AMENDED AND RESTATED WASTEWATER TRANSMISSION AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED WASTEWATER TRANSMISSION AGREEMENT
("Agreement") is made and entered into effective as of June 19 , 2006, by and between
SOUTH ARAPAHOE SANITATION DIS!"'tUCT , a Colorado quasi-municipal corporation
("SOUTH ARAPAHOE"); the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF THE
COUNTY OF ARAPAHOE, a body corporate and politic of the State of Colorado (the
"COUNTY"); and WASTE MANAGEMENT OF COLORADO, INC ., a corporation
("WMC ").
RECITALS
A. Th e COUNTY owns County Line Landfill (the "Landfill"), located in Douglas
County, Colorado at the intersection of South Colorado Boulevard and County Line Road.
B. WMC is the operator and manager of the Landfill pursuant to an agreement
with the CO lTN TY.
C. Rainfall and natural drainage have caused storm waters containing
contaminants or potential contaminants to collect at the Landfill.
D. SOUTH ARAPAHOE owns public sewer facilities in the vicinity of the
Landfill .
E. SOUTH ARAP AHOE's mains flow into the Big Dry Creek Interceptor (the
"Interceptor"), which is owned in various segments by Southgate Sanitation District
("SOUTHGATE") and the City of Englewood ("ENGLEWOOD"), and which is operated
pursuant to a Basin Interceptor Agreement dated as of August I, 1990 (the "BIA"). The
Interceptor delivers sewage flows from SOUTH ARAPAHOE's service area to the Bi-City
Treatment Plant (the "Plant") owned jointly by ENGLEWOOD and the City of Littleton;
ENGLEWOOD operates and manages the Plant pursuant to an agreement with the City of
Littleton.
F. On or about January 21, 1985, SOUTH ARAPAHOE, the COUNTY,
ENGLEWOOD and WMC entered into a Wastewater Transmission Agreement (the "1985
Agreement") pr,·suant to which storm waters collected at the Landfill have been transmitted
to the Plant. 'fil e I 985 Agreement was extended and modified by an Amendment dat ed
October I, 1990 (the "Amendment").
G. Under the 1985 Agreeme11t , WMC installed a lift station and dewatering sump,
which were then connected to the SOUTH ARAPAHOE sanitary sewer system . This
connection to SOUTH ARAPAHOE faci~!ties is hereinafter called the "Landfill Tap."
H. On or about March 31, 1995 , in recognition of changed circumstances, the parties
entered into a restated and amended version of the 1985 agreement to add an additional tap,
referred to as the "Fairways Tap," and to make other changes. The 1995 agreement was
A
extended twice, and the last extensioa expired Muy 15, 2005. Upon expiration, the agreements •
require that the taps be disconnected from SOUTH ARAPAHOE'S system .
I. The dewatering of the Landfill is essentially complete, but it will be useful to the
COUNTY and WMC to continue the connection of the Landfill Tap to SOUTH ARAPAHOE'S
system, in order to discharge a small amount of "c ondensate" that continues to collect in the lift
station vault, together with ground water that is introduced intentionally to provide sufficient
fluid vo lume to permit the lift station pumps to operate properly . It is anticipated that the
combined volume of condensate and ground water ("combined discharge volwne") will ,101
exceed 600 gallons per month .
J. SOUTH ARAPAHOE and the other participants in the EIA have no objection to
th e co ntinuation of the Landfill Tap connection, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
AGREEMENT
FOR AND INCONSIDERATION of the mutual promises and undertakings set forth herein , the
parties agree as follows :
I. Limited Scope of Agreement. The pwpose of this P. ,, < .:nt is to permit the use
of SOUTH ARAPAHOE facilities and the Interceptor to conve1 disch arge resulting from
"condensate" and ground water as above recited, and only from the Landfill and only for a
limited period of time. This Agreement shall not be construed or asserted as the basis of any
offer or willingness or ability on the part of SOUTH ARAPAHOE, SOUTHGATE , or •
ENGLEWOOD to provide sanitary sewer service to the public generally or to any area outside
the specific limits of the Landfill, except as is specifically provided herein.
2. Landfill Tap . The Landfill Tap shall be governed by this Agreement. A drawi ng
depicting the location of the Landfill Tap connection is attached hereto as Exhib it A, and
incorporated herein by refere, .ce. The Landfill Tap connection shall not be altered or modified
in any manner without express prior written consent SOUTH ARAPAHOE .
3. Fairways Tap . If not done by the date of execution hereof, the Fairways Tap sh all
be physically disconnected from the SOUTH ARAPAHOE system and properly abandoned per
SOUTH ARAPAHOE'S directives no later than August I, 2006 , at the expense ofWMC and the
COUNTY . WMC shall give SOUTH ARAPAHOE at least seventy-two hours' advance notice
before performing the disconnection.
4. Connections Limited . WMC and the COUNTY shall prevent the connection of
sewer lines from any area other than the Lan dfi ll through the Landfill Tap. In ad 1ition to any
other remedies herein provided, SOUTH ARAPAHOE shall have the right inu,1ediately to
disconnect facilities serving any other area regardless of where the unauthorized connection is
made and to charge th~ CO UNTY and WMC for the costs thereof.

5. Other Agreements/Permits .
5.1 In the performance of the ir obligations under this Agreement, the
COUNTY and WMC will satisfy, adhere to, and be bound by all of the performance standards,
terms, and conditions contained in the following contracts:
a. NEW WASTEWATER CONTRIBUTION PERMIT# 90-02 with
an effective date of May 16 , 2005, and an expiration date of May I 5, 2008, permitting WMC to
discharge to the Plant ; and
b. Connector's Agreement between the COUNTY and
ENGLEWOOD dated August 20, 1984, as amended by Amendment dated June 27, 1987 and
Con so lidated Amendments to Agreements dated July 2, 1990; and
c. First Amendment to the Consolidated Amendments to
Agreements dated March 21, I 995.
A violation or bre ach of any of such standards, terms, or conditions will be deemed a violation
or breach of this Agreement and will be cause for termination hereof, without regard to
whether either of the referenced contracts are in forc e at the time of the alleged violation or
breach .
5.2 Additionally , the COUNTY and WMC understand and agree that all the
rights and pri vi leges granted them by SOUTH ARAPAHOE herein are subject to the
provisions of the Connector's Agreement between SOUTH ARAPAHOE and ENGLEWOOD
and any successor agreements.
5.3 All service furnished hereunder by SOUTH : RAPAHOE,
SOUTHGATE, and ENGLEWOOD shall be subject to applicable Rules and F gulations of
SOUTH ARAPAHOE and SOUTHGATE , to the ENGLEWOOD Wastewater Utili ty
ordinance, and to any and all treatment permits issued by ENGLEWOOD for the discharge
from the Taps, all as now or hereafter constituted .
6. Tap Allocations. The tap allocations of SOUTH ARAPAHOE under
ENGLEWOOD's tap allocation program , if any, are not affected by either the Landfill Tap er
the Fairways Tap.
7. Connection Charges.
7.1 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5 above, because of the
limited term of this Agreement and the time and rate restrictions on discharge in Section I 0
below, there shall be no additional SOUT, • ARAPAHOE tap fee for the continuation of the
Landfill Tap . .
7 .2 Also because of said limitations and restrictions, the Landfill Tap shall •
not be deemed a coMection to the Interceptor under the BIA. If, however, discharge from the
Landfill Tap causes any impact upon any gallons-per-day capacity entitlements under the BIA,
such capacity impact shall'be deemed attributable to SOUIB ARAPAHOE . In such event the
COUNTY and WMC shall be liable for the payment of Line Charges under the BIA, calculated
as provided therein, and SOUIB ARAPAHOE may impose such tap fees or system
development charges upon the Lanclfiil Tap as arc applicable generally within that District. In
lieu of the foregoing, however, SOUIB ARAPAHOE may, at its discretion but not later than
sixty (60) days after notice of Intercept, apacity impact is given to SOUTH ARAPAHOE,
the COUNTY and WMC by SOUTIIGATE or ENGLEWOOD, alter the time and rate
restrictions on Landfill discharge into its system so as to eliminate the capacity impact upon
the Interceptor .
7.3 The agreement to waive coMection charges is based upon the
understanding and assumption that the "condensate" ph8$e of ihe Landfill dewatering program
is temporary. If the Landfill Tap has not been discoMected at or before the expiration of this
Agreement as stated in 14.1, at the election of SOUTH ARAPAHOE in its sole and unlimited
discretion, the Landfill Tap may be deemed permanent. Upon a determination to such effect by
resolution of the SOUTH ARAPAHOE Board of Directors following reasonable notice to and
an opportunity for the COUNTY and WMC to be heard, all coMection charges and tap fees
attributable to the Landfill Tap will be due and payable within 30 days thereafter, at the then
current amounts and calculation formulae, and the Landfill Tap will be accounted for under the
BIA as a new connection to the SOUTH ARAPAHOE system as of that date. The Landfill Tap
will not , however, count against the Taps for which SOUTHGATE agreed to pay Line Charges •
under the May 31, 1990 Agreement between SOUTH ARAPAHOE and SOUTHGATE. In the
event the Landfill Tap is determined to be permanent, the COUNTY and WMC shall
thereafter be jointly and severally liable to pay Line Charges and maintenance charges
attributable to the Landfill Tap directly to ENGLEWOOD. If as of the expiration of this
Agreement SOUTH ARAPAHOE has not determined the Landfill Tap to be permanent as
provided above, the Landfill Tap shall be prompt' and permanently discoMected and properly
abandoned in accordance with SOUTH ARAP AhVE directives .
8. Maintenance Charges.
8.1 The SOUTH ARAPAHOE annual service r-harge for the Landfill Tap
shall be Five Hundred Dollars ($500 .00). Such fees shall be paid in advance, on the date of the
execution hereof and on each anniversary thereafter while this Agreement is in effect.
8.2 Because of the negligible flows expected from the Landfill Tap, the
COUNTY and WMC shall not be liable for any maintenance charges imposed pursuant to the
BIA. It is recognized that if the volume of discharge ex eds expectations, payment of such
maintenance charges may be imposed as a ~ndition of continued coMection of the Landfill Tap .
9. Costs R~imbursement. The COUNTY and WMC shall be jointly obligated to
reimburse SOUTH ARAPAHOE the one-time sum of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000 .00) for the
engineering and legal fees incurred in respondinr. to the request by the COUNTY and WMC for •

•
this Agreement. These e·,penses include but are not limited to drafting o' this Agreement by
SOUTI-l ARAPAHOE'S legal counsel and the review of same by the consulting engineer . Such
reimbursement shall be paid on or befo re August I, 2006 .
10. Discharge Ljmitatjons. It is agreed that the total combined dischilrge volume
shall not exceed a running average of six hundred (600) gallons per month . This discharge may
be accomplished at a rate not to exceed twenty (20) gallons per minute at any time, or, between
the hours of I 0:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m ., the rate may be increased to a maximum of one hundred
twenty (120) gallons per minute for not more than five consecutive minutes.
11 . Emergency Shutoff. SOUTH ARAPAHOE, SOUTH GA TE, and •. NGLEWOOD
shall at all times have the right, without liability for damages to the COUNTY or WMC, to
interrupt the discharge of Landfill wastewater in the event of a blockage or rupture anywhere
within the SOUTH ARAPAHOE system, the Interceptor or the Plant
12 . Monitoring: Reporting.
12 .1 During the term of this Agreement, the COUNTY and WMC will furnish
SOUTH ARAPAHOE, SOUTHGATE, and ENGLEWOOD with copies of all flow charts,
analytical reports, tests, and test results involving the wastewater removal program submitted by
them to the Colorado Department of Health. Additionally, SOUTI-l ARAPAHOE may monitor
the Landfill Tap, review any flow charts, analytical reports, and tests made by any of the pi.rties ,
and have access to the Landfill Taps to examine, inspect, and make such tests of the Landfill
wastewater as it deems necessary, provided that in exercising its rig! ; hereunder SOUTI-l
ARAPAHOE does not interfere unreasonably with the operation of the Landfill Taps or impose
an unreasonable administrative burden on WMC. The COUNTY and WMC shall reimburse
SOUTH ARAPAHOE for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any examination
and testing which does not duplicate informati on previously provided to SOUTI-l ARAPAHOE
by the COUNTY and WMC hereunder.
12 .2 The COUNTY and WMC shall monitor contaminants present in the
discharge at th e Landfill Tap, and shall provide copies of the documents sub:-nitted to the
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to SOUTH ARAPAHOE and
SOUTI!GATE, and shall notify SOUTH ARAPAHOE and SOUTHGATE immediately of any
changes or new toxic or hazardous material found.
13. rure of Violations . The COUNTY and WMC shall correct an t violations or
breaches of this Agreement, or other condit ions reasor.ably determined by SOUTH
ARAPAHOE, SOUTHGATE or ENGLEWOOD to be i~jurious to SOUTH ARAPAHOE
facilities, the Interceptor, or the Plant. Upon the failure of the COUNTY or WMC to take
appropriate corrective action after notice by SOUTH ARAPAHOE , SOUTHGATE or
ENGLEWOOD, any or all of said parties shall have any or all of the following remedies:
undertake such corrective action as it deeins necessary to halt landfill discharge into SOUTH
ARAPAHOE facilities : disconnect the Landfill Tap from SOUTH ARAPAHOE facilities: and
obtain injunctive or other relief from any court of competent jurisdiction. Such remedies shall be
cumulative, and the COUNTY and WMC shall be jointly and severally responsib le and liable to
SOUTH ARAPAHOE, SOUTHGATE and ENGLEWOOD, as appropriate, for all expenses,
including engineering and attorney fe as , incurred in connection with the corrective work . In the •
event of litigation, the prevailing pai.y shall be entitled to recover its expenses and costs of suit,
including attorney fees and other professional fees and charges .
14 . Term: Termination .

CONTRIBUTION PERMIT # 90-02, or refuses for any reason to treat discharge u-om the
Landfill Tap;
b. Any party commits a material breach of any provision hereof and
fails to cure the same within sixty (60) days after service of written notice of breach u11on it,
which notice shall identify with particularity the act or omission complained of and the cure that
is demanded;
c. SOUTH ARAPAHOE reasonably determines that the rate of
discharge substantially exceeds the limitation set forth in Section IO above ; •
d. The Landfill wastewater drainage contemplated by this
Agreement is completed.
14 .3 Upon the terminahnn of this Agreement, the Landfill Tap shall be
disconnected permanently from SOUTH ARAPAHOE facilities in accordance with all
applicab le regulations of governmental egencies having jurisdiction, including without
limitation, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. All work involved in
such disconnection shall be subject further to the approval of SOUTH ARAPAHOE. The
COUNTY and WMC shall pay all of the costs incurred in the disconnection of the COUNTY
system, including the inspection and other costs of SOUTH ARAPAHO E's consulting
engineer .
14.4 If for any reason the Landfill Tap is disconnected from SOUTH
ARAPAHOE facilities before all "condensate" is removed from the Landfill, the COUNTY
and WMC acknowledge and agree that an acceptable alternative means of removing such
remaining "condensate" exists in the fonn of trucking, and that the re moval of wastewater
from the Landfill through SOUTH ARAPAHOE facilities and the Interceptor as provided in
this Agreement, while less expensive, is not necessary for public health or related reasons .

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Date: Agenda Item: Subject:
August 21, 2006 9 a I Amended Wastewater Transmission Agreement
for County Line Landfill
Initiated By: I Staff Source:
Utilities Department Stewart H. Fonda, Director of Utilities
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
None .
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Water and Sewer Board, al their July 11 , 2006 meeting, recommended Council adopt a Bill for
an Ordinance approving the Amended and Restated Wastewater Transmiss io n Agreement with
County Line Landfill .
BACKGROLIND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
The proposed amended agreement w ill allow County Line Landfill to conlinuL lo discharge
accumulated grour.~water and condensate to the collection system of the Litdeton /Englewood
Wastewater Treatmen t Plant under th e conditions of a Wastewater Contribution Permit. The
pre vio us agreement expired May 15, 2005. The Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant
Pretreatment Di vision has monitored pollutants quarterly from the landfill since 1985 and has not
seen a significant impact from the landfill's discharge .
The permit is reevaluated every year, after the facility inspection . The existing Wastewater
Contribution Permit will expire May 1 5, 2008 and is subject to renewal. The landfill discharges an
average of 470 gallons of groundwater condensate per year since 2004. The Pretre atment Division
assesses this discharge from the landfill and analyzes the data to determine impact to the coll ,,ction
system and the wastewater treatment plant. The Wastewat er Contribution Permit requires the
landfill to continue to submit volume and co ntent data so the pretreatment division can monitor this
discharge .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None .
