TASK 1: COMPLIANCE AND COORDINATION MEETINGS
RBI will attend up to two routine meetings per month ( 24 meetings) to meet with City staff and its contractors/ consultants to coordinate efforts and obtain information associated with CTF operations and NPDES permit compliance. For the purposes of the scope and budget for this task, two hours are assumed each for two RBI staff members attending each meeting, which provides time for meeting preparation, participation, documenting meeting discussions, and post -meeting briefings of other parties not attending the meetings. All routine meetings will be virtual meetings ( i.e., MS Teams or Zoom).
RBI will also attend up to ten ( 10) additional meetings per year to address special project needs, should they arise. This could include meetings with regulatory agency staff with jurisdiction over the CTF, City management, and other parties. Four ( 4) meetings are assumed to be in person, while (6) six are assumed to be held virtually.
TASK 2: EFFLUENT AND RECEIVING WATER MONITORING
Ensuring compliance with the NPDES permit Monitoring and Reporting Program involves the subtasks below.
Subtask 2. 1: Scheduling and Coordination
RBI will assist updating the monitoring schedule spreadsheet used by RBI, the City, Veolia, and FGL. RBI will assist the City coordinate with these parties to ensure they are aware of upcoming sampling, identify issues with sampling dates, ensure bottles are on -hand, review chain of custodies, and other related issues.
Subtask 2.: Review and Compile Data
RBI will review monitoring results for routine CTF monitoring data tested at FGL to identify any quality assurance ( QA)/ quality control ( QC) issues and investigate anomalous results through discussions with the City' s
contract laboratory. RBI will copy FGL electronic data
deliverables into a master spreadsheet to facilitate our review of SMRs.
Subtask 2. 3: Additional Services & Tools
RBI will support the City as needed with City and Veolia monitoring efforts. Assistance may involve revising the QA/C manual for field meters and sampling activities, advising on questions about NPDES permit monitoring, maintaining and assisting with the setup of a Mr. Jonah Sonner

TASK 4: NPDES PERMIT - REQUIRED ANNUAL REPORTS
RBI will assist preparing or review the following annual reports required by the NPDES permit. Draft reports will be prepared for review and comment by the City. The City' s comments will be incorporated into a final report for the City to submit to CIWQS.
Best Management Practices Plan for Salinity Annual Report due February 1, 2027 Mercury Pollution Prevention Plan Annual Report due February 1, 2027 RBI will review and provide comments on the following draft reports prepared by the City.
DMR QA due in December 2026
Annual Operations Report due February 1, 2027
Industrial Pretreatment Program Annual Report due February 1, 2027 TASK 5: NPDES PERMIT RENEWAL SUPPORT
The CTF NPDES permit will be renewed by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board ( Central Valley Water Board) in early 2027, tiering from the Report of Waste Discharge ( ROWD) that RBI prepared for the City in 2026. The ROWD is the application package for renewing the NPDES permit and included technical documentation to support requests for data usage, dilution credits, and effluent limitations that will facilitate CTF compliance. The ROWD requested an increase in the permitted average dry weather flow discharge rate from 2. 5 MGD to 4. 0 MGD. RBI' s
support with NPDES permit renewal is
defined by the following subtasks.
Subtask 5. 1: Comments on Administrative Draft NPDES Permit RBI will perform a
thorough, detailed review of the administrative draft NPDES permit issued by the Central Valley Water Board, and will lead and coordinate efforts to prepare written comments, which will be submitted within the timeframe allotted. These comments serves as the basis for negotiations with Board staff prior to release of the tentative NPDES permit for public comment.
Deliverable: Comments package for the administrative draft NPDES permit Subtask 5. 2: Comments on Tentative NPDES Permit
RBI will perform a
thorough, detailed review of the tentative NPDES permit issued by the Central Valley Water Board staff and will lead and coordinate efforts to prepare written comments, which will be submitted to the Board within the 30 -day review period. The written comments submitted by the City on the tentative NPDES permit are important because: a) Board staff are obligated to prepare written responses to the comments and to brief Board members regarding how they responded to discharger comments prior to the Board' s adoption
of the tentative NPDES permit; and b) the comments are the cornerstone of the administrative record, should the City need to appeal or litigate the NPDES permit. The comments prepared for the tentative NPDES permit will tier from those prepared for the administrative draft Mr. Jonah Sonner

NPDES permit. RBI will also review the response -to -comments and proposed late changes to the tentative NPDES permit, once they are posted by the Board following the 30 -day public comment period.
Deliverable: Comments package for the tentative NPDES permit Subtask 5. 3: Meetings and Adoption Hearing
RBI will lead two (2) meetings with Central Valley Water Board staff: one ( 1) to discuss administrative draft NPDES permit comments; and one ( 1) to discuss tentative NPDES permit comments. Budget for this task assumes meetings will occur online ( e.g., Teams), and includes preparation and attendance. RBI' sPrincipal - in -Charge will attend the NPDES permit adoption hearing in -person. Given the scope of requests put forward in the ROWD, and the high level of effluent quality and surface water protection afforded by the CTF, it is assumed that the NPDES permit will be adopted by the Board uncontested.
Meetings with City staff to support NPDES permit renewal are covered in Task 1.
TASK 6: TOXICITY COMPLIANCE SUPPORT
RBI will assist the City with scheduling, coordination, and reviewing results of routine, quarterly whole effluent toxicity ( WET) testing required by the NPDES permit. RBI will advise the City on whether permit -required accelerated testing or a Toxicity Reduction Evaluation ( TRE) has been triggered. In the event a TRE is triggered by the routine bioassay results, the City must submit a TRE Action Plan to the Central Valley Water Board within 30 days. Budget is provided for RBI to prepare one ( 1) TRE Action Plan for the City to provide a timely submittal, should a TRE be triggered. RBI will provide a separate scope and budget to provide assistance beyond the hours budgeted herein in the event that additional effort is required to assist implementing routine testing, accelerated testing, or a TRE. We assume that the City will contract laboratory testing services separate from RBI' s contract and that Veolia operations staff will collect the effluent samples used for bioassay testing.
TASK 7: REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS TRACKING AND REPORTING
The CTF is currently subject to several Central Valley Water Board initiatives, including CV - SALTS, the Delta Regional Monitoring Program, the Delta Mercury Control Program and Total Maximum Daily Load, and others. There may be other regulatory initiatives that the CTF would be affected by during FY26/ 27, including the State Water Resources Control Board' sClean Water Act section 303( d) listing process. As approved by the City, RBI will attend meetings for these initiatives, advocate for the City' sinterest, and advise the City on these initiatives and their impacts on the CTF. RBI will cost share these efforts with other RBI clients when feasible. RBI' s effort on these activities is limited by the task budget.
TASK 8: GENERAL COMPLIANCE AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT
As requested, RBI will provide general compliance and operational support to the City, including, but not limited to, the following items.

TASK 9: RECYCLED WATER ASSISTANCE
RBI is assisting the City with various recycled water -related items. This task includes budgeted support for RBI to continue assisting the City with these efforts.
Subtask 9. 1: Drinking Water Supplemental Supply
The City is exploring additional water sources to supplement its potable water system. RBI has facilitated meetings with the Central Valley Water Board and City management to evaluate options to utilize CTF recycled water to supplement this system, such as through an indirect potable reuse Aquifer Storage and Recovery ( ASR) project, as well as the discharge of recycled water into the San Joaquin River, followed by downstream re -diversion of river water containing the discharged effluent. RBI will assist with planning, developing, and implementing a
roadmap for indirect potable reuse.
Subtask 9. 2: West Chlorine Contact Basin
RBI has assisted the City negotiate the Division of Drinking Water' s (DDW) review and acceptance of a tracer study workplan for the modified west chlorine contact basin ( CCB).
This workplan, which was prepared by PACE, also indicates that a new tracer study of the east CCB will be conducted. RBI will support PACE' s
implementation of the tracer study and
