Estimated Cost: Nominal for Compact Staff.
Dl. Fill Gaps in Existing Routine Monitoring Programs.
This will be primarily a function of the Compact Staff, upon consulta-
tion with the Technical Committee, and approval by the Compact Cummittee,
If and when some particular analytical procedure is identified as neces-
sary but is beyond the existing capabilities of the Compact Stnff, then
the Staff, if authorized by the Compact Committee, may make appropriate
arrangements with other parties to perform analytical services. Generally,
any such arrangements are anticipated only for the most advanced techniques.
Such techniques and procedures might include those for the analysis of
contaminants which are of concern with respect to public health but are
present, if at all, in only extremely small concentrations. Preliminary
meetings of the Technical Committee have reviewed the existing monitor-
ing programs and identified the following areas needing additional work:
A. Lower East Fork - Forney Dam to Confluence with Trinity River.
This reach is presently ranked by the THQB as the reach which is
most in need of pollution abatement activities in the entire state.
It is most affected at base flow by the discharges from the Garland
Duck Creek and Mesquite Sewage Treatment Plants and will be affected
by the future implementation of the North Texas Municipal Water
District's regional operations. Indirectly, it will share with
dischargers in the rest of the Dallas-Fort Worth area any effluent
limitations which are based upon the quality of water in the Trinity
River below its confluence with the East Fork.
The completion of improvements under construction at the Duck Creek
plant will cause a significant improvement in the lower East Fork
water quality, The North Texas Municipal Water District is current-
ly negotiating with the City of Mesquite to acquire and develop the
present Mesquite STP site as a regionalized 8TP for the lower East
._ Furk. The current THO8 waste ,load allocation has the Mesquite (and
Duck Creek) STP's scheduled for treatment to a 8OD5 = S level as
soon as pussible. However, that waste load allocation procedure
is in need of technical refinement, both for present conditions,
and following the completion of the Duck Creek plant impruvements.
This reach is now monitored regularly at only one site, and occasion-
ally at another. The record compiled is inadequate for use in devel-
oping sound pollution abatement actions.
The Compact would measure basic parametersl at three (3) locations
bi-weekly in its routine program. In addition, comprehensive
surveys would be conducted under selected conditions.

The water quality in this reach is a crucial determinate of ef-
fluent limitations which may be set by the TNOR and EPA on all
Dallas-Fort Worth area discharges, including the lower East Fork.
The reach is presently monitored at several locations by the TWq8
and the U5GS. However, the frequency of these programs is not
sufficient at present to analyze several phenomena (including
contaminated sludge buildup and transport, nutrient losses, bac-
terial regrowth and dieuff` urban runoff, etc.) which in turn bear
heavily upon possible future effluent limitations for oxygen demands,
nutrients, and other parameters. The Compact would measure very
similar, if not identical parametersl as above, at six (§) locations2
bi-weekly, in order to fill gaps in the record produced by the TWQ8
and U3GS,

Stand;Tr�djzed �Reports of Water Quality in the Area.
This will be primarily a function of the Compact Staff, with data being
obtained from each of the Compact members, the TWV8° and the U5GS on
the most prompt schedule following each sampling. The reports generated
are intended to provide prompt condensed renderings of the most recent
data on key parameters at key stations in the area, in a standardized
form which will quickly show existing conditions and trends. The exact

frequency and scope of the reports will depend on the frequency and
scope or the overall monitoring in the area. The current monitoring
will provide data for quarterly reports at certain stations and a more
thorough annual report at the end of the year. As overall monitoring
improves through better coordination, filling gaps, and/or automated
monitoring, the frequency and scope of reports can be increased. These
reports will be made immediately available to the Compact members and
may be used or distributed otherwise as the Compact Committee may
direct. The first report will cover the first quarter of 1975 and be
issued by April 30, 1975. If authorized by the Compact Committee,
arrangements will be made for data accumulations with Compact members
through the Technical Committee, and with other agencies directly by
the Compact Staff.
Estimated Cost: $5.000.00
Y. Development f Comprehensive, Automated Data Storage, Retrieval , and
Preliminary Analysis.
This will be a function of the Compact Staff. During the year, the
complete records accumulated under Item IV will be applied to computer-
ized data handling systems in order to provide data services for all
parameters and locations in the area, plus certain analyses, on call.
If authorized it is expected that this system could be functional by
the end of 1975.
Estimated Cost: $20,000'00
VI. Information on State and Federal Regulations and Activities, Especially
Regarding Monitoring, Basin Plannlng, Waste Load Allocations, Stream
Siegmen ation, Segment Classification, Sections 301 , 302, 303, 314 of

This is partly related to the coordination and communication activities
in Item l, except that some of these topics have direct policy implica-
tions to the Compact members' Such information will be communicated
either within the routine reports developed under Item IV or by separate
~- memoranda.

`
l. . '
This will be the primary function of the Technical Committee, supported,
as described under Organization, the Compact Staff. Existing moni-
toring in the area will be reviewed and any recommended actions will be
presented to the Compact Committee for final approval . This function
has already begun in preliminary meetings of the Technical Committee,
but it is a complex task which will require continuous, regular attention
to coordinate existing programs and then to keep the programs abreast of
future changes in water quality, in procedures and technology, in state
and Federal regulations, and in the operations and policies of the Compact
members. Such matters as place, time, and frequency of sampling; para-
meters analyzed; field and laboratory procedures; and recording procedures
will be considered. This function is intended to a) minimize waste due
to overlapping programs, b) maximize and document the technical reliabil-
ity of the programs, c) increase the usefullness of the programs to o| |
members of the Compact through uniformity of procedures, and d) help keep
the Compact members informed of'the latest developments in technique and
to implement improvements in a timely manner.
Full recognition and udliratimnwill be made of all existing programs
of the Compact members. It is recognized that the Compact members have
various particular purposes and capabilities within their programs, and
those differences in prerogatives will be respected.
It is proposed that the Technical Committee, or an appropriate sub-
committee thereof, will meet at least six (G) times per year, or more
often as needed. The Compact Staff will provide administrative and
organizational support to the Technical Committee in this function as
described in Organization.
Estimated Cost/ Nominal for Compact Staff, except for roughly equal
personnel time of members' representatives.
D. Coordination of Monitoring by Other Aqencies With That of the Compact.
This will be primarily a function of the Compact Staff, in consultation
with the Technical Committee. The agencies involved (altogether in-
cluding many agencies, but particularly the Texas Water Quality Board,
the U. S. Geological Survey, and the Texas Water Development Board)
are not members of the Compact, but this function is otherwise similar
to Item l. This function will include a) an annual comprehensive re-
view and updated report of the monitoring programs of the TNQ8, USGl,
TWD0, and other agencies, in areas of interest to the Compact, and b)

The major responsibility for treating sewage to be discharged into the Trinity
River in the North Central Texas area will be borne by four principal sewage
treatment facility operating agencies:
1. City of Fort Worth
2. City of Dallas
3. North Texas Municipal Water District
4. Trinity River Authority of Texas
The quality of effluent required from each treatment facility will be determined
in part by water quality measurements made on the Trinity River and the project-
ed effects of sewage treatment plant discharges on water quality in that stream.
Therefore, accurate, comprehensive and well documented stream monitoring data
is a must to insure that any limitations placed on the quality of sewage treat-
ment plant discharges are realistic.
Centralized, uniform methods and procedures for sampling, tabulating sample
results, and systematic storing of sampling data, as well as provisions for
making accumulative data available-to -respective parties, are considered to be
in the best interests of all agencies. It is believed that this may best be
accomplished by a proposed COMPACT of the four operating agencies. It provides
for participation and unanimous consent of the four operators for any actions
relating to use of data accumulated. The proposed work program is more specifi-
cally described in the attached Attachment A.
Due to its extensive experience in monitoring the quality and quantity of River
flow, and its close relationships with other agencies involved in that effort
in the Trinity River Basin, i.e. , The Texas Water Quality Board, the U. S.
Geological Survey, the Texas Water Development Board, and others, the Trinity
River Authority will provide staffing for the COMPACT efforts and will coordinate
the efforts of COMPACT members' personnel as necessary to accomplish complete
COMPACT purposes.
The total cost of one year of COMPACT operations is estimated to be $43,400 to
be shared among the COMPACT members as follows:
City of Fort Worth $ 12,000
City of Dallas 12,000
North Texas Municipal Utility
District 7,000
Trinity River Authority 12,000
Total $ 43,000

The life of the COMPACT agreement is to be one year, with provisions to continue
its operations if all members agree that such continuation would be beneficial.
Fort Worth's share of the firs year's costs will be provided from budgeted
operational funds. Attempts will be made to effect operational savings in other
areas to cover this unbudgeted expenditure.
The COMPACT agreement has been approved by the other three operating agencies.
Recommendations
It is recommended that:
1. The City Manager be authorized to execute an agreement providing
for the City of Fort Worth to join with the City of Dallas, the
North Texas Municipal Water District and Authority
of + ay in the formation and operation of the UPPER TRINITY BASIN
WATER QUALITY COMPACT: and
2. The Water Department Director be authorized to pay the City's share
of COMPACT cost, estimated at approximately $12,000, as billed.

In July, 1967 the Growth: Fort Worth Committee presented its report to the City
Council on developer policies and the economic development of the City of Fort
Worth. This report contained two major recommendations.
1) The creation of a position of development coordinator in the City Manager's
Office
2) A change in City developer policies to provide that the developer furnish
design engineering rather than such work being done by City departments,.
The first of these recommendations has been implemented and this Mayor and Council
Communication provides for the implementation of the second recommendation.
Performance of Engineering Services for New Subdivisions
Current City Policy
The current policy for distribution of engineering costs for community facilities
follows:
Fac lltY Engineering Fee Paid by Developer
Water 10% - reduced to 6% if design furnished by developer's
engineer.
Sewer 101, - reduced to 6% if design furnished by developer's
engineer.
Storm Drain 1010 - reduced to 5% if design furnished by developer's
engineer.
Streets 0%
Street Lights 10% - reduced to 6% if design furnished by developer's
engineer.
Currently the engineering in most large developments is performed by private
engineers employed by the developer, even in the case of street engineering which
is furnished free upon request.
Cep arison with Other Texas Cities
A recent comparison of practices in 26 Texas cities including all Texas cities
over 100,000 population and 13 others in the Fort Worth area shows that
Worth is one of only our cities that
y provide free street engi ,�e
to developers. The chart attached to this communication (Arta 4* s''A'�pro-

AdXantages f, Disadyantages- of the City Providing, Ep i:neerin Services
The major advantage of the present practice to the developer is that the City
pays for the cost of street engineering.. The control of design which the City
has as a result of preparing the plans and specifications can be obtained
equally well by the review of plans prepared by a consulting engineer.
A major disadvantage to a developer if he elects to request the City to do his
engineering is that he must take his turn in order of applications received by
the City. This may result in some delay to the developer and in large develop-
ments where the developer may have a considerable amount of capital tied up in
a project, any delay is costly.
The processing of engineering work for a large new subdivision is necessarily
quite time consuming, and the developer is often impatient to proceed.. When the
City is requested to do the engineerin.g, work, for the developer, it is sometimes
severely criticized for the 'length of time required to perform the engineering.
if all engineering work were done by private engineers selected by the developer
the City's relationship with developers would be substantially improved, and a
primary reason for developers' complaints of delays would be removed.
A. private consultant retained to do subdivision engineering often has time and
experience to incorporate cost saving innovations in his plans, which then can
be presented to the City staff for engineering review and approval.
A further advantage in having a consultant prepare the engineering plans for a
developer is that a. more fully coordinated and integrated plan of all improve-
ments, -°- streets, storm sewers, street lights,, water and sanitary sewers as well
as the private utilities of ,gas, electri,cand telephone would be possible.
Alternative A roaches to EnitineerLM for New DeveloLxnents
Various alternatives for the engineering of streets and other public facilities
in new subdivisions have been considered,, including the following:
1) The City to pay the full cost of the design, construction staking, and
inspection (present policy of the City of fort Worth for street construction),
, ) The developer pays the full cost of design, construction staking, and
inspection (present policy of most other Texas cities).
) A combination of the above, with the developer paying the full cost of
design and the City paying the cost of construction stakingand inspec-
tion (this provides for an approximately even division of cost between
the developer and the City).
It is proposed that, in order to establish overall uniformity in pol4cifA among
the various departments of the City and to make possible theme, e � ges
cited above, that the following procedure be adopted: ,.y

t
DATE REFERENCE N suaeatCt Changes in Community Facilities PAGE
Policy

lj The developer shall be required to retain his own engineer for all design
in new subdivisions, including streets, storm drains, water, sanitary
sewer and street lights when the estimated construction cost will exceed'
C ,O for any one facility.
2 For projects estimated, to cost 'Less than $6,000.001 and other projects to
serve one lot or tract the developer may employ private engineers to do
this work or the City, at the developer's option, would provide the en-
gineering and charge 1 % of the estimated construction cost,
3 The City would perform all construction engineering without charge on all
projects regardless of size.
) In order to offset the increased cost to the 'dater and Sewer fund that the
n of engineering costs would otherwise produce, it is re-
change in division " e and sewer
re-
commended that the City s construction participation in water
facilities be reduced to 20% at the same time engineering costs to the City
are increased.
There is attached (A,ttach ent 118") a list of representative costs for a typical
subdivision development, comparing present engineering costs with engineering
costs based on the above formula.
Increased Charges for meter Service "laps
A, study was made of the cost of constructing 286 water taps and services, 3/
inch to 2 inch in size,, in dirt and surfaced streets, by City forces. It was
found that the tapping charges established by the City Code recover from 48 per
t o
n, costs
de depending on the size of service..
n true i g
cent to 7b per cent o
f the p
The cost of the meters, which ranges from $32.35 for a. new /8 inch x 3/4 inch
meter, to $1 8.12 for a 2 inch meter, is not included in the charge for a new
water tap.. A comparison of costs and revenues is shown in Attachment """C""'«
The actual cost of installing water taps in new subdivisions by contract is, of
course., determined by unit bid prices. The City recovered from 53 per cent to
79 per cent of the cast, as shown in "fable B on Attachment "C".
Since June 1962, water and sanitary sewer service taps have been constructed
are zoned for
ahead of assessment paving projects to serve vacant lots that ar
at
one and two family residences. The owner has the option of paying for the taps
before paving, at dirt street prices, or paying an additional $15 when the ser-
vice is activated at a later date. five hundred thirty-eight 3/4 inch and l
inch water taps were constructed ahead of assessment paving, during the past two
fiscal years,; however, only 48 of these service taps have been activated. Com-
parable data for sanitary sewer taps constructed ahead of assessment paving
shows 272 taps constructed and 11 taps activated..
In order to more nearly recover the current costs of ins?;44r Spa by City
forces, it is proposed to increase the standard tappi era lows:

For service taps in new developments, of the 17 citie surveyed, 16 charge more
for tap and meter installation than Fort Worth. In 13 of these cities, the de-
veloper incurs the actual expense of making the service tap, and additionally,,
there is a tap or meter charge to the developer or the builder. It is proposed
that developers in ,port Worth pay the actual bid price of new taps and services
when the services are installed by contract in new developments, or that they
pay the proposed charges listed above when the work is done by City forces.
Services 3 Inches and Larger
One type of meter installation not now covered in the City Code is the use of
multiple small meters in lieu of a. 3 inch or larger meter. Multiple meters are
adequate for some service installations and the construction cost is more econom-
ical. Since the customer now pays the full cost of meters 3 inches and larger,
plus the cost of repairs when necessary later, it is proposed that the customer
pay the actual cost of the smaller meters when used in Lieu of a larger meter.
However, the City would continue to maintain the meters and retain ownership.
It is proposed that the attached ordinance amending Chapter 37 of the city code
be adopted which will establi h new charges for new water and taps as
follows.

It is further recommended that the proposed ordinance. amending the present City
Code become effective October 1, 1967.
Community Facilities Contract Required Prior to Recording Final Plat
The present City policy permits the platting of land in accordance with State
law prior to the execution of a community facilities contract. This procedure
leaves a loophole by which a land developer could completely escape his re-
sponsibility for providing public improvements.
Under the present policy an owner of a tract of land may plat the land, receive
Plan Commission approval of the plat and have the plat recorded at the Court
House. He may then sell individual lots without providing any improvements.
After the land is in individual ownership the individuals can then request street
lights, storm drainage and paving under the City of Fort Worth's built-up area
policy.
In order to eliminate this possibility, a procedural change is pr d whereby
all the necessary improvements in a subdivision must either b 111; ,� or under
contract prior to the filing of the plat. The suggested ed4O 4 foll s:

1) The Planning commission approves a plat subject to the arrangements for the
community facilities being completed.
2) The Planning Director holds the final plat until the developer has executed
a community facilities agreement covering all necessary community facilities
and the necessary bonds or deposits have been received by the City.
3) Upon receipt of the developer's executed community facilities contracts, the
plat is filed by the City and the City Manager executes the community fa-
cilities agreements.
In the case of short form plat reviews, it is proposed that each department pre-
pare the community facilities agreement upon receipt of the plat. The complete
contract then could be furnished the developer as part of his plat approval.
It is also recommended that the $500 deposit currently required prior to the
staff's beginning work on the community facilities contract be made proportion-
ate to the size of the area platted. A deposit of $25 per acre with a minimum
deposit of $25 and a maximum deposit of $500 is recommended and the deposit will
be refunded to the developer upon execution of the community facilities contract
and filing the plat of record. It is further recommended that such deposits be
required only in those cases where the City provides the design engineering or
cost estimates.
