Pro�ect Short Description:
The City of Pasco(City)is evaluating the feasibility of developing an ASR program that would allow storing surplus
water available from the City's existing supply sources in aquifers beneath the City for use during periods of
peak-season demand. This project will build upon work completed under the first phase of the Pasco ASR Feasibility
Study.
Proiect Long Description:
The City of Pasco(City)is evaluating the feasibility of developing an ASR program that would allow storing surplus
water available from the City's existing supply sources in aquifers beneath the City for use during periods of
peak-season demand. The concept for a potential future Pasco ASR program would include withdrawing water from
existing supply sources during the winter months when demands for water are low,injecting and storing that water in an
aquifer system beneath the City using a well or series of wells,and recovering the stored water from those same wells to

meet peak summer demands.This would allow the City to augment peak-season demand needs and help meet
projected demand shortfalls without increasing permitted withdrawals from the Columbia River during the low-flow
summer months.A successful Pasco ASR program would allow the City to optimize use of their portion of the Quad
City water right permit and increase the sustainability and resiliency of their existing water supply sources.
Findings from the initial feasibility study suggest that development of a Pasco ASR program appears feasible. The City is
situated in a geologic region where the vast majority of operational ASR systems in the Pacific Northwest are located,
including active ASR facilities currently operated by the cities of Kennewick,Walla Walla,and Pendleton.The Umatilla
Member of the Saddle Mountains Basalt and the Frenchxnan Springs Member of the Wanapum Basalt have been
identified as potential storage aquifers for a Pasco ASR program.Additional work however,is recommended to better
understand ASR feasibility given the general lack of specific data on the target storage aquifers.
Building upon existing and available information compiled and evaluated as part of the inirial Pasco ASR feasibility study,
this next phase of the study will address hydrogeologic and water quality data gaps identified for the two candidate
basalt storage aquifers prior to conducting any site-specific exploratory or test well drilling investigations,and will
complete a preliminary water quality evaluation to assess geochemical compatibility between source water and basalt
groundwater.The water quality evaluation also will include a preliminary assessment of all known,available,and
reasonable methods of prevention,control,and treatment(AKART)to identify the likely best approach to reduce or
eliminate constituents that might violate the State's anti-degradation policy(Chapter 173-200-030 WAC).
Recommended next steps prior to conducting any site-specific drilling and testing investigations include(1)conducting
reconnaissance surveys of key basalt wells in the area,(2) collecting and analyzing ASR supply water and proxy
groundwater quality samples,and(3)completing a geochemical compatibility assessment to evaluate for potential
adverse geochemical reactions between ASR supply water and groundwater and to identify contaminants likely to
exceed groundwater quality criteria or baseline groundwater quality conditions.
Overall Goal:
The goal of a potential future Pasco ASR program would be to maintain robust and sustainable long-term water supplies
for the City of Pasco without expanding use of summer dry-season sources. By utilizing existing water rights in times of
surplus supply to store water for later use,the City can optimize its supply portfolio in an environmentally sustainable
way.
The overall goal of this phase of the project is to fill key data gaps identified during the initial Pasco ASR Feasibility
Study prior to conducting any site-specific exploratory drilling and testing investigations to further assess feasibility and
to guide a future ASR drilling and testing program.

SCOPE OF WORK
TaskNumber: 2 TaskCost: $55,103.00
Task Title: Basalt Well Reconnaissance Surveys
Task Descri tion:
Three deep basalt wells identified as part of the initial feasibility study were recognized as key wells that could potentially
provide additional information to further assess ASR feasibility prior to designing and conducting any site-specific exploratory
drilling or basalt test well installations. Two of the wells were drilled for the U.S.Government Naval Air Station circa 1943. T'he
wells are approximately 1,050-feet deep and are located somewhere near the Tri-Cities Airport.Based on their reported
depths,the wells may be completed in the upper portion of the Wanapum Basalt.No construction diagrams were discovered
for these wells and their status is unknown.An additi�nal deep basalt well(Welch's well)is in north Kennewick south of the
study area. Based on the geologist and driller's logs,the Welch's well penetrated an interflow zone within the Umatilla Member
that was approximately 50 feet thick and capable of very high groundwater yields.
Specific work activities to be completed as part of this task include:
• Review water rights information and parcel maps to help identify the actual locations and owners of the wells.
• Obtain and review drillers'logs for the airport wells that Durand&Son drilled in the early 1940's for the U.S.government.
We understand that the logs are not available in Ecology's well log database and that the Durand family donated all their well
logs and notes to Whitman College.
• Prepare for and conduct a site visit of the wells to evaluate their availability for video surveying,groundwater level
monitoring,pump testing,geophysical logging,and water quality saxnpling.
• Prepare a draft technical memorandum and lead a presentation for Ecology that will summarize findings and recommend
next steps.
• Prepare a final technical memorandum based on Ecology review/comment.
Should results indicate that the wells are available for evaluation and testing,a scope of work and budget amendment for this
task will be prepared and requested to conduct the following anticipated work activities:
• Develop a work plan and Quality Assurance Project Plan(QAPP)for the recommended well evaluations,testing and
sampling activities.Development of the plans will be completed in close coordination with and input from Ecology.
• Prepare technical specifications for bidding/contracting a licensed water well contractor to assist with the investigative
work.
• Develop a project-specific health and safety plan for field activities.
• Provide field oversight for the recommended investigative activities and conduct field work according to the approved
work plan and QAPP.
• Prepare a technical memorandum and lead a presentation for Ecology that will summarize work completed and results from
the investigation, and that will provide a recommendation to proceed with Task 3 or to reevaluate next steps before moving
forward.
• Prepare a final technical memorandum based on Ecology review/comment.
Task Goal Statement:
The objective,of this task is to facilitate filling key hydrogeologic and water quality data gaps to the extent possible with the
purpose of further assessing ASR feasibility prior to designing and conducting any costly site-specific exploratory drilling or
basalt test well installations.

SCOPE OF WORK
Task Number: 3 Task Cost: $220,059.00
Task Title: Water Quality Evaluation
Task Description:
Collect water quality samples from the City's West Pasco water treahnent plant and Columbia River Intake and submit for
comprehensive analyses by a State accredited water quality laboratory. Eight water quality samples will be collected from each
identified sample location over a period of at least one year and analyzed to establish baseline conditions and water quality
variability according to Ecology's Implementation Guidance for the Ground Water Quality Standards (Publication#96-02).
The water quality sampling program will be developed in close coordination with and input from Ecology.
If findings from Task 2 are favorable and Ecology authorizes the work to continue,the specific work activities to be completed
as part of this Task 3 will include:
• Plan for and lead water quality evaluation planning meeting with Ecology.
• Develop a work plan and QAPP f�r water quality sampling and analyses.
• Coordinate with and incorporate input from Ecology on preparation of the work plan and QAPP.
• Develop a project-specific health and safety plan for field activities.
• Plan for and coordinate all water quality sampling events with the City and analytical laboratory.
• Monitor field parameters and collect water quality samples according to Ecology-approved work plan and QAPP.
• Tabulate and summarize water quality laboratory test results and compare against drinking water and groundwater quality
standards(Chapters 246-290-310 and 173-200-040 WAC).
• Compare source water quality results against native groundwater quality data from the deep basalt wells during Task 2,and
mineralogical and whole-rock composition data of the aquifer solids from the City of Kennewick ASR-1 feasibility study to
complete a preliminary geochemical compatibility assessment. The geochemical compatibility assessment would evaluate the
effect of potential geochemical reactions resulting from interactions between source water,receiving groundwater,and aquifer
solids on well performance and on the quality of the native groundwater and source water recovered from storage.
• Conduct a preliminary AKART analysis and prepare a dra$overriding consideration of the public interest (OCPI)
determination request. The preliminary AKART analysis and draft OCPI determination will be completed to evaluate the best
approach to reduce or eliminate constituents that might violate the anti-degradation policy and to evaluate other strategies or
approaches for meeting water quality criteria and the State's anti-degradation policy. The AKART analysis and OCPI
determination will be conducted according to Ecology's Guidance for Aquifer Storage and Recovery AKART Analysis and
Overriding Consideration of the Public Interest Demonstration(Publication No. 17-10-035).
Task Goal Statement:
The objective of this task is to assess whether the State's groundwater quality standards can be met,with the purpose of
identifying water treatment and infrastructure altematives potentially available to reduce environmental risks of a future Pasco
ASR program.
Task Expected Outcome:
The expected outcomes should Ecology authorize work to continue under this Task 3 will include findings from the water
quality evaluation,preliminary AKART analysis, and draft OCPI determination request based on existing and available
treatabiliTy data and provisions within Chapter 173-200 WAC. The expected outcomes also will include planning-level cost
estimates for wellhead treatment based on the viable options identified and a recommendation to meet compliance with State
