Staff Contact: RaNae Edwards Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 3 / 470 Council Agenda Memo From:RaNae Edwards, City Clerk Meeting:March 24, 2020 Subject:Public Hearing on Request from Grand Island Hotel, LLC dba Comfort Suites, 228 Lake Street for a Class “I” Liquor License Presenter(s):RaNae Edwards, City Clerk Background Section 4-2 of the Grand Island City Code declares the intent of the City Council regarding liquor licenses and the sale of alcohol. Declared Legislative Intent It is hereby declared to be the intent and purpose of the city council in adopting and administering the provisions of this chapter: (A)To express the community sentiment that the control of availability of alcoholic liquor to the public in general and to minors in particular promotes the public health, safety, and welfare; (B)To encourage temperance in the consumption of alcoholic liquor by sound and careful control and regulation of the sale and distribution thereof; and (C)To ensure that the number of retail outlets and the manner in which they are operated is such that they can be adequately policed by local law enforcement agencies so that the abuse of alcohol and the occurrence of alcohol-related crimes and offenses is kept to a minimum. Discussion Grand Island Hotel, LLC dba Comfort Suites, 228 Lake Street has submitted an application for a Class “I” Liquor License. A Class “I” Liquor License allows for the sale of alcohol on sale only inside the corporate limits of the city. City Council action is required and forwarded to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission for issuance of all licenses. This application has been reviewed by the Clerk, Building, Fire, Health, and Police Departments. See attached Police Department report. Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 4 / 470 Also submitted was a request for Liquor Manager Designation for Milo Graff, 9909 Hollow Tree Drive, Lincoln, NE. Staff recommends approval of the liquor license contingent upon final inspections and liquor manager designation for Milo Graff contingent upon completing a state approved alcohol server/seller training program. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1.Approve the application. 2.Forward to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission with no recommendation. 3.Forward to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission with recommendations. 4.Deny the application. Recommendation Based on the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission’s criteria for the approval of Liquor Licenses, City Administration recommends that the Council approve this application. Sample Motion Move to approve the application for Grand Island Hotel, LLC dba Comfort Suites, 228 Lake Street for a Class “I” Liquor License contingent upon final inspections and Liquor Manager designation for Milo Graff, 9909 Hollow Tree Drive, Lincoln, NE contingent upon completion of a state approved alcohol server/seller training program. Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 5 / 470 Officer Report for Incident L20030773 Page 4 of 6 03/19/20 Supplement 309 Comfort Suites Grand Island Police Department Supplemental Report Date, Time: 3-16-20 Reporting Officer: Sgt Dvorak 309 Unit #:CID The owners of the new Comfort Suites Motel are applying for a Class I Liquor License. Grand Island Hotel LLC consists of Milo, Georgia and Eric Graff. Milo and Georgia are parents of Eric. When reviewing the application, I noted that Eric Graff resides in Minnesota, while Milo and Georgia reside in Lincoln, NE. In the application, all three Graffs disclosed prior motor vehicle violations, though none were in the past seven (7) years. No felony or misdemeanor convictions were disclosed. I checked Milo, Georgia and Eric Graff through Spillman and NCJIS. I found no Spillman entries, and no record for Eric in Nebraska. None of the Graffs have outstanding warrants for their arrest, and both Milo and Georgia have valid Nebraska drivers licenses. I noted that Milo disclosed a traffic citation in S Sioux City, for speeding, in 2000. I found an entry from Dakota County for speeding in 2004, and no other moving violations on file. I believe that Milo made an error when reporting this citation from roughly 20 years ago, but was simply mistaken, and not trying to mislead with his response. I checked Milo, Georgia and Eric through a paid Law Enforcement only database, which tends to provide mostly personal identifying information and details of any civil issues. No concerns were located. On 3-16-20 Nebraska State Patrol Investigator Jeromy McCoy and I met with Milo and Georgia Graff at the new Comfort Suites location, 228 Lake Street. The motel is still completely under construction, and will hopefully open in June of this year. Milo advised that he has been in the hospitality industry for most of his life. Milo and Georgia have owned eight previous motels over the years, and recently sold their remaining other three motels to concentrate on this new Comfort Suites location. The Graffs advised that they plan to offer a daily "Manager's Reception" to their patrons. No alcohol will be sold on the premesis. Paid guests will provided two complimentary drink tickets daily, to accompany light hors de ovres in the breakfast area. The reception will only be held from 5:30 to 7:00 pm daily. No interior spaces have been completed, so Milo indicated where the breakfast bar would be located, and also advised that the alcohol will be stored in the food prep/cooler area, and will ony be visible to the public during the hours of the reception. When questioned, Milo and Georgia said that while Eric is a part of the LLC, he will have little to no involvement in the day to day operations of the motel, and will not be involved with serving alcohol. Georgia advised that she or Milo will be on site initially, and will personally oversee the Manager's Reception to determine if it is viable. Georgia said she believes that motel guests will appreciate having a complimentary breakfast and light supper on a daily basis, so she believes it will be a success. Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 6 / 470 Officer Report for Incident L20030773 Page 5 of 6 03/19/20 Milo advised that his staff will not allow anyone under age 21 to rent a room, so identification will be checked twice; once at check in and once at point of consumption. The Graffs indicated they initially plan to give paid guests two "drink tickets" each day, though they are not sure exactly how that will be completed. McCoy covered several more topics and questions regardign square footage and storage, and also cautioned the Graffs regarding employee education and the constraints of the Class I license and property concerns. They advised they understood. The Grand Island Police Department has no objection to Milo, Georgia and Eric Graff, DBA as Grand Island Hotel LLC, receiving a Class I liquor license as the new owners of Comfort Suites, and Milo Graff becoming the Liquor Manager.

Staff Contact: Chad Nabity Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 9 / 470 Council Agenda Memo From:Regional Planning Commission Meeting:March 24, 2020 Subject:Concerning proposed amendments to Chapter 36 Landscaping Requirements Section §36-102 Presenter(s):Chad Nabity, AICP Planning Director Background The City of Grand Island and the Grand Island Public Works Department are working on making substantial upgrades to the Old Potash Highway between Webb Road and North Road. As part of this planned upgrade the City will be acquiring additional right of way from the adjoining property owners. Most of this area was developed prior to the adoption of any landscaping requirements within the City. City staff, working with the engineers on the project, is suggesting that the City exempt this area from the landscaping requirements in a manner similar to the exemptions granted to the Central Business District (Downtown/Railside) and the Fourth Street Business District. Discussion The Landscaping Regulations were originally adopted in the mid 1990’s. They have been amended several times since their initial adoption. In the original regulation both the Central Business District (Downtown/Railside) and the Fourth Street Business District were exempted from the regulations. Further amendments were made to exempt Street Improvement Districts (the South Locust and Fonner Park business improvement districts). These regulations were designed from the beginning to foster a minimum landscape standard without causing an undue burden on property owners or city staff. The Grand Island Public Works Department is working on a rebuilding, widening and renovation of Old Potash Highway between Webb Road and North Road. The project is expected to occur over a two year period. The majority of this corridor has been developed along the existing rural section county road. The project to widen the road will increase the width from a 2 or 3 lane section to a 3 to 7 lane section through this corridor with multiple round-a-bouts. The City will be acquiring right of way from numerous property owners to accommodate expanded road corridor. The proposed changes, as attached, address concerns over conflicts with the zoning regulations and requirements for landscaping on commercial properties that are likely to arise due to the need for additional right of way along the Old Potash Highway Corridor, see the attached map Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 10 / 470 for the exact location. In addition they clarify the relationship between Street Improvement Projects that are exempted and approved Business Improvement Districts. 36-102.

(5) If the owner or developer has not installed the required landscaping with the commitments made pursuant to sub-paragraph (a) above, the owner or developer shall be deemed to have granted the City or its officers, employees, agents or representatives permission to enter upon the property to install the required landscaping in accordance with the plan submitted pursuant to sub-paragraph (c) above using the surety or security filed by the owner or developer as payment for said installation. The Building Department shall send the owner or developer written notice of default and intention to enter onto the property to install required landscaping by certified mail, return receipt requested, and ordinary first class mail sent to the last known address of said owner or developer at least five (5) business days prior to making such entry. Amended by Ordinance No. 9256, effective 04-07-2010 Amended by Ordinance No. 9419, effective 02-15-2013 Amended by Ordinance No. 9422, effective 04-02-2013 Amended by Ordinance No. 9738, effective 07-10-2019 Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 14 / 470 From the March 11, 2020 Regional Planning Commission Meeting Minutes: Public Hearing – Grand Island Zoning Code Change – Proposed changes to section 26-102 (B) Proposed changes would clarify language regarding properties that are exempt from the Landscaping Requirements section of the code and add a corridor along Old Potash Highway to the exempted districts. (C-13-2020GI) O’Neill opened the public hearing. Nabity stated the language was changed to clarify exemptions based on business improvement districts created for the purpose of landscaping in Grand Island. The proposed changes would exempt landscaping requirements along the section of the new business improvement district which includes Old Potash Highway District from Webb Road to North Road. The Old Potash Highway project will involve numerous round-a- bouts and will also involve widening Old Potash Highway. There is not room to accommodate landscaping without moving or replacing buildings and that would not be in the best interest of the city. O’Neill closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Hendricksen and second by Ruge to recommend approval of the Grand Island zoning code change to section 26-102 (B). The motion carried with eight members voting in favor (Nelson, O’Neill, Ruge, Monter, Maurer, Rubio, Hendricksen and Randone) and no members voting no. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1.Move to approve 2.Refer the issue to a Committee 3.Postpone the issue to future date 4.Take no action on the issue Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve the proposed changes as presented. Sample Motion Move to approve as recommended.

Capital Avenue (Nebraska Veterans Home Property) Council action will take place under Resolutions item I-1. Staff Contact: Chad Nabity Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 17 / 470 Council Agenda Memo From:Chad Nabity, AICP CRA Director Meeting:March 24, 2020 Subject:Site Specific Redevelopment Plan for CRA Area #16 Presenter(s):Chad Nabity, AICP CRA Director Background This Redevelopment Project is intended provide for the redevelopment of the buildings and property of the Veterans Home Campus in Grand Island, Nebraska. To honor the history and sacrifices of our veterans by preserving historic elements of property. To enhance the partnership between the State and the City regarding this site by facilitating the transfer of this property from the State to the White Lotus Group. To facilitate the transfer it is proposed that the State will give the property to the CRA and the CRA will in turn transfer the property to the White Lotus Group. The State is not permitted to transfer the property directly to White Lotus Group as they are a private company. The State can, however, transfer the property to the CRA and the CRA is authorized under state law to transfer property to a redeveloper. This redevelopment plan does not authorize the use of Tax Increment Financing. The State requested development proposals during the summer of 2019. Several proposals were received and reviewed by representatives from the State and selected members of the Grand Island community. White Lotus Group was selected as the most responsible entity for redevelopment. In accordance with the redevelopment law statutes, the CRA advertised for development proposals for this area prior to their December meeting and received a single proposal from White Lotus Group, the same developer recommended by the State and community representatives. They reviewed this proposed development plan allowing acquisition and transfer of the property on March 2, 2020 and forwarded it to the Hall County Regional Planning Commission for recommendation at their meeting on March 11, 2020. The CRA also sent notification to the City Clerk of their intent to enter into a redevelopment contract for this project pending Council approval of the plan amendment. The Hall County Regional Planning Commission held a public hearing on the plan amendment at a meeting on March 11, 2020. The Planning Commission approved Resolution 2020-05 in support of the proposed amendment, declaring the proposed amendment to be consistent with the Comprehensive Development Plan for the City of Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 18 / 470 Grand Island. The CRA approved Resolution 333 forwarding the redevelopment plan along with the recommendation of the planning commission to the City Council for consideration. Discussion Tonight, Council will hold a public hearing to take testimony on the proposed plan and to enter into the record a copy of the plan that would authorize the CRA to enter into a contract with the State and White Lotus Group to facilitate the transfer of the Veterans Home campus. Council is being asked to approve a resolution approving the redevelopment plan for CRA Area #16 and authorizes the CRA to execute a contract for acquisition and transfer of the Veterans Home property. This plan does not authorize the use of TIF or any other financing by any entity. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1.Move to approve the resolution 2.Refer the issue to a Committee 3.Postpone the issue to future date 4.Take no action on the issue Recommendation The CRA and Hall County Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Council approve the Resolution necessary for the adoption and implementation of this plan. Sample Motion Move to approve the resolution as submitted. Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 19 / 470 Veterans Home Campus Property Transfer Redevelopment Plan Page 1 Grand Island Veteran’s Home Redevelopment Project January 2020 State of Nebraska (State), HELP Foundation of Omaha Inc. (White Lotus), a non- profit corporation affiliated with White Lotus Group of Omaha, Nebraska, the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) and the City of Grand Island, Nebraska (City) intend to complete a transaction providing for the redevelopment of the Grand Island Nebraska Veterans Home property in Grand Island, Nebraska. Executive Summary: The State of Nebraska owned and operated a state Veteran’s Home (Soldiers and Sailors Home) in north central Grand Island between 1888 and 2019. In January of 2019 the resident veterans were relocated to a new facility in Kearney, Nebraska. Following the move to the new facility (during the summer of 2019) the Nebraska Department of Administrative Services (DAS) sought redevelopment proposals for the 48 acre site of containing the buildings and facilities. A committee consisting of DAS employees, Grand Island residents, and community leaders reviewed proposals as submitted and selected White Lotus Group of Omaha partnering with Chief Industries and O’Connor Enterprises as the most responsible applicant and the best team for redevelopment of the site. In June of 2019 the Grand Island City Council declared the Veteran’s Home property included in CRA Area #16 to be Substandard and Blighted in accordance with the Nebraska Community Development Law (Act). In November of 2019 the CRA solicited the general public for redevelopment proposals for a portion of CRA Area #16 including the Veterans Home Campus. One proposal was received, from the White Lotus Group and their partners; in December of 2019 the CRA passed Resolution 328 notifying the Grand Island City Council of the intent of the CRA to enter into a redevelopment contract with the White Lotus Group upon approval of a redevelopment plan and other agreements as needed. In December of 2019 the DAS Vacant Building and Excess Land (VBEL) Committee met and declared the remaining 58 acres of the Veteran’s Home campus to be vacant and excess making it available for acquisition and redevelopment. It is the intent of the City, the State and White Lotus to facilitate the transfer of the Veteran’s Home Property to the White Lotus Group using CRA and powers granted to the CRA and the City under the Act and this redevelopment plan is being proposed for that express purpose. Project Description This Redevelopment Project is intended provide for the redevelopment of the buildings and property of the Veterans Home Campus in Grand Island, Nebraska. To honor the history and sacrifices of our veterans by preserving historic elements of property. To Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 20 / 470 Veterans Home Campus Property Transfer Redevelopment Plan Page 2 enhance the partnership between the State and the City regarding this site by facilitating the transfer of this property from the State to the White Lotus Group. The City has approved a blight study and determined that the Veterans Home Campus is located within a blighted or substandard area (Area 16). This Redevelopment Plan recognizes that the Veterans Home Campus is located within a blighted or substandard area, thereby enabling the City to undertake a redevelopment project pursuant to the Act. The Property transfer is anticipated to occur after April 1, 2020 upon agreement of all parties and following approval of this plan by the City Council and more than 30 days after the execution of a redevelopment contract between White Lotus and the CRA. At that time, the following actions are contemplated: 1. The State shall transfer the property in fee simple by warranty or special deed to the CRA. The State is transferring the property the CRA pursuant to Neb. Rev. Stat. §18-2138. 2. The CRA shall transfer the property in fee simple by warranty or special deed to White Lotus. Such transfer shall be subject to significant covenants requiring White Lotus to redevelop the property. Section 18-2118 of the Act provides that the CRA may transfer real estate at “fair value for uses in accordance with a redevelopment plan. In determining fair value, the CRA is required to: Take into account and give consideration to the uses and purposes required by such plan; the restrictions upon, and the covenants, conditions, and obligations assumed by the redeveloper of such property; the objectives of the redevelopment plan for the prevention of the recurrence of substandard and blighted areas; and such other matters as the authority shall specify as being appropriate. Neb. Rev. Stat. 18-2118 The CRA has reviewed the appraisal provided by the DAS for the property and reviewed the significant costs required to rehabilitate the property pursuant to this Redevelopment Plan. The covenants in the redevelopment contract will require an investment by White Lotus in excess of the value of the property. Therefore, the CRA intends to transfer the property to White Lotus, immediately upon receiving title pursuant to Section 18-2107(4) of the Act empowering the CRA to make “grants……to…private parties in order to accomplish the rehabilitation or redevelopment in accordance with a redevelopment plan”. The CRA will impose covenants on the property but shall not receive financial consideration for the transfer of title to White Lotus. 3. White Lotus shall accept the property in an “as is, where is” condition indemnifying the CRA from any liability the CRA may have incurred during its period of ownership. Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 21 / 470 Veterans Home Campus Property Transfer Redevelopment Plan Page 3 In exchange for the property White Lotus will proceed with the redevelopment of the property as proposed subject to the covenants established in the redevelopment contract. Changes to the redevelopment plan may be approved by the CRA and City Council.

Section 18-2114 of the Act requires that the Authority consider: (a) Method and cost of acquisition and preparation for redevelopment and estimated proceeds from disposal to redevelopers. It is anticipated that the State of Nebraska will grant the property to the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority as an independent political entity in the State of Nebraska.

The CRA has considered these elements in proposing this Redevelopment Plan. This Redevelopment Plan will have no negative impact on the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Grand Island. The improvements contemplated under this Redevelopment Plan will raise property values and provide a stimulus to keep surrounding properties properly maintained and support additional development. The intent of the property Redevelopment Plan is to prevent recurring elements of blighting conditions. .Justification of Project The Grand Island Veteran’s Home has been a major source of community pride since its inception. The loss of the Veteran’s Home has left a number of unanswered questions about this property and how it will be used. This process including the request for development proposals by the State of Nebraska and by the Grand Island CRA is an attempt to provide direction to the redevelopment, provide benefits to the community, along with preserving the historic nature of the facility.

Without getting into issues concerning the City’s and other parties’ liability, and whether the claim of Eakes Office Solutions is fair and reasonable, we are simply providing a copy of this claim to you in compliance with the Nebraska Political Subdivision Tort Claims Act. For a person to assert a tort claim against the City of Grand Island, a written notice of the claim must be filed with the City Clerk, Secretary or other official responsible for keeping official records. The claim must be filed within one year of the accrual of the claim, and the Council has six months to act on the claim. No suit can be filed until after the Council acts on the claim, or the six months has run. Historically, the City of Grand Island has simply let the six months run. Not all claims result in a suit being filed, so it makes good sense to not act affirmatively in many instances. In any event, if you wish to look further into this claim, please contact the City Attorney’s office, and we will provide you with the information which we have in connection with the claim. Our recommendation is to continue to take no affirmative action on tort claims. It must be emphasized that by providing copies of alleged claims to you, we are not making an admission or representation that a claim has been properly filed in any respect. We also recommend that no comments concerning a particular claim be made during Council meetings, unless you decide to bring the matter on for formal consideration. Even then, we ask that comments be carefully considered so that the legal rights of all parties are preserved. Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 67 / 470 Discussion This is not an item for council action other than to simply acknowledge that the claim has been received. Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council take no action other than acknowledge receipt of the claim. Sample Motion Move to approve acknowledgement of the tort Claim filed by Eakes Office Solutions.

Evaluation of Concrete Field Strength: In accordance with ACI 318/318R 5 - 6 Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 210 / 470 SECTION 27 - CONSTRUCTION METHODS 27.01 Excavation. The ditch shall be excavated along the lines and to the depth as designated by the Engineer. The Contractor shall furnish, at Contractor’s expense, all planks, stakes, spikes, grade boards, and twine that may be required. The Engineer shall have the right to limit the amount of trench that may be opened in advance of the line of work. Should the trench be excavated to a greater depth than that given by the Engineer, the Contractor shall refill to grade, at Contractor’s expense, with good, well-tamped material. Trenches, where required, shall be properly sheeted and braced. The bottom of the trench under each pipe shall be shaped to receive the bottom quadrant of the pipe barrel. Bell holes shall be excavated so, after placement, only the barrel of the pipe receives bearing pressure from the trench bottom. Whenever wet or unstable soil that is incapable of properly supporting the pipe, as determined by the Engineer, is encountered in the trench bottom, such soil shall be removed to the depth and length determined by the Engineer and the trench backfilled to grade with sand, gravel, or other suitable material. All grading in the vicinity of trench excavation shall be controlled to prevent surface water from flowing into the trench. Any water accumulating in the trench shall be removed by pumping or other approved method. Material excavated from the trench shall be stacked in an orderly manner a sufficient distance back from the edge of the trench to avoid overloading and to prevent slides or cave-ins. Materials unsuitable for backfilling shall be wasted by the Contractor as directed by the Engineer. A minimum of one foot of topsoil (unless otherwise noted on the plans) shall be removed in any and all areas covered by vegetation. This topsoil shall be stockpiled separately from the material removed from the remainder of the trench. After the pipe is installed and the trench backfilled to an elevation one foot (unless otherwise noted on the plans) below grade, the topsoil shall be replaced and compacted as previously described. Excavation will not be classified. Whatever material is encountered shall be excavated to the proper grades and, if in any location such material is not sufficient to provide a uniform, even bed for the pipe, the trench shall be excavated at least three (3) inches deeper than the grade at the bottom of the pipe and the space thus excavated shall be refilled with earth or sand and thoroughly compacted. Trench excavation shall not be paid for separately but shall be considered incidental to the sewer in place. 27.02 Protection of Existing Utilities. The accuracy of location of existing underground utilities as shown on the plans is not guaranteed. It shall be the duty of the Contractor to locate these utilities in advance of excavation and to protect them from damage after uncovering. No house service lines are shown on the plans. The Contractor shall contact the owners of the utilities for assistance in locating these service lines. Any expense incurred by reason of damaged or broken lines shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. Pipe Laying and Jointing. Pipe shall be protected at all times against impact shocks and free fall. Laying of pipe in finished trenches shall be commenced at the lowest point with the spigot ends on bell-and-spigot pipe and tongue ends on tongue-and-groove pipe pointing in the direction of the flow. Pipe shall be set firmly to line and grade and, preparatory to making pipe joints, all surface of the pipe to be jointed shall be cleaned and dried. Joints shall be made tight to meet requirements of tests specified in the section of these specifications entitled Exfiltration, Infiltration, and Air Testing. 5 - 7 Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 211 / 470 Sewer trenches shall be kept free from water by a method approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall not pump sewage into a street or pump to a storm sewer unless authorized by the Engineer. Sanitary sewage must be returned to the sanitary sewer by means of pipe and hoses unless it is impossible to do so. In that instance, disposal must be approved by the Engineer. 27.04 Manholes. Manholes shall be constructed as indicated on the plans. Tops shall be fitted with cast iron rings and covers weighing approximately 450 pounds and satisfactory to the Engineer. Manholes over three (3) feet in depth shall be equipped with cast iron steps placed on approximately sixteen (16) inch centers. Drop inlet manholes shall be constructed where indicated on the plans. Manholes of Precast sections conforming to ASTM C478 specifications may be used. The three (3) types of manhole construction which have been approved are as follows: • Type 1 – Standard Manhole • Type 2 – Manhole with ConShield • Type 3 – Manhole with ConShield and Epoxy Coating Any substitutes must be approved by the Public Works Director. Revised 1-18-2010 27.05 Storm Sewer Inlets. Storm sewer inlets shall be of the type as shown on the plans and constructed as per the detailed drawings. 27.06 Pipe Bedding. For Class “C” bedding, the space between the pipe and the side of the excavation up to one (1) foot above the top of the pipe shall be filled with sand or fine earth in layers of not more than six (6) inches thick and carefully tamped to form a solid bedding. For Class “B” bedding, the trench shall be backfilled with a granular fill of crushed stone or pea gravel to an elevation which is half the diameter of the pipe, and the remaining distance from half the diameter of the pipe to one (1) foot above top of pipe shall be a tamped backfill as specified for Class “C” bedding. The granular fill shall have not less than 95% passing 1/2” and not less than 95% retained on a #4 sieve, shall be placed in not more than six (6) inch layers and compacted by slicing with a shovel. 27.07 Trench Backfill. The area more than one foot over the top of pipe shall be designated as trench backfill. Trenches shall not be backfilled until all required tests are performed and until the system installed conforms to the requirements of the plans and specifications. The trenches shall then be carefully backfilled up to one foot above the top of the pipe as specified in the section entitled Pipe Bedding. The balance of the excavated material shall be consolidated in the following manner. As backfilling proceeds, the entire mass shall be vibrated with a mechanical vibrator, provided, however, in all locations where plastic soils are encountered, the backfill material shall not be placed until the moisture content is low enough to obtain maximum density when tamped into place with mechanical tampers. Materials for tamped backfill and the method of placement and compaction thereof shall be specified for Class “C” pipe bedding. The completion of the trench backfill under pavement shall be done according to the section of these specifications entitled Backfilling Under Pavement. 5 - 8 Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 212 / 470 Trench backfill and compaction testing shall adhere to the following requirements: A. Public Right-of-Way: Backfill shall be compacted to at least 95% of the maximum dry density (obtained at optimum moisture content plus or minus 2% for silt or clay with no required moisture content for sand) as determined by AASHTO Method T99. The minimum frequency shall be one test for every 12” compacted lift for an area or length worked, but no more than 300’ apart. A minimum of one test shall be taken for every 12” compacted lift for each street crossing regardless of the length. B. Public Utility Easement: Backfill shall be compacted to at least 90% of the maximum dry density (obtained at optimum moisture content plus or minus 2% for silt or clay with no required moisture content for sand) as determined by AASHTO Method T99. The frequency shall be the same as that for public right-of-way. A minimum of one test shall be taken for every 12” lift for each easement crossing, regardless of the length. The Engineer in charge shall be furnished a copy of the density testing results. Information on length or area worked, material identification and description, test thickness such as probe length or sample depth, location of sample, elevation of sample, etc. shall be recorded for each sample. In unimproved areas such as easements and alleys, the trench or opening may be backfilled with sand which shall be flushed into place with water, provided the top twelve (12) inches of backfill shall be made of the excavated topsoil. No separate or additional payment will be made for backfill compaction and density testing. 27.08 Backfilling Under Pavement. Nonshrinkable backfill will be required under all street sections, existing or proposed, unless the Director of Public Works approves the standard backfill methods. Standard backfill methods shall be as specified in the section of these specifications entitled Trench Backfill. When standard backfill methods are used, density tests will be required for each twelve (12) inch lift of compacted material placed and for each 300 lineal feet of trench regardless of the length Density test results shall be submitted to the Engineer before acceptance of the project by the City. Trenches shall not be backfilled until all required tests are performed and the system conforms to the plans and specifications. The Contractor shall maintain the sewer trench backfill for one (1) year from the date of acceptance of the project by the City. 27.09 Nonshrinkable Backfill. All excavations where a sidewalk, curb, gutter, or paved street has been cut or where new paving (concrete or asphalt) will be placed shall be backfilled using nonshrinkable backfill. The backfill shall be filled to the subgrade of the undisturbed sidewalk, curb, gutter, paving, or earth surface. The nonshrinkable backfill shall be a mixture of sand, gravel, Portland cement, and water which flows easily around the utility being covered and develops a 28 day compressive strength of from 30 to 200 psi. No nonshrinkable backfill mix designs shall be used without the approval of the Director of Public Works. Fly ash may be approved in the mix if test data are submitted to indicate the above characteristics are met. 5 - 9 Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 213 / 470 27.10 Stacks. Where indicated on the plans or directed by the Engineer, six (6) inch stacks will be furnished and constructed complete with clay stoppers to within ten (10) feet of ground surface or above underground water surface. All stacks will be constructed in accordance with the standard plan entitled Stack Construction Details in Division VIII, Standard Plan Drawings. A separate stack shall be constructed for each house connection and in no case shall two service connections be connected to the same stack. 27.11 Relation to Water Mains. Horizontal and Vertical Separation. Sewers shall be laid at least 10 feet horizontally from any existing or proposed water main. The distance shall be measured edge to edge. In cases where it is not practical to maintain a 10 foot separation, the appropriate reviewing agency may allow deviation on a case-by-case basis, if supported by data from the design engineer. Such deviation may allow installation of the sewer closer to a water main, provided that the water main is in a separate trench or on an undisturbed earth shelf located on one side of the sewer and at an elevation so the bottom of the water main is at least 18 inches (460 mm) above the top of the sewer. If it is impossible to obtain proper horizontal and vertical separation as described above, both the water main and sewer must be constructed of slip-on or mechanical joint pipe complying with public water supply design standards of the agency and be pressure tested to 150 psi (1034 kPa) to assure watertightness before backfilling. Crossings. Sewers crossing water mains shall be laid to provide a minimum vertical distance of 18 inches (460 mm) between the outside of the water main and the outside of the sewer. This shall be the case where the water main is either above or below the sewer. The crossing shall be arranged so that the sewer joints will be equidistant and as far as possible from the water main joints. Where a water main crosses under a sewer, adequate structural support shall be provided for the sewer to maintain line and grade. When it is impossible to obtain proper horizontal and vertical separation as stipulated above, one of the following methods must be specified: a. The sewer shall be designed and constructed of PVC pipe and equal to water pipe, and shall be pressure tested at 150 psi (1034 kPa) to assure water tightness prior to backfilling. b. Either the water main or the sewer line may be encased in a watertight carrier pipe which extends 10 feet (3 m) on both sides of the crossing, measured perpendicular to the water main. The carrier pipe shall be of materials approved by the regulatory agency for use in water main construction. 27.12 Testing. Upon completion of sewer, each pipe line and manhole will be tested as specified by the Engineer in charge. The Contractor shall furnish such tools, hose, and other equipment necessary for making such tests and shall be present during the inspection to note any deficiencies that may exist. Before final acceptance, all sewers shall be clean, shall comply with the specifications and all contract documents, and shall be acceptable to the Engineer and municipal authorities. 27.13 Exfiltration and Air Testing. Both the sewer pipe line and the manholes shall be tested. Manholes shall be exfiltration tested only. Sewer pipe lines shall be air tested only. The first line between manholes shall be tested before backfilling and before any sewer pipe is installed in the remainder of the work. Thereafter, individual or multiple lines (optional to the Contractor with approval of the Engineer) shall be tested. 5 - 10 Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 214 / 470 Exfiltration Test. This test shall be performed according to stated procedures and under the supervision of the Engineer. The test shall be conducted by blocking off all manhole openings, filling the manhole, and measuring the water level in the manhole for reference. The head above the pipe invert shall be about ten (10) feet. The head shall not exceed twenty-five (25) feet or be less than five (5) feet. The parameters for infiltration are similar. When the ground water level is above the pipe invert, the head shall be measured from ground water elevation. The total exfiltration shall not exceed 200 gallons per inch of diameter per mile of pipe per day. Manholes shall be considered as sections of 48 inch or 60 inch pipe. The exfiltration test shall be maintained for at least two (2) hours or as long as necessary to locate all leaks, as directed by the Engineer. If the leakage in any reach exceeds the allowable maximum, it shall be retested after the leaks are repaired. Air Test. This test shall be performed according to stated procedures and under the supervision of the Engineer. Equipment used shall meet the following minimum requirements: (a) Pneumatic plugs shall have a sealing length equal to or greater than the diameter of the pipe to be tested, (b) pneumatic plugs shall resist internal testing pressure without requiring external bracing or blocking, (c) all air used shall pass through a single control unit, and (d) individual hoses shall be used for the following connections: (1) from control unit to pneumatic plugs for inflation, (2) from control unit to sealed line for introducing the low pressure air, and (3) from sealed line to control unit for continually monitoring the air pressure inside the pipe being tested. Procedures: All pneumatic lugs shall be seal tested before being used in the actual test installation. One length of pipe shall be laid on the ground and sealed at both ends with the pneumatic plugs to be checked. Air shall be pressurized to 25 psig. The sealed pipe shall be pressurized to 5 psig. The plugs shall hold against this pressure without movement of the plugs out of the pipe. After a manhole to manhole reach of pipe has been backfilled and cleaned and the pneumatic plugs are checked by the above procedures, the plugs shall be placed in the line at each manhole and inflated to 25 psig. Low pressure air shall be introduced into this sealed line until the internal air pressure reaches 4 psig greater than the average back pressure of any ground water that may be over the pipe. After a manhole to manhole reach of pipe has been backfilled and cleaned and the pneumatic plugs are checked by the above procedures, the plugs shall be placed in the line at each manhole and inflated to 25 psig. Low pressure air shall be introduced into this sealed line until the internal air pressure reaches 4 psig greater than the average back pressure of any ground water that may be over the pipe. At least two (2) minutes shall be allowed for the air pressure to stabilize. 5 - 11 Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 215 / 470 After the stabilization period (3.5 psig minimum pressure in the pipe), the air hose from the control unit to the air supply shall be disconnected. The portion of line being tested shall be termed “acceptable” if the time required in minutes for the pressure to decrease from 3.5 to 3.0 psig (greater than the average back pressure of any ground water that may be over the pipe) shall not be less than the time shown for the given diameters in the following table: SPECIFICATION TIME FOR LENGTH (L) SHOWN (MIN:SEC) 1 Pipe Diameter (in.) 2 Minimum Time (Min: sec) 3 Length for Minimum Time (ft) 4 Time for Longer Length (sec) 100 FT 150 FT 200 FT 250 FT 300 FT 350 FT 400 FT 450 FT 4 1:53 597 .190L 1:53 1:53 1:53 1:53 1:53 1:53 1:53 1:53 6 2:50 398 .427L 2:50 2:50 2:50 2:50 2:50 2:50 2:51 3:12 8 3:47 298 .760L 3:47 3:47 3:47 3:47 3:48 4:26 5:04 5:42 10 4:43 239 1.187L 4:43 4:43 4:43 4:57 5:56 6:55 7:54 8:54 12 5:40 199 1.709L 5:40 5:40 5:42 7:08 8:33 9:58 11:24 12:50 15 7.05 159 2.671L 7:05 7:05 8:54 11:08 13:21 15:35 17:48 20:02 18 8:30 133 3.846L 8:30 9:37 12:49 16:01 19:14 22:26 25:38 28:51 21 9:55 114 5.235L 9:55 13:05 17:27 21:49 26:11 30:32 34:54 39:16 24 11:20 99 6.837L 11:24 17:57 22:48 28:30 34:11 39:53 45:35 51:17 27 12:45 88 8.653L 14:25 21:38 28:51 36:40 43:16 50:30 57:42 64:89 30 14:10 80 10.683L 17:28 26:43 35:37 44:31 53:25 62:19 71:13 80:07 33 15:35 72 12.926L 21:33 32:19 43:56 53:52 64:38 75:24 86:10 96:57 36 17:00 66 15.384L 25:39 38:28 51:17 64:06 76:55 89:44 102:34 115:23 In areas where ground water is known to exist, the Contractor shall determine the water elevation prior to running the test. The height of water over the invert of the pipe shall be divided by 2.3 to establish the pounds of pressure that will be added to all readings. For example, if the height of the water is 11-1/2 feet, then the added pressure will be 5 psig. This increases the 3.5 psig to 8.5 psig and the 3.0 psig to 8.0 psig. The allowable drop of one half pound and the timing remain the same. For safety reasons, do not exceed 9.0 psig. If the installation fails to meet this requirement, the Contractor shall, at Contractor’s expense, determine the source of the leakage. Contractor shall then repair or replace all defective materials and/or workmanship. Air testing shall then be performed on the repaired line to meet the above specifications. 27.14 Television Inspection.

The City will furnish calibrated gauges for the tests and a source of water. After distribution pipe has been laid, all new potable water systems, 2” dia. and larger, and each valved section thereof, shall be subjected to a hydrostatic pressure of at least one and one half (1-1/2) times the working pressure (100 PSI minimum) at the point of testing. All privately owned lines, 2” dia. and larger, shall be subjected to a hydrostatic pressure of at least 200 psi. Each valved section of pipe shall be slowly filled with water, and the specified test pressure shall be applied by means of a pump connected to the pipe in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer. Valves shall not be operated in either the opening or closing direction at differential pressures above the rated pressure. When hydrants are in the test section, the pressure test shall be made against closed hydrant valves. Before applying the specified test pressure, air shall be expelled completely from the pipe, valves, and hydrants. If permanent air vents are not located at all high points, corporation cocks shall be installed at such points so the air can be expelled as the line is filled with water. After all the air has been expelled, the corporation cocks shall be closed, and the test pressure applied. At the conclusion of the pressure test, the corporation cocks shall be removed and plugged by the Contractor. When the specified pressure has been reached, the valve between the pump and the pipeline shall be closed, and the pump shall be disconnected and removed. The test pressure shall remain for a minimum of two (2) hours. If the pressure varies more than two pounds per square inch plus or minus (2 PSI+/-) during the duration of the test, it shall be extended for twenty-four (24) hours to satisfy those concerned that the decrease in the pressure is not due to thermal-volume changes of the water in the line. At the end of the twenty-four (24) hour period, the pressure shall be brought back up to the specified pressure and observed for two (2) hours. During the pressure test, any exposed pipe, fittings, valves, hydrants, and joints shall be examined carefully. Any damaged or defective pipe, fittings, valves, hydrants, or joints that are discovered shall be repaired or replaced with sound material, and the test shall be repeated until it is satisfactory to the Owner. 32.10 Sterilization, Flushing and Sampling of Lines. All new potable water systems, 2” dia. and larger, and each valved section thereof, shall be disinfected before they are placed in service. All water mains taken out of service for inspecting, repairing, or other activity that might lead to contamination of water shall be disinfected before they are returned to service. The Contractor shall furnish all labor, pumps, pipe connections, additional line plugs, adapters, caps, and all other necessary apparatus and materials. All work shall conform to the AWWA Standard, DISINFECTING WATER MAINS, ANSI/AWWA C651 and subsequent revisions, except as otherwise specified. Precautions shall be taken to protect the interiors of pipes, fittings, and valves against contamination. All materials delivered for construction shall be stored so as to minimize entrance of foreign material. All openings in the pipeline shall be closed with water tight plugs when pipe laying is stopped at the close of the day’s work or for other reasons, such as rest breaks or meal periods. Immediately prior to installing any pipe or fittings, the Contractor shall swab the interior of the pipe or fittings with a minimum 2% hypochlorite disinfecting solution. After acceptance of the pressure and leakage test, the main shall be filled with water at a rate such that water within the main will flow at a velocity no greater than one (1) foot per second. Precautions shall be taken to assure that air pockets are eliminated. When all air has been eliminated, the main shall be flushed to remove particulates. The flushing velocity in the main shall not be less than three (3) feet per second for distribution mains and domestic services and ten (10) feet per second for fire service lines, unless the City determines that Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 234 / 470 6-11 January 28, 2020 conditions do not permit the required flow to be discharged to waste. The main isolation valve shall not be operated for flushing or re-chlorination until a downstream hydrant is opened. During such operations, the main isolation valve shall only be operated by Utility Department personnel. After the initial flushing operation, the main shall be disinfected by chlorination. Chlorination will commence at a point not more than ten feet (10’) downstream from the beginning of the new main. Water from an approved supply source, shall be made to flow at a constant and measured rate into the newly laid water main, and shall receive a dose of chlorine, fed at a constant rate such that the water will have not less than twenty five (25) mg/L free chlorine. The chlorine shall be applied to the water main by injecting a hypochlorite solution by means of a chemical-feed pump designed for feeding chlorine solutions. Feed lines shall be of such material and strength as to safely withstand the corrosion caused by the concentrated chlorine solutions and the maximum pressures that may be created by the pumps. All connections shall be checked for tightness before the solution is applied to the main. During the application of chlorine, valves shall be positioned so the strong chlorine solution in the main being treated will not flow into water mains in active service. Chlorine application shall not cease until the entire main is filled with heavily chlorinated water. The chlorinated water shall be retained in the main for at least twenty-four (24) hours and a maximum ninety-six (96) hours, during which time all valves and hydrants in the treated section shall be operated to ensure disinfection of the appurtenances. At the end of this retention period, the treated water in all portions of the main shall have a residual of not less than ten (10) mg/L free chlorine. After the applicable retention period, the heavily chlorinated water shall be flushed from the main until chlorine measurements show that the concentration in the water leaving the main is no higher than five-tenths (0.5) mg/L or as prevailing in the system. The Contractor shall provide a means of disposing of the water and sterilizer so as to prevent damage to the environment during flushing operations. If there is any question that the chlorinated discharge will cause damage to the environment, then the Contractor shall supply a reducing agent to the water to be wasted to neutralize thoroughly the chlorine residual remaining in the water. Where necessary, Federal, State and local regulatory agencies shall be contacted to determine special provisions for the disposal of heavily chlorinated water. After final flushing and before new water main is connected to the main system, two consecutive sets of acceptable samples, taken at least twenty-four (24) hours apart, shall be collected from the new main. At least one set of samples shall be collected from every 1,200 feet of the new water main, plus one set from the end of the line, and one set from each branch. Samples shall show the absence of coliform bacteria, per Nebraska DHHS requirements, to pass. Following successful sampling and testing of the line, the Contractor shall remove all testing apparatus and plug the main at the point of injection of the disinfectant and flushing discharge. Samples for bacteriological analysis shall be collected in sterile bottles treated with sodium thiosulfate as required by “Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater.” No hose or fire hydrant shall be used in collection of samples. Sample tubing shall be a maximum of one inch (1”) dia. and devices shall be clean and disinfected with isopropyl rubbing alcohol or a 2% chlorine solution, and flushed prior to sampling. Sterilization by flame is not permitted. The Utility Department shall collect the final certification samples of record to check for complete disinfection. If the initial disinfection fails to produce satisfactory bacteriological samples, the main shall be re-chlorinated in accordance with this section until satisfactory results are obtained. The Contractor shall have the opportunity to perform the actual chlorination using the Contractor’s own personnel and equipment. The Contractor shall notify the Utility Engineering Division in writing at least 48 hours in advance of any work to disinfect the main. If the Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 235 / 470 6-12 January 28, 2020 Contractor’s personnel or equipment do not demonstrate the capabilities or methodology to properly disinfect the newly installed main they shall immediately suspend all such work upon written notification from the Utility Department. The disinfection will then be performed by the City and the expense charged to the Contractor. 32.10.1 Contractor’s Expense. Flushing, disinfection, testing and sampling will be repeated at the Contractor's expense until tests conducted by the Grand Island Utilities Department indicate the pipeline is certified for acceptance into the City’s water system. The rate charged by the City for each chlorination application will be $0.25 per linear feet of pipeline. The rate charged by the City for each two-day round of certification samples will be five hundred dollars ($500.00). The City will furnish personnel, pumps, and chemicals for the actual chlorination. All temporary discharge hoses, dewatering, piping, excavations, sample taps and corporations, other personnel or equipment, necessary for doing the work will remain the contractor’s responsibility. 32.11 Tapping of Water Mains. The Contractor shall furnish the necessary excavation, shoring, tapping valve, tapping sleeve, dewatering, and/or specials, and do all work necessary to make the connection to the water main without interruption of service on the tapped line. The actual tapping of the main will be performed by City personnel and the expense charged to the Contractor unless otherwise noted on the plans. 32.12 Separation from Sanitary Sewer / Storm Sewer Lines (Sewers) / Other Utility Lines. There shall be a minimum of eighteen (18) inches vertical clearance between water lines crossing either above or below sewers.

The Contractor shall deliver to the Utilities Director certified copies of such soil test results at least 48 hours in advance of any work on the installation of the water main. The Utilities Department shall review and make a determination from the data submitted. 34.02 Materials. Film shall be high-density, cross-laminated polyethylene or linear low-density polyethylene film manufactured of virgin polyethylene material. Film shall meet all the listed requirements for polyethylene film specified in the AWWA Standard, POLYETHYLENE ENCASEMENT FOR DUCTILE-IRON PIPE SYSTEMS, ANSI/AWWA C105/A21.5. The polyethylene film shall have a nominal thickness of 0.008 in. (8 mil). Tube size or sheet width for each pipe diameter shall be as listed on Standard Plan No. 155. 34.03 Installation. The polyethylene encasement shall prevent contact between the pipe and the surrounding backfill and bedding material, but is not intended to be a completely airtight or watertight enclosure. All lumps of clay, mud, cinders, etc. on the pipe surface shall be removed prior to installation of the polyethylene encasement. During the installation, care shall be exercised to prevent soil or embedment material from becoming trapped between the pipe and the polyethylene. The polyethylene film shall be fitted to the contour of the pipe to affect a snug, but not tight, encasement with minimum space between the polyethylene and the pipe. Sufficient slack shall be provided in contouring to prevent stretching the polyethylene where it bridges irregular surfaces, such as bell-spigot interfaces, bolted joints, or fittings, and to prevent damage to the polyethylene due to backfilling operations. Overlaps and ends shall be secured with adhesive tape or other material capable of holding the polyethylene encasement in place until backfilling operations are complete. For installations below the water table, both ends of the polyethylene tube shall be sealed as thoroughly as possible with adhesive tape at the joint overlap. This standard includes three methods of installation of polyethylene encasement on pipe. Methods A and B are for use with polyethylene tubes and Method C is for use with polyethylene sheets. 34.03.1 Method A. (Refer to Standard Plan No. 155) Cut polyethylene tube to a length approximately two (2) ft. longer than the pipe section. Slip the tube around the pipe, centering it to provide a one (1) ft. overlap on each adjacent pipe section, and bunching it accordion-fashion lengthwise until it clears the pipe ends. Lower the pipe into the trench and make up the pipe joint with the preceding section of pipe. A shallow bell hole must be made at joints to facilitate installation of the polyethylene tube. After assembling the pipe joint, make the overlap of the polyethylene tube. Pull the bunched polyethylene from the preceding length of pipe, slip it over the end of the new length of pipe, and secure it in place. Take up the slack width at the top of the pipe to make a snug, but not tight, fit along the barrel of the pipe, securing the fold at quarter points. Any cuts, tears, punctures, or other damage to the polyethylene shall be repaired. Proceed with installation of the next section of pipe in the same manner. Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 242 / 470 6-19 January 28, 2020 34.03.2 Method B. (Refer to Standard Plan No. 155) Cut polyethylene tube to a length approximately one (1) ft. shorter than that of the pipe section. Slip the tube around the pipe, centering it to provide 6” in. of bare pipe at each end. Take up the slack width at the top of the pipe to make a snug, but not tight, fit along the barrel of the pipe, securing the fold at quarter points. Before making up a joint, slip a 4-ft length of polyethylene tube over the end of the preceding pipe section, bunching it accordion-fashion lengthwise. After completing the joint, pull the 4-ft length of polyethylene over the joint, overlapping the polyethylene previously installed on each adjacent section of pipe by at least one (1) ft., make each end snug and secure. Any cuts, tears, punctures, or other damage to the polyethylene shall be repaired. Proceed with installation of the next section of pipe in the same manner. 34.03.3 Method C. (Refer to Standard Plan No. 155) Cut polyethylene sheet to a length approximately two (2) ft. longer than that of the pipe section. Center the cut length to provide a one (1) ft. overlap on each adjacent pipe section, bunching it until it clears the pipe ends. Wrap the polyethylene around the pipe so that it circumferentially overlaps the top quadrant of the pipe. Secure the cut edge of polyethylene sheet at intervals of approximately 3 ft. Lower the wrapped pipe into the trench and make up the pipe joint with the preceding section of pipe. A shallow bell hole must be made at joints to facilitate installation of the polyethylene. After completing the joint, make the overlap and secure the ends. Any cuts, tears, punctures, or other damage to the polyethylene shall be repaired. Proceed with installation of the next section of pipe in the same manner. 34.03.4 Appurtenances. Cover bends, reducers, offsets, and other pipe-shaped appurtenances with polyethylene in the same manner as the pipe. When it is not practical to wrap valves, tees, crosses, and other odd-shaped pieces in a tube, wrap with a flat sheet or split length of polyethylene tube by passing the sheet under the appurtenance and bringing it up around the body. Make seams by bringing the edges together, folding over twice, and taping down. Tape polyethylene securely in place at valve stem and other penetrations. 34.03.5 Repairs. Repair all cuts, tears, punctures, or damage to polyethylene with adhesive tape or with a short length of polyethylene sheet or a tube cut open, wrapped around the pipe to cover the damaged area, and secured in place. 34.03.6 Openings in Encasement. Provide openings for branches, service taps, blowoffs, air valves, and similar appurtenances by making an X-shaped cut in the polyethylene and temporarily folding back the film. After the appurtenance is installed, tape the slack securely to the appurtenance and repair the cut, as well as any other damaged areas in the polyethylene, with tape. Service taps may also be made directly through the polyethylene, with any resulting damaged areas being repaired as described above. 34.03.7 Junctions between Wrapped and Unwrapped Pipe. Where polyethylene wrapped pipe joins an adjacent pipe that is not wrapped, extend the polyethylene wrap to cover the adjacent pipe for a distance of at least 3 ft. Secure the end with circumferential turns of tape. Service lines of dissimilar metals shall be wrapped with polyethylene or a suitable dielectric tape for a minimum clear distance of 3 ft. away from the ductile-iron pipe. 34.03.8 Backfill for Polyethylene-Wrapped Pipe. Use the same backfill material as that specified for pipe without polyethylene wrap, exercising care to prevent damage to the polyethylene wrapping when placing backfill. Backfill material shall be free from cinders, refuse, boulders, rocks, stones, or other material that could damage polyethylene. In general, Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 243 / 470 6-20 January 28, 2020 backfilling practice should be in accordance with the AWWA Standard, INSTALLATION OF DUCTILE-IRON WATER MAINS AND THEIR APPURTENANCES, ANSI/AWWA C600, subsequent revisions, and City of Grand Island Specification Division VI, Water Mains, Section 32.13, 32.14 and 32.15, and as specified with the contract.

The Utilities Department reserves the right to modify sections and location of pipe installed by trenchless methods due to such factors as: soil conditions, material limitations, installation methodology, obstacles, or other causes. 37.01.1 Permits. The Utilities Department shall obtain ingress and egress permits, right-of- way, and easements required for the work, where required. Other permits required for the performance of the work shall be obtained by the Contractor. 37.01.2 Site Investigation. The Contractor shall determine the types and locations of surface and subsurface utilities and materials, soil types, groundwater, and other environmental factors and shall determine their effect on the bore installation. All site investigations required shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. If utilities of unknown depth or other obstructions will require grade or alignment deviations from the plans, the grade or alignment may be adjusted with the prior approval of the Utilities Department. 37.02 MATERIALS 37.02.1 Restrained Joint Pipe. Pipe shall be ductile iron with restrained push-on joints conforming to the AWWA Standard, DUCTILE-IRON PIPE, CENTRIFUGALLY CAST, ANSI/AWWA C151/A21.51 and Section 31, Division VI of the City of Grand Island Standard Specifications. Pipe shall be cement mortar lined conforming to the AWWA Standard, CEMENT-MORTAR LINING FOR DUCTILE-IRON PIPE AND FITTINGS, ANSI/AWWA C104/A21.4 and subsequent revisions. All cement mortar lining shall be coated with asphaltic seal coat in conformity with referenced standard specifications. Pipe shall be designed for a working pressure of 350 psi, with boltless, restrained, flexible joints, that have smoothly contoured bells. Joint designs that restrict smooth installation, increase pulling forces, or degrade the flow of drilling fluid around the joint shall not be used. Pipe and joint seals shall be capable of handling the internal pressures, external pressures, torque, and vacuum that can occur during pull-back along the bore path. 37.02.2 Pulling Heads. The pipe pulling head shall have the same characteristics as the pipe to which it is attached. Pulling heads, reamers, and swivel assemblies shall be designed and furnished by the pipe manufacturer, or an approved equal in full compliance with the pipe manufacturer’s requirements. 37.02.3 Polyethylene Encasement. All pipe shall have polyethylene encasement, as per Grand Island Standard Specifications, Section 34, and as additionally specified herein. Use only tube-type polyethylene sleeves with a nominal thickness of 0.008 in. (8 mil). Installation shall be per AWWA Standard, ANSI/AWWA C105/A21.5 “Alternate Method ‘A’ or Wet Trench Conditions” as modified herein. Polyethylene tubing shall be secured to the first length of pipe with several wraps of tape directly to both the pipe barrel and tubing, approximately one foot from the spigot end. Ensure that all excess material is neatly folded longitudinally, and secured around the barrel section by circumferential tape wraps at a maximum of two foot spacing. The polyethylene tubing should always overlap back over the bell and joint section to ensure that drilling fluid is not forced under the polyethylene during pull- Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 247 / 470 6-24 January 28, 2020 back. Secure the polyethylene at the joint area with circumferential tape wraps on each side of the joint. Continue installation opposite to the direction of pull-back. 37.03 PIPE INSTALLATION 37.03.1 Drilling System. The Contractor shall have the equipment and expertise appropriate for horizontal direction drilling operations and pipeline installation. The equipment shall consist, as a minimum of a system capable of performing the bore and pulling back the pipe, with a boring mixture delivery and fluid recovery system of sufficient appropriate capacity, and a guidable drill head capable of carrying out the drilling and piping installation. The equipment shall be designed to withstand the pulling, pushing and rotating pressure involved to complete the work, and equipped to monitor and record the pull-back pressure during the pull-back operation. The drill head shall be steerable and shall be provided with necessary cutting surfaces and drilling fluid jets as required. 37.03.2 Guidance System. The bore shall utilize a proven guidance probe and interface to accurately determine the location of the drill head during the drilling operation. It shall be capable of tracking at the required installation depth in any soils encountered and enable the operator to adjust the drill head both horizontally and vertically. 37.03.3 Drilling Fluid System. A self-contained system of sufficient size to mix and deliver the boring fluid shall be provided. Tank capacities shall be sized to hold excess material completely by containing “mud” quantities without spillage. The entry point shall be appropriately enclosed and equipped with a sump pump to reclaim or discharge excess drilling fluids to a reuse or disposal tank. The system shall be able to ensure thorough mixing of all components of the slurry to avoid clumping. The boring fluid shall be continually agitated by the mixing system. No discharge of excess material or site runoff will be allowed. 37.03.3.1 Drilling Fluid. The drilling fluid shall be comprised of clean potable water, bentonite clay, and appropriate additives. The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining, transporting, and/or storage of any water required for drilling fluids. Additives shall be environmentally safe, non-toxic, and approved for such usage. The boring fluid shall be of a consistency to suspend the cuttings and maintain the integrity of the bore walls. 37.03.4 Excavations. The Contractor shall be responsible for all excavations and properly maintaining trench banks, sheeting, and bracing as required. Excavations shall be of sufficient width to provide proper working space for drilling operations and down hole assemblies. Material excavated from the trenches shall be stacked in an orderly manner a sufficient distance back from edge of excavations to avoid overloading and preventing slides or cave-ins. Excavations shall be located for proper installation of the pipeline. The insertion / assembly pits may also subsequently be used for connections, installing valves, fittings, or hydrant assemblies at locations indicated on the plans. 37.03.5 Pilot Hole. Install the pilot hole using a steerable drilling head. The pilot hole shall be drilled along the planned bore path and alignment, to the tolerances listed and concurrent with safe operations. Proper setbacks shall be maintained to avoid excessively steep entry and exit of the pilot hole. In all cases, the transition from the surface to the bore path shall be within the pipe manufacturer’s allowable joint deflection. The Contractor has the option to pre-ream the pilot hole. However, lack of pre-reaming shall not place excessive loading on the installation of the pipeline. Any damage to the pipeline resulting from inadequate pre-reaming shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 248 / 470 6-25 January 28, 2020 37.03.6 Alignment. The bore path shall be to the elevations and alignment indicated on the drawings and as staked for the contractor. The installation shall be guided by equipment that gives continuous, accurate monitoring and done without disturbing the area surfacing, ditch lines, or waterways. The Contractor shall continuously monitor the bore alignment at all times when the bore operation is proceeding. When the alignment goes beneath a body of water, a visual inspection shall be made at the most accessible point immediately downstream of the bore alignment for changes in turbidity or color, which may indicate a subsurface breech in the boring operation. Pipe entry and exit points may be moved further from the original plan only with prior approval of the Utilities Department. Any bore exit to the surface, other than for the final location, shall be plugged and stabilized before proceeding, and the exit site shall be restored to its original condition. Deviations from the alignment indicated on the plans may be allowed providing: • No deviation shall be greater than 5% of depth per 100’ of installed length; • All piping shall be installed with a minimum of five (5) feet of earth cover; • The pipeline shall not interfere with proposed infrastructure locations, or the safe operation and maintenance of existing utilities or structures; • The pipeline shall not encroach beyond the right-of-way, easement, or construction limits. In cases where the pipe is outside of the specified limits, or otherwise deviates more than the approved maximum, the Contractor shall re-install the pipe to the accepted alignment and elevation at their own expense. 37.03.7 Installation – Cartridge Method. The Cartridge Assembly Method shall be the preferred option for assembling pipe sections due to right-of-way imitations. The individual pipe sections shall be joined in the insertion pit. Each section shall then be progressively pulled into the bore path a distance equivalent to a single pipe section. The process is repeated until the entire length is pulled through the bore path to the exit point. 37.03.8 Pull-Back. After successfully reaming of the bore hole, the Contractor shall attach a swivel connector between the final reamer and the pulling head and pull the pipe through the bore hole. Once pull-back operations have commenced, the operations shall continue without interruption until the pipe is completely pulled back through the bore hole. Pipe shall only be pulled from the plain end to minimize pulling forces and to take advantage of the bell transition. If excessive pull-back is encountered, or the pipe becomes immovable, the Contractor shall stop the pull-back operations to allow any potential hydro-lock to subside, then pulling operations will again commence. If the pipe remains stuck, the Contactor shall notify the City to discuss options or alternatives, and then work shall proceed in accordance with those decisions. 37.03.9 Pulling Force. Restrained push-on joint pipe must be capable of withstanding the pulling forces used to install the pipe though the bore hole. The pulling force shall be limited to the joints maximum dead-end thrust load at the rated working pressure, and in full compliance with the pipe manufacturer’s recommendations. 37.03.10 Backfill and Clean-Up. Disposal and clean-up of excess drilling fluid and pits shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. Disposal shall not be allowed on the project site. All work shall be done in accordance with environmental regulations, right-of-way limits, and permit requirements. Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 249 / 470 6-26 January 28, 2020 The Contractor shall backfill all excavations with suitable compacted materials as required. Earth spoiled by drilling mud or where other deleterious backfill substances are encountered, the material shall be rejected, hauled away, and disposed of by the Contractor and the site refilled with clean material. The area shall be restored to a condition equal to or better than its original condition. Materials to be removed from the job site shall be disposed of properly. If materials are to be disposed of on private property, prior written permission shall be obtained from the owner of the property, and submitted to the City’s designated representative. All materials, trash, and debris shall be removed by the Contractor from the construction limits in a timely manner. 37.04 RECORDS AND MEASUREMENTS 37.04.1 Records. The Contractor shall keep a daily log of all drilling activities and records indicating the pull-back loads exerted on the pipe for each section installed. A copy shall be provided to the City Utilities Department upon completion of the boring procedure. When monitoring records indicated the pullback forces exceed the pipe manufacturer’s loading recommendations, the pipeline may be rejected. The field records and notes shall additionally specify: the type of equipment used; the length and depth of the installation; and existing utility locations. 37.04.2 Measurement for Payment. The installation of bored pipe will be measured for payment by the linear foot of the various sizes of pipe acceptably installed. Measurement will be for full length of placement as verified in the field.

Compliance Schedules Reports of compliance or noncompliance with, or any progress reports on, interim and final requirements contained in any compliance schedule of this permit shall be submitted no later than 14 days following each schedule date. f. Twenty-four Hour Reporting i) The permittee shall report any noncompliance which may endanger human health or the environment. Any information shall be provided orally within 24 hours from the time the permittee becomes aware of the circumstances. A written submission shall also be provided within 5 days of the time the permittee becomes aware of the circumstances. The written submission shall contain a description of the noncompliance and its cause; the period of noncompliance, including exact dates and times, and if the noncompliance has not been corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps taken or planned to reduce, eliminate, and prevent reoccurrence of the noncompliance. Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 272 / 470 Page 6 of 12 ii) The following shall be included as information which must be reported within 24 hours under this paragraph. (a) Any unanticipated bypass which exceeds any effluent limitation in this permit. (b) Any upset which exceeds any effluent limitation in this permit. (c) Violation of a maximum daily discharge limitation for any of the pollutants listed by the Director in the permit to be reported within 24 hours. g. The Director may waive the written report on a case-by-case basis for reports under section 14. f. ii) (a), (b) and (c) if the oral report has been received within 24 hours. h. Other noncompliance The permittee shall report all instances of noncompliance not reported under paragraphs d., e., and f. of this section, at the time monitoring reports are submitted. The reports shall contain the information listed in paragraph f. of this section. i. Other information Where the permittee becomes aware that it failed to submit any relevant facts in a permit application, or submitted incorrect information in a permit application or in any report to the Director, it shall promptly submit such facts or information. j. Noncompliance Report Forms i) Noncompliance Report Forms are available from the Department and shall be submitted with or as the written noncompliance report. ii) The submittal of a written noncompliance report does not relieve the permittee of any liability from enforcement proceedings that may result from the violation of permit or regulatory requirements. 15. Bypass a. Definitions i) Bypass means the intentional diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility. ii) Severe property damage means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production. b. Bypass Not Exceeding Limitations The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of paragraphs 15.c. and d. of this section. c. Notice i) Anticipated Bypass If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass. ii) Unanticipated Bypass The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in paragraph 14.f. of this section (24-hour notice). d. Prohibition of Bypass Bypass is prohibited, and the Director may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass, unless: Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 273 / 470 Page 7 of 12 i) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or severe property damage; ii) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes, or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate back-up equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and iii) The permittee submitted notices as required under paragraph 15.c. of this section. e. The Director may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if the Director determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in paragraph 15.d. 16. Upset a. Definition Upset means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. b. Effect of an Upset An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph 16.c. of this section are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review. c. Conditions Necessary for a Demonstration of Upset. A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that: i) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset; ii) The permitted facility was at the time being properly operated; iii) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in paragraph 14.f. ii) (a), of this section (24- hour notice). iv) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under paragraph (d) of this section. d. Burden of Proof In any enforcement proceeding, the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has the burden of proof. 17. Other Rules and Regulations Liability The issuance of this permit in no way relieves the obligation of the permittee to comply with other rules and regulations of the Department. 18. Severability If any provision of this permit is held invalid, the remainder of this permit shall not be affected. 19. Other Conditions that Apply to NPDES and NPP Permits a. Land Application of Wastewater Effluent The permittee shall be permitted to discharge treated domestic wastewater effluent by means of land application in accordance with the regulations and standards set forth in NDEQ Title 119, Chapter 12 002. Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 274 / 470 Page 8 of 12 The Wastewater Section of the Department must be notified in writing if the permittee chooses to land apply effluent. b. Toxic Pollutants The permittee shall not discharge pollutants to waters of the state that cause a violation of the standards established in NDEQ Titles 117, 118 or 119. All discharges to surface waters of the state shall be free of toxic (acute or chronic) substances which alone or in combination with other substances, create conditions unsuitable for aquatic life outside the appropriate mixing zone. c.

Discharge authorizations are contingent upon the conductance of these examinations (i.e., Physical Characteristic Examinations are required). 1. Physical Characteristic Examination (PCE) Procedure This procedure involves qualitative observations for characteristics of color, turbidity, odors, surface sheens, septic conditions, or any other unusual conditions (e.g., off-gassing). PCE observations are to be made both in situ and on grab samples. PCE results are to be recorded on the attached report form or other approved format. PCE results are to be used as indicators of potential pollution problems. If none of the previous listed characteristics are noted a report is not required. 2. Immediate Notification and Follow-Up a. When a discharge displays, any of these characteristics: turbidity, color, off gassing, sheens, films, hydrocarbon contamination, or foaming and odors. b. This may indicate possible presence of excessive pollution. At these concentrations or amounts that are indicated requires that the discharge be discontinued immediately and the Department notified. c. The discharge shall be discontinued immediately and the NDEQ shall be contacted: If there is any evidence the discharge is causing distress to fish, aquatic organisms, plant life, wildlife and/or livestock, or creating a public health concern. d. Following the notification, the permittee shall take appropriate follow-up actions as specified by the Department. These actions may include, but are not necessarily limited to: a follow-up investigation, additional testing, alternative disposal options, and/or treatment. It is also possible that the discharge may be allowed without further action if it is determined that the discharge would not result in excessive pollution. e. Excessive pollution is defined as pollution in amounts that would result in a violation of a permit limit or of water quality criteria set forth in NDEQ Title 117 and 118. “Water shall be free from human-induced pollution which causes”. These narrative and aesthetic standards for surface waters include: 1) Noxious odors; 2) Floating, suspended, colloidal, or settleable materials that produce objectionable films, colors, turbidity, or deposits; and 3) The occurrence of undesirable or nuisance aquatic life (e.g., algal blooms). 3. Periodic Reporting In addition to the immediate notification requirements described above, a summary report of the findings of the Physical Characteristic Examination procedure results is to be submitted as an attachment to the discharge monitoring reports (DW-DMR's) that are required pursuant to Appendix A, Subsection D of the NPDES permit. 4. Record Keeping Records of the physical examination results need to be kept and need to include the following information: a. The date and time of the observation b. Name of the observer; and c. Summary information on the observations made. Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 302 / 470 Attachment # 4 Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality .

Applicability This general permit authorizes ground or surface water discharges from construction excavations and dewatering wells. This is a reissue without change. B. Authority and Purpose 1. This general permit was developed according to the Nebraska Department Environmental Quality Title 119, Chapters 5 and 25 – Rules and Regulations Pertaining to the Issuance of Permits Under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. This regulation was promulgated pursuant to the Nebraska Environmental Protection Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 81-1501 et seq.) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. §§ 1251 et seq.). The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) is authorized in Section 402 of the Federal Clean Water Act. 2. NPDES permits may contain effluent limitations and require “best management practices” (BMPs) in order to regulate the pollutant discharge. The permit limitations can be based upon water quality and/or technology-based standards. These standards are established in NDEQ Title 117 – Nebraska Surface Water Quality Standards, Title 118 – Ground Water Standards and Use Classification. There are no technological standards established in NDEQ Title 119, Chapter 27 that applies to the eligible sources for coverage under the General NPDES Permit NEG671000. C. Description of the Discharges The primary focus of this permit is to control the pollutant discharges from dewatering activities at construction excavation sites and dewatering wells used to depress ground water levels. 1. Many discharges originate from excavated pits and trenches where the primary pollutant is suspended solids. These sumps or trench discharges have a much higher potential for containing suspended solids. 2. Some discharges may originate from below ground utility vaults (electrical or telephone). Occasionally, these types of vaults are flooded by storm water runoff. These discharges have a high potential for containing petroleum hydrocarbons and suspended solids. 3. When wells are used to depress ground water levels or during foundation sump discharges, there is a low potential for containing suspended solids. However, some ground water dewatering discharges may be contaminated with various types of organic chemicals. The contamination sources are usually due to spills or leaks into ground or surface waters near the site. 4. Most ground water infiltration flows may be discharged. This permit is not limited to ground water discharges; it also addresses storm water discharges. 5. Many small volume foundation-dewatering discharges do not generally require an NPDES permit. The reason is that there is no significant discharge of pollutants to waters of the state. An individual NPDES permit authorization may be required for the following foundation dewatering activities: a. If ground water contamination exists; b. If the existing natural ground water constituents may negatively impact surface waters; or c. If nearby activities create pollution potential in the ground water. D. Area of Application This permit is applicable throughout the State of Nebraska, excluding tribal lands. Statewide application is appropriate because the potential sources may be found throughout the state. No discharges will be allowed to tribal lands within the State of Nebraska or to State Resource Waters. This permit provides specific written evaluation procedures for discharges to the following waters of the state: 1. Stream segments that are protected as Public Drinking Water Supplies. Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 310 / 470 General NPDES Permit for Dewatering NEG671000 January 1, 2017 Entire State of Nebraska Page 3 of 7 These requirements are set forth in the permit Part I. These provisions provide the Department an opportunity to evaluate the discharge based on receiving water criteria. These water quality evaluations can be made on any given dewatering discharge with the state. E. Permit Term This permit is to be issued for a five-year term. This is the maximum time period allowed pursuant to NDEQ Title 119, Chapter 16 002. Within the permit in Appendix A. Paragraph A.7 sets forth a reopener clause that allows modification, suspension, revocation, or reissuance according to NDEQ Title 119, Chapter 24. F. Proposed Changes to the Existing Permit On the basis of a preliminary staff review, the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality has made a tentative determination to reissue the permit without change. G. Permit Requirements and Conditions The content of each section is summarized in the following paragraphs. An explanation of the basis is provided when appropriate. The draft permit consists of authorization page, four main parts, two appendices, and six attachments. The six attachments are the Notice of Intent (DW-NOI), the Threatened and Endangered Species Checklist, the Discharge Monitoring Report (DW-DMR), the noncompliance report form, a physical characteristics examination (PCE) report, and a dewatering relocation notice (DW-RLN). These attached forms are subject to modification by the Department. 1. Permit Authorization Page This is the first permit page. It identifies the permit name, number, issuance and expiration dates, and the Federal and State laws that authorize this NPDES permit. The Director or a delegated representative shall sign this page prior to permit issuance. 2. Table of Contents This is a summary of the Parts, Sections, Appendices, and Attachments of the draft permit. This is intended as an aid for using and reviewing the permit. 3. Part I - Eligibility The area of the state to which the permit applies is identified (i.e. this permit has statewide application). This part describes the discharges that are eligible to apply for authorization to discharge under the terms and conditions of this permit. Several limitations on coverage are also set forth in this part of permit. 4. Part II - Authorization to Discharge This part set forth the following procedures: 1. How to obtain authorization; 2. Contents of the Notice of Intent; 3. Additional Information Requirements; 4. Requiring an alternative permit application; 5. Revocation of the authorization to discharge; 6. Notification of changes to facility name, ownership, operations, or pertinent personnel; 7. Notification of any activities that may alter the water quality of the discharge; and 8. Notification of Relocation or Completion. Any facility wishing authorization to discharge under the terms and conditions of this general permit must submit a Notice of Intent (DW-NOI). The permit specifies minimum and additional information requirements for potential applicants. This permit section specifically spells out what is required in a DW- NOI. It also contains information that may aid applicants in completing and submitting the DW-NOI. Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 311 / 470 General NPDES Permit for Dewatering NEG671000 January 1, 2017 Entire State of Nebraska Page 4 of 7 When the Department has received the complete DW-NOI, the discharge authorization shall be granted after 10 days. However, there are the following exceptions: 1) If additional information is requested, or; 2) If the discharge is to public drinking water sources, then the review period is extended. 5. Part III Monitoring Requirements and Effluent Limitations a. Table A – Construction Excavation Site Dewatering Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirement establishes the following parameters, limitations and monitoring requirements: 1) Monitoring shall be initiated within 8 hours after the discharge is started; 2) Flow shall be monitored daily; 3) The physical characteristics examination shall be conducted daily; 4) Petroleum hydrocarbons shall be sampled and analyzed when a visible hydrocarbon sheen or free petroleum product is detected; 5) The total suspended solids haves a daily maximum limitation of 90 mg/L. The maximum limitation of 90 mg/L for total suspended solids limitation was originally a “best professional judgment” limitation. The existing permit compliance history indicates this limitation is an achievable limitation for excavation sites. The total suspended solids parameter shall be sampled and analyzed on a weekly frequency; 6) The pH parameter shall be sampled and analyzed on a weekly frequency. The pH range 6.5 to 9.0 limitation was adopted from NDEQ Title 117, Chapter 4. The compliance history of the existing permit indicates this is achievable limitation; 7) The Department may request a onetime sampling analysis for metals as well as organics; and 8) To qualify for the monitoring frequency reduction, the permittee must employ best management practices and demonstrate compliance with the permit limitations. This must be demonstrated for a 30 days. b. Table B – Foundation Sump, Utility Vault, and Ground Water Level Depression Dewatering Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirement establishes the following parameters, limitations and monitoring requirements: 1) Monitoring shall be initiated within 8 hours after the discharge is started; 2) Flow shall be monitored daily; 3) The physical characteristics examination shall be conducted daily; 4) Petroleum hydrocarbons shall be sampled and analyzed when a visible hydrocarbon sheen or free petroleum product is detected; 5) The total suspended solids haves a daily maximum limitation of 30 mg/L. The maximum limitation of 30 mg/L for total suspended solids limitation was originally a “best professional judgment” limitation. The existing permit compliance history indicates this limitation is an achievable limitation for foundation sump, utility vault, and ground water level depression sites. The total suspended solids parameter shall be sampled and analyzed on a weekly frequency; 6) The pH parameter shall be sampled and analyzed on a monthly frequency. The pH range 6.5 to 9.0 limitation was adopted from NDEQ Title 117, Chapter 4. The compliance history of the existing permit indicates this is achievable limitation; 7) The Department may request a onetime sample analysis for metals as well as organics; and 8) To qualify for the monitoring frequency reduction, the permittee must employ best management practices and demonstrate compliance with the permit limitations. This must be demonstrated for a one-week period. Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 312 / 470 General NPDES Permit for Dewatering NEG671000 January 1, 2017 Entire State of Nebraska Page 5 of 7 c. Site Specific Conditions establishes that a parameter may be added on a case-by-case basis based on water quality standards. d. One-time sampling analysis for Metals establishes that if the Department believes that metals may be present in the discharge, a one-time sample shall be analyzed to determine of additional monitoring will be required. e. One-time sampling analysis for Organics establishes that if the Department believes that organics may be present in the discharge, a one-time sample shall be analyzed to determine of additional monitoring will be required. f. Land Application/Beneficial Reuse establishes narrative requirements for permittees wishing to either reuse the water for a beneficial purpose, or for land application in situations where the permittee may have no option for a direct discharge, wishes to use the discharge water in a beneficial manner, or where water quality standards would not be met with a direct discharge. These narrative requirements were taken from Nebraska Title 119, Chapter 12. 6. Part IV. - Other Conditions and Requirements This part of the permit contains the following provisions: a. A disclaimer stating that compliance with the permit does not provide a liability shield from any environmental damage that might result from discharges authorized under this permit; b. A narrative water quality based limitation on toxicity developed pursuant to NDEQ Title 117; c. A narrative water quality based limitations on films, color, turbidity, deposition, and noxious odor pursuant to NDEQ Title 117; d. A requirement to immediately report conditions or events that may be indicative or related to the introduction of pollution in the discharge; e. Reduction in monitoring frequency – These provisions allow the permittee to reduce the monitoring frequency for extended periods of dewatering. The reduction in monitoring frequency will be granted upon the receipt of the permittee’s written request and compliance with permit provisions. f. A requirement to control erosion and channel scouring that could potentially occur as a result of the discharge; g. An allowance is made for modification of the DW-NOI, DW-DMR, noncompliance report, and the DW-PCE report forms. These forms are attachments to the permit. This provides the permittee with notification and reporting forms to meet the requirements of the permit. This provision allows the Department the flexibility to improve these forms h. Additional monitoring parameters may be added to this permit, when special site-specific conditions arise during the dewater operations. (e.g., During the dewatering process, an effluent pollutant causes a water quality impact not identified in the Notice of Intent.) i. On October 22, 2015, EPA published the Clean Water Act National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule, which requires electronic reporting of NPDES information rather than the currently required paper based reports from the permitted facilities. Facilities must submit electronically information required in Appendix A of 40 CFR Part 127, 40 CFR 122.26(b)(15), and 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14)(x). 7. Appendix A – Standard Conditions This appendix contains the conditions and requirements that are common to all NPDES permits issued by the Department. These conditions and requirements are based on State and Federal regulatory requirements that pertain to NPDES permits. 8. Appendix B – State Resource Waters and Public Drinking Water Supply Streams This appendix identifies stream segments which are considered State Resource Waters or Public Drinking Supply Streams. It is intended as a reference to the applicants and permittees for use in filling out NOI and Relocation Notices. Information in this appendix is arranged by county to make it easier for permittees to use.

Steele, Mayor Attest: ___________________________ RaNae Edwards, City Clerk Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 362 / 470 City of Grand Island Tuesday, March 24, 2020 Council Session Item G-6 #2020-70 - Approving Amendment #2 to the Agreement between the City of Grand Island Utilities Department and Tenaska Power Services Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 363 / 470 Council Agenda Memo From:Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director Stacy Nonhof, Interim City Attorney Meeting:March 24, 2020 Subject:Second Amendment to Marketing Agreement with Tenaska Presenter(s):Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director Background At the May 12, 2012 meeting, City Council approved a Marketing Agreement with Tenaska. This agreement provided a means for the Utilities Department to buy and sell power through the regional Southwest Power Pool (SPP) market. On September 11, 2018, the first amendment to the agreement was approved to transfer capacity related obligations including any penalties to the City of Grand Island’s Market Participation registration. Discussion Tenaska has proposed an amendment to the original Marketing Agreement ARR/TCR Services. ARR (Auction Revenue Rights) and TCR (Transmission Congestion Rights) are components of our electric transmission transactions that we must regularly conduct to receive energy from our participation in generating facilities outside of Grand Island, and currently, our excess ARR/TCR’s are not used. The Southwest Power Pool Transmission Congestion Rights Markets (TCR Markets) provide financial rights that can be used to hedge against the Day-Ahead Market transmission congestion between two settlement locations. The SPP TCR Markets process uses two forms of rights. First, the TCR is used to distribute the Day-Ahead congestion rents that occur each hour. Second, the Auction Revenue Rights (ARRs) are used for the distribution of the revenue generated in the auctioning and awarding of TCRs. TCRs and ARRs are source-to-sink (point-to-point) instruments that are awarded in 0.1 MW increments. The SPP TCR Markets process consists of an annual process followed by monthly processes to award Long-Term Congestion Rights (LTCRs) and On-Peak and Off-Peak ARRs and TCRs. The annual ARR and TCR process includes 14 distinct products, one product for each unique combination of On-Peak or Off-Peak Time of Use across the seven different periods that make up the TCR year (June through the following May). Those seven periods are: June, July, August, September, fall, winter and spring. The seasonal products are separated into monthly products before the applicable SPP TCR Markets monthly Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 364 / 470 process. These are speculative markets for and there can be monetary losses and our staff does not have the expertise to analyze these markets, nor do we want to be in a position where we are incurring avoidable risk. Tenaska has proposed this amendment for which they will participate in the ARR/TCR market with our excess ARR/TCR’s on a commission basis based on their acceptance of all risk and any financial loss. The Grand Island proceeds from revenue in this market under this agreement would have been around $60,000 based on the results of the 2018- 2019 market. Any revenues received by this agreement would be refunded directly to the ratepayers through the Power Cost Adjustment of the electric rate structure. Alternatives It appears that the Council that the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Move to approve 2. Refer the issue to a Committee 3. Postpone the issue to a future date 4. Take no action on the issue Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve the Second Amendment to the Tenaska SPP Marketing Agreement. Sample Motion Move to approve the Second Amendment to the Tenaska SPP Marketing Agreement. Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 365 / 470 1 SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND SETTLEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT This Second Amendment to the Energy Management and Settlement Services Agreement (“Amendment”) is entered into as of [DATE] (the “Effective Date”) by and between The City of Grand Island, which through its Electric Division operates a municipal electric utility organized under the laws of Nebraska (“Customer”), and Tenaska Power Services Co. (“TPS”). Each of Customer and TPS may be referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties” to this Amendment. WHEREAS, Customer and TPS are Parties to that certain Energy Management and Settlement Services Agreement dated as of May 22, 2012, as amended (the “Agreement”); and WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend the Agreement to add additional services and fees. NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by both Parties, Customer and TPS hereby agree as follows: AMENDMENT 1.Unless otherwise defined in this Amendment, capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the same meaning as that given to such terms in the Agreement. 2.The Parties agree to amend the Agreement to add the following definitions to Section 1 of the General Terms and Conditions in alphabetical order: “Annual ARR Allocation Process” shall mean the process by which SPP awards ARRs, that entitles the holder to a share of the auction revenues generated in the applicable TCR Auction(s) and/or entitles the holder to self-covert the ARRs into TCRs. “Annual Auction Revenue” shall mean the sum of the credits or charges associated with each path in the nomination portfolio, calculated as the TCR Auction Clearing Price per a given auction at the source minus the TCR auction clearing price per a given auction at the sink (each expressed in $/MW-period), for the auction year multiplied by the MW volume awarded for the applicable period. A positive calculated amount shall mean a revenue and a negative calculated amount shall mean a charge. “Annual ARR Allocation Round Three Net Economic Benefit (Annual ARR Rd 3 NEB)” shall mean for any Annual TCR Auction an amount equal to the Annual Auction Revenue received by Customer from SPP in the Annual TCR Auction associated with paths awarded in round three of the Annual ARR Allocation Process where such paths were recommended by TPS. “Annual TCR Auction” shall mean the process held each May by SPP whereby ARR holders can bid to purchase and self-convert their ARRs to TCRs. Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 366 / 470 2 “ARR/TCR Services” shall have the meaning given this term in Section 3.9 of this Agreement. “TCR Auction Clearing Price” shall mean the prices generated at each source and sink settlement location in each round of the Annual TCR Auction and monthly TCR Auction based upon the TCR offers and bids submitted. 3.The Parties agree to amend the Agreement by deleting the existing Section 3.9. The following shall be inserted as the new Section 3.9: “3.9. ARR/TCR Services (“ARR/TCR Services”). TPS shall be the exclusive provider of ARR/TCR Services to Customer. ARR/TCR Services shall consist of the following activities. TPS shall provide analysis and assist with the SPP ARR/TCR process to include one (1) annual-auction report and eleven (11) monthly-auction ARR/TCR reports for paths from Customer’s Resource(s) to Customer’s load. In round three of the SPP Annual ARR Allocation Process, TPS will provide Customer with a nomination strategy, including eligible ARR paths and volumes, for any remaining volumes up to Customer’s round three nomination cap for each time of use. Any transmission or ARR paths identified by TPS and communicated to Customer shall remain confidential. Customer shall nominate all of the paths identified by TPS or no paths in round three. If Customer agrees to nominate all paths and volumes identified by TPS, all awarded volumes on these paths will be included in the Annual ARR Rd 3 NEB. TPS and Customer agree to collect the Annual Auction Revenue for all awarded volumes and not self-convert any awarded volumes to TCRs.” 4.The Parties agree to amend the Agreement to add the following language to Section 5. The following shall be inserted as Section 5.10: “5.10 ARR/TCR Services Fees. Customer shall pay TPS seventy percent (70%) of the Annual ARR Rd 3 NEB and Customer shall retain thirty percent (30%). TPS will invoice Customer each month during the auction year for the seventy percent (70%) share of the Annual ARR Rd 3 NEB in accordance with Section 10 of this Agreement. If the net value of the Annual ARR Rd 3 NEB for the auction year is negative, TPS will reimburse Customer for such losses as invoiced to Customer by SPP and verified by TPS.” 5.Unless expressly changed by this Amendment, all other terms of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 6.This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, including facsimile(s) or emails, each one of which will be considered an original Agreement, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. 7.This Amendment contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Amendment and supersedes any previous understandings, Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 367 / 470 3 commitments, or agreements, oral or written, with respect to such subject matter of this Amendment.

Legal notice of the creation of the District was published in the Grand Island Independent on February 3, 2020, with notification being mailed to all involved property owners. The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department received a petition for creation of a Sanitary Sewer District to serve the new subdivision of Ellington Pointe and the existing subdivision of Westwood Park. The subdivision agreement for the Westwood Park Subdivision, dated March 28, 1978, and filed as Instrument No. 78-002723, stated “….Further, the Subdividers agree not to protest any sanitary sewer or water main districts within said subdivision. …., the subsequent owners of any lots in the subdivision shall be responsible to perform any of the conditions of this agreement if the Subdividers have not performed such conditions.” The full subdivision agreement is attached for reference. Discussion The district completed the 30-day protest period at 5:00 p.m., Friday, March 6, 2020. There was one (1) protest filed against this District by affected property owners. This owner represents 120.00 front feet, or 1.76% of the total District frontage of 6,802.11 feet. The Public Works Department recommends that the assessments for the district be spread equally across the lots in the district with a ten (10) year repayment schedule. The estimated assessment per parcel is currently $13,000.00- $20,000.00. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning this issue at hand.

In an effort to disburse traffic and alleviate some of the frustration for those needing to dispose of tree debris the Public Works Department located four (4) sites throughout the City to be utilized for such. The sites opened for free tree disposal to the public were: 3411 West Faidley Avenue (Abundant Life Christian Center) 4075 West 13th Street (Westridge Middle School) 1800 South Adams Street (Starr Elementary School) 3235 South Locust Street (Community Redevelopment Authority) Each of these sites were published as free for public use through the Public Works Department’s Facebook page and press releases to the media, as well as staffed during business hours with a City vehicle at each entrance site with flashing lights. Once the sites were closed the public began using a Chief Industries, Inc.’s property located at 1208 South Adams Street, adjacent to Starr Elementary School. The City took responsibility for the cleanup of this site as it was obvious that the public mistook it for the City’s Starr Elementary School site. Prior to contacting Grand Island Public Schools regarding use of the Westridge Middle School site, Public Works Administration reached out to Third City Christian Church for use of the northwestern end of their lot. The City was notified that there was a large event taking place and it would not be safe. At that point Grand Island Public Schools was contacted and permission was given to utilize the Westridge Middle School site, which is directly across 13th Street to the south of Third City Christian Church. A City employee noticed tree branches were being disposed of at Third City Christian Church after such use was declined. Public Works Administration contacted Third City Christian Church to make sure it was known that the City was not directing the public to Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 448 / 470 use their property for such disposal. The secretary of Third City Christian Church stated the disposal was for their members and staff only, and not open to the public. Later City staff reported being turned away when he attempted to dispose of his personal branches. On September 10, 2019, via Resolution No. 2019-283 City Council approved awarding a $108,100.00 contract to O’Neill Wood Resources, LLC of Alda, Nebraska for grinding and hauling the disposed tree branches at the four (4) originally identified sites. During the solicitation of bids for tree grinding and hauling of debris from the August 7, 2019 wind storm, Third City Christian Church contacted the Public Works Administration office requesting the City to dispose of the debris on their property. Public Works staff informed them that their site was not eligible since it was not authorized and not open to the general public. Upon insistence from the church official, the matter was referred to City’s Legal Department to determine if the City could pay this expense. The City’s Legal Department stated that the City could not be responsible for this site. Discussion While the Third City Christian Church debris disposal does not meet the City’s normal procurement policy, taking debris during 2019 wind storm emergency was beneficial to the City. At least some of the Third City Christian Church officials thought the City was involved and would facilitate the cleanup, indicating some miscommunication occurred. The cost of disposing of this debris is relatively small and would clear the last remaining matter from this event.

Sand & Gravel for a Conditional Use Permit for a Sand & Gravel Operation located at 3895 S. Locust Street Staff Contact: Craig Lewis Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 457 / 470 Council Agenda Memo From :Craig A. Lewis, Building Department Director Meeting:February 25, 2020 & March 24, 2020 Subject:Public Hearing on Request from Hooker Bros. Sand & Gravel Inc. for a Conditional Use Permit to Allow for the Operation of a Sand and Gravel Mining Facility at 3895 South Locust Street Presenter:Craig Lewis, Building Department Director Background: This request is for council approval to allow for the operation of a sand and gravel mining facility at the above referenced location. A conditional use permit is required as the current zoning classification, TA or Transitional Agriculture does not allow for this type of use as a permitted principal use. The zoning classification does list as a conditional use, commercial mines, quarries, sand and gravel pits and accessory uses. Conditional uses as listed in the zoning code must be approved by the City Council. A permit was approved on June 23, 2009 and a renewal on May 28, 2019 for a ten year period for the continued operation on the adjoining property at 3947 South Locust Street. This request is a continuation to the east of the existing operation and is expected to continue to operate after the closing of the original site. At the February 25, 2020 City Council meeting a Public Hearing was conducted and a motion was made and approved to postpone approval to the March 24, 2020 meeting. A drainage plan has been developed to allow for potential flow of drainage across the property and into the south drainage ditch of the Wood River Diversionary Channel. I discussed the proposal on March 18, 2020 with Hall County and received a verbal approval that both Hall County and the Central Platte Natural Resources District were approving of the proposed drainage plan. Written conformation was received on March 20, 2020. Discussion: Sand and gravel operations have been a part of Grand Island and the surrounding areas for a long time, as the City of Grand Island continues to grow conditions need to be implemented to assure a compatible existence for both. City administration has developed the following restrictions, or conditions which appear appropriate to impose upon sand and gravel operations. Grand Island Council Session - 3/24/2020 Page 458 / 470 1). USE: The proposed uses are limited to those listed in the application, sand and gravel pumping processing, storage, stocking piling, distribution, and sales, both wholesale and retail.

No product, material or equipment shall be stored within any easement or in such a manor that it would violate any safety provisions of the National Electric Safety Code. (f). All dead trees, rubbish, and debris, if any must be cleared from the real estate as soon as practical and such real estate must, at all times, be kept in a clean and neat condition. (g). No trash, rubbish, debris, dead trees, lumber, bricks, refuse or junk material of any nature whatsoever shall be dumped, placed or located upon such real estate. (h). Applicant shall not use the real estate in any way so as to create or result in an unreasonable hazard or nuisance to adjacent land owners or to the general public. (i). Applicant shall maintain any and all drainage ditches that may be located upon the real property. (j).

ALTERNATIVES: It appears the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue. 1. Approve the request with the proposed conditions, finding that the proposed application is and will continue to be in conformance with the purpose of the zoning regulations. 2. Deny the request, finding that the proposed application does not conform to the purpose of the zoning regulations. 3. Approve the request with additional or revised conditions and findings of fact. 4. Refer the matter to a special committee for a determination of a finding of fact.

March 19, 2020 Hooker Bros Sand & Gravel 3935 South Locust Street Post Office Box 5134 Grand Island, Nebraska 68802-5134 Re: Drainage through proposed expansion of Gravel Pit East of Locust Street and North of Schimmer Drive I have reviewed the existing drainage patterns in the area because of concerns mentioned during the application process for a conditional use permit. The existing drainage in the area flows north under Schimmer Drive through a concrete box culvert located approximately 2,200 feet east of Locust Street. The drainage then goes east to the half-mile line where it turns and runs north for ¼ mile before turning east. Once the drainage turns east, it runs generally north-east and drops into the intercepting ditch that is along the south side of the Wood River Diversion. The drainage along Schimmer Drive has been a concern for Hall County as well as the property south of Schimmer Drive for a number of years. We have asked and you have cleaned out the ditch downstream of the box culvert. But it’s never functioned very well, partly because of silting, but mostly because the ditch was dug too deep. The ditch north of Schimmer Drive Is actually too deep. In reviewing the drainage for the proposed development, the ditch was surveyed. The drainage can be accommodated and even improved, both for today and for the future development of the property if the ditch is re-designed and carries water from Schimmer Drive straight north into the intercepting ditch as shown on the attached aerial photo. The slope of the ditch will be 0.08% from the box culvert to the intercepting ditch. I recommend the ditch be a minimum of 10 feet wide to accommodate the drainage from the box culvert. Please call me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Steven P.
