STATEMENT OF WORK
City of Boynton Beach - Aquifer Storage and Recovery Well No.2 (ASR-2)
BriefProiect Description:
The project involves construction of an additional Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) well at
the City's East Water Treatment Plant site on Woolbright Road in Boynton Beach. The City
already operates an ASR well at the same site and that well has the capability of storing 230
million gallons a year of treated drinking water.
The City's second ASR well, which is the project described in this application, consists of two
casings to be installed. A 34-inch outside diameter steel surface casing to approximately 400 feet
and a final 24-inch outside diameter fiberglass FRP casing to approximately 800 feet. Upon
completion, the well will be capped. The total depth of the well is anticipated to be at 900 feet.
This well will be operated in the same fashion as the existing ASR well.
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 wellfields. The permit allows the City to
withdraw groundwater from the surficial aquifer at an average rate of 14.6 million gallons per
day (mgd), with maximum withdrawals peaking at a rate of20A mgd. The East WTP treats
groundwater from the East Well field 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
Intracoastal Waterway. The East WTP has a capacity to treat more than 19 mgd, but pumping in
the East Well field is restricted to only 5 mgd to prevent saltwater intrusion.
In 1994, the City constructed their first ASR well at the east WTP to meet drinking water needs
during periods of high demands, including drought conditions. The ASR well has proved to be a
valuable resource to balance water demand and supply. The well stores up to 230 million gallons
of treated drinking water on an annual basis during periods of low demand and high water
availability. Currently, the City is recovering up to 2MGD during periods of high demands. This
operation enables the City to reduce groundwater pumpage from the East wellfield which in turn
reduces the potential for increased salt water intrusion.
The decision to construct additional ASR capacity at the East Water Treatment Plant is driven by
the City's desire to further protect the surficial East Wellfield from salt water intrusion by
reducing pumpage from the well field during periods of high demand and/or draught conditions.
Wellfields located in the extreme eastern portion of Palm Beach County are susceptible to salt
water intrusion when the water table is lowered through high demand and high rate pumping or
through natural conditions such as draught. Salt water intrusion into the East Well field could
potentially lower the quality of water produced from the wells to the point that the existing lime
softening treatment at the East Water Treatment Plant would no longer be adequate to treat the
Exhibit "A" to Agreement No. DG061149, Page 10f2
water. Should this happen, the East Wellfield would potentially have to be abandoned or the
East Water Treatment Plant would have to be converted to membrane treatment processes, both
of which would result in a significant financial output from the City. While the City may
ultimately go to membrane treatment at the East Water Treatment Plant in the future, converting
the plant would be very expensive. Should the City eventually convert the East Water Treatment
Plant to membrane treatment, the ASR wells could potentially be converted to Floridan Aquifer
supply wells, thus, eliminating or significantly reducing the City's dependency on the Surficial
Aquifer for water supply.
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.

The City is currently dependent upon surficial water to supply its 33,466 water accounts. The City's
service area basically covers the geographic area from Hypoluxo Road south to the L-30 Canal and
from the E-3 Canal east to the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, the City maintains system
interconnections with the Village of Golf, Delray Beach, Lantana, and Palm Beach County to
provide or receive potable water during periods of emergency. Potable water is supplied to Boynton
Beach through two wellfields. The City's western wellfield is located west of 1-95 and supplies water
to the West Water Treatment Plant (WWTP). The City's Eastern Wellfield is located primarily east
of 1-95 along Woolbright Road. The East Wellfield consists of 20 wells with the center of pumping
activities located less than one-mile from the Intracoastal Water Way. The City has currently
restricted the use of its East Wellfield; temporarily discontinuing use of 9 of the eastern wells due to
salt water intrusion. In addition, the capacity of the East Wellfield has been reduced through the
consumptive use permit issued by SFWMD to 5 million gallons per day.
The City is currently observing declining groundwater elevations and has for the past several
months observed increasing chloride concentrations in the East Wellfield monitoring well network.
Based on the City's projected water needs and the limitations of the East Wellfield, it has become
apparent that supplemental water resources are needed. In 1992, the City started their first ASR
well project at the East WTP facility and it became fully operational in 1994. The well has been fully
integrated into the water supply system since 1994 and has proved to be a valuable resource to
balance water demand with water supply. The well currently stores approximately 230million
gallons of treated drinking water on an annual basis. Two million gallons per day (MGD) can be
recovered when required to help off-set the reduced pumping at the East Wellfield.

With the success of the existing ASR system, it is the City's is currently constructing an additional
ASR well at the East Water Treatment Plant. In this manner, groundwater that would be lost to
regional flow can be captured and stored during the wet season and recovered during dry periods
or to reduce peak flow pumpage. We believe this system will reduce demand on the surlicial aquifer
and reduce or eliminate the effects of salt water intrusion that we are currently observing.
In addition, the City is currently planning the conversion of the East Water Treatment Plant facility
from lime softening to a 20 MGD finished water low pressure reverse osmosis WTP facility, as part
of the 2009 East WTP build out plan. When the conversion occurs, the ASR wells currently being
installed could be converted to Floridan Aquifer supply wells at little additional cost.
In summary, we believe the City is unable to meet the projected demand growth relying exclusively
on surficial aquifer water. In order to reduce dry period pumpage from the surficial aquifer, the City
of Boynton Beach proposes to install the second additional ASR well at the East Water Treatment
Plant. The addition of thisASR well will provide the following benefits:
· Capture additional groundwater flow during the wet season that would be lost to regional
groundwater flow.
· Reduce peak pumpage rates from the surficial aquifer during periods of peak demand.
· Reduce potential for saltwater intrusion by maintaining groundwater elevations.
· Provide emergency storage.
When the City converts the East Water Treatment Plant to low pressure reverse osmosis treatment
(ultimate completion in 2012) and the new ASR well will be convertible (if needed) to a Floridan
Aquifer supply well. Additionally, the following benefits are also experienced:
· The potential for surface-initiated contamination is lower for the Floridan Aquifer.
· Eliminates the concern over saltwater intrusion in the existing surficial aquifer wells and
surrounding areas.
· Development of the Floridan Aquifer complies with the SFWMD statement that ''The
Floridan Aquifer appears to be a promising source for additional potable water...",
Construction of the second ASR well provides many benefits to the utility, to the City's customers,'
and is fully consistent with the SFWMD's mission, responsibilities, and goals. Construction of the
second Floridan Aquifer ASR well follows the SFWMD's own comments regarding the 2000 Lower
East Coast Water Supply Plan: liThe Floridan Aquifer appears to be a promising source for
additional water needs". This project is also consistent with the City of Boynton Beach's
Comprehensive Plan.
On behalf of the City, CH2M HILL has provided engineering services for the design, permitting, bid
and award phase services, and are currently providing services during construction for the ASR No.

Project Background and Supporting Information
Please clearly and briefly answer the following questions and provide supporting
information.
1. Project Background: Please describe the reason the project is being
undertaken, and what activities, projects or studies were completed indicating the
need for this proj ect.
Reason For This Pro feet:
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 well fields. The permit allows the City to withdraw groundwater from the
surficial aquifer at an average rate of 14.6 million gallons per day (mgd), with
maximum withdrawals peaking at a rate of 20.4 mgd. The East WTP treats
groundwater from the East Wellfield using lime softening, sedimentation, filtration,
and chlorination. The West WTP provides filtration,. membrane treatment,
degasi{ication, 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 Intracoastal Waterway. The East WTP has a capacity
to treat more than 19 mgd, but pumping in the East Wellfield is restricted to only
5 mgd to prevent saltwater intrusion.
In 1994, the City constructed their first ASR well at the East WTP to meet drinking
water needs during periods of high demands, including drought conditions. The
ASR well has proved to be a valuable resource to balance water demand and supply.
The well stores up to 230 million gallons of treated drinking water on an annual
basis during periods of low demand and high water availability. Currently, the City
is recovering up to 2 mgd during periods of high demands. This operation enables
the City to reduce groundwater pumpage from the East Wellfield, which in turn
reduces the potential for increased salt water intrusion.
The decision to construct additional ASR capacity at the East WTP is driven by the
City's desire to further protect the surficial East Wellfield from salt water intrusion
by reducing pumpage from the well field during periods of high demand and / or
drought conditions. Wellfields located in the extreme eastern portion of Palm Beach
County are susceptible to salt water intrusion when the water table is lowered
through high demand and high rate pumping or through natural conditions, such as

drought. Salt water intrusion into the East Wellfield could potentially lower the
quality of water produced from the wells to the point that the existing lime softening
treatment at the East WTP would no longer be adequate to treat the water. Should
this happen, the East Wellfield would potentially have to be abandoned or the East
WTP would have to be converted to membrane treatment processes, both of which
would result in a significant financial output from the City. While the City may
ultimately go to membrane treatment at the East WTP in the future, converting the
plant would be very expensive. Should the City eventually convert the East WTP to
membrane treatment, the ASR wells could potentially be converted to Floridan
Aquifer supply wells, thus eliminating or significantly reducing the City's
dependency on the surficial aquifer for water supply.

This project is consistent with the 2000 Lower East Coast (LEC) Water Supply Plan
recommendation number 46, titled "Water Supply Development" page 328, which
supports the implementation of the project proposed under this application. Page 328
includes the following statement:
"The recommendation of this plan is that individual water users evaluate alternative
water supply sources and select the alternative, or combination of alternatives, which
best suits local conditions."

The proposed project under this application includes the evaluation, development,
and optimization I augmentation of alternative water supply from the Floridan
Aquifer System (FAS). This project involves construction of one additional ASR well
at the City's East WTP site. The ASR well construction consists of two casings to be
installed. A 34-inch outside diameter steel surface casing to approximately 400 feet
and a final 24-inch outside diameter FRP casing to approximately 800 feet. Upon
completion, the well will be outfitted with wellhead piping, pumps, welllwuse and
instrumentation. The total depth of the well is anticipated to be at 900 feet.
Consequently, the proposed project supports the LEC Water Supply Plan
recommendation number 46.
This project also meets the LEC Water Supply Plan requirements as discussed in the
2000 LEC Water Supply Plan, Chapter 5, where the plan "describes a number of
water source options that can form a basis for water supply development projects. These
options are available to water users to help meet their existing and future water supply
needs." Specifically, Chapter 5, page 263, Treated Water ASR which includes the
following statement:
"Treated water ASR involves using potable water as injection water. Since potable water
meets the drinking water standards, this type of ASR application is more easily
permitted. There are many examples in Florida, including several in the LEe Planning
Area, of utilities using treated water ASR. These include the city of Boynton Beach ASR
facility which has been in successful operation for approximately 12 years."
Additionally, this project is consistent with the 2000 LEG Water Supply Plan
recommendation number 2, titled <<Floridan Aquifer System Ground Water Model"
page 274, which supports the implementation of the project proposed under this
application. Page 274 includes the following statements:
"This recommendation is to refine the existing FAS ground water :now model using data
collected from the construction of ASR .projects associated with CERP, as well as
individual utilities with deep well injection facilities. This data would be used to reduce
data gaps, support the development and calibration of the proposed model, and evaluate
competing uses of the FAS as a water supply source."
This project supports the District goal of obtaining data to support the development
and calibration of a ground water model of the FAS. To that end, the City of Boynton
Beach has arranged collaborative meetings with the District and FDEP at the
beginning of the project to discuss the collection of data that will mutually benefit the
interests of each of the agencies with respect to the operation of the Boynton Beach
ASR system. Regular discussions have continued between field staff (overseeing the
construction of the second ASR and F AS wells test) and the aforementioned agencies,
ensuring that data collection needs are supported throughout the project.

In addition to the 2000 LEC Water Supply Plan, this project is also consistent with
the City of Boynton Beach adopted Comprehensive Plan. The construction of this
project will assist the City in achieving Objective 3C.3 Water Conseroation, which
reads:
"The City of Boynton Beach will continue to consider options to implement water
conservation such as rate structures, aquifer storage and recovery, education and reuse."
7. Please address each of the factors as provided in Section 373.1961, Florida
Statutes:
a. How does the project provide substantial environmental benefits by
preventing or limiting adverse water resource impacts?
This project will provide substantial environmental benefits by augmenting
and optimizing a portion of the City's use of the surficial aquifer with the use
of an ASR well in the FAS as an alternative water supply. The City's East
Wellfield has 20 surficial aquifer wells that have the capability to produce
19 mgd of very high quality raw water. However, this well field is highly
susceptible to saltwater intrusion, during the dry season, because of its
proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. By utilizing an additional ASR well this
project will reduce the impact on the surficial aquifer, the Everglades, and
the threat of saltwater intrusion. Specific benefits include:
· Reduced pumpingfrom the East Wellfield during high demand and/or drought
periods will reduce the possibility oj salt water intrusion into the wellfield.
· Storage of large volumes of treated water during the rainy season reduce the need for
well field expansions to meet peak demands.
· Groundwater that would otherwise be lost to regional groundwater flow will be
captured, treated, and stored to meet peak demands and reduce pumpage from the
East Wellfield during high demand and/or draught conditions.
· Recovery oj stored water will allow operation oj the East WTP to be "flatlined" even
during peak demand periods.
b. How does the project reduce competition for water supplies?
This project reduces the competition for water supplies from a currently
limited, coastal area surficial aquifer by optimizing a portion of the City's use
of the surficial aquifer with the use ofanASR well in the FAS as an
alternative water supply.
c. Does the project bring about replacement of traditional sources in order to
help implement a minimum flow or level or a reservation? Identify the

traditional source being replaced and any minimum flow or level or
reservation the altemative source is helping to implement. Explain.
This project brings about replacement of portions of the City's use of the
traditional surficial aquifer by utilizing the F AS. As a result, the use of an
alternative water source supports the implementation of the surficial aquifer
and the Everglades minimum flow or level by reducing the needs for regional
surface water deliveries. The project further maximizes a traditional source
(the surficial aquifer) during the rainy season so that the same source will be
used on a minimal basis during the dry season. Thus, preventing overuse of
the resource during the dry season and protecting against salt water
intrusion and degradation of the surficial aquifer.
d. Is the project going to be implemented by a consumptive use permittee
that has achieved the targets contained in a goal-based water conservation
program approved pursuant to s. 373.227 Describe.
Yes, the City has implemented several water conservation programs that have
greatly contributed to reduction of per capita water use. The.water
conservation programs are as follows:
. Irrigation ordinance
. Xeriscape
. Low Flow Plumbing
· Conservation Based Rate Structure
· Unaccounted for Water Detection Program
· Sprinkler System Rain Sensors
. Public Education Program
. Potable Water Interconnects
· WTP Filter Backwash Recycling System (at the East WTP)
· Reclaimed Water Program (to be implemented in October 2005)
e. Describe the quantity of water supplied by the project as compared to its
cost. Provide a calculation showing the average annual daily quantity of
water supplied by the project divided by the cost of the project.
The quantity of water to be supplied from the FAS ASR well at project
completion, which includes the construction and operation of one additional
ASR well in the FAS, is 5.5 mgd (average annual day over 5 months). Supply
will be from two ASR wells. Estimated project construction costs as outlined
is $3.323M (i.e., equivalent to $0.60/ gal). Based on a life expectancy of at
least 20 years for the wells, the annualized costs are estimated to be $.03/ gal.

f. Is the construction and delivery to end users of reuse water a major
component?
This project does not include delivery to end users of reuse water.
g. Is the project going to be implemented by a multi jurisdictional water
supply entity or regional water supply authority? Show documentation
creating the entity.
This project will be implemented by the City of Boynton Beach. There are no
multijurisdictonal entities involved as of today.
h. Is the project part of a plan to implement two or more alternative water
supply projects, all of which will be operated to produce water at a uniform
rate for the participants in a multi jurisdictional water supply entity or
regional water supply authority? Describe.
This project is part of a plan to implement two alternative water supply
projects, all of which will be operated to produce at an uniform rate for the
City of Boynton Beach customers.
In addition to ASR-2, the City is planning on developing an FAS wellfield
located further west (west of 1-95 parallel to Congress Avenue). This proposed
wellfield will withdraw approximately 26 mgd of brackish groundwater
pumped via new raw water piping to a new RO treatment plant located on
the East WTP. The first phase of this project is the construction of two test
sites located at the northern and southern extremes of the well field to
determine aquifer properties so that detailed design for the wellfield and RO
plant may be completed. (This project is currently in construction.)
i. Identify the percentage of project costs to be funded by the water supplier
or water user.
The City of Boynton Beach will fund 100 percent of their portion under this
grant application guidelines. The City's funds are already allocated through
an existing bond program and identified in the City's Capital Improvements
Program.
j. Provide sufficient information to demonstrate that the project or phase can
be completed on or before August 1, 2006.
