Item # 10.

Work Session and Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:	09/10/2019
Department:	Development Services

AGENDA CAPTION:

Consider Action to Approve a Resolution for an Interlocal Agreement with the Trinity River Authority for the Monitoring of Wastewater for Certain Industrial Uses and Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Agreement in an Amount not to Exceed $9,500.

BACKGROUND:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that uses categorized as Significant Industrial Users (SIU) be monitored at the local level to ensure that they are disposing of wastewater in compliance with Federal regulations. An example of a SIU in Addison is Plastech Corporation at 15606 Wright Brothers Drive. They form plastics into a variety of products, some of which co-mingle pesticides with plastics for products like flea collars. The wastewater generated in the industrial areas of Addison flows to and is treated by the Trinity River Authority (TRA). For this reason, the Town has historically contracted with the TRA to conduct the necessary inspections, sampling and testing of these SIUs.

This annual agreement, provided as an exhibit in the attached resolution, is for a not to exceed amount of $9,500. This is equal to the amount of the Fiscal Year 2019 Interlocal Agreement. There is no budget impact to the Town as the cost of the inspections are charged to the SIUs.

RECOMMENDATION:

Administration recommends approval.
