As per your request, SEG has reviewed the regulating NPDES permit and developed a scope of work to attempt to meet the stipulations set forth in Order No. 96-41 NPDES CAG919002. SCOPE OF SERVICES This scope of services is designed to be in compliance with Order No. 96-41, NPDES No. CAG919002. Smith -Emery proposes to meet the following requirements of the NPDES order: Prepare an NPDES Initial Compliance Report including the following components: • A discussion of the historical uses of the land subject to impacts from the production well operations, including a list of known or suspected leaking underground tanks (LUST Sites) and other facilities or operations which may have impacted the quality of underlying groundwaters; • Sampling of the effluent groundwater which will be discharged utilizing SJBA Well No.2 (pending RWQCB approval); • Water Samples will be analyzed for all constituents stipulated for production well discharges to Inland Surface Waters, as shown in the attached Laboratory Analytical Cost Breakdowns; NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COUW SACRAMENTO Copyright © 2002 Smith -Emery Company 1195 NORTH TUSTINAVENUE PHONE 9161374-0754 All Rights Reserved ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA 92807 SAN FRANCISCO PHONE 714/238-6133 PHONE 415/3343000 EXHIBIT "Art A• t FAX 714/238-6144 SMITH—EMERY GEQSERVICES 2. A Monitoring and Discharge Program will include obtaining one water sample during the discharge event and reporting on the following analyses: Total Nitrogen Flowrate To be provided daily by client/contractor) Total Phosphorus Hydrogen Sulfide Settleable Solids Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (HC -Range) Total Suspended Solids PH Acute Toxicity MTBE Base/Neutrals 126 Priority Pollutants One water sample will also be collected from the creek receiving waters during the discharge period and will be tested for turbidity. Based on the expected duration of the project (approximately one week), only one round of monitoring event is anticipated after the Initial Sampling is complete. The scope of the monitoring program is based on our experience and review of the permit requirements; the RWQCB may alter the requirements based on the findings of the initial compliance study. RWQCB will require signatures from the City of San Juan Capistrano Public Works. Fieldwork For the NPDES Initial Compliance Report, SEG may need assistance to gain access to the SJBA Well No. 2, pending RWQCB approval. The RWQCB General Dewatering Permit requires that an extensive analysis of the samples be performed as part of the permit application process. The analysis requires that for the initial sampling, water be delivered to the laboratory three times over the course of the week. The attached Cost Breakdown includes a listing of the required analyses per the Inland Surface Waters requirements. The Chronic Bioassay analysis consists of a week-long study of the effect of the effluent on three species; a vertebrate, and invertebrate, and a plant. We propose to conduct this analysis only on the initial effluent water sample. SCHEDULE We are prepared to initiate this work on receipt of a 30% retainer and a signed copy of our Terms and Conditions. The receiving waters of Trabuco Creek must be sampled once, and the effluent must be sampled three times to supply test water for the chronic bioassay analysis (chronic toxicity), preferably on a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The NPDES Initial Compliance Report would be available approximately one to two weeks after completion of the bioassay test results. The monitoring is estimated to require four field days, based on an approximate week duration for the project. It will require approximately two weeks to complete the final report after the project is closed. 2 SMITH -EMERY GEOSERVICES We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal and look forward to working with you.
