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 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

in an appropriate format.
Deliverables:
Supplemental Well Construction Rules. Draft Source Water Protection Ordinance.
