QEEC <br />ENVIRONMENTAL <br />devices. In collaboration with the City, EEC has outlined a series of guidance documents geared <br />towards assisting business owners in more clearly understanding cross -connection program <br />requirements. An initial draft of the manual for food processing facilities has been prepared and <br />is under review by City personnel. As assigned, EEC will continue to assist the City in the <br />development of additional cross -connection program guidance manuals for other business <br />sectors including services, manufacturing, medical, restricted operations, and miscellaneous <br />other facilities. <br />Additionally, several private and City owned properties are served by recycled water supplies. <br />EEC can continue to support the documentation and field verification efforts for these on -site <br />recycled water conveyance systems. These efforts will continue to be performed in close <br />coordination with City personnel with the resulting findings and drawings being prepared in a <br />manner suitable for import into the City's GIS database. <br />The estimated level of effort for as -assigned cross -connection program support services is <br />projected at approximately 150-200 hours. <br />Potable Water Discharge Permitting and Monitoring <br />EEC can continue to assist the City with the renewals of the permitting and monitoring <br />associated with the City drinking water system discharges. EEC is intimately familiar with the <br />permitting requirements and will assist the City with routine monitoring and reporting as well as <br />permit renewals. EEC will continue to train City personnel on the monitoring and reporting <br />requirements of this state mandated program. EEC can assist City personnel with collection and <br />testing of required discharges and help to ensure suitable methods and protocols are adhered <br />to. EEC can also support development of project specific discharge monitoring protocols as well <br />as implementation proper notification procedures. <br />The estimated level of effort for as -assigned potable water discharge permitting and support <br />services is projected at approximately 80-100 hours. <br />Production Well O&M Assessment and Support <br />EEC is an expert in per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) consulting and is currently <br />providing "Owners Representative" consulting support for the City as it addresses PFAS <br />contamination in a production well. EEC's PFAS team has extensive expertise in PFAS <br />chemistry, characterization, remediation, residual management, and its unique regulatory <br />challenges, particularly in California. <br />All of this expertise is being used to assist the City as it works with the Orange County Water <br />District (OCWD) and their consultants to develop a plan to design and install wellhead PFAS <br />treatment for the City's impacted wells. EEC already provided extensive technical and <br />regulatory assistance to the City as it responded to a Draft Producer Report from OCWD's <br />consultant, that addressed a variety of topics: <br />• The significance of PFAS Notification Levels (NLs) vs. Response Levels (RLs) <br />• Comparison of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) vs. Ion Exchange (IX) at each potential <br />impacted well site <br />• Evaluating capital costs vs. on -going O&M costs <br />• Evaluating OCWD's rapid small-scale column testing (RSSCT) and pilot testing results and <br />the need for further pilot tests <br />Proposal to Provide WDR Compliance Services - <br />City of Santa Ana, RFP 20-089 20 August 4, 2020 <br />
