Task Order No. 10142a with Hydro Logic for Source Water Protection, area of Drilling Conern, Drilling OrdinanceTASK ®R®ER N4. 10142a Pursuant to the MASTER AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL, SERVICES BETWEEN GITY OF MERI®IAId (OWNER) AN® FiY®RO LOGIC, IIVC (I°IY®ROGEOLOGISI') This Task Order is made this 21St day of JUNE, 2012 and entered into by and between the City of Meridian, a municipal corporation organized under the laws of the State of Idaho, hereinafter referred to as "City", and accepted by (HYDRO LOGIG, INC), hereinafter referred to as "Hydrogeologist" pursuant to the mutual promises, covenant and conditions contained in the Master Agreement (Category 6a) between the above mentioned parties dated December 6, 2011. The Project Name for this Task Order 10142a is as follows; CITY ~ M RI®IAIV Source Water Protection; Area of Drilling Concern, and Drilling Ordinance PROJECT UNDERSTANDING The City of Meridian seeks to promote better drilling practices within its area of impact to protect its ground water supply. Primarily, it is concerned with improving well seals and materials of construction far all wells to prevent transport of water and contaminants (natural and human-introduced) between different layers of the aquifer. Primacy for regulating water wells rests with the Idaho Department of Water Resources {IDWR) in [daho and that agency is best equipped to implement and administer new special rule's for the City of Meridian. A statutory provision, the "Area of Drilling Concern" (ADG), is provided for in the administrative rules for well drilling. This designation, which can mandate enhanced rules for drilling and construction of water wells, has been conferred on an area of the Boise Valley already so that a precedent exists. The City wishes to pursue such a designation for its political boundary. The City has previously met with IDWR staff and leadership and received its commitment to consider, advertise, and process such a request by the City. IDWR requires a scientific study in support of such a designation; along with other requirements of advertisement and notification. The City has done significant research on the ground water system beneath it and has developed the majority of the scientific evidence needed to support such a request for an ADC. The City anticipates opposition to the request from various stakeholders. IDWR requires that al( affected parties be notified. City staff believe that such notification wfll improve the adds of getting the ADC designation. Notifications for and meetings with drillers, regulators, administrators, polititians, irrigators, reaitars, and the general public are included in the Task Order below. In addition, special one- on-one meetings with about fifteen drilling companies are included and considered very important to gain their support to IDWR in declaring the area. Task Order i 01 Ala -Source Water Protection Area of Drilling Concern and Drilling Ordinance Page i of 5 Hydro Loglo, Inc, TASK 1 ®DATA GATHERING, PROPOSED RULES, AND PRESENTATION DEVELOPMENT Task 1.1 -Develop Scientific Package Showing Need For ADC Hydrogeologist will assemble scientific data to support the need for an ADC and develop presentation materials to communicate the meaning and implications of the data. Sources of data include as built or as abandoned information on City and other production and monitoring wells. These presentation materials will be used in Task 2. This package includes; 1. Documentation of known cross-contamination through unsealed wells. 2. Documentation of existing natural and human caused contaminant plumes in the aquifer system. 3. Comparison of the proposed Meridian Area of Drilling Concern (MADG) to the existing West Boise Area of Drilling Concern (WBADC). 4. Documentation of the vulnerability of stratigraphic section to contamination. 5. Demonstration of differing potentiometric heads and ground water geochemistry across the geologic section. Deliverables; Presentation materials to be used as stand-alone documents or part of the outreach presentations in Task 2. Task 1.2 -Develop Supplemental Drilling Rules And Ordinance At the PM's direction Hydrogeologist will work directly with the PM to develop a City of Meridian Supplement to the IDAPA Weli Construction Standards Rules, and develop a draft Source Water Protection Ordinance that the City can adopt which references the Supplement. City staff have completed a draft version of both the Supplemental Standards and Ordinance based on previous input from Hydrogeologist. This task will complete this work. It is assumed that this task will require 2, 2-hour workshops and several versions of the draft supplement and draft ordinance be reviewed by the PM and the Hydrogeologist. It is also assumed that the City will use administrative staff and legal staff to put the draft supplement and draft ordinance in an appropriate format. Deliverables: Supplemental Well Construction Rules. Draft Source Water Protection Ordinance. TASK 2 -OUTREACH Task 2.1 - A,genc~®utreach Hydrogeologist and PM will develop a presentation for the Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) to gain buy-in for the ADC concept. Presentation will be developed and presented jointly by City staff (Assistant City Engineer and / or City Engineer). Presentation shall include: 1. Explanation of why an ADC is needed. Task Order 101A2a -Source Water Protection Area of Drilling concern and Drilling Ordinance Page 2 of 5 Hydra Laglc, ]nc. 2. Description of proposed additional requirements far drilling wells in the proposed Meridian ADC (MADC). 3. Proposed rules for IDWR to enforce in the MADC. 4. Proposed drilling prospectus for IDWR to require far new wells. Hydrogeologist and PM will provide a similar presentation to the Idaho Department of Environments! Quality. At the PM's direction, Hydrogeologist will meet with IDWR director / staff or other key stakeholders. This task specifically includes an initial meeting with Dave Tuthill, andan initial meeting with Gary Sparkman. Deliverables; Presentation including proposed supplemental rules and proposed well drilling prospectus. Meetings notes from IDWR and IDEA presentations. Task 2.2 - Public And Industry Outreach In coordination with the PM, the Hydrogeologist with develop and execute a public outreach plan, Outreach will included development and distribution of fetters, one-on-one meetings with some entities, and workshops or public meetings with other entities.

Outreach to the drilling contractor community including development and distribution of a notification letter explaining the City's intent, and up to 15 one-on-one meetings with drilling contractors. 7. Two public meetings for all stakeholders to gather information and provide comment. Specific subtasks assumed include developing and sending out a mass mailing to drillers, meeting with the drilling association president and board, and meeting separately with up to 15 drilling contractors to explain the ADC effort and seek support.
