Application information includes, but is not limited to, description of the existing facility, listing of the major treatment units with dimensions of each unit, process flow diagram(s), facility site plan, location maps(s), and results of pollutant analyses of effluent. ENGINEER will provide draft copies of all permit application documents for City review. Comments from the City will be appropriately incorporated into the application. ENGINEER will coordinate closely with the City to make sure the permit application will be complete at the time of submittal. A total of seven copies of the final application document will be prepared for the permit; two copies are for City’s files, one copy is for public display, and four copies will be submitted to the TCEQ. An application fee will be due to the TCEQ at the time the application is submitted. The application fee will be the responsibility of the City. • • Meetings: • Four (4) two-hour virtual meetings with TCEQ • Six (6) one-hour progress meetings with the City (monthly) Deliverables: • Meeting agenda and minutes for TCECI coordination meetings • Draft and final permit application (copies outlined above) • Monthly copies of the risk register, schedule recovery plan, implementation schedule • Data analysis and basis of design document in Excel format • Implementation plan technical memorandum (schedule, OPCC, basis of design and summary of necessary improvements) Task 320 - Pecan Creek Water Quality Modeling TCEQ uses a water quality model to simulate the impacts of a wastewater discharge on the receiving water body. The model is used to identify permit limits for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), and ammonia protective of the receiving water quality standard for dissolved oxygen. Revised February 8, 2021 Page 14 of 17 DocuSign Envelope ID: 124F6134-73BC-4C9F-9631-225367AAOB04 Hazen =W• Around the year 2000, TCEQ updated the modeling protocol and applied it during the City’s permit renewal. Using the updated modeling approach, TCECI could not identify practical permit limits. In response, the City, in cooperation with TCEQ developed a site-specific model to identify practical permit limits. TCEQ accepted the modeling approach and the limits developed in the early 2000s are still in effect in the current permit. A permit amendment will require updating the model, especially with regard to the increased permit flow. Updating this model is not straightforward since this model was calibrated based on field data and the increases considered during the model development did not predict results that adhered to TCECl’s effluent set guidelines. In addition, the modeling platform used for the previous assessment is only used for renewals, and amendment applications require using a current model version. Importing or converting the old model files to the new format is not possible, a new model using the new platform will be required. TCEQ provided the ENGINEER with the existing model, associated files, and memos. The review of the old water quality model indicates that the receiving water may have assimilative capacity beyond 21 MGD, however, new data and the new modeling software may lead to a different conclusion. ENGINEER will perform the following tasks: • • • ENGINEER will use available data, including water quality data in the receiving water, and TCEQ accepted protocol, to develop a new water quality model to identify BOD, TSS, and ammonia permit limits needed to protect the water quality standard. ENGINEER will adhere to TCEQ guidance, model calibration will be necessary, significant effort may be required for model calibration because of the complex dynamics in lake backwater conditions. ENGINEER will notify the City if additional site-specific data collection is necessary, such as to update the bathymetry data in the model. ENGINEER will work with TCEQ water quality modeling staff during the modeling approach to ensure that the approach will be acceptable to the TCECI. The ENGINEER will develop a re-rate plan for the City including compiling necessary permit application documents for a new Texas Pollution Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) permit with TCEQ. • Scope Item Assumptions: • This task does not include development of the model in a different platform. Task 340 Additional Water Quality Modeling may be used by the City, if switching to a different modeling platform is required by TCEQ.

Deliverables: • Water Quality Modeling files approved by TCEQ for the City’s records • Relevant correspondence with TCEQ for the City’s records Task 330 - Permit Application Submission and Approval Support ENGINEER will provide services related to technical and regulatory review of the draft TPDES permit prepared by the TCECL which includes the following: •ENGINEER will assist the City in response to TCE(I requests for additional information during the technical review of the permit application. ENGINEER also will assist the City in tracking the application through the permitting process. TCECI may request minor changes to the application during the technical review process. ENGINEER will provide the City with necessary changes to ensure the public viewing copy is up to date. ENGINEER will review the initial draft permit and assist the City with a written response, including requests for changes to the permit. ENGINEER will review TCECl’s revised draft permit for consistency with any requested changes. ENGINEER may also communicate via telephone with TCEC! permitting staff during this process. For purposes of this scope, it is assumed that the revised draft of the permit will be acceptable to the City and further rounds of draft permit review will not be necessary. A public notice of the TCECl’s decision to amend the permit will be required by the TCEQ. Bilingual notification requirements may require additional publication in Spanish. ENGINEER will assist the City with publication of notices, including working with the appropriate newspapers to ensure notices are correct and published as required. ENGINEER will also obtain the required proof of publication and will submit necessary documentation to the TCEQ. The cost of publication, payable to the newspapers, will be the responsibility of the City. ENGINEER will review the final issued permit to verify that the permit reflects the conditions that the City accepted during the draft permit process. ENGINEER will contact TCECI to make necessary corrections, if necessary. • • • Meetings: • No additional meetings are included in this task Deliverables: • Copies of permits as outlined above Task 340 - Additional Water Quality Modeling Allowance Revised February 8, 2021 Page 16 of 17 DocuSign Envelope ID: 124F6134-73BC4C9F-9631-225367AAOB04 Hazen = TCEQ may require an alternate modeling platform after receiving analysis results from the ENGINEER, as discussed in Task 320. This requires the ENGINEER to re-develop the model in an alternate platform. This task is an allowance to be authorized by the City upon receiving and approving a detailed scope and level of effort from the ENGINEER. This task is to be billed on a time and materials, not to exceed basis.
