(CONSULTANT), dated April 17, 2018, hereafter referred to as the Agreement. PROJECT BACKGROUND The OWNER owns and operates two Water Treatment Plants [WTPs], the South County WTP and North County WTP. The South County WTP withdraws groundwater from seven existing Upper Floridan Aquifer (UFA) production wells, while the North County WTP relies on groundwater from nine existing UFA production wells. OWNERS's existing Consumptive Use Permit (CUP) (10524) currently allows for a total combined groundwater withdrawal allocation of 12.838 million gallons per day [mgd], with 6.438 mgd from the North County wellfield and 6.40 mgd from the South County wellfield. The current CUP expires on October 11, 2031. OWNER has experienced an increase in demand due to population growth and domestic self -supply users switching over to OWNER's water supply. OWNER began a draft application requesting modification of the existing CUP to the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) in 2016. Groundwater modeling was performed to determine if there would be impacts on the water resources, environment, or other permitted users due to the anticipated increases in OWNER withdrawals from the UFA. CONSULTANT used a modified version of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) East Coast Floridan Aquifer Model (ECFM) to perform the impact analysis for the UFA. Since the ECFM did not include the Surficial Aquifer System (SAS), the SJRWMD Coupled Aquifer [COUAQ] model was used to determine the drawdown in the Surficial Aquifer System (SAS) due to increased pumping and groundwater level drawdown in the UFA. The groundwater modeling results and analysis were summarized in a report that along with the model input and output files were submitted to the SJRWMD in support of the draft CUP application. SJRWMD staff previously approved the model as the best tool available for UFA uses in the area and the results of the modeling and impact evaluations. Due to the resurgence of development, the OWNER must now modify the permit to account for the new and future demand projections. Based on actual groundwater withdrawals and an approximate 2 percent increase in demands over time (including an expanded service area), the 2050 demand was calculated to be 23.18 mgd. This is an increase from the existing EOP withdrawal of 12.838 mgd, which was used in the draft 2016 CUP application and the associated groundwater modeling and impact analysis. Additional modeling simulations are therefore necessary to determine whether the new CDM Smith Page 1 of 4 ii2688_ExhibltA.ao.x demand of 23.18 mgd will cause any adverse impacts to water resources, environmental resources, and other legal users. After the CONSULTANT received notice -to -proceed for WO No. 5 and the project kickoff meeting was held with the OWNER, the OWNER requested that additional modeling simulations be conducted to determine the withdrawal flow split between the north and south wellfields. Also, the OWNER requested approval from the SJRWMD to use the existing groundwater models developed by the CONSULTANT in 2016 for the 2020 CUP modification. On January 13, 2020, SJRWMD provided approval for the use of the model but requested that a revised/updated groundwater modeling plan be submitted to the District for review and approval. These items were not included in WO No.5. This Amendment has been developed to provide the additional groundwater modeling services requested by the OWNER. SCOPE OF WORK The following is a description of the work to be provided under this Amendment. TASK 1- ADDITIONAL GROUNDWATER MODELING SIMULATIONS The CONSULTANT will perform two additional groundwater model simulations with the modified ECFM for the increased UFA allocation to determine the flow split between the north and south county WTP wellfields for the proposed 2050 EOP withdrawal. The CONSULTANT will also perform a third additional groundwater model simulation requested by SJRWMD referred to as "pumps off", which will be used for the cumulative pumping impact scenario as described below. The modified ECFM model was used during previous permit modification attempt in 2016 and has been approved by SJRWMD for use in support of the current CUP modification. The two (2) groundwater modeling simulations will be performed using the End -of -Permit (EOP) withdrawals for all permitted users and IRCU wells pumping at the requested allocation increase of 23.18 mgd. A detailed description of these two simulations are listed below: 1. Simulation 4 (SIM4) — Existing and proposed IRCU Hobart Park WTP wells will be pumped at 23.18 mgd and other legal user wells within the model domain pumping at their current EOP withdrawal rate, except for the agricultural use wells whose EOP allocations will be adjusted to 5 in 10 -year factors provided by SJRWMD. The CONSULTANT has received a GIS shapefile from SJRWMD containing EOP withdrawals for all permitted users within the model domain. 2. Simulation 5 (SIMS) — Existing and proposed IRCU South County WTP wells will be pumped at 23.18 mgd and other legal user wells within the model domain pumping at their current EOP withdrawal rate, except for the agricultural use wells whose EOP allocations will be adjusted to 5 in 10 -year factors provided by SJRWMD. 3. Simulation 6 (SIM6) — All Existing Legal User withdrawals in the model domain are set to zero ("pumps off"). Simulated groundwater elevations from the cumulative EOP withdrawals for all Existing Legal Users in the model domain are subtracted from the simulated groundwater elevations from the "pumps off" simulation to calculate cumulative groundwater level drawdown. Smith Page 2 of 4 ;;2688_Exhlblt Adocx Simulations 4 and 5 will be used by the CONSULTANT and OWNER in determining the groundwater level drawdown due to the total proposed IRCU EOP withdrawal (23.18 mgd) occurring from each wellfield. Since the relationship between pumping rate and groundwater level drawdown is linear in confined aquifers, the maximum pumping rate can be determined for each wellfield that will not impact other existing legal users of the UFA. Simulation 6 will be used as the baseline condition for determining cumulative drawdown. The deliverable for this task will be maps showing the cone of depression (groundwater level drawdown) for each wellfield pumping scenario and contours of cumulative groundwater level drawdown due to pumping. The results of these Simulations 4 and 5 are for internal purposes only and will not be submitted to SJRWMD in the groundwater modeling and impact evaluation TM and/or described in the revised groundwater modeling plan. The results of Simulation 6 will be submitted to SJRWMD in the groundwater modeling and impact evaluation TM and described in the revised groundwater modeling plan. TASK 2 - PREPARATION OF REVISED GROUNDWATER MODELING PLAN The CONSULTANT will modify/update the existing groundwater modeling plan developed and approved by SJRWMD in 2016 to describe the three simulations listed in WO No. 5 and the methodology and data to adjust the agricultural pumping from legal users in the model domain. The draft modeling plan will be submitted to the OWNER for review and comment. The CONSULTANT will incorporate comments provided by the OWNER into the plan and send the final plan to SJRWMD for review and approval before starting the model simulations. TASK 3 - PROJECT AND QUALITY MANAGEMENT Activities performed under this task consist of those general functions required to maintain the project on schedule, within budget, and that the quality of the work products defined within this Work Order is consistent with CONSULTANT's standards and the OWNER's requirements. Specific activities included are identified below: Subtask 3.1 - Project Quality Management CONSULTANT maintains a Quality Management System (QMS) on all projects. In accordance with the QMS, a project planning and scope review meeting will be conducted at the start of the project.
