Per the provisions in Idaho Code § 39-118(2)(d), the City of Meridian has retained the services of
CENTRA Consulting, Inc. as its Qualified Licensed Professional Engineer (QLPE), to verify that the
plans and specifications proposed for the above -referenced project comply with the IDEQ Facility and
Design Standards (IDAPA 58.01.16 and 58.01.08) and the applicable Meridian standards, and to
approve the project for construction. By virtue of their attached letter, they have reviewed and
approved the above referenced plans and specifications as complying with the Facility and Design
Standards, and Engineering Standards of Care as it relates to the reviewed elements.
The above referenced project complies with the City of Meridian's current Wastewater Facility Plan,
and Sewer Master Plan, and our system has adequate capacity to accept sewage wastes for treatment.
These determinations have been made by use of computer models developed for our Sewer Master
Plan. This project is also within the City's urban service planning boundary. Our Domestic Water
distribution system can provide water service and the minimum required fire flow (1000 GPM) and the
minimum required residual pressure of 20 PSI. These determinations have been made by use of
computer models developed for our Water Master Plan.
The City of Meridian will own and operate the wastewater collection and domestic water distribution
systems within this project upon final inspection and acknowledgement by formal acceptance letter. In
essence, the City of Meridian "Will Serve" the project.

Dave,
Warren Stewart, City Engineer, has expressed concern regarding the Waste Water Department's ability to access these
two manholes with their 70,000 pound Vac Truck. Could you explain how they will be able to have access?
He is holding off on signing the approval letter until this is addressed.
Thanks,
Steve
