Box 409 Georgetown, TX 78627-0409 The requirements for solid waste landfills could change drastically as early as September 1989. Some of these changes include: ground water moniter-ing at all landfills; change in closure cap design, and a post - closure monitoring period of 30 years, All of these changes, although potentially environmentally beneficial, would definitely be more costly ta the City. - We are pleased to submit this proposal to provide engineering services related to the official closure of the City of'Georgetown's landfill. This official closure will be conducted in accordance with the Texas Health Department's Municipal Solid Waste Management Regulations. Specifically, to meet these regulationst the City of Georgetown must perform the following: 1.1 Notify the Bureau of Solid Waste Management of intention to close the landfill and file an updated closure plan. 2. File an approved closure plan which shall include the following: a. propesed final contours; b. proposed surface drainage features; and c. proposed protective measures for any area subject to the 100 -year floodplain. .1. An affidavit shall be filed with the county clerk and shall include a legal description of the closed portion of the landfill. 4. A certified copy of the affidavit shall be filed with the Bureau of S61id waste management. In order to accomplish the above listed closure criteria, the following scope of services is proposed. 1. Perform a boundary survey of the filled area to be used as the legal description. 2. Perform a topographic survey of the filled area to be used as the basis for the final grading plan.

The deliverables shall include the boundary -survey and legal descriptions (map and field notes), topographic maps, final grading plan and a technical memorandum. The technical memorandum will include an evaluation of the need for a post -closure monitoring system, and the need for floodplain protective measures, it will also include construction cost estimates for closing the landfill and a list of sludge disposal alternatives. The scope does not include the preparation of contract documents for the construction of the closure, the design of a post -closure monitoring system (if required), nor the design of any protective measures necessary to remove the landfill from the 100 -year floodilain. we propose to complete the above scope for a lump sum of $10,000. The surveyor has also informed me that for an .aa itional'$500 he will prepare a boundary map of the entire 190 acre tract. The preparation of this map and re-establishment of the tract's boundary will gave the City money in the future when the boundary of the water treatment plant, wastewater treatment plant, and other facilities ate subdivided out of the parent trac . we propose to complete the work under the terms and conditions of our existing general services agreement, wherein all that is required for us t* begin is a letter of authorization. We look forward to working with you on this project. If you have any questions or comments, please call. Sincerely, CAMP DRESSER-4-ACKEE INC. Allen D. Woelke, P.E. Project Engineer d. A, Llwa, S.
