re: Iowa City Landfill and Recycling Center Site Assessment Project
July 12
Introduction:
The Iowa City Landfill and Recycling Center is required to submit a water quality report
to the Iowa DNR that summarizes the groundwater monitoring program each year. With
the submittal of the 2010 annual report, a notification to Iowa DNR that the groundwater
monitoring system had identified one or more exceptions to the allowable groundwater
protection standards was included. With that notification, a series of characterization,
assessment and corrective actions are now required. This project includes the
assessment, bid documents .and report preparation of these actions.
History /Background:
The landfill site was originally acquired in 1971. The technology used for landfill cell
construction up until 1991 did not include an impervious liner or leachate collection
system. In the 1980's groundwater monitoring at the landfill site indicated that remedial
action was necessary to contain the leachate from the oldest landfill cells near the
northeast corner of the site. To address this, a series of projects were constructed from
1985 through 1996 designed to cut off groundwater a collect leachate from this area.
Since then we have continually monitored the groundwater in this area and made annual
reports to the Iowa DNR documenting the effectiveness of these projects. With the
passage of new and more stringent groundwater rules in 2008, it appears that additional
action will be necessary in this area.
Discussion of Solution:
An investigation of possible solutions to the problem is necessary.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the design contract with HR Green Company at the July
12th Council Meeting.

CONSULTANT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 12th day of July, 2011 ,
by and between the City of Iowa City, a municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as the CITY
and HR Green, Inc., of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, hereinafter referred to as the CONSULTANT.
WHEREAS, the City of Iowa City desires to secure the services of an engineering consulting firm to
provide assistance in the "Assessment of Corrective Measures" and other related tasks as prompted
by the results of ongoing environmental monitoring required under the Iowa Administrative Code
(IAC) 567, Chapter 113.10.
NOW THEREFORE, it is agreed by and between the parties hereto that the CITY does now contract
with the CONSULTANT to provide services as set forth herein.
I. SCOPE OF SERVICES
Under [567] IAC 113.10(6 -7), additional site characterization and assessment of corrective
measures were formally triggered for the Iowa City Landfill and Recycling Center upon submittal
of the 2010 Annual Water Quality Report on May 27, 2011. This report provided notification to
the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) that the groundwater monitoring system at
the landfill has identified one or more Appendix II constituents at concentrations whose statistical
confidence interval exceeded a groundwater protection standard (GWPS). With that
notification, the following series of events are required under the rules:
• Within 90 days of notification (by August 25, 2011)
o Characterize the nature and extent of the release (horizontally and vertically).
• Notify adjacent land owners if any part of the plume of contamination has migrated
off site.
• Initiate an assessment of corrective measures as required by subrule 113.10(7).
• Within 180 days of notification (by November 23, 2011)
o Assessment of Corrective Measures report is due to the IDNR
• Within 60 days of IDNR approval of the Assessment of Corrective Measures Report
o Public meeting to discuss assessment with adjacent land owners and interested
parties prior to selection of a remedy.
CONSULTANT agrees to perform the following services for the CITY, and to do so in a timely and
satisfactory manner.
1. SITE CHARACTERIZATION
A significant amount of site characterization has previously been completed and will be useful
toward this effort. However, additional investigation is needed to complete the characterization
and better estimate the horizontal and vertical dimensions of groundwater impacts as required
under [567] IAC 113.10 (6) "g ". This additional investigation will also provide support for certain
aspects of the assessment of corrective measures. In summary, this additional characterization
includes the following tasks:
\\HRGCRNAS\DATA\10100043.1 1 \DES IGMCONTRACT\CORRECTIVE MEASURES\AGT- 062711- IC_ACM.DOC Page 1 of 6
• Review historical (1995 -2007) and recent groundwater monitoring data and use this
information to assess data characterization needs.
• Recommend new assessment well locations near the property line and down - gradient of
existing wells in which contaminants were detected at statistically significant levels above
the GWPS. Perform in -situ well testing and prepare IDNR well construction forms for
new wells.
• Recommend deep monitoring wells (within Sand Unit B and the bedrock) for collection
and analytical analysis of groundwater samples.
• Integrate recent groundwater analytical results from the northeast portion of the site with
the results of a previous geoprobe study.
• Recommend gas extraction wells (within the waste) and manholes (from the toe drain)
for collection and analytical analysis of leachate samples.
• Recommend groundwater underdrains for collection and analytical analysis of
groundwater samples.
CONSULTANT will provide support to the CITY in the siting and construction of up to six new
monitoring wells. Assistance will include a recommendation and proposed coordinates for the
well locations, generate for the CITY's use a request for drilling quote, quote review, field
geologist for up to 24 hours effort to review the staked well locations and /or observe drilling,
DNR construction /documentation forms, and in -situ aquifer (slug) testing and analysis.
CONSULTANT will also support the CITY in the sampling and analysis of leachate and
groundwater. This support will include recommendations for specific wells, manholes and
underdrains to be sampled. A list of chemical parameters to be analyzed will be provided.
The CITY will obtain the drilling contractor quote, coordinate the drilling, stake the well sites,
survey as -built coordinates and elevations, and negotiate and secure offsite access, if needed.
CITY will be responsible for all surveying, sampling, and analytical services.
2. ASSESSMENT OF CORRECTIVE MEASURES REPORT
CONSULTANT will incorporate water quality, geoprobe, and current assessment monitoring and
leachate testing results into the assessment of corrective measures. A report will be generated
that summarizes the characterization effort and analysis of the effectiveness of potential
corrective measures in meeting the requirements and objectives of the remedy as described
under subrule 113.10(8), addressing the following:
1) The estimated performance, reliability, ease of implementation, and potential impacts of
appropriate potential remedies, including safety impacts, cross -media impacts, and
control of exposure to any residual contamination.
2) The estimated time required to begin and complete the remedy.
3) The probable costs of remedy implementation.
4) The estimated institutional requirements such as state or local permit requirements or
other environmental or public health requirements that may substantially affect
implementation of the remedy.
CONSULTANT will coordinate a meeting with the CITY to discuss major findings of the site
characterization and to obtain CITY input into the potential focus and subject matter of the
\ \HRGCRNAS\ DATA \10100043.11 \DESIGN \CONTRAC- RCORRECTIVE MEASURES\AGT -062711- IC_ACM.DOC Page 2 of 6
report. As previously discussed with the CITY, potential corrective measures that may be
addressed in the report include, but are not limited to:
• Passive long term monitoring
• Institutional controls
• Closure/ post closure care improvements
• Toe drain improvements
• Waste removal/ consolidation
• Landfill gas extraction
• Leachate collection wells
• Groundwater pump and treat
• Air sparging
The Assessment of Corrective Measures Report will be submitted as a draft to the CITY. Upon
completion of the CITY review, CONSULTANT will incorporate CITY comments and a final copy
of the report will be submitted to the IDNR for regulatory review and approval.
3. PUBLIC MEETING ASSISTANCE
In accordance with [567] IAC 113.10 (7) "d ", a public meeting is required within 60 days of
approval of the Assessment of Corrective Measures Report by the IDNR. CONSULTANT will
provide preparation and technical assistance to the CITY to discuss the results of the report,
prior to the selection of a remedy, in a public meeting with interested and affected parties.
CONSULTANT will prepare a fact sheet for public dissemination which describes the conditions
of the site as it relates to groundwater quality. The CITY will provide notice of public meeting to
owners and occupiers of property adjacent to the permitted boundary of the facility, the IDNR
Main Office, and IDNR Field Office No. 6. The actual schedule of the public meeting is subject
to IDNR approval of the Assessment of Corrective Measures Report.
CONDITIONS
The Assessment of Corrective Measures Report will be submitted to the IDNR for review and
approval. Note that this type of assessment is relatively new in the State and untested under the
current 113.10 rules. Consequently, CONSULTANT's effort and schedule is an estimate which
could vary significantly pending the regulatory review process. The project budget includes a
reasonable effort (up to 40 labor hours) to address regulatory comments and questions that may
arise during the review process. Major issues that could not be reasonably anticipated,
including additional characterization tasks required by IDNR, an extended schedule resulting
from additional characterization required by IDNR, and regulatory delays in review and /or
approval, may require an amendment to this agreement.
This agreement includes the requirements up to and including the public meeting. The activities
that are required to follow the public meeting include the selection of remedy and
implementation. By that time, the nature of those services will be better defined. Accordingly,
activities under Chapter 113.10(8 -9), selection of remedy and implementation, are not
anticipated during 2011 and are not included in this Agreement.
