PO Box 293 / 525 N. Third Avenue
Pasco, WA 99301
Subject: Proposal for a Cost Evaluation for an Additional Food Processor
Dear Mr. Qayoumi:
Cascade Earth Sciences (CES) is pleased to submit this proposal for a Cost Evaluation for an
additional food processor to discharge process water to the City of Pasco (City) Process Water Reuse
Facility (PWRF).
Background
The City owns and operates the PWRF and conveyance system. The PWRF, Foster Wells Lift Station
(FWLS), and associated pipelines convey food processing wastewater (process water) from the three
existing food processors located in the Pasco Processing Center Industrial Park to the PWRF for land
treatment and agricultural reuse. The City is interested in attracting new contributions to the PWRF
as part of their economic development efforts. The City has been approached by another local food
processing company (Client) who is interested in discharging their process water to the PWRR The
Client provided the City with strategic options for handling the process water and would like to
understand the potential costs that may be associated with the various options. The City asked CES
and HDR, Inc. to prepare budgetary cost estimates for the Client options.
The list of options from the Client for handling the process water included:
A.1. City to provide winter storage
A.I.I. Return process water to Client for land treatment
A.1.2. Retain and apply the process water on City managed land treatment and reuse site
A.2. City to receive process water year-round
A.2.1. City to "treat" all process water and return to Client for land treatment
A.2.2. City apply the process water on City managed land treatment and reuse site
A.2.3. City to mechanically/chemically "treat' all process water and return to Client for
potable use
Objective
This proposal has been prepared to provide a scope of work to estimate budgetary costs associated
with the list of options provided to the City by the Client.

Scope of Work
Cost estimates will be developed to design, construct, and permit four of the five alternatives listed
above. At this time, CES suggests that the assessment of the fifth option, A.2.3. (mechanically/
chemically treat all process water for potable reuse) be postponed until the other four options utilizing
the City's existing PWRF are considered (see discussion below). The deliverable will be a brief
technical memorandum of planning level cost estimates.. A general description of issues and
assumptions to address each alternative are listed below:
Alternative A.1- City Receives Winter Flows
City is to receive water from the client during the winter storage period and return it to the Client for
treatment at their existing land site. Key criteria and components of this alternative include:
• Maximum design flow is 1.9 million gallons per day (MGD).
• Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) treatment system is based on 90% reduction at 3,200
milligrams per liter BOD at 1.9 MGD. This will include consideration for biosolids
management.
• Winter storage period is November through February.
• Transmission Option A: This option includes the installation of a new transmission pipeline
from the Client irrigation pump station to FWLS and connecting to the existing 16 -inch
pipeline. An alternative discharge for the 16 -inch pipeline will be designed at the PWRF to
route the Client water from entering the PWRF pretreatment system and keep it separate from
PWRF water. The current winter flows at the FWLS would flow only through the existing fl-
inch pipeline.
• Transmission Option B: This option includes the installation of a new transmission pipeline
from the Client irrigation pump station to the PWRR The new pipeline will be a pressure
main through an existing Highway 395 crossing, with appurtenances.
• Upgrade existing Client irrigation pump station to pump to the PWRF or FWIS.
• Construct anew storage pond based on the average volume from the Client of 209 million
gallons (MG) +10% for 230 MG.
• Fate of Process Water:
o Alternative A.1.1- Return process water to Client. For either transmission pipeline Option
A or B, the same pipeline will be used for the return, if possible. If not, a second pipeline
will need to be installed for return from storage. The return flow rate will need to be
determined depending on Client irrigation pump station capacity to handle Client plant
flow plus return flow simultaneously. To use the 16 -inch FWLS pipeline, return flow must
terminate (and the new storage pond emptied) by the time the existing 16 -inch pipeline is
needed for the higher seasonal flows from the processors currently utilizing the FWLS.
o Alternative A.1.2 - The Client process water will be retained for irrigation on the City land
treatment site. This option will require the lease or purchase of additional acreage (City to
provide cost estimates) and installation of additional field delivery infrastructure.

Page 3
Alternative A.2 - City Receives Year -Round Flows
City is to receive water from the Client year-round. Key criteria and components of this alternative
include:
• The maximum design flow is 2.1 MGD.
• This option includes the installation of a new transmission pipeline from the Client irrigation
pump station to the PWRF. This new pipeline will be a pressure main through either an
existing Highway 395 crossing with appurtenances or through a new crossing depending on
the options below for return or retain.
• Fate of Process Water:
o Alternative A.2.1- Return:
• This option includes the installation of a new pump station to pump Client water to
the PWRF.
A separate return pipeline will be installed to the Client irrigation pump station from
the PWRF. This likely requires a new Highway 395 crossing.
• No winter storage will be required if year-round land treatment at Client location
continues.
• BOD treatment system is based on 90% reduction at 4,420 milligrams per liter BOD at 2.1
MGD based on Client input. This will include consideration for biosolids management.
Winter storage (230 MG) will be required if year-round land treatment at Client
discontinues.
Alternative A.2.2 - The Client process water will be retained for irrigation on the City land
application and reuse site.
• Winter storage will be required (230 MG). Storage pond size will be based on average
volume from Client of 209 MG +10% for 230 MG.
Lease or purchase additional acreage (City to provide cost estimates) and install
delivery infrastructure.
Additional Discussion
During a review meeting of the list of Client options, the City (Ahmad Qayoumi) and CFS (Steve
Venner) determined that discharge of the Chenfs process water into the FWLS would not be a
reasonable choice unless it can be designed and operated to be kept separate from the existing PWRF
system. Commingling the Client water with the PWRF water at the F WLS would cause it to flow
through the PWRF pretreatment, unnecessarily consuming capacity and increasing PWRF costs.
Therefore, use of the 16 -inch pipeline or a dedicated pipeline from the Client to the PWRF will be
considered. It is understood, but must be verified, that the Client water has been sufficiently screened
(e.g., 0.020 inch) and clarified (does not contain silt or sand).
It is assumed that keeping the Client water and current PWRF water separate will minimize the cost
and complexity of the project by focusing the project resources in one area and developing the most
cost effective treatment and pond system possible. Developing a separate system avoids discharging

UMM
the Client water into the BOD treatment system currently under construction and into a complex
storage pond infrastructure; and avoids consuming storage capacity that would have to be built into
the new storage pond. Therefore, a separate BOD treatment and storage pond system will be
considered. If the cost of a separate system appears potentially favorable and the project moves
forward, any advantages of a combined system could be reviewed at that time.
It should be noted that the Client currently uses land treatment on a year-round basis. It is
understood that the regulatory agency is currently reviewing the Clients land treatment system. It is
not known if year-round land treatment will continue or if storage during the winter period will be
required. The regulatory requirements will affect the Client's consideration of costs and options.
It is recognized that in order to retain, rather than return the Client water, the City would require
additional land treatment acreage or would have to construct a nitrogen treatment system due to the
City land treatment system being at capacity for nitrogen loading from the current processors. The
cost to design and construct a nitrogen treatment system would be very significant and the cost to
estimate such a system is also significant. At this stage in the project, the first step is to estimate the
costs of only those components required in all scenarios. This includes transmission, BOD treatment,
storage of the Client water, and land -lease estimates. If these costs appear favorable with the Client
and City for moving the project forward, and nitrogen treatment still seems like an option, then
nitrogen treatment options and costs could be estimated at that time. Similarly, both the BOD and
nitrogen treatment scenarios and costs would need to be included in an evaluation to achieve potable
water quality. Again, if BOD, nitrogen, and possibly additional mechanical / chemical treatment to
achieve potable water appear potentially favorable after the information described in the scope of this
proposal are presented and discussed, then the cost estimates could be determined at that time. This
step wise approach, as described in the scope of this proposal, will save the City time and money in
addition to allowing the development of additional information that will be required to obtain more
accurate cost estimates on these advanced treatment scenarios if determined to be realistic.
Assumptions
Assumptions that have been used to prepare the proposed scope of work and cost estimate in
addition to those already discussed are provided below. Should differences from these assumptions
be required or encountered, the project cost implications will be discussed with the City.
• Cost estimates are developed from rough conceptual designs and mainly parametric in nature
for planning level budgetary purposes. Expected accuracy of estimates is expected to be
within 30% below and 50% above the actual capital costs. These costs will be refined as the
design progresses.
• The BOD treatment system costs will be scaled from existing vendor supplied quotes and will
not include new custom quotes from vendors to save time and money at this stage of the
project. CES and the City will work collectively using available information.
• Client irrigation pump station can be used to pump the Client water to the PWRF with limited
connection upgrades required.
• Client water is pretreated and quality is sufficient for BOD treatment without additional
screening and clarification at the PWRF.
