CITY ATTORNEY EXHIBIT "A" STATEMENT OF WORK REVISED City of Boynton Beach - Construction of Floridan Aquifer Test Wells Brief Proiect Descriotion: This project is for the installation and development of one (1) Floridan Aquifer 1,400-foot deep, 17 -inch diameter test well and two (2) Floridan Aquifer dual-zone monitoring wells to be used during Aquifer performance testing. It is anticipated that the Floridan Aquifer test well will be capable of producing 2.3 MGD total of raw water as a potential alternative source of supply to the City of Boynton Beach. Reason for this project being undertaken: The City of Boynton Beach (City) operates two surficial aquifer well fields (East and West), and two corresponding water treatment plants (WTPs), to generate its drinking water supply. The South Florida Water Management District (District) issued Water Use Permit (WUP) No. 50-0049-W for groundwater production from these two surficial wellfields. The permit allows the City to withdraw 7844 MG of groundwater on an annual basis with a monthly allocation not to exceed 741.1 MG. The East WTP treats groundwater from the East Wellfield using lime softening, sedimentation, filtration, and chlorination. The West WTP provides filtration, membrane treatment, degasification, and disinfection. The City's East Wellfield contains 20 active wells installed in the surficial aquifer. These wells range in depth from 50 to 175 feet below land surface (bls) and provide high- quality water. However, the East Wellfield is susceptible to saltwater intrusion because of its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The East WTP has a capacity to treat more than 24 mgd, but pumping in the East Wellfield is restricted to only 8 mgd average to prevent saltwater intrusion. Activities, projects or studies that were completed indicating the need for this project: The feasibility of this project has been confirmed by the CH2M HILL August 1999 report Evaluation of Water Supply and Water Treatment Options Aquifer Dependability Study, 2001 and the City of Boynton Beach Planning and Zoning Department Population Projection and Growth Development, 2005.
