M&C G-8204 re There was presented Mayor and Council. Communication No. G-8204 from the City
payment to the Manager, as follows:
American Water
SUBJECT: ASSESSMENT TO CREATE WATER INDUSTRY TECHNICAL ACTION FUND
Works Association
for the purpose RECOMMENDATION:
of establishing
a Water Industry It is recommended that the City Council authorize payment of a
Technical Action one-time assessment in the amount of $15,000 to the American Water
Fund Works Association for the purpose of establishing a Water Industry
Technical Action Fund.
DISCUSSION:
A fund raising effort has been launched by the American Water Works
Association (AWWA) to raise $2.2 million nationwide to enhance the
water industry's participation in the federal regulatory process.
Other organizations such as the Association of Metropolitan Water
Agencies, the National Water Resources Association and the National
Association of Water Companies are supporting the fund raising
effort. In addition, the National Rural Water Association is
considering a special assessment of its member utilities for the
fund.
The action fund will support studies and data collection with the
objective to provide accurate and extensive operating data to the
U.S. EPA staff as regulations are being formulated. Currently, the
water industry believes that such regulations are being promulgated
with little understanding of the complex technical issues involved.
As a group, the water industry in this country believes that it has
a public health obligation to ensure that the water supplied to its
consumers meets the highest standards of safety within a regulatory
framework that is practical and achievable. The aim is to produce
realistic, workable regulations.
In just the last two years there has been more legislative activity
directed at drinking water quality than in the past 100 years
combined. While Washington's influence on the water industry has
been great, the industry's influence on Washington has been
relatively small. As regulations are promulgated to implement this
water quality legislation, it is important that Fort Worth has an
opportunity to be involved in the process to ensure that the
approaches taken are workable for our situation. Identifiedas the
top three priority project areas for funding support are the
development of vulnerability criteria to be used in responding to
EPA's recently proposed SOC/IOC proposed rule, with an estimated
funding level $30,000-$50,000; radionucledes, $75,000-$125,000; and
a disinfection/disinfection byproducts data base effort, with an
estimated funding of $75,000-$100,000.
More than 150 water utilities around the country have already
committed over 50% of the assessment goal.
FINANCING:
Sufficient funds are available in Water and Sewer Operating Fund
45, Account No. 60-10-00, Water Administration. Expenditure will
be made from Index Code 370767.

Fort Worth entered into a contract with Cassata Learning' Center in
the amount of $8,631 to provide Pre -Enrollment Assessment at the
cost of $5.75 per participant for the contract period April 1, 1989

hundred (1,500) students were to be tested. Cassata has provided
assessment for one thousand eight hundred twenty-seven (1,827)
participants. The recommended contract amendment is based on the
costs to test additional youth.
The Pre -Enrollment Assessment was designed to measure the basic
skills grade equivalency of summer youth participants in reading
and mathematics. The scores were used to assign youth to
appropriate activities within SYETP program. The number of
participants to be tested was controlled by the Working Connection.
Through the same M&C, the City Council authorized the City to enter
into contract in the amount of $108,909 with the Fort Worth
Independent School District to implement the Discovery Program for
the contract period June 1, 1989 to August 26, 1989, for two
hundred (200) participants. The recommended contract amendment is
based on the costs to provide child care and transportation for
program participants. Provisions for these services were not
included in the original budget.

It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager
to execute an agreement with Alan Plummer and Associates, Inc., to
perform an evaluation of toxic substance monitoring data, including

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1989
M&C C-11853 cont. effluent biomonitoring and plant recycle stream quality, related to
the Village Creek Wastewater Treatment System (VCWTS) for a fee not
to exceed $9,400. .
DISCUSSION:
The City has recently received two orders for information from the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that require monitoring the
VCWTS discharge for toxic substances and effects. The information
is being requested in order for EPA to determine if the Clean Water
Act mandate of no discharge of toxic pollutants in toxic amounts to
waters of the United States is being accomplished. The first order
for information requires the City to perform biomonitoring tests on
the treated wastewater discharge to the Trinity River for a
one-year period, starting in January, 1989. In the biomonitoring
tests, two types of sensitive aquatic species are exposed to
wastewater effluent under controlled conditions to determine toxic
effects. These tests are to be performed on samples representative
of dry weather flows during normal operation. A second order for
information was obtained in June, 1989, requesting weekly
monitoring of the wastewater discharge for lead. The monitoring
results obtained between July and October, 1989, will be used by
the EPA to determine if excess concentrations of lead are being
discharged to the Trinity River from wastewater treatment plants.
Results of the above testing for toxics can cause the treatment of
wastewater to be impacted significantly, if they indicate toxic
effects or excessive toxic discharges. When biomonitoring tests
show toxic effects, a comprehensive study called a toxicity
reduction evaluation must be performed to determine the source of
toxic materials. If excessive amounts of specific toxic pollutants
are being discharged, such as lead, a limitation on discharges will
be added to the wastewater discharge permit. Such requirements
could lead to further limitations by the City for the discharge of
pollutants by industrial users and/or the addition of treatment
units of the VCWTS plant to remove limited pollutants.
The first few months of biomonitoring did not indicate toxic
effects, but the last few months did indicate toxic effects. The
last few months of testing correlate to high flows in the treatment
plant caused by wet weather, and this may be causing temporary
toxic effects. The first month of testing for lead in the
wastewater discharge indicates lead is not being discharged in
excessive quantities, however, prior treatment plant records show
the concentration of lead being discharged randomly increases for
short periods of time.
PROPOSED STUDY:
To thoroughly evaluate the current toxicity test results and to
preliminarily investigate possible sources of toxics, it is
proposed to employ a consultant with expertise in toxicity studies
to assist the City. The consultant would examine the biomonitoring
test data along with conditions in the Trinity River and treatment
plant, and develop a report for submission to EPA on the status of
the City's biomonitoring program. The consultant would also design
a program to measure toxics in plant recycle streams, evaluate test
data on recycle streams and design a program to identify major
sources of toxics contributed to the plant. A letter report would
be prepared presenting the findings of the study. A proposal to
perform the proposed study was requested from Alan Plummer and
Associates, Inc., a local firm with expertise in toxic material
studies. The proposed study would be for a period of 120 calendar
