Re: Professional Services for Fisheating Creek Campground

WWTP Monitoring Well Program Implementation and Supplemental Effluent Report

Glades County, FL

Dear Ms. Weaver:

Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (“Kimley-Horn”), is pleased to submit this proposal to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (“FWC”) for professional civil and environmental engineering services for the implementation of a groundwater monitoring program and generation of a supplemental effluent report for the existing Fisheating Creek (“FEC”) Campground Wastewater Treatment Plant

(“WWTP”) located in Glades County, Florida. Our project understanding, scope of services, and fees are described below.

Project Understanding

FWC currently owns and subcontracts operation of an extended aeration activated sludge WWTP with a permitted capacity of 0.025 MGD based on three month average daily flows (TMADF). Under the

FEC WWTP September 15, 2020 operating permit renewal, the Florida Department of Environmental

Protection (FDEP) issued an Administrative Order (AO-014269-006) based on the Lake Okeechobee

Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP). The Administrative Order (AO) requires the Permittee (FWC) to submit an Effluent Quality Report prepared by a Professional Engineer evaluating the FWC FEC

WWTP total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) loading at the edge of the zone of discharge and assess nutrient contribution to the Fisheating Creek Subwatershed.

The latest Effluent Quality Report was submitted to FDEP in December 2022 and included effluent water quality data from March 2022 to October 2022. The findings of the report revealed low wastewater flow and relatively small exceedances for total nitrogen and total phosphorus, suggesting the impact of the plant’s discharge to the Lake Okeechobee Watershed was extremely small. In addition, the current sample collection point for total nitrogen and total phosphorus compliance was found to be at the effluent discharge from the chlorine contact chamber. This location does not account for any nutrient uptake from bottom vegetation or soils in the percolation ponds located onsite. With the small exceedances appearing for the nutrients in the evaluation, securing upgradient and downgradient groundwater samples was recommended to provide more accurate representation of compliance and the impact on groundwater quality. For this reason, the latest effluent report submitted in December

2022 requested an update to the operating permit and associated administrative order action item (c.)

from October 31, 2022 to April 15, 2024 and action item (d.) from March 31, 2023 to September 15

2024. This additional time was proposed to allow FWC a period of 15 months for the following events to occur prior to March 15, 2025 to satisfy the requirements of the Lake Okeechobee BMAP assuming a contract start date prior to January 15, 2023.

Change Order o Task 1: Implementation of Groundwater Monitoring Program (4 to 6 months).

▪ Phase 1: Site testing, development of groundwater monitoring plan, monitoring well system design, and permitting through FDEP to update the existing operating permit to remove the OTH-01 monitoring location and implement a groundwater monitoring program

▪ Phase 2: Construction of groundwater monitoring system and sampling for primary and secondary drinking water parameters o Task 2: Evaluation period for effluent TN and TP monitoring using the proposed groundwater monitoring system. Samples to be taken at each proposed monitoring well – (6 months).

o Task 3: Collect, review, and evaluate the TN and TP data from the evaluation period using the proposed monitoring well system and submit an updated effluent compliance report to satisfy AO

– (3 months).

o Administrative Order action item (d.) – (5 months – end date September 15, 2024 per AO) o Administrative Order action item (e.) – (6 months – end date March 15, 2025 per AO)

In association with the administrative order an additional permit revision to the FDEP Operating Permit is scheduled to be issued in January 2023. The permit revision modified Section III, Condition 2, which will include the following compliance schedule:

The FWC requested Kimley-Horn prepare a scope of services to assist in completing Tasks No. 1 through No. 3 in the timeframe listed to satisfy the AO requirements. The following scope of services is provided for professional engineering to facilitate the implementation of a Groundwater Monitoring

Program (Task No. 1). Kimley-Horn will facilitate laboratory activities for sampling throughout the evaluation period and generate a Supplemental Effluent Report at the end of the evaluation period to submit to FDEP (Task No. 2 and 3) under a separate proposal and work authorization at the request of

FWC.

Scope of Services

TASK NO. 1 – GROUNDWATER MONITORING PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION

Task 1.a

• Kimley-Horn will utilize the services of RMA GeoLogic Consultants, Inc. (RMA or hydrogeologist) to conduct site testing, develop a groundwater monitoring report, design of monitoring well system, and prepare permit documents to be submitted to FDEP to implement a groundwater monitoring program.

Action Item Due Date

a. Sample the effluent monthly for total nitrogen and total phosphorus concentrations. This shall be a “report” only requirement during the active administrative order.

Beginning November 1,

b. Retain a licensed engineer or geologist to evaluate the effluent quality of total nitrogen and total phosphorus.

February 1, 2021

c. Submit a licensed engineer or geologist’s report demonstrating that the effluent discharge does not cause or contribute to total nitrogen or total phosphorus violations at the edge of the zone of discharge.

April 15, 2024

d. If the report provided to the Department does not demonstrate that the effluent discharge does not cause or contribute to total nitrogen or total phosphorus violations, the permittee shall:

i. Submit a complete application to modify the treatment facility for nutrient removal, or

ii. Submit a complete application to modify the reuse or disposal system, or

iii. Submit an application for a domestic wastewater collection system connection to another wastewater treatment facility

September 15, 2024

e. The permittee shall commence construction of the chosen modifications. March 15, 2025

• Kimley-Horn will conduct one (1) preliminary site visit with FWC and the hydrogeologist to investigate existing plant and percolation pond conditions.

• Kimley-Horn will provide a brief technical memorandum summarizing the hydrogeologist’s findings based on delineation of the local hydrogeology. These findings will then be used by the hydrogeologist to develop a groundwater monitoring program, provide the locations of the proposed monitoring wells based on mapped groundwater flow direction at the site, include the analytical parameters to be monitored on a quarterly basis, and design the construction detail for the proposed monitoring wells. The hydrogeologist will retain a qualified well contractor to install up to three monitoring wells.

Task 1.b

• Kimley-Horn will conduct one (1) site visit with FWC and the hydrogeologist to observe monitoring well construction. The hydrogeologist will provide wellsite hydrogeological and well construction supervision services for the drilling and testing of the wells. After the wells are installed, they will be purged and sampled for primary and secondary drinking water parameters in compliance with Florida Administrative Code (FAC) Rule 62-520.600(5)-(a)-2. The water samples will be collected and analyzed by an NELAC certified laboratory.

Task 1.c

• Task 1.c.1: Kimley-Horn will utilize surveying services of O’Neal Surveying & Mapping, Inc. to generate survey coordinates and top of well casing elevations of the newly constructed monitoring wells.

• Task 1.c.2: Kimley-Horn will utilize services of a NELAC certified laboratory to analyze monitoring well samples for Primary and Secondary Drinking Water Standards in compliance with FAC.

Task 1.d

• Task 1.d.1: Kimley-Horn will submit applicable FDEP forms to update the existing operating permit to remove the OTH-01 monitoring location and implement a groundwater monitoring program.
