RE: Proposal for: Williamsport Brine Treatment Facility
RETTEW Project No. 08-08461-002
Dear Mrs. Wascher:
RETTEW Associates, Inc., will actively partner with you in making the Williamsport Brine
Treatment Facility project a success. We are committed to providing you solutions through
comprehensive Environmental Engineering services, and to deliver that promise, a clear
understanding of your goals is critical. We understand your goals to be:
• Permit and design a 200,000 gallon per day facility to treat brine with no stream
discharge. (Option to discharge to the lake would be available as an alternative)
• Obtain Land Development approval from Woodward Township for the proposed
improvements.
• Obtain Erosion and Sediment Control approval for the proposed earth disturbance.
Additionally, in preparing this proposal we identified certain project considerations worth noting.
They are:
• The overall treatment system will include: bulk collection (500,000 gallons of bulk
storage), heavy metals removal to include pH adjustment (2 buffering systems
executed in series), coagulation and clarification, dewatering (sludge holding tank and
a dewatering filter press), staged preheating step (insulated preheat tanks for feeding
the evaporator), thermal evaporation of the water from the salt, salt collection, and
final water collection.
• The final water holding system will include the collection of treated water plus the
ability to blend in water fresh water from the pond owned by Bud Williams. The
water to be pumped from the lake to the tanks should include a gross solids removal
and fine filtration. (The design of the water withdrawal system is not included in this
proposal.)
• An existing site building will be used to house'the proposed treatment equipment. The
building improvements to be performed by others will include: electrical upgrades,
motor control centers, concrete floors with curbing and trenching, lighting, security,
and insulation of the wall, heating and ventilation system, office space, laboratory
space, and rest rooms.

WK
• The existing site will need to consider the utilization of the weigh scale for the trucks
that will haul water in and out of the facility. If no weigh scales are to be used, an
alternative method of determining the volume of water brought to and hauled from
the facility needs to be developed.
• The facility will also need to be closed and locked to prevent off-site access except
through the gate of the facility. We will provide a generic detail for the area to be
isolated. For the installation of a fence, the pond will need to be isolated from the
operation.
• The permitting for this facility will consist of the preparation of the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Part I and Part II Permit; Industrial Waste
Permit and a General Residual Waste Handling Permit.
• We are anticipating and have proposed that the Land Development Plan will be
submitted as a Final Plan and not require a Preliminary Plan submission. This would
require approval of a waiver by the Woodward Township Board of Supervisors,
which is completely at their discretion. Denial of the waiver would require
submission of a Preliminary Plan.
• We are anticipating that there are no additional existing wetlands found in the area
than already identified, therefore wetland delineation and/or other related ecological
services are not included.
• Due to the proximity to the Susquehanna River, it is assumed that there is a detailed
flood study which will overlap the project site, therefore a floodplain study is not
included with this proposal.
RETTEW's tradition of delivering services with exceptional speed, accuracy, responsiveness,
and quality enables us to provide you with the comprehensive scope of services outlined within
this proposal at a competitive fee (see Compensation section).

The following is an outline of our Scope of Services and Foes for additional Engineering services
for the Williamsport Brine Treatment Facility project.
In preparing this addendum we identified certain project con iderations worth noting. Tbey are:
• D$P will require an air quality plan approval for the proposed boiler(s).
• Initially; it was envisioned that the adjacent pond owned by Bud Williams would be
used for cooling. This concept bas changed and therefore we will need to incorporate
the design of chiller(s)' and cooling tower(s) into the project.
• Water Treatment Solutions (WTS) has requestcd that a barium removal system be
incerpoarated into the design.
• Based on the recent DEP mooting, the Department and WTS concurred to provide for
the option of possible frmire stream discharge at times when the water demand
decreases. This will require that a wetland delineation be performed as it appears that
wetlands may need to be crossed"in order to reach Daughteaty's Run.
Below is an outline of our services that describes the additional scope of work for this project
and the associated fees to perform these services.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
A. PLAN APPROVAL APPLICATION - PHASE 523
To satisfy the requirements of DEP, a General Plan Approval Application for. air
permitting will be developed for the proposed natural gas fired boiler(s). RETTEW will:
1. Develop the General Plan Approval Application with the use of available data
concerning the boiler. Maximum potential emissions calculations for the boiler
will be documented. The application will incorporate relevant information
deemed necessary for the DEP to properly evaluate the emission source.
2. Prepare municipal notification letters, an behalf of WTS, to be mailed to the
Woodward Township and Lycorning County.

RETTEW Project No. 0&0$461-002
3. Prepare the DEP's Air Pollution Control Act Compliance Review Form.
4. Prepare the DEP's General Information Form.
5. Provide the General Plan Approval Application and the related forms,
attachments, and supporting documents to WTS for review and submittal to the
DEP. During the DEP's review of the application, RETTEW will provide
reasonable supplemental information that may be requested by DEP.
B. ADDITIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT. SYSTEM DESIGN (PHASE 528)
In addition to our previous scope of work, RETTEW will: .
1. Incorporate the design of the chiller(s) and cooling tower(s) into the project.
2. Incorporate the design of the barium removal system into the project.
3. Incorporate a discharge pipe from the facility to Daughrrty's Run on the property
to allow for. future stun discharge.
C. PHASE II - WETLAND DELINEATION (PHASE 401)
RETTEW will:
1. Conduct a detailed identification, delineation, and flagging of existing wetlands
and watercourses within an approximately 15-acre pad. site and along an
approximately 1000' by 30' wide pipeline corridor running from the pad site to
the stream.
2. Delineate in the field the location of the wetland boundary using the routine
criteria in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental
Laboratory 1987) as modified by the 1992 ROL. We will gather the necessary
data to document the wetland boundary and complete a wetland data sheet for
each sample site used to determine the wetland boundary. This will include a
description of the dominant plant species, soils information, hydrology, and a
summary of the rationale used in the dctenmination.
3. Stake and/or flag and neap the wetland boundary using a Trimble Pathfinder Pro
XIS Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. The data will then be
downloaded, processed, and plotted on existing base mapping.
4. Prepare a wetland report summarizing the conditions encountered on the site and
the methodology used in determining the wetland boundary. This report will
include a justification of the findings, data sheets, mapping, and photographs.
This report will be suitable for regulatory review and permit applications.
D. AGENCY COORDINATION (PHASE 454)
RETTEW will:

RE MW Project No. 08-08461-002
hilki
1. Conduct an online search of the Pennsylvania Natural Heritage database for a
Pennsylvanian Natural Diversity Invernory (PNDI) receipt to determine the
potential presence of known threatened or endangered species on the site.
2. Submit agency coordination letters to the PA Fish and Boat Commission and US
Fish and Wildlife Service to determine the potential presence of the threatened
and endangered species under their respective jurisdiction regardless of the results
of the online PNDI search.
E. GENERAL PERMIT 5 UTILITY LINE STREAM CROSSINGS (PHASE 405)
RBTIEW will:
I , Prepare and coordinate one each PASPGP-3 General Permit No. 4; Intake and
Outfall Structures (OP4) for stream discharge of treated water and one General
Permit No. 5; Utility Line Crossings (OP-5) for a stream crossing for review and
comment by the DEP.
2. Prepare and assemble the General Permit Applications. R,EITEW will complete
the General Perjnit Registration Forms, Single and Complete Project
Questionnaire, and appropriate forms as required. The forms will be assembled
along with project plans and cross sections, Act 14 Notifications, agency
coordination letters, color photographs and Wetland Identification and
Delineation Report for submittal to tie DEP.
A; QNS AND "RESTRiCTIONS
In addition to those stated elsewhere in this proposal, the following assumptions/restrictions
apply.
1. Residual waste permitting will be required by the DEP. This work will be
addressed in a subsequent addendum.
2. The project does not include the preparation of a Best Available Technology
(BAT) evaluation. The DEP, at its discretion, may or may not require a BAT
evaluation document to be submitted as part of the application package. If a BAT
evaluation document is required, the costs will be,considered out-of-scope and
result in additional fees. Historically, the DEP has not required a BAT evaluation
for boilers meeting the BAT requirements containedm the General Permit.
3. The DEP typically accepts a "General" Plan Approval Application for the type of
boiler that is anticipated for the site, therefore, the cost is based on preparing a
".General" Plan Approval Application. 14 however, the DEP would require a full
Plan Approval Application, the costs will be considered out-of-scope and result in
additional fees.
4. The project does not include the preparation of an Air Quality. Operating Pennit
Application.

5. The definition and delineation of wetlands on any specific site is subject to
ilit, pr- , I - by various public agencies. RMTEW will, to the best of its ability,
aca;mfely delineate the wetlands limits based 'on cuuiraut regulations and the
firms experience with the regulatory agencies. REMW cannot, however,
guarantee that the regulatory agencies involved will concur with those limits.
6. Under current Chapter 105 regulations, watlands encroachnments must be replaced
(mitigated) at a ratio of at least 1:1 for lost functions and acreage. watland
replacement design and implemeautation costs are not within the scope of this.
proposal.
7. Individual DEP permits require an assessment of environmental impacts using a
format provided by DEP to wetlands greeter thaw 1 acre in size or exceptional
value. These wetlands require a detailed functional assessment using either WET
2.0 or HEF. Costs to perform theae detailed fiunctional ancosm,ents are not within
the scope of this proposal.
8. Habitat assess or fieldwork associated with threatened and endangered
species agency coordination response letters are not within the scope of this
proposal
9. It is assumed that the proposed project can be permitted with General Permit 4
Intake and Outfall Structure and General Permit 5 Utility Line Crossing. If the
project cannot be permitted with General Permits, a Joint Permit Application will
be necessary. Cost to prepare and submit a Joint Permit Application is not within
the scope of this proposal.
