36¡f/ Attachment A to Contract for Engineering Services 3.2 Based on a review of applicable regulations and requirements, develop specific land application site criteria and define characteristics of preferred application sites. The site criteria to be defined will include allowable biosolids loadings; buffer zone requirements; existing and adjacent land uses; size and number of parcels; desired physical terrain features; and accessibility to Owner. Local soil types and agricultural practices will also be investigated, and those that would be compatible with and benefit from biosolids application will be identified and prioritized. Based on the identified criteria, the characteristics of preferred land application sites will be defined. 3.3 Identify areas around San Marcos within an economical haul of the wastewater treahnent plant that would be potentially suitable for land application of biosolids. These areas will be screened to determine which sites are best suited to receive sludge and which would be most accessible to Owner. Screening will consider the site criteria developed in Task 3.2. Based on the results of this task, a map will be prepared showing potential land application sites and their relative desirability. 3.4 Develop a framework for landowner biosolids disposal agreements. Provisions required by the Utilities Deparhnent to be incorporated into an agreement with landowners will be identified" such as permission for access; provisions to govern the application process; defiIÙtion of requirements for biosolids incorporation; protection against unwarranted claims for damages; and definition of other relevant provisions. The agreement framework will serve as the basis for developing a formal agreement by Owner's legal deparhnent. 3.5 In consultation with Owner, develop a plan for subscribing landowners to Owner's biosolids land application program. The plan 'will include a protocol for approaching landowners and obtain landowner subscrip- tions, and means of advertising the availability and benefits of the program. 3.6 Establish requirements for land application record keeping and site monitoring based on applicable regulations and the class of biosolids to be produced. Develop recommendations for ongoing public relations and landowner relations programs that would be beneficial to Owner in maintaining the viability of the biosolids application program. 3.7 Identify equipment requirements and program costs for land application of biosolids. Equipment requirements will be limited to that required off- site from the wastewater treahnent plant, such as sludge hauling trucks and spreaders. Program costs will include estimates for equipment, laboratory analyses of application sites, record keeping, and public relations. A2218RPT.ATT CDM Camp Dresser & McKee A-5
