EXHIBIT ONE INDIAN RIVER COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES NORTH WATER TREATMENT FACILITY PERMITTING AND INSTALLATION OF THREE NEW PRODUCTION WELLS SCOPE OF SERVICES I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Indian River County (IRC) has an application pending with the Saint Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) to modify Consumptive Use Permit No. 10524 to withdraw 14.23 million gallons per day (MGD) of groundwater for public supply use from their Hobart Park (North) and Oslo (South) Water Treatment Plants (WTP) and install three additional production wells at the North WTP. In order to reduce local drawdown impacts and provide sufficient production capacity if needed for future growth, IRC is now proposing to add three additional production wells at the North WTP for a total of six new production wells with no increase in the proposed withdrawal quantities. . PBS&J will provide services to amend the pending CUP application to include the three new production wells, and services needed to complete the installation of the production wells including design, bidding assistance, construction administration and oversight, and reporting. 11. SCOPE OF SERVICES The specific services and tasks to be provided by PBS&J are described as follows: Task 1 — Consumptive Use Permit Modification Application Task 1 . 1 — Withdrawal Impact Analysis The IRC groundwater flow and fate and transport model (the "model") previously constructed by PBS&J in March 2007 , will be used as is, but updated by adding the three new supply wells at the North Wellfield in order to evaluate the impacts from redistributing the proposed withdrawal quantity among the three existing and six new production wells. PBS&J will also run the model, analyzing the six new northern wells at full capacity. The updated model will be used to develop recommended withdrawal quantities and locations for the three new supply wells for minimizing impacts, as needed. The model will also be used to determine the effect of converting the standby well at the South Wellfield to a production well . As part of this task, PBS&J will identify additional well sites near the existing North Wellfield that are on County property, do not conflict with future plans from other County departments and have been evaluated for minimal environmental impacts (such as gopher tortoises and scrub jays .) The environmental impacts will require site visits by PBS&J enwonmental staff. These additional sites will be used within the model and if adverse impacts are determined, additional well sites will be identified . For the purposes of this task, it is assumed that up to five sites will be identified for use within the model . The existing Technical Memorandum prepared by PBS&J in March 2007 will be revised and updated to address evaluation of potential impacts on other existing users, off-site land uses, water resources, or environmental features from redistributing the proposed groundwater withdrawal quantity among the six new North wellfield production wells.
