Re: Supplemental Proposal for Remediation of the North Well
Hawthorne Avenue Pumping Station
Waterloo, Iowa
Terracon Proposal No. P13217071A
Dear Mr. Castle:
Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon) appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal for
remediation of the North flood control relief well located at the Hawthorne Avenue Pumping
Station in Waterloo, Iowa (hereinafter, the site). Terracon's general scope of services, budget,
schedule, health and safety plan, and general comments are provided in the following sections
A PROJECT INFORMATION
Terracon submitted a Relief Well Assessment report (Terracon Project 13217071, dated
November 12, 2021)for the North and South wells at the site. Based on the testing results at
the North Well, Terracon recommended that additional remediation actives be conducted to
remove the river silt that was unable to be removed by bailing the well. The follow activities
should be conducted on the North Well:
Using Airlift equipment, clear well to bottom
Inject approximately 3,000-gallons of 300 ppm Chlorine and Nu-Well 220 polymer
dispersants into the well
Use airlift equipment with a double disc surge block to simultaneously surge and airlift
each 3-4' section of the screened area for a minimum of 30-45 minutes
Conduct downhole video survey of the well
Perform 3-point pump test of well and recorded measurements of discharge,
drawdown and sand content

Hawthorne Avenue Pumping Station Waterloo, Iowa
November 17, 2021 ■ Terracon Proposal No. P13217071A
B SCOPE OF SERVICES
Terracon has a 100% commitment to the safety of all its employees. As such, and in
accordance with our Incident and Injury Free® safety culture, Terracon will develop a safety
plan for use by our personnel during field services.
Prior to commencement of on-site activities, Terracon will hold a meeting to review health and
safety needs for this specific project.
The scope of services to be provided by Terracon for this project follows.
B.1 Field Services
Terracon will team with Cahoy Pump Service for this project. Work includes providing labor,
materials, equipment, supervision, mobilization/demobilization, and cleanup to perform
remediation activities on the North well. The scope of services will include the following:
■ Prep & mobilize to site
■ Remove well cap
■ Provide & Install Airlift equipment to clear well to bottom
■ Remove Airlift Equipment
Install a 3,000-gallon batch of 300PPM Chlorine & NW220 solution
Provide / Install airlift equipment & double disc surge block
Simultaneously surge & airlift each 3-4' section of the screened area for a minimum of
30-45 minutes throughout the length of the screened area
■ Remove airlift equipment
■ Perform final TV survey of the well
■ Clear site & demobilize
■ Disinfect well & reinstall cap
Perform 3-point pump test of the North Well with recorded measurements of drawdown
and discharge including sand content
Site Access and Property Disturbance: We considered that the site and well location can
be accessed using truck-mounted equipment. Terracon personnel will take reasonable
measures to limit the amount of damage to the property. However, some damage to
pavements, rutting of the ground surface, and/or damage to landscape could occur.
Proposal assumes discharge within 100 feet of the well or less. Assuming the water is clean,
we understand the discharge will be to the grass areas south of the wells. A 90 degree bend
will be placed at the end of the hose so the discharge shoots upwards, dispersing the water
over a large area at less velocity. We understand that the discharge will not reach navigable

waters and would be covered under NPDES General Permit #9 for temporary groundwater
dewatering to facilitate construction activity and a Notice of Intent would not be required.
Terracon will contact Iowa Department of Natural Resources regarding the requirements of a
statewide permit. City of Waterloo will be responsible for local permitting.
Laboratory Testing
No laboratory testing has been requested for this project.
Safety
Terracon is currently not aware of environmental concerns at this project site that would create
health or safety hazards associated with our field exploration program. Thus, the estimated
fee includes our exploration team using standard Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) for
geotechnical drilling including hard hats, safety glasses, hearing protection, high visibility
vests, and steel-toed boots. Our scope of services does not include environmental site
assessment services, but identification of unusual or unnatural materials encountered while
drilling and/or sampling will be noted on our logs and discussed in our report.
B.2 Transmittal
Upon completion of site activities, Terracon will prepare a final transmittal that includes the
following:
■ Documentation of field activities;
Determination of the condition and adequacy of the relief well and current capacity
based on the pump testing,
C COMPENSATION
For the scope of services outlined in this proposal, we estimate a fee of $56,800 to $58,750
as itemized in the attached Exhibit. However, Terracon would only invoice for the services
provided. Unless instructed otherwise, invoices would be submitted monthly to the addressee
of this proposal.
D PROJECT SCHEDULE
Our schedule may be dependent on when we receive authorization to proceed. We can
generally begin the subsurface exploration within about 15 working days after receiving
authorization, the clearance of public and private site utilities, and any other access and permit
permission. In some instances, weather and/or site conditions can delay our drilling schedule.
