�4Q���GpsopDes ... ro LHFco�L� 9 <br />1 <br />IUMTAS COUNTY <br />KXF=XWAs covrTrJcY <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />review the technical memorandum. Ecology has currently provided a Phase 1 review budget of <br />$12,825 which includes 190 hours of Ecology's time. <br />If no fatal flaws are identified in the Phase 1 technical memorandum, then Ecology will issue a <br />Phase 2 contract. The Phase 2 contract will require the County to submit a draft Report of <br />Examination (ROE) for Ecology's review. Similar to Phase 1, the County will be required to <br />reimburse Ecology for the time it takes them to review the ROE. Ecology's review cost for Phase <br />2 is currently unknown and is heavily dependent on results of the Phase 1 technical <br />memorandum. <br />To assist the County through Phases 1 and 2 of the CRA process, Aspect proposes to complete <br />the following work under this contract authorization: <br />Phase 1.1 Abridged Technical Memorandum ($6,500): <br />During the initial phases of the project Aspect identified an existing hydrogeologic memorandum <br />and ROE that was authored by Ecology in 2015. The existing technical work completed by <br />Ecology was for a large area permit located in the same subbasin as the subject water right <br />application. The draft report of examination addressed key technical issues and concluded that <br />(1) water is available for appropriation (2) the proposed use is beneficial (3) the proposed use is <br />not contrary to the public interest and (4) the proposed use will not cause detriment or injury to <br />existing rights. <br />During the pre-CRA meeting, Aspect asked Ecology if they had reviewed the existing ROE and <br />hydrogeologic memorandum. Ecology stated that they were unfamiliar with the documents and <br />would not review the existing technical work unless they were paid for their time through a CRA <br />contract. <br />Therefore, to promote efficiency and reduce costs Aspect proposes to complete an abridged <br />technical memorandum that largely relies on Ecology's body of existing work. The abridged <br />memorandum will reference Ecology's existing hydrogeologic conceptual model and update <br />project specific information including impairment. <br />Under Phase 1.1 Aspect has budgeted for up to 3 meetings virtual with Ecology and or the <br />County. <br />Phase 1.2 (Optional) Comprehensive Technical Memorandum ($15,000): <br />
