KrTiFrlras (c(ortilrrY <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />review the technical memorandum. Ecology has currently provided a Phase I review budget of <br />$12,825 r,rrhich includes 190 hours of Hcology's tirne. <br />If no fatal flaws are identified in the Phase I technical memorandum, thcn Ecology will issue a <br />Phase 2 contract. The Phase 2 contract will require the County to submit a dratl Report of <br />Examination (ROE) fbr Ecology's revierv. Similar to Phase l, the County will be required to <br />reimburse Ecology for the time it takes thsm lo revierv the ROE. Ecology's review cost for Phase <br />2 is currently unknorvn and is heavily dependent on results ofthe Phase I technical <br />memorandum. <br />To assist the County through Phases I and2 of the CRA process, Aspect proposes to complete <br />the following work under this contract artthorization: <br />Phrrse l.l Abridsed Tec.hnical Mcrltorandunr ($6.500): <br />During the initial phases of the project Aspect identified an existing hydrogeologic memorandum <br />and ROE that rvas authored by Ecology in 2015. fhe existing technical work completed by <br />Ecology lvas for a large area permit located in the same subbasin as the subject water right <br />application. The draft report of examination addressed key technicalissrtcs and concluded that <br />(1) u,ater is available for appropriation (2) the proposed use is beneficial (3) the proposed use is <br />not contrary to the public intercst and (4) thc 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 />hydlogeologic rnemorandum. Ecology stated that they were unlamiliar with the documents and <br />would not rcview tlre existing technical rvork unless they were paid for their time through a CRA <br />contra<.:1. <br />'fherefore, to promote effioiency and leduce costs Aspect proposes to complete an abridged <br />technical memorandurn that largely relies on Ecology's body of existing lvork. The abridged <br />memorandum will ref'erence Ecology's existing hydrogeologic conceptual model and update <br />project specific inforrnation including impairment. <br />tJnder Phase 1.1 Aspect has budgeted for up to 3 mcetings virtual ivith Ecology and or the <br />County. <br />Phasc 1.2 (Orrtional) Comprehensive Techni
