public Utilities Director
Don Man, Chief of Staff
From: Shannon Jones, Engineering 5=T
Date: April 10, 2009
Subject: Resolution approving a contract extension with hisituform Technologies, Inc. for
cured-in-place sanitary sewer linings.
RECOMMENDATION
Fayetteville City Administration recommends renewal of the construction contract with Insituform
Technologies, Inc., and approving an authorization totaling$330,000.00, for sanitary sewer lining
services. This contract will provide services for 2009 and is included in the Sanitary Sewer
Rehabilitation project within the Fiscal Year 2009 Budget.
BACKGROUND
On April 16,2008 the City of Fayetteville accepted sealed competitive bids for sanitary sewer main
line and service lateral lining services with Insituform Technologies submitting the successful bid
proposal(see attached materials). This contract maybe renewed for additional periods up to four(4)
additional contract periods beyond the original bid. This is the first of the four renewals. The bid
schedule includes specific unit prices for various items of work; with the sanitary sewer
rehabilitation program then using the pricing to complete the annual rehabilitation program. The
exact needs of each rehabilitation activity cannot be explicitly defined until the final design is
completed, hence the unit price bid schedule to correlate costs to project scopes.
DISCUSSION
The direct contracting with Insituform Technologies allows the City of Fayetteville to execute its
sanitary sewer rehabilitation program effectively and efficiently. It is effective as the administrative
delays and costs are minimized due to the annual contract and pre-established pricing. Pipes being
lined under this contract are either identified by City forces through normal maintenance operations
or by consultants executing Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Studies. Either way, engineering and
administrative costs are held to a bare minimum as formal plans and specifications are not required.
This work is an integral part of the City's ongoing program to maintain its sewer system in the most
long-term yet cost effective fashion,with cured-in-place linings being by far the lowest cost strategy
for applications where it is appropriate.
Although the contract allows for a limited price increase each year,Insituform has agreed to execute
the work at the original price bid in 2008.
BUDGETIMPACT
Funds are available in the 2009 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project budget.

UTILITIES DEPARTMENT CORRESPONDENCE
To: Mayor Lioneld Jordan
Fayetteville Water and Sewer Committee
Thru: Don Marr, Chief of Staff
From: David Jurgens, Utilities Director
Date: 27 March 2009
Subject: USEPA Proposed 0.1 Phosphorus Limit for Illinois River Basin NPDES Permits
The USEPA response to ADEQ about the 0.1 NACA phosphorus limit is attached. EPA is not backing
down from the 0.1 phosphorus limit.
The second to last paragraph in the letter summarizes with "Therefore,by this letter, EPA is notifying
you that the revised draft permit for NACA submitted to EPA by ADEQ on February 13, 2009, is not
sufficient to comply with EPA's specific objection. Instead, we ask that ADEQ resubmit a draft permit
that includes language specifying that a final water-quality based effluent limit of 0.1 mg/1 phosphorus
applies to the NACA facility as of June 30, 2012."
The third to last paragraph gives wiggle room in the event new data is presented that changes the water
quality protection requirements. It ends with the following, implying that EPA does not feel new data
will change their position "However, EPA believes a total phosphorus limit of 0.1 mg/1 is necessary to
protect the water quality of the receiving stream from any discharges associated with the NACA
facility."
Below is a list provided by USEPA current as of January showing eight treatment plant permits with a
0.11 mg/1 or stricter phosphorus permit limit- it appears that these plants may be all that are currently
required by permit to meet such a strict limit in the entire country. Three of these are larger than our
West Side WWTP. Staff is continuing to investigate alternatives, including techniques in use at these
treatment facilities and others with low phosphorus discharges.

Staff is developing a preliminary cost estimate using lime precipitation as the method of treatment.
This is in use at one or more of these plants. This is typically a drinking water treatment process,but
staff feels certain it would work for Fayetteville. That is not to say or imply that some other method
may not work,but with only eight plants in the country, the range of options to reach a permit limit of
0.1 (effectively guaranteeing attainment, as opposed to reaching an average of that number) is limited.
Also, as a very advanced treatment method, there are more variables introduced with wastewater
characteristics, weather seasonal impacts,peaking factors during high flow, etc. The cost estimate will
also include rough numbers for operational costs, which will also increase. The estimate will only be
for the West Side WWTP, as it is the permit for which the 0.1 limit is being discussed.
Based on EPA's firm position, I believe we need to provide a finalized cost estimate, recognizing it is
very preliminary, along with supporting data, to our state and national level elected representatives.
We should request their support on the basis of the significant cost burden our citizens and rate payers
would bear, over and above what they are already providing, and the minimal benefit derived from the
expense.

Re: NPDES Permit No.AR0050024-NACA
Dear Ms.Marks:
Thank you for your letter dated February 13, 2009,regarding the Environmental
Protection Agency Region 6's (EPA) specific objection to the draft National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System(NPDES)permit for the Northwest Arkansas Conservation
Authority(NACA) submitted to EPA for review by the Arkansas Department of
Environmental Quality(ADEQ). We appreciate the State of Arkansas' strong commitment
to water quality and commend you on the numerous actions taken over the last several years
to address phosphorus and sediment issues in the Illinois River watershed.
As you are aware,under the Clean Water Act(CWA),EPA is tasked with ensuring
that state-issued NPDES permits meet all the requirements of the CWA and its
implementing regulations,including the requirement that all permits contain effluent limits
sufficient to meet the water quality standards of all affected states. In January 2009,based
on preliminary data,EPA determined that the 1 mg/1 phosphorus effluent limit included in
the draft NACA permit was not stringent enough to be protective of Arkansas water quality
standards or those of the downstream State. Accordingly, we objected to issuance of the
permit as drafted. Your February 13`11 letter included a revised draft permit submitted in
response to EPA's specific objection letter of January 16, 2009.
Although we believe the revised draft permit complies with EPA's objection with
regard to the required additional monitoring for total phosphorus(TP)and dissolved oxygen
(DO),we believe the revised draft permit still falls short of the requirements of the CWA
and 40 C.F.R. Part 122 with regard to the water-quality based effluent limitation for
phosphorus. EPA does not object to ADEQ's issuance of a 3-year permit to NACA.
However,as we have previously discussed,EPA will not object to a total phosphorus limit
o€1 mg/1 for the NACA facility until June 30, 2012, based on the Statement of Joint
Principles and Actions agreed to by Arkansas and Oklahoma environmental agencies in
2003. That agreement was intended to act as a complement to the provision allowing
compliance schedules included in Oklahoma's 0.037 mg/1 criterion for phosphorus in its six
(6) scenic rivers. Oklahoma's 0.037 mg/1 criterion included a compliance schedule
provision allowing point source dischargers up to 10 years from July 1,2002, or until June
30,2012,to come into compliance with permit limits based on the criterion.

Letter to Teresa Marks
Page 2of3
The inclusion of compliance schedules in NPDES permits for the purpose of
achieving water quality standards was addressed by the EPA Administrator in In the Matter
of Star-Kist Caribe, Inc., 3 E.A.D. 172 (1990). In Star-Kist the Administrator interpreted
§301(b)(1)(C) of the CWA to mean that compliance schedules are allowed for effluent
limitations based on standards adopted after July 1, 1977, only if the State has clearly
indicated in its water quality standards or implementing regulations that it intends to allow
them. In this instance, Oklahoma's water quality standards indicate the intent to include
with the State's phosphorus criterion a provision allowing compliance schedules.
However,the standards also provide that compliance schedules are to end as of June 30,
2012, and as of that date,all dischargers must comply with effluent limits designed to meet
the 0.037 mg/1 criterion.
EPA further addressed the inclusion of compliance schedules in NPDES permits for
the purpose of achieving water quality standards in a 2007 memorandum from the Office of
Wastewater Management(enclosed). That memorandum enumerates certain principles
applicable to assessing whether a compliance schedule for achieving water quality-based
effluent limits is consistent with the CWA and its implementing regulations. Two of the
enumerated principles are as follows:
Any compliance schedule contained in an NPDES permit must include an
enforceable final effluent limitation and a date for its achievement that is within the
timeframe allowed by the applicable State or federal law provision authorizing
compliance schedules as required by CWA sections 301(b)(1)(C); 502(17);the
Administrator's decision in Star-Kist Caribe, Inc. 3 E.A.D. 172, 175, 177-178
(1990);and 40 C.F.R. § 122.2, 122.44(d) and 122.44(d)(1)(vii)(A);and
Any compliance schedule that extends past the expiration date of a permit must
include the final effluent limitations in the permit in order to ensure enforceability of
the compliance schedule as required by CWA section 502(17) and 40 C.F.R. § 122.2
"Memorandum from Jim Hanlon, Director of the EPA Office of Wastewater Management,
to Alexis Strauss, Water Division Director, EPA Region 9, dated May 70, 2007."
In this instance, a permit limit of 0.1 mg/1 is necessary in order for the permit to
comply with the requirement of the CWA that the permit include an effluent limit as
stringent as necessary to meet water quality standards. The 1 mg/1 phosphorus limit
proposed for the NACA facility is an interim limit included as part of a compliance schedule
ending June 30,2012. Therefore,based on the above,NACA's permit,regardless of its
term,must include an enforceable final effluent limitation for phosphorus stringent enough
to meet water quality standards and a date for its achievement that is on or before June 30,
2012.1 The permit should also include an enforceable sequence of actions or operations
leading to compliance with the water quality-based effluent limit(40 C.F.R. § 122.2).
1 The June 15, 2012 date referenced in EPA's January 16, 2009, Specific Objection letter
was in error. The correct date is June 30, 2012.
Page 22 of 29 -
Letter to Teresa Marks
Page 3 of 3
We understand that ADEQ disagrees with EPA's determination that Osage Creek is
impaired for phosphorus and we are aware of the State's ongoing study of that water body.
We are also aware of Oklahoma's commitment under the Joint Statement of Principles and
Actions to reevaluate its 0.037 mg/l criterion for phosphorus by 2012. As EPA has stated
previously, should new data indicate that a phosphorus limit of other than 0.1 mg/l is
appropriate for this facility,the permit limit may be revised. However,EPA believes a total
phosphorus limit of 0.1 mg/1 is necessary to protect the water quality of the receiving stream
from any discharges associated with the NACA facility.
Therefore, by this letter,EPA is notifying you that the revised draft permit for
NACA submitted to EPA by ADEQ on February 13,2009, is not sufficient to comply with
EPA's specific objection. Instead,we ask that ADEQ resubmit a draft permit that includes
language specifying that a final water-quality based effluent limit of 0.1 mg/l phosphorus
applies to the NACA facility as of June 30,2012.
Thank you for your efforts to improve the environment. If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact me at(214)665-7311 or Mguel Flores at(214)665-7101.
