SECTION III -TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION AND OR ACTION
1. Recap
There was no discussion regarding flows, loadings, compliance report, and fiscal management.
2. Industrial Pretreatment
Jon Bridges reported on two different docwnents handed out at today's meeting from the Sanitation
District. These two addendums (1) Example Draft: Littleton Addendum -district does FOG (Fats,
Oils and Grease) & POGS (Petroleum, Oil, Grease and Sand), and (2) Example Draft: Englewood
Addendwn -no Industrial Users; are examples of the current status of the addendum for the sanitation
district with the 'check boxes' removed to avoid confusion. Currently, we are waiting on comments
from a couple of sanitation districts. Once these comments are received we will work with Hill &
Robbins and the city attorneys to prepare a final draft for Supervisory Committee review.
The only difference between these two documents will be in title. Littleton's will be "Addendum to
Sewer Service Agreement" and Englewood's will be "Addendum to Wastewater Connector's
Agreement.
The draft example, "Littleton Addendwn-district does FOG & POGS", represents an example of the
form that will be used for districts that conduct their own FOG and POGS inspections. The

USGS Gaging stations in the amount of $34,740. Eric Keck motioned, and Michael Penny seconded,
all in favor. The motion passed.
5. Am West Instrumentation and Control Support Agreement
Stu Fonda reported that the next few items are support agreements we sign each year. This is to keep
these companies available in emergencies, rather than getting a contract for every emergency. There
was no discussion regarding the Am West Instrumentation and Control Support Agreement. Stu asked
for a motion to approve. Eric Keck asked if we originally had two bids . Cindy Goodburn confirmed.
ACTION TAKEN -Supervisory Committee approved the AmWest Instrumentation and Control
Agreement for $48,000. Eric Keck motioned, and Charlie Blosten seconded, all in favor. The motion
passed.
6. Am West Programming Agreement
Stu Fonda asked for any questions in regards to the AmWest Programming Agreement for $48,000.
Eric Keck asked for further clarification. Brown & Caldwell set this up originally and they can do the
programming if needed. Cindy Goodbum clarified that, Fred Wilson, who was originally with Brown
& Caldwell is the one who implemented the design and programming for the entire system. Fred
Wilson is currently with Am West Control. Sarah Reeves confinned that Brown & Caldwell can still
do the programming if necessary.
Charlie Blosten brought up concerns using the qualifications of this one individual over the
qualifications of the company. Charlie had mentioned this same issue last year at this time. Cindy
Goodburn reassured that Fred Wilson has two employees working directly under him at Am West that •
are being trained to create backup for us. Stu verified that other people could come in to complete the

work. but Fred Wilson is the most familiar with our system programming. Charlie was still concerned
with being tied into one individual. Eric Keck asked if there was a proposal gleamed from Brown &
Caldwell for this work. Sarah Reeves stated that there was no proposal from Brown & Caldwell for
this work at this time. Need for obtaining a secondary proposal from another company was discussed.
Eric suggested that LIE WWTP get a backup proposal from Brown & Caldwell to alleviate concerns.
ACTION TAKEN -Supervisory Committee approved the AmWest Programming Agreement for
$48,000. Rick Kahm motioned, and Eric Keck seconded, Michael Penny aye, Charlie Blosten nay.
Three ayes and one nay. The motion passed.
7. Brown & Caldwell Professional Services Agreements for Engineering and
Environmental
Charlie Blosten asked for clarification on what projects are covered under this B&C Professional
Services Agreement. Chong Woo reported that these are the annual service agreements that we have
throughout the year. We have certain projects that come up for example B&C may do a structural
analysis for UE WWTP. B&C is the on-call advocate here and we would call on them to help us work
through engineering and environmental projects. Charlie asked if there was any specific project we are
working with right now. Chong reported that there are several on-going projects through B&C right
now, for example: review of the technical aspects of our electrical system to meet future needs. Sarah
Reeves mentioned that permits are up for renewal right now, so B&C is helping us with submitting
applications.
Eric Keck posed a question about the budgeting process itself. If we have remaining funds from the
2014 budget, and we are proposing to roll those funds into the budget for 2015, what is our exact
process for carry-overs in regards to the budget Eric would like to see things budgeted more tightly
going forward.
Dennis Stowe stated that we will just close out the 2014 budget and start new in 2015.
ACTION TAKEN -Supervisory Committee approved the Brown & Caldwell Professional Services
Agreement for Engineering and Environmental, not to exceed $40,000 for Engineering Services.
Michael Penny motioned, and Eric Keck seconded, all in favor.
8. Geographical Information System (GIS) -2015 Operations and Maintenance Services
Agreement
Chong Woo reported that this is the annual service agreement for the management and maintenance of
the GIS website. Charlie asked if we had any prior bids on this contract, and Stu confirmed that we
had competition earlier when we originally selected COM Smith, Inc. to do the work. This is an off-
site system that CDM Smith runs and manages. COM Smith hosts the website on their servers, so we
can all dial-in and access it. Charlie e,cpressed concern if COM Smith was the only company capable
in doing this work. Stu verified that we would be able to find a replacement if COM was not able to
complete the work.
Charlie Blosten asked how many times this website has been used. Jon Bridges mentioned that
Industrial Pretreatment uses it all the time. Eric asked about the aerial imagery update and if this was
being completed in concert with the City of Englewood efforts to avoid redundancy. Chong confirmed
that we were working with the City of Englewood.

favor.
9. Interim Disinfection Improvements Project-Status Update
There was no discussion regarding the Interim Disinfection Improvements Project.
ACTION TAKEN -None
10. Project Status Update
There was no discussion regarding Project Status Updates.
ACTION TAKEN -None
11. Biosolids -US EPA Region 8 Sewage Sludge Permit -Expiration
Jim Tallent discussed the expiration of our permit today. The EPA is divesting itself of the biosolids
program and they are consolidating the reporting aspects to the enforcement division and Kansas City.
The reports will go to Kansas City as opposed to Region 8 and they will continue to go to the State as
they are now. Where this is going long-term, it is unknown . Where our plant is concerned, we will
continue to function as we are now.
ACTION TAKEN -None
12. 2015 US Farm Bill / Biosolids Farms
J im Tallent discussed the US Farm Bill. This Farm Bill has more of a direct impact on the farmers
themselves as far as subsidy payments and their farming operations, However, we as the land owners
have to approve those plans.
We received one letter from one fanner who manages the biggest acreage of our farms. He gave us
recommendations on what he would like to do . Additionally, Jim sent out letters to our other contract
farmers . They are not required to do anything, but Jim is collecting information to see where the
farmers want to go with this Bill so Jim can prepare any action that may need approval by the
Supervisory Committee. One of the items up for discussion is to plant more com than wheat, which
will benefit UE WWTP since the com will use up more nitrogen than the wheat. Dennis mentioned
that each city will need to sign the forms on this Farm Bill.
ACTION TAKEN -None
13. Nutrinsic Corporation Research Project
J im Tallent discussed the Nutrinsic Corporation that is on LIE WWTP site. They are located in a
couple of steel containers to the south side of the Primary Clarifiers. Nutrinsic approached LIE
WWTP to do a research project investigating if it is feasible to remove nutrients from wastewater and
process those nutrients into a fertilizer product There is no impact on our process. There is no cost to
us directly. This project could benefit the wastewater industry in the future. Nutrinsic will be here for
anywhere between two to six months to complete their program. They will be sharing their findings
with us as well . Stu mentioned that this may help with Regulation 31 in the future .

16. Hill and Robbins Report
Andy Rottman reported that they are continuing to work on the temperature standard with Mary
Gardner and Integral. There will be a fair amount of work for this project coming up soon so we will
be updating everyone after this work has been completed.
The issue we have is that the State currently calculates the temperature standard based on the winter
and summer months. We have a hard time meeting those standards in the shoulder months. We have
been meeting with State, EPA and Colorado Department of Parks & Wildlife (CPW) over the phone
and discussed proposals. Also met with Boulder and Centennial to see what they are going to do in the
upcoming rulemaking. Centennial is going to go with temporary modification, and this is important to
us because they are also in Segment 14 of the South Platte River. We will ultimately have to go back
to the Division and CPW and get their support of our proposal before the ruling. If we are not
successful, it will have consequences for LIE WWTP. The state believes discharges can cool effluent
without chillers, but most think those methods are not feasible in Colorado. Mary Gardner mentioned
we have some fish data that can be very helpful to us, by showing that the fish are indeed very healthy
in our Segment.
ACTION TAKEN -None
17. Question by Charlie Blosten on High BOD
Charlie Blosten posed the question as to why our figure on page IV-4 of the Monthly Report was
showing a sharp increase during November 2014. Dennis confirmed that something did affect om
Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) at the plant. Someone dumped a large quantity of a soluble
organic that raised the BOD for a considerable amount of time and actually put us in danger of
violating our pennit limit for BOD on the 7-day average. Do we know who dumped this? We know it
is happening across the river to the west ofus. This is a great example of how we are utilizing the GIS
system to help track it. Jon Bridges and his team are investigating further. This is the third event that
has happened. We have an early detection sampler in place since the December 4th event.
Charlie asked about our fiscal management section and how we are almost two million dollars under
budget from 2014. He expressed his concern about the large sum of money being under-budget by.
This is a lot of money that we are currently accounting for in om rates. Stu Fonda mentioned that in
the past we had to get the budget amended and the two city councils decided against that, so the
general direction was to give ourselves some slack in the budget. Instead of budgeting against what we
budgeted last year, we can change our process to budget for what we spent the year prior. But then we
see differences in correct account allocations. Michael Penny mentioned that we would like to have

the budget a bit closer, but under budget for next year. The council members are new and the city
managers are new, so we would like to have this process tightened up better going forward.
