This scope of work in this proposal is based on information from the current progress of the City's program development, discussions with you regarding desired program development, as well as, EEC's expertise in the development and implementation of industrial pretreatment programs. This proposal covers the existing scope of work that EEC is currently assisting the City with, and the new scope identified during the Pretreatment Program development process. The EEC team is thoroughly familiar with the project scope of work. The proposal herein is designed to address all items in the scope of work including program development, inspections, monitoring, permitting, reporting, coordinating and administrative functions required to support the City. PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK Task 1 Significant Industrial User and Non-FSE Industrial User Inspections For the one (1) Industrial User (IU), the methodology that will be followed in performing the inspection is similar to the methodology followed by the U.S. EPA as generally outlined in the U.S. EPA's Control Authority Pretreatment Audit Checklist and Instructions document dated February 2010. Inspections will include a visit of the facility, interviews with IU representatives and a review of records. The frequency of the inspections will be in accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 403. As part of the inspections, EEC will review the established procedures and implemented Best Management Practices (BMP), including internal inspection logs and reports. Based on the results of the inspections or as requested by the City, EEC will investigate and respond to infractions and complaints. In the event that inappropriate actions are observed, or evidence of past or present unauthorized discharges is found, EEC will notify the City and will assist in determining whether or not an enforcement order is required. In some situations, all that might be required is for EEC to coordinate with the City and the facility to conduct a follow-up inspection to ensure that the facility is in compliance. After conducting inspections, EEC will prepare a draft inspection report for the City's signature and issuance to the industrial user. EivWiROivMEiv..r..AL I ENGiivrr:::::iaoivG I COevii::aLsANCE I SAi, Y I..NEC[ iiv LG Agreement No. 7026 Ms. Cheryl Ebert June 21, 2024 EEC will also inspect all limited industrial users (LIU). EEC will follow similar inspections procedures as the ones followed for the permitted IU, but will focus more on BMP implementation and employee training aimed at preventing harmful discharges. If required, EEC will make recommendations to the City regarding facilities requiring permits or simply additional monitoring including sampling. Task 2 Permitted Industrial User Sampling For all permitted IUs, EEC will coordinate annual sampling events in order to monitor the discharge from each IU. Samples results will be compared with permit limits. Any exceedances will be promptly reported to the City with recommendations for appropriate follow-up actions. EEC will pay all invoices produced by Anachem Laboratories and will monitor all sample results submitted. If required, periodic surveillance monitoring will be conducted as -needed in the sewer system to identify sources of suspected unauthorized dumping of high strength or pollutant loading that violates the City's existing wastewater discharge limitation. If a facility is suspected of illicitly discharging into the sewer system, the matter would be discussed with the City and EEC would recommend the best strategy for future surveillance monitoring. Task 3 Annual Permit Preparation For each IU requiring permitting, EEC will draft wastewater discharge permits for review by the City. EEC will address comments and edits and will prepare final permits for signature and issuance by the City. Activities associated with permitting include the collection of general information on the permittee and verification of the manufacturing and other activities conducted at the facility (typically conducted during facility inspections). EEC will develop a Permit Basis Document (PBD) for each new IU and existing PBDs will be reviewed and revised, if necessary. The PBD is considered the foundation for every wastewater discharge permit and EEC will provide the level of expertise needed for the adequate identification of all applicable Federal categorical industrial classifications and of their respective applicable requirements. Permitting activities for dry cleaners, automotive cleaning facilities, maintenance facilities, and other commercial and light industrial facility will follow the same level of scrutiny and verification. Task 4 Reporting EEC will assist the City in meeting its regulatory reporting including spill reporting, annual reporting, annual inventory updating, and the Pretreatment Compliance Schedule (PCS) Summary report. EEC will ensure that all reports are prepared promptly to allow sufficient time for review by the City, addressing comments by EEC and timely submittal by the City. EEC is aware of the reporting schedule including the February yearly due date to Los Angeles County, for the annual report, respectively. EEC will also assist in the publishing of the list of SIUs in significant non-compliance. All required reports will be provided to the City for review and final signatures and issuance once City's comments are received and addressed by EEC. Proposal for Continued Pretreatment Program Development 2 EEC Agreement No. 7026 Ms. Chervl Ebert June 21, 2024 Task 5 Pretreatment Program Audit Preparation PG Environmental, on behalf of the EPA, conducts annual audits of the City of Los Angeles Pretreatment Program. These audits typically include an in-depth look at two to three member agencies that are contracted with City of Los Angeles. Based on the previous audit conducted by PG Environmental, it is EEC's understanding that in 2025 the City of El Segundo could be subjected to the in-depth audit. To prepare for this audit, EEC staff reviews the previous in-depth audits conducted by PG Environmental, the current Pretreatment Program documents to ensure that all program requirements are met, and will coordinate a site inspection of an industrial user if requested by PG Environmental. Task 6 Industrial Waste Survey/Industrial Inventory The existing industrial user listing developed by the City will be maintained and updated by EEC as new IUs are identified and/or as new survey activities are conducted. EEC will utilize the tools available to conduct surveys in order to identify new facilities. Examples of tools include business license applications, changes in sewer service, new tenant improvements and field observations made during inspections. EEC will submit, on behalf of the City, an updated list of its permitted IUs, which is derived from the Master Industrial User Tracking List and shows deletions and additions keyed to a previously submitted list. In addition to the typical business evaluated, EEC will also evaluate the local dental facilities to determine if they should be permitted under the newly adopted EPA Dental Rules. Task 7 Enforcement and Public Participation EEC will review IU self -monitoring reports and will assist the City with all enforcement actions including verbal and/or written warnings and civil and/or criminal enforcement actions. In addition, EEC will assist the City in the tracking progress toward compliance once enforcement has been initiated. EEC will document, in the City database, all communication and will track all actions, including all verbal or written extensions granted to the IUs, in accordance with the Enforcement Response Plan (ERP). Task 8 Sewer Use Ordinance Updates Based on the recent update to the City of Los Angeles Sewer Use Ordinance, EEC will update the City of El Segundo ordinance to align with the requirements of the City of Los Angeles. EEC will also incorporate the necessary changes to comply with the recommendations provided by PG Environmental during the recent Pretreatment Program Audit. Task 9 Enforcement Response Plan Development EEC will review and update the current Enforcement Response Plan (ERP) (if available). If an ERP is not available for review, EEC will develop a new ERP. The ERP will be based on the existing procedures for evaluating and acting upon IU non-compliance that are dictated by the EPA Model Ordinance. EEC will provide a complete re -write of the ERP including staff responsibilities and notification procedures. Proposal for Continued Pretreatment Program Development 3 EEC Agreement No. 7026 Ms. Cheryl Ebert ESTIMATED COST Assumptions June 21, 2024 1. Projected cost estimates are for one fiscal year. 2. In addition to the SIU, up to 25 Ws will be inspected. 3. Follow-up inspections of IUs are not included in the scope of this proposal. 4. Cost for sample collection and analyses, by an outside laboratory, is included in the cost estimate and will be billed with regular invoices. Cost Based on the project man-hours, EEC will provide the services described above on a time -and -materials basis with a not to exceed cost of $50,000. This work will be conducted pursuant to EEC's most current Fee Schedule and Standard Terms & Conditions (attached). Monthly progress invoices will be submitted for payment which will be due and payable in net 30 days. This proposed cost is valid for thirty (30) days after the proposal date. If additional work is requested or due to extenuating circumstance required outside of the aforementioned scope of work EEC will notify the City for approval prior to proceeding. Thank you for the opportunity to provide industrial pretreatment services to the City of El Segundo. EEC can begin work upon receipt of authorization to proceed.
