From: Tracy A. LaPiene, P.E., C.F.M., City Engineer
Date: 12/17/20
Re: PSA Plummer Associates, Inc.
City of Sanger Stream Restoration for Wastewater Treatment Plant
Amendment 2
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).
On September 27, 2019 the City entered into a professional services agreement for engineering services
with Plummer Associates for Phase 1: Preliminary Planning for work associated with Stream Restoration
for the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
On May 8, 2020 the City approved Amendment No. 1 to that agreement to provide additional
Environmental Documentation including a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination. This documentation
was required to support the Section 404 permit application and made available to USACE during our
previous site visit.
The evaluation of the two approaches to resolve the water quality issues may be influenced by
stakeholders’, adjacent property owner’s, support. The stakeholder discussions are underway and have
yet to come to a final determination of support.
As the deadline to file an amendment to the City’s TPDES permit is in March 2021, staff recommends
pursuing Phase 2 of the professional services agreement with Plummer Associates, Inc. for the TPDES
Permitting and Related Enforcement Support, at this time, with TPDES permit amendment application to
include options for both the Stream Restoration approach and New Outfall approach.

AMENDMENT NO.2
TO
CITY OF SANGER
STANDARD AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
This Amendment modifies the Agreement dated (September 27, 2019) between the City of
Sanger (“Owner”) and Plummer Associates, Inc. (“Engineer” or “Plummer”) for a Project generally
described as Sanger Stream Restoration Design – Phase 2. This Amendment does not take effect
until signed by both parties.
The revisions the Agreement are limited to those specified below. All other provisions of the
contract remain in effect.
Exhibit A, Scope of Services, Basic Services – Phase 2 TPDES Permitting and Regulated
Enforcement Support
In September 2019, the City of Sanger (Owner) executed a contract with Plummer Associates,
Inc., (Engineer) to provide professional services associated with restoring the receiving stream
below the current discharge locations for the Owner’s wastewater treatment facility. Restoration
of the stream would eliminate Paddock Lake and enable the Owner to continue to use the current
discharge point. The alternative would be to construct a new outfall below the Paddock Lake dam.
The contract includes a Phase 2 for Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES)
Permitting and Related Enforcement Support.
The permitting approach is to submit an application for an amendment of the permit to allow the
continued use of Outfall 001 and to add an outfall (Outfall 002) at a point below Paddock Lake.
While it is unlikely that both of these outfalls will be needed, it is not possible at this time to know
which alternative will be selected. By permitting both outfalls, the Owner has more discharge
options available. In order to continue to use Outfall 001, an early meeting with the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is needed to discuss the strategy. The
presumption at this time is that the TCEQ will allow the permit to be amended with Outfall 001 still
available at the current flow of 0.98 million gallons per day (MGD). It is not assured that the TCEQ
will allow this, but the early meeting should provide valuable information on how to proceed. In
addition to the adding an outfall, the proposed permit amendment will request an increase in flow
up to 1.86 MGD.
The scope of services for the Phase 2 TPDES Permitting and Regulated Enforcement Support
follows. Included are Basic Services, which identify those services that are known to be necessary
at this time to complete the permit amendment. Additional Services, which include services that
could become necessary or desired during the project are also identified in this scope. Additional
Services will not be performed unless authorized by the Owner.
A schedule of milestones for the permit amendment is provided that provides approximate time
frames from completion of Basic Services. In addition, a budget for Basic Services is provided in
Exhibit B.

DECEMBER 2020 2
Basic Services
Obtaining a permit application is critical to the success of the project. A permit with practical limits
and flexible discharge options is necessary. In addition, Phase 2 requires close coordination with
TCEQ, Owner, and Engineer. The TPDES Permitting and Enforcement Support includes the
following tasks:
2.1 Strategy Development and Project Kick off
The Engineer will meet with the Owner by video conference to discuss the application and
permitting process for the project. The purpose of the meeting is to ensure that all aspects
of the overall project are executed in coordination.
The Engineer will meet with the TCEQ Water Quality Division to discuss the application
process for the project. The purpose of this meeting is to establish with TCEQ the direction
the project may take with respect to Outfall 001.
The results of the meeting with TCEQ will be discussed to determine if changes in the
permitting strategy are needed. The meeting will include coordination with other aspects
of the project, such as the stream restoration project and relevant ongoing enforcement
issues for the plant. The Engineer will prepare and submit meeting notes to the Owner
and team.
2.2 Review and Finalize Water Quality Modeling
The Engineer will finalize water quality modeling requirements for the permit amendment,
including coordination with TCEQ water quality modelers to finalize the agency’s
requirements for modeling Outfall 001 with an assumption that the Paddock Lake dam has
been removed and the stream restored.
The Engineer will prepare a draft technical memorandum on the modeling (modeling
memorandum) and submit it to the TCEQ for review. The Engineer will finalize the
modeling memorandum in coordination with the TCEQ.
2.3 Prepare Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Application
Through a Declaration of Administrative Completeness by TCEQ
Engineer will prepare an application to amend the TPDES permit for the wastewater
treatment facility. To the extent possible, previous information and data used will be
employed. The Engineer will coordinate with the Owner to obtain additional analytical data
on effluent quality.
A request for information will be prepared and submitted to the Owner. Engineer will
complete the application and provide a draft to the Owner for review. Once finalized, the
application will be submitted to the TCEQ for their review.
The TCEQ will first perform an administrative review of the application. If there are any
administrative deficiencies, the TCEQ will request changes and additional information.
Engineer will prepare any necessary changes to the application and submit the changes
to the TCEQ. Once all deficiencies are addressed, the TCEQ will declare the application
administratively complete and provide the language for the first public notice to the Owner
for publication in one or more local newspapers. Engineer will assist the Owner with the
publication process. However, publication fees are the responsibility of the Owner.

DECEMBER 2020 3
2. 4 Provide Regulatory Support During Permit Processing
During the technical review and draft permit process, Engineer will coordinate with the
TCEQ periodically to ensure their review is continuing as necessary. One additional
meeting with the TCEQ during this task is anticipated. There are also a number of email
or telephone contacts anticipated to discuss technical issues raised by the TCEQ.
The TCEQ will provide an initial draft of the TPDES permit to the Owner for review.
Engineer will perform a review of the draft permit, comparing it against requests made in
the application or subsequent to the application. The draft permit will also be compared to
the previous issued permit. Comments on the draft permit and requests to the TCEQ for
changes are anticipated. Engineer will prepare a draft response-to-draft letter for the
Owner’s review. Once the comment letter is finalized, the response letter will be submitted
to the TCEQ for their consideration.
For purposes of this scope of services, it is anticipated that the draft permit process will
include a total of three rounds of draft permits from the TCEQ from the initial draft to a final
draft prior to the final public notice. In each round, Engineer will review the draft permit
and assist with the appropriate response to the TCEQ, which could include responses by
letter, email, or telephone conferences.
Once the draft permit is finalized and accepted by the Owner, TCEQ will provide the
language for the final public notice for the permit. Engineer will assist the Owner with the
publication process. However, publication fees are the responsibility of the Owner.
Additional Services
Additional Services are those services that may be required or desired by the Owner but cannot
be defined sufficiently at this time to establish the Scope of Work and compensation. These
services are not included in the scope of work for Basic Services. Additional Services may include
the following
Any change in permitting strategy or permit application resulting from the TCEQ’s ruling
about the continued use of Outfall 001, resulting from a change in approach for stream
restoration, or enforcement actions of the TCEQ, that would significantly modify the
approach outlined in this scope of services.
Coordination with City’s attorney or staff or other consultants regarding ongoing
enforcement actions against the facility.
Additional meetings with TCEQ beyond those specified in Basic Services.
Additional water quality modeling beyond that already accomplished or planned under
Basic Services.
Modifications to the permit application resulting from additional requirements of the TCEQ,
once the agency has reviewed additional modeling.
Modifications to the permit application resulting from enforcement actions by the TCEQ.
Fees for application submission or costs for publication of notices.
Sampling, testing, or analysis beyond that included in Basic Services.
Additional meetings beyond that specified in Basic Services.

application due date, which is April 4, 2021. However, April 4, 2021 is a Sunday therefore the
application will be due on the next business day. Based on these requirements, the following
anticipated application schedule is provided:
