EI Segundo, California 90245
Subject, Proposal for Continued Pretreatment Program Development and Program Management
for the City of EI Segundo
Dear Mr. Xw
Pursuant to your request, EEC Environmental (EEC) is pleased to present this proposal for the continued
development and management of the Industrial Pretreatment Program for the City of EI Segundo (City).
This scope of work in this proposal is based on information from the current progress of the City's
program development, the recent Pretreatment Program Audit conducted by Tetra Tech, 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.
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.
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 and
semiannual 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.

Task 5 Pretreatment Program Audit Preparation
Tetra Tech, on behalf of the EPA, conducts annual audit 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 Tetra Tech, it is EEC's understanding that
in 2018 the City of EI Segundo will be subjected to the in-depth audit.To prepare for this audit, EEC staff
reviews the previous in-depth audits conducted by Tetra Tech, 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 Tetra Tech.
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
EI 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 Tetra Tech 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.
Estimated completion date for the ERP will be July 1"of 2018.

EEC will develop Standard Operating Procedures (SOPS) documenting activities pertaining the
development and implementation of the City's Pretreatment Program. Examples of SOPs include
performing Industrial Waste Surveys, conducting inspections, or implementing/changing program
requirements. EEC estimates that 2 tot al SOPs will be required to be developed during this contract
period.
ESTIMATED COST
Assumptions
1. In addition to the SIU, up to 25 IUs will be inspected.
2. Follow-up inspections of IUs are not included in the scope of this proposal.
3. EEC will develop a total of 2 SOPS.
4. Cost for sample collection and analyses, by an outside laboratory, is not included in the cost
estimate and would be billed separately.
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$24,950. 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.
