Memorandum
To: City Council
From: Tracy A. LaPiene, P.E., C.F.M., City Engineer
Date: 09/12/19
Re: PSA Plummer Associates, Inc.
City of Sanger Stream Restoration for Wastewater Treatment Plant
The City of Sanger (City) has been prevented from moving forward with the amendment of their Texas
Pollutant Discharge Elimination (TPDES) permit for the wastewater treatment plant for several years. The
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) cannot issue a new permit via the current outfall
because water quality modeling has demonstrated that there is no effective effluent set that will maintain
water quality standards in the receiving stream. Two approaches have been proposed to resolve this
issue:
Restore the receiving stream to conditions that eliminate Paddock Lake, which is the reason the
water quality model will not work (Stream Restoration Approach)
Move the discharge location to below Paddock Lake via a new discharge pipeline (New Outfall
Approach).
The Stream Restoration Approach was first considered, but eventually abandoned due to the many
potential 404 permitting issues and general uncertainty about cost, timing, and acceptability of the
approach to stakeholders. The City began moving toward implementing the New Outfall Approach.
However, obtaining necessary rights‐of‐way for the pipeline has proven difficult. In addition, there has
been a realization by landowners immediately downstream of the current outfall that the stream flow will
be significantly diminished by the relocation of the outfall to below Paddock Lake. As a result, the City is
reconsidering the Stream Restoration Approach; without abandoning entirely the New Outfall Approach.
As Plummer Associates, Inc. (f.k.a. Alan Plummer Associates, Inc.) has performed the design for the Sanger
Wastewater Treatment Plant Rehabilitation and Improvements project, the Outfall Pipeline project, has
performed permitting and regulatory support with regard to these projects, and has extensive staff
experience and resources, it is the opinion of City Engineer that Plummer Associates, Inc. is the best
qualified consultant to use for this project.
The City of Sanger has requested Plummer Associates, Inc. to provide professional services associated
with restoring the receiving stream below the City’s wastewater treatment facility to conditions that
eliminate Paddock Lake. This generally includes lowering all or portions of the Paddock Lake dam
sufficiently to eliminate impoundment of water upstream of the dam; restoring stream channels to
connect existing channels above the lake to an existing reach of Ranger Creek below the dam; and planting
riparian vegetation along the restored stream channels. Engineer has identified a number of regulatory,
technical and external considerations to be addressed for completion of the project.

Due to uncertainties associated with some of these issues, the City has elected to implement the project
under a phased approach. As proposed, the project will include the following five phases:
Phase 1: Preliminary Planning
Phase 2: TPDES Permitting and Related Enforcement Support
Phase 3: Section 404/401 Permitting
Phase 4: Stream Restoration Design
Phase 5: Stream Restoration Project Implementation
Plummer Associates, Inc. has developed a scope of work for Phase 1, which is described in the attached.
This project shall be funded through the Enterprise Fund.
