II. DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS OF SERVICES, INCLUDING COSTS: The City and Texas State have developed a plan that will fully implement Phase 1 of the system expansion to deliver reclaimed water to Texas State thermal plants ( "Project "). The Project includes the design and construction of approximately 12,400 linear feet of 16 -inch diameter pipeline to deliver reclaimed water to Texas State thermal plants. A visual depiction of the proposed pipeline project route is included in Exhibit C. The project design will also include a reclaimed water reservoir and pump stations modifications. The production, distribution, and use of reclaimed water will be consistent with the applicable state law, as it may be amended, regarding the provision and use of reclaimed water, including, but not limited to, Chapter 201, 30 Texas Administrative Code ( "30 TAC "). The quality of reclaimed water supplied by the project will meet the quality parameters for Type I reclaimed water under Chapter 201, 30 TAC. In accordance with state rules, reclaimed water users will be prohibited from allowing reclaimed water to pond or to runoff during use. Additionally, the irrigation systems installed to use the reclaimed water within 100 feet of the cut bank of the San Marcos River shall be designed and operated so as to prevent introduction of the reclaimed water into the San Marcos Springs and River ecosystem. Water main piping over San Marcos River crossings shall be cased for the full length of crossing plus a distance to allow replacement of any failed section without the introduction of reclaimed water into the San Marcos Springs and River ecosystem or alternately be directionally drilled and seamless HDPE pipe material used for crossing.
