Clear Creek. The CITY has requested ENGINEER to prepare an application to the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to amend the existing Clear Creek Water
Reclamation Facility WWDP from 0.95 MGD to the maximum average daily flow TCEQ willallow on Clear Creek.
This WWDP amendment is consistent with the Wastewater Master Plan which identified the need
for a Wastewater Reclamation Facility (WRF) to serve expected growth. The WWDP
Amendment is the first step in moving forward with design, bidding, and construction of the
WRF that in necessary to serve the planned growth with future wastewater treatment capacity.

and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom ofthis document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a §O.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent

change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to

paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must

electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,

notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through

consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
