Scope of Services and Schedule Industry Standards, Training, and PPE WSP has a stringent QA program. To verify that the QA program is conducted uniformly, WSP sampling projects, such as the monitoring project conducted for the City at Morrison Park, have Sampling and Analysis Plans (SAP) and Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPP). Our staff is trained on sample collection and handling requirements, clean sampling techniques, and sample documentation procedures Our staff wear clean, powder -fee nitrile gloves for sample collection and follow the instructions in the SAP/QAPP to collect defensible data and achieve the goals of the sampling project. Certified Laboratory Eurofins Environment Testing America (Eurofins) of Tustin will be used as WSP's contracted analytical laboratory. Eurofins is a global leader in environmental testing and is located close to the City. Pollutant Load Analysis/Deliverables for Water Quality Samples City monitoring projects may be completed for various reasons. WSP has completed monitoring projects at industrial/commercial for enforcement purposes. In these cases, staff quickly respond to incidents and samples are collected based on anticipated pollutants. Deliverables may include a summary of the sampling program, chain -of -custody, and laboratory report. These files may be used for future enforcement cases. In most cases, City monitoring projects are completed for BMP improvement projects to document pollutant load reductions. These projects have an SAP that identifies the goals of the monitoring program and defines how the monitoring data will be used. WSP can assist with all aspects of these projects, including calculating the pollutant load reductions, preparing the reports, and documenting BMP performance or any grant requirements. 6.3.5 Future Municipal NPDES Permit(s) Support Future NPDES Permit Review Our staff routinely provides comments on future regulations on behalf of our clients, such as the MS4 permit, CGP, and IGP. Our staff recently provided comments on the Staff Working Proposal to the County. Comments were compiled and submitted to the Tri County Group for the Regional Phase I MS4 Permit. Our staff can assist the City with providing similar review or advise the City on potential permit interpretations and impacts to the City based on our permit reviews. Program Transition and Modifications We have assisted cities with program development at the infancy of many of the MS4 permit programs. Our staff is currently working on program development for the trash provisions program as an example. Because of our extensive 19-year history helping the City, we are uniquely qualified to assist the City with any program transitions and can quickly prepare training programs or implement program modifications to meet the new MS4 permit requirements. Plan Modification including LIP and DAMP WSP has extensive experience updating City LIPS for several Orange County cities. Our in-depth knowledge of the County's MS4 permit, along with our understanding of the City's departmental structure and responsibilities provide the experience and insight necessary to perform an effective and efficient update of the City's LIP. WSP also started the update process for several sections of the LIP, but reallocated efforts to assist the City with other compliance tasks, including the trash provisions, TMDL support, and project management. WSP can complete the LIP update task upon City approval. 6.3.6 TMDL Support WSP is routinely involved with several stakeholder -led groups to further the science of TMDL development in southern California receiving waters. We have worked on TMDLs for a variety of pollutants, including metals, bacteria, nutrients, salts, sediment, dissolved oxygen, pesticides, and pathogens.
