Water Master Plan & Water Rate Study and On-Call Hydraulic Modeling Services (EPA Well Capacity Analysis Task)
Fullerton, CA I
Year Completed: 2025 I Cost of Services: $1.1M I Client Name: City Fullerton Current Client Reference: Gar Huang, Engineer l Phone: (714) 738-6895 l Email: [email protected] As part of the efforts to continually improve the water service to the community, the City hired Stantec to update its Water Master Plan (WMP) and Water Rate Study, including On-Call Hydraulic Modeling services. The WMP addresses the water supply, water demands, facilities planning, water quality and regulatory concerns in preparation of a prioritized capital improvement program (CIP).

The WMP’s prioritized CIP was conducted using a three-pronged approach that was based on capacity evaluations using a newly calibrated hydraulic model, visual condition assessment of vertical assets, and asset-risk assessment expanding on the Asset Management and Pipeline Rehabilitation and Replacement program. In addition to the WMP and development of the CIP, Stantec performed several tasks under the On-call Modeling services agreement, which included an evaluation of a proposed EPA well and treatment facility to be within Zone 1. Well capacity constraints and system improvements were analyzed and recommended.

Recycled Water Master Plan and Non-Potable Well Supply Siting Study Ontario, CA I
Year Completed: 2020 I Cost of Services: : $145K I Client Name: Orange County Water District (OCWD) Current Client Reference: Christy Stevens, Principal Engineer l Phone: (909) 395-2641 l Email: [email protected] As a follow up study to Stantec’s Recycled Water Master Plan prepared for the City, Stantec was retained to evaluate the feasibility and siting of a new non-potable water well supply source in-lieu of a proposed large booster pump station supplying purchased water from the Inland Empire Utilities Agency 1050 Zone. The siting study evaluated 13 potential well sites, including sites containing abandoned and destroyed wells. The analysis of each site was based City owned properties and criteria such as site constraints, site improvements, basin capacity, basin water quality data, impacts to the existing distribution system, and project costs. Alternatives were discussed in a workshop and ranked using a scoring matrix.

Valid City of Fullerton business license (if selected) Stantec maintains an existing business license with the City of Fullerton that we can present if selected. c. Comprehension of the City of Fullerton’s water system and operational needs The Stantec team is very familiar with Fullerton’s entire water system from our preparation of the Water Master Plan and hydraulic modeling services currently underway. For our Water Master Plan, we conducted site visits of the pump stations, wells, and reservoir facilities including meeting with operations staff to understand the operational needs of the system in addition to the capacity needs based on the hydraulic modeling. We also currently provide surveying support to the City. Our survey manager, Greg Sebourn, meets regularly with City staff and is extensively involved with the Infrastructure and Natural Resources Advisory Committee. This close partnership of knowledge and familiarity will enable us to provide valuable insight when developing the proposed water well siting and feasibility study. d. Ability to provide deliverables consistent with the latest City-adopted formats In addition to becoming familiar with the City through our recent survey and water master planning efforts, we prepared the 2019 Water Rate Study. Our subconsultant, TH&Co also has prepared design and construction documents from the recent Well 7 and 7A projects. All of these efforts provide us insight into the City-adopted formats for deliverables. Additionally, our team of professional consultants work with various public agencies that each require deliverables specific to their needs and formats so we are able to adapting to a variety of deliverable formats and can be flexible should the City require changes. e. Familiarity with City of Fullerton standards, provisions, and practices We have familiarity with the staff and intimate knowledge of the City’s standards, provisions, and practices through our work with the City. This includes our recent surveying work as well as the Water Master Plan, including the Water Rate Study project.

Additionally, our subconsultant, TH&Co has prepared design and construction documents from the recent Well 7 and 7A projects.

In 2021 through 2022, TH&Co successfully sited, designed, constructed, and tested the City’s Well 7A and did an analysis of the City’s existing well conditions at the Main Plant Site in Anaheim, California in support of the Main Plant Master Plan. In addition to evaluating the City’s existing wells, TH&Co also identified areas for potential well future well locations on the Main Plant site. f. Familiarity with OCWD including water quality and supply issues in the County In addition to our knowledge of the City's water system, we have experience and familiarity with nearby agencies, such as with Anaheim from our on-call services agreements including their Water Master Plan, as well as working with OCWD on their PFAS treatment facilities for Santa Ana.

Minimum Qualifications
Well Siting Feasibility Study
Los Angeles County Fire Camp 14, Saugus, CA
Stantec provided hydrogeologic support services for an exploratory drilling investigation at Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACFD) Camp 14 in Saugus. The work was performed to assist LACFD in identifying a potential replacement water well site located outside the 100-year flood zone of San Francisquito Creek. The work entailed drilling contractor coordination, lithologic logging and sampling of soils and rock encountered using the sonic drilling method, and preparation of final report with recommendations for the possible design and production capability of two new low-capacity water wells. We also prepared well construction specifications and bid documents for two small-capacity drinking water wells and a hydrogeologic report to support well permitting. Additionally, Stantec provided technical oversight of the drilling, design, construction, development, performance testing and water quality sampling and analysis of the two replacement wells. 6Stantec

UNDERSTANDING
It is our understanding that the City intends to identify potential well sites to drill and construct two new water supply wells to meet peak water demands. The City serves an area of approximately 22.3 square miles and has 8 active groundwater wells.

The existing water distribution system delivers potable water to its customers through two primary sources, including groundwater pumped from wells in the Orange County Groundwater Basin, and treated imported water from Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. The wells will enable the City to take advantage of less costly local groundwater supplies and reduce the need for purchasing imported water.

It is anticipated that at least two new potable water wells will be developed resulting from this study. Based on production from existing wells, each well will ideally be anticipated to have a production between 2,000 - 4,000 gallons per minute (gpm).

Existing wells primarily pump water into the lower pressure zones being in the southerly portions of the City. There are two wells in the southwestern area of the City that supply directly to Zone 1B. Five existing wells (with one additional well, Well 7A soon to be completed) are located to the south of the City within the City of Anaheim, within the City’s Main Plant which supplies Zone 1 service area directly. The Main Plant has also recently been undergoing construction for PFAS treatment. The other wells are situated in the southeastern portion of the City supplying directly to Zone 1A, and each of these Zone 1A wells (Kimberly 1A, Kimberly 2A, and Sunclipse) either have current PFAS treatment or will be undergoing a new PFAS treatment project. The recently completed Water Master Plan prepared by Stantec identifies additional well capacity recommended within Zone 1B that would benefit the supply and operational needs in the western area of the City.

This project includes determining site recommendations based on preliminary conceptual design and feasibility of constructing one replacement well and one new well. The goal will be to review and reduce a list of 15-20 potential candidate sites provided by the City down to a short list of 3-5 sites that will be ranked in priority order. Additional potential sites from the initial list of 15-20 provided by the City may also be identified during the study.

APPROACH
Our approach to this project assumes the evaluation of the sites depends on three main considerations: hydrogeological, hydraulic, and logistical.
• Hydrogeological considerations include geologic characterization, aquifer permeability, depth to groundwater, proximity to other nearby wells and groundwater quality. For groundwater quality, it is anticipated that volatile organic compounds (VOCs), perfluoro alkyl substances (PFAS), iron and manganese, and colored water will be the primary constituents of concern to avoid when identifying well sites. Potential well sites will also be evaluated to assess potential to impact future contaminant plume migration, though at a high level and with existing data. The wells’ potential effect on nearby wells, including remediation wells, will also need to be considered. • Hydraulic considerations include impacts to the existing distribution system and the locations within a pressure zone, such as Zone 1B, 1 and 1A. Zone 1B already has recommendations for needed well capacity from the Water Master Plan.

However, to add additional well capacity from what is currently available, pumping capacity from these lower zones to the upper zones may be required to operate the system most efficiently. Depending on the well capacity, conveyance pipelines and system operational constraints will be evaluated and any improvements for each potential site will be identified. • Logistical considerations include site layout considerations, lateral setback from sewer manholes, property boundaries, neighboring land uses, proximity from potential contaminating activities, allowable space for a water treatment plant (if needed in the future), proximity to existing pipeline and electrical infrastructure, hydraulic considerations (e.g. pressure zone), and ability to acquire the property or a property easement. Based on our experience, finding and acquiring sites with adequate space to drill and construct a well (e.g. a 100 x 100 ft area) can be very challenging but possible in a developed urban area, such as Fullerton.

Based on the above categories of considerations, we have assembled a team that are experts in their field to address each of the considerations. Our Hydrogeologist team of TH&Co has extensive knowledge of Fullerton’s service area and experience to address the hydrogeologic considerations. Our hydraulic modeling team led by Roxana Carrillo who created the model and analyzed the model for the City's Water Master Plan will assist in addressing hydraulic considerations. Logistical considerations will be addressed with the help from our team of experts for treatment, water quality, well site and civil design, electrical and power supply, survey and mapping, and regulatory aspects of the project required.

Project Understanding and Approach
7Stantec

KEY CHALLENGES AND CONSIDERATIONS
Finding Potential Site Candidates
Our approach assumes that developing the initial list of potential sites will be based on reviewing sites owned by the City and/or vacant areas may be considered as a higher priority. Contacting property owners will not be performed. Our evaluation will simply consider if the site is owned by the City or not. If it is not, our mapping department led by Greg Sebourn, can provide ownership information that may be useful in assigning a ranking score when prioritizing the sites. Our GIS database includes land use information that may also be helpful when comparing and considering sites owned by the City such as parks, and government facilities, and schools in addition to parcels identified as vacant land. For more about this, please see Figure 1. Potential City- Owned Parcels and Distribution System Constraints on the next page.

Size of Site Required for Well and Treatment
As noted above, based on our experience, finding and acquiring sites with adequate space to drill and construct a well (e.g. a 100 x 100 ft area) and particularly with added treatment facility space requirements can be very challenging but possible in a developed urban area, such as Fullerton. Our approach will consider the site spacing requirements with focus on preferred well locations that minimize the treatment facilities required. Additionally, if treatment facilities are required, considerations will be given to alternatives for combining treatment facilities for multiple wells or using an existing treatment or well facility that may provide needed space. We have also included on our team treatment experts to review and offer possible alternatives to meet site constraints.

Determining Short List of Site Candidates and Prioritizing Sites It is our understanding that the City will provide a list of 15 to 20 potentials sites for consideration. We may also identify additional sites based on available information. Through our initial data review and using our intimate knowledge of the City’s service area, we will be able to prepare our opinion of the sites and narrow all the potential locations down to a preliminary list of up to five sites, and then ultimately prioritizing the top five. Our approach for doing this includes collaborative workshops with the City. The first workshop will review and discuss all 15- 20 sites to determine to top five. A second workshop will be conducted after our detailed analysis of these top five sites are completed to discuss the scoring and ranking of each of the sites to determine priority. These workshops are intended to be a collaborative environment to discuss and brainstorm all aspects of the data, findings, alternatives, recommendations, and rankings of sites. We have assembled a team of experts as shown on our proposed Organizational Chart that will provide input prior to and participate at these workshops. Site visits will also be conducted for each of the top five potential sites.

Our team will evaluate the potential locations and rank up to five of the most feasible potential well sites. Evaluation categories will be assigned raw scores based on evaluation criteria that would make the site more or less favorable as a well site. The potential well sites will be ranked based on criteria identified, and agreed upon, with input from the City. The ranking of the sites is a function of the weighting factor and the assigned raw score for each evaluation category. The product of the weighting factor and raw score will result in a weighted score for each category. The sum of the weighted scores will result in a final score that is ranked relative to the other sites. The site with the highest weighted score will be ranked first, the next highest score will be ranked second and so on. An example of our ranking methodology is outlined in the table below. 8Stantec

SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1–Kick-Off Meeting
We will coordinate and facilitate a project kick-off meeting with the City staff to discuss the objectives of the project, scope, review of potential sites and criteria, lines of communication, data collection requests, and the project schedule. The meeting will be conducted by our project manager and attended by other key team members, including the TH&Co key members. Two days prior to the kickoff meeting, we will provide an agenda of the topics to be discussed. After the meeting, we will submit meeting notes for distribution, along with a PowerPoint presentation material, for all those in attendance. The budget for this task assumes the kickoff meeting will take place at the City’s office in Fullerton.

Task 2–Project Management
We will organize, schedule, and conduct progress meetings with City staff to report on the progress of the project, review existing data, preliminary site analyses and findings, and discuss questions we may have for the City. We assume four such progress meetings (with two meetings held in person, and others assumed virtual). Meeting agendas will be prepared and distributed a minimum of two days prior to the meetings. Meeting minutes, along with PowerPoint presentation material, will be provided within three days after the meeting. We will maintain frequent and clear communication (via email and phone calls) with the City to be sure expectations are met while meeting the project’s budget and schedule anticipated.

We will also prepare a PowerPoint presentation and attend a City Council meeting to discuss the results of the final well siting report to City Council. A draft of the PowerPoint presentation will be provided for City staff review with review comments incorporated before providing the final presentation in appropriate time required before the Council meeting.

In addition to the meetings and coordination required, our Project Manager will conduct the necessary management activities including maintaining an updated project schedule, organized by task and clearly defining milestones. Project status reports can also be provided to accompany monthly invoices to provide an accurate accounting of work performed, work progress, and budget status.

Our project deliverables will be reviewed for quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) by our management and technical advisory leaders, who will be led by our QA/QC leader, Jim Cathcart. We have made a significant investment in our overall quality management process to achieve your goals.

Task 3 – Considerations for Feasibility Study
We will evaluate the 15 to 20 potential sites to be provided by the City. Our team also may supplement the City’s list with up to 5 different locations for consideration based on readily available information and knowledge of the City’s water system and groundwater basin. The list of potential well sites will be narrowed down to a list of three to five sites and ranked to determine the most feasible list for potential well locations. Evaluation of the top three to five sites will include the following:
a. Proximity to residences/businesses – not only will noise and construction impacts be considered for each vicinity to residential and business neighborhoods, but also operational concerns, traffic, and potential visual aesthetic impacts and mitigation measures that may be required.
b. Site accessibility – sites will need to be accessible from the public right of way, and large enough for construction equipment and maintenance trucks, along with the potential for fire department access requirements if determined necessary. c. Ideal system hydraulic location – this will determine distribution system improvements, operational constraints, and provide the recommendations that minimize improvement impacts and most supply benefit to the distribution system. d. Ability to purchase or acquire adequate real estate for the proposed well site – our analysis will determine land uses including vacant land and score the site based on whether the site is owned by the City or not. e. Proximity of power supply and other infrastructure and needs- power facilities close within the vicinity will need to also have the power capacity required for the site
f. Potential of water quality treatment needs regarding VOCs, PFAS, iron, manganese, color and odor, and other known contaminants – this will determine treatment facility requirements, we will investigate minimal site impacts due to potential site constraints
g. Overall projected cost, including cost of the new well and other costs associated with site improvements, well equipping, distribution system improvements, and treatment facilities required – the City’s and our experience will be used to develop costs based on recent bid information for similar projects h. Effect on neighboring wells (potential for impact and potential groundwater interference on existing wells) i. Potential production capacity for the proposed new well(s) based on nearby wells j. Size and depth of proposed well and casing recommendations 10Stantec
Subtask 3.1: Preliminary Investigation and Data Review
Our team will obtain and review existing well records and reports from the City, OCWD, and any other relevant agencies in the area for use in evaluating potential well sites. Through our teams' thorough work with the City of Fullerton and other projects in northern Orange County, we already have many of these items on hand but we will want to confirm we have the latest and most updated information available. The reports and data will include:
• Well locations
• Borehole lithologic logs and geophysical logs
• Isolated aquifer zone testing data including depth-specific groundwater quality and yield
• Well recent construction and operation information
• Pumping test data
• Historical groundwater levels, including OCWD groundwater contour maps
• Geologic cross sections
• Orange County and City of Fullerton service boundaries • Groundwater quality data
• Data and reports related to the Orange County North
Basin Plume
• GIS shapefiles of the existing and planned water
distribution system
• Land use data from areal imagery (e.g. Google Earth)
• Parcel boundaries from the Orange County parcel shapefile • Drinking water well regulations and standards
In addition to the data sources cited above, other potential sources of data may include the United States Geological Survey (USGS), California Statewide Groundwater Elevation Monitoring (CASGEM), California Department of Water Resources (CDWR), and State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Geotracker. This scope of work and cost estimate assumes that all data utilized in the study will be existing and does not include the collection of new data through borehole drilling, collection of groundwater samples, etc.

Subtask 3.2: Preliminary Short List Workshop
Based on our desktop review of the data collection and initial review of the sites provided by the City, we will conduct a workshop to discuss the list of the 15-20 sites. This workshop will be used to discuss collaboratively our team’s findings and recommendations with the City staff, which may include additional sites. This is intended to be a brainstorming type of discussion where all thoughts, knowledge, and insights are brought to the meeting to reduce the number of potential sites and identify a short list of the top 5 locations. Our Project Manager will lead the discussion, with our team’s key staff present and will be held at the City’s offices. All relevant and key City staff, including operations, will be invited to attend.

Subtask 3.3: Analysis of Hydrogeological Considerations Stantec’s hydrogeologist and subconsultant, TH&Co will review existing borehole lithologic logs, groundwater level data, geologic cross sections and describe regional aquifer system in the area. We will also analyze data regarding permeability, storativity, and transmissivity and/or well yield from existing wells.

TH&Co will review OCWD groundwater contour maps to illustrate the direction of groundwater flow in the Study Area.

TH&Co will analyze potential groundwater quality issues or other potential point sources of groundwater contaminants, using available data. Water quality data and reports from the City, OCWD, and the Orange County North Basin Plume will be reviewed. PFAS data from production and monitoring wells will be analyzed spatially and over time. The most recent plume maps will be reviewed and compared against OCWD groundwater contour maps to assess potential plume migration. OCWD hydrogeological cross sections will be reviewed to assess aquifer depths including the depth of the Deep Aquifer which may have color and odor water quality concerns. Potential point sources (e.g. inactive and active/open groundwater cleanup sites) will be obtained from the SWRCB Geotracker website.

Subtask 3.4: Analysis of Hydraulic Considerations
Based on our experience with analyzing the City’s model, we will be able to provide initial recommendations and input for the larger group of 15-20 sites and the impact or benefit each may offer. For example, Zone 1B already is recommended for a new well in the Water Master Plan which will provide the most benefit hydraulically. For the analysis of the other top 5 sites to be evaluated, we will use the hydraulic model Stantec created, calibrated, and updated for the recent Water Master Plan. We will update the model to include a separate scenario run for each. Analyses will be simulated for 72-hour extended period simulations (EPS) for average day and maximum day demand conditions for the near-term (5-10 years) and future system (20 years and beyond) demand conditions. Results will include capacity evaluations of the conveyance pipelines and pump stations as well as operational constraints and recommendations for the pumping and storage facilities.

Subtask 3.5: Desktop Analysis of Logistical Considerations Our team will review online aerial imagery to identify parcels with enough space for drilling equipment, and possible future water treatment plants. Parcels located on City-owned will be prioritized. Our review will include existing and future land uses based on the City’s General Plan. Each of the top five sites, will be analyzed for site spacing for equipping and facility layout, property boundaries, access requirements, visual and aesthetic considerations, impacts to the vicinity, water system improvements, storm drain, and sewer manhole locations and potential improvements required, and consider other potential contaminating activities.

Subtask 3.6: Site Visits
We will conduct field visits to verify existing conditions of each of the sites on the preliminary short list (assumes of up to five sites). Our team will visit each of the five potential sites to verify land use, rig access, overhead/underground utilities, room to drill and construct the wells, options for discharge water, potential sources of water for drilling, neighboring land uses, and access for future well maintenance. We will document all aspects of the potential site visits with photos and field notes. The budget for this task assumes the site visits can be conducted in one day.

Subtask 3.7: Site Prioritization
We will discuss and review a preliminary list of criteria and weighting factors with the City prior to beginning the ranking analysis.

Based on our experience, we will analyze each of potential well sites with respect to the following list of preliminary categories:
• Impacts to operations of distribution system
• Distribution system improvements required
• Electrical load requirements and power capacity available • Capacity and proximity of sewer and storm drain facilities • Proximity to residences and businesses
• Ease of property acquisition and/or easement (private or public parcels and whether purchase may be required)
• Proximity to existing wells (remediation and production wells) • Proximity to existing distribution and electrical systems • Potential well yield
• Potential for groundwater quality issues
• Proximity to potential contaminating activities
• Adequate space to drill the well
• Drilling rig access
• Proximity to potential contaminant sources
Potential well yield will be evaluated through an analysis of existing well production data, pumping test data, and lithologic characteristics of sediments in the area. Potential pumping interference with nearby wells will be evaluated analytically based on pumping test data and distances–no groundwater modeling is included in this scope of work. Groundwater quality issues will be evaluated based on data collected from groundwater wells but will also include a review of potential point source contaminants, as documented on the SWRCB Geotracker website and the Environmental Protection Agency website.

It is noted that individual site access and drilling considerations will be assessed during the site visits. As-built drawings will be requested from the City and a utility search will be conducted for the vicinity of each site.

Each the five potential well sites evaluated for this study will be ranked according to the evaluation categories as previously described, although criteria will be reviewed and agreed upon with the City prior to beginning the analyses. Each evaluation category will be assigned a subjective weighting factor (e.g. 0.05 to 0.20) based on its relative importance to selecting a site.

The weighting factors will be assigned based on input from the City. Evaluation categories will be assigned raw scores based on evaluation criteria that would make the site more or less favorable as a well site.

The ranking of the sites is a function of the weighting factor and the assigned raw score for each evaluation category. The product of the weighting factor and raw score will result in a weighted score for each category. The sum of the weighted scores will result in a final score that is ranked relative to the other sites. The site with the highest weighted score will be ranked first, the next highest score will be ranked second and so on.

Subtask 3.7.1: Well Siting Ranking Workshop
This second workshop, the Well Siting Ranking Workshop will be conducted to discuss scoring criteria and ranking of the group of five potential sites. We will prepare a PowerPoint presentation that summarizes each of the five potential sites, the preliminary list of ranking categories, weighting factors, and scoring matrix. For each alternative site, we will ask for input from the City staff regarding additional concerns, site challenges, or even additional criteria or changes to the scoring. This workshop will be a working environment to flush out concerns and benefits each site may offer with its appropriate ranking. Following the workshop, we will provide an updated set of criteria and scoring matrix for the City’s review.

Subtask 3.8: Prepare Feasibility Study Report
Once the scoring matrix and site prioritization is complete and agreed upon, we will prepare a draft Well Siting and Feasibility Study report and submit for City review. We assume the City will require 30 days for review and provide comments. Based on the review comments received, we will incorporate the comments and revisions and submit a draft 95-percent complete report 12Stantec
for City review. We assume 14 days for this 95-percent review. A final Well Siting and Feasibility Study report will be prepared based on the comments and submitted to the City. As noted in Task 2, the City Council PowerPoint presentation will be prepared and submitted for review when the final 95-percent draft review comments to the report are received. City Council PowerPoint presentation material is assumed to be reviewed two times prior to issuing final presentation.

Task 4 – Coordination with the City
We will provide frequent, clear communication between the City's staff and Stantec throughout the pro ject. We will answer any questions from the City and keep all personnel involved updated with project progress to ensure that deadlines are met. The budget for this task is spread among the previous Tasks 1, 2, and 3.

Task 5 – Coordination with the OCWD
Potential sources of data needed throughout the project include coordination with other water districts, including OCWD to obtain existing well locations, water quality information, and pumping test information. Our hydrogeologist, TH&Co, will lead this coordination and prepare a data request for OCWD and utilize this information to avoid water quality issues (including potential plume migration and current PFAS characterization), minimize potential well interference, and will identify the advantages and disadvantages of each potential well site. We assume the coordination includes one meeting with OCWD and follow-up coordination in the form of phone calls and emails as necessary.

Task 6 – Coordination with Local Hydrogeologist
Stantec’s subconsultant, TH&Co will serve as the local, California licensed hydrogeologist, subcontracting to Stantec. TH&Co has extensive knowledge of the hydrogeology of the Orange County Groundwater Basin. The budget for this task assumes that the time to review hydrogeology data, including basin conditions and well data, is allocated for in Task 3. Additionally, Stantec’s resident hydrogeologist will provide technical advisory services and quality assurance and control between the Stantec and TH&Co team.

Task 7 – Regulations and Standards
Our team will evaluate the local, state and federal regulations for drilling and construction of a future municipal well within the City’s boundaries. Stantec's team and our subconsultant's team are very familiar with California Department of Water Resources (DWR) Well Standards Bulletins 74-81 and 74-90, which have specific requirements for water well drilling and construction, including sanitary seal installation depths for municipal wells, and minimum horizontal separation as well as the Orange County Health Care Agency’s and, as appropriate, the City of Anaheim Public Utilities’ well permitting requirements. The budget for this task is allocated into Task 3.

Well Siting Feasibility Study
Los Angeles County Fire Camp 19, Azusa, CA
Stantec provided hydrogeologic support services for
an exploratory drilling investigation at LACFD Camp 19
adjacent to the East Fork of the San Gabriel River north of Azusa. The work was performed to assist LACFD in
identifying a potential replacement water well site
located outside the 100-year flood zone of East Fork
San Gabriel River. The work entailed drilling contractor coordination, lithologic logging and sampling of soils
and rock encountered using the sonic drilling method
and preparation of final report with recommendations
for the possible design and production capability of a
new low-capacity water well. Prepared well construction specifications and bid documents for two small-capacity drinking water wells. Stantec provided technical
oversight of the drilling, design, construction,
development, performance testing and water
quality sampling and analysis of
the replacement well.

Bairs-Georges

Lynch Canyon Facility Direct Potable Reuse Study | Eagle Petroleum | San Ardo, California | Technical Advisor
David was technical advisor for the preliminary engineering evaluation of a potential water treatment strategy to treat oilfield produced water for potable uses in a water-scarce area. The study included the evaluation of the produced water quality, review of applicable California water recycling criteria, and the conceptual design of a WTP suitable to confirm a reliable, robust, and resilient system capable of ensuring public health protection. The conceptual design of the treatment process included ceramic ultrafiltration, ion exchange, reverse osmosis, UV/AOP, GAC and chlorine addition. It was noted that extensive piloting and verification would be needed prior to full-scale implementation.

Feasibility Study for In-Plant Reuse System at Gold Bar Wastewater Treatment Plant | EPCOR | Edmonton, AB | 2018-2019 | Process Lead David led an evaluation of the feasibility of using treated wastewater for a variety of in-plant utility water applications currently serviced by potable water at Gold Bar Wastewater Treatment Plant. The study selected three levels of treatment for the various end uses based on California Title 22 regulations, which were used as a regulatory surrogate. Several advanced wastewater treatment process configurations were developed and costed based on the treatment objectives and flows of different end uses. To meet the treatment objectives outlined in Title 22, submerged membrane filtration, disk filtration, and media filtration alternatives, followed by UV disinfection, were considered as candidate treatment technologies.

The costs associated with retrofitting the existing in-plant utility water piping made the reuse system less attractive than originally anticipated.

Tertiary Filtration Optimization Study | Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD), | Martinez, California | QA/QC
David provided senior QA/QC to the bench-and pilot-scale testing program for the evaluation of alternative coagulants and filter media to optimize the performance of tertiary media filtration at a 54 mgd activated sludge WWTP. The filter run durations needed to be increased and filter performance optimized to meet increasing recycled water demands. Ferric, alum, poly-aluminum and organic polymer coagulants were studied, and the use of zeta potential measurements was evaluated as a means of optimizing coagulant selection and doses.
