Scope of Work
Scope of Services for 404 Permit Application for Lake Ringgold
City of Wichita Falls
BASIC SERVICES
The following scope of services is for the developmert of a Clean Water Act Section 404 individual permit
application (404 Permit) and the application for the water quality Section 401 certification for Lake
Ringgold Project. The Lake Ringgold Project includes the construction of the dam, including construction
access, intake, pump station, and transmission pipeline, and impoundment of water in Lake Ringgold. It
also includes the resolution of conflicts within the project footprint and assumes a lass of the Little Wichita
River downstream from the dam to the confluence of the Red River.
Preparation of the application is one of the many steps required by the Section 404 process. Additional
effort will be needed as the application progresses through the process_This scope covers only up to the
completion and submittal of the application_This scope presents an overview of the components required
for the 404 Permit application.These components include the required information for an application to be
declared "administratively complete': description of the project and all project components, purpose and
need for the project,alternatives to the project,jurisdictional determination of waters of the U.S.within the
project area, habitat assessments of the impacted areas, draft mitigation plan, and other assessments
identified in this scope of work to describe the project and mitigate for impacts.
Task 1. Project Management
1) Develop and maintain a schedule which shows the critical path for the overall permitting process.
Update at least quarterly and provide to client and key permitting agencies as appropriate.
2) Participate in various meetings with multiple parties and stakeholders as follows:
a. Attend initial kickoff meeting with Wichita Falls and its legal advisors to review the
approach to permitting_Assume this meeting is virtual_
b. When requested by Wichita Falls, accompany Wichita Falls staff to up to 4 meetings with
regulatory agencies and/or stakeholders. such as Texas Parks and Wildlife Department
(TRAM,Texas Water Development Board, U.S.Fish and Wildlife Department(USFWS),
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Red River Authority of Texas, and Texas
Department of Transportation.
c_ Attend up to 10 progress review meetings with Wichita Falls staff. Some of these
meetings will be virtual.
3) Prepare implementation schedule with opinion of expenditures for permitting, design. and
construction.
Task 2. Coordination with USACE Tulsa District and other State.+'Federal Agencies
1) Accompany the City to a pre-application meeting with USACE Tulsa District staff in Tulsa. This
meeting will include an update to the USACE on the project, discussions of permitting activities,
project schedule,and discussions of field activities and other agency coordination.
2) Hold a 2-day field workshop with the USACE and other state and federal resource agencies at
the project site. Visit multiple habitat types, the Little Wichita River, and the dam site, pending
access.
3) Attend up to 4 additional meetings with the USACE in-person in Tulsa to discuss application
content,provide application status updates and discuss other project related topics_
4) Attend up to 6 teleconferences with the USACE and/or other agencies.
Task 3, Field Work for Reservoir Site
This effort will be conducted in phases with the jurisdictional determination conducted first, followed by
the habitat evaluations.Where possible the meld work will be coordinated to minimize multiple trips to the
same properties. (Note: All field work assumes land access is granted in a timely manner and field staff
have use of an off-road vehicle to access data collection points. If access is limited and field staff need to
walk across properties,the fee will be higher.)
1) Contact landowners for access for field work, including environmental (jurisdictional determination
and habitat assessments), pipeline routing, and archeological held studies.
a. If condemnation is needed for access,coordinate with City legal counsel.
2) Identify and delineate existing wetlands (Wetlands Jurisdictional Determination (JD)) using the
methods agreed upon by the USACE.
a. Review existing information on wetlands developed for the water right application and
update, as needed. Gather and review other readily available existing information such
as U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic maps, USGS National
Hydrography Dataset (NHD), USFWS National Wetlands Inventory(NWI) maps, Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) soils maps, as well as recent and historical
aerial photographs of the site.
b. Develop data collection methodology across the site to determine the locations and
extents of the wetlands within the project area. Coordinate access with the City and
landowners (see Item 1 above). Coordinate methodology with USACE and adjust
procedures,if appropriate,to efficiently delineate wetlands.
c_ Conduct field work to identify types and locations of existing wetlands. Prepare a map of
wetlands for use in the permitting process. The map(s) would be prepared using remote
sensing data with as-available ground-truthing, depending on land access. Incorporate
data into GIS data sets.
d. Prepare a Delineation Report that will be submitted with the 404 Permit application.
3) Conduct a site visit of the surrounding lands downstream of the project to determine downstream
impacts.This includes the 0_5 miles of the Little Wichita River and 1,000 feet downstream on the
Red River.
a. Document vegetation, cover types, and identify potential wetlands, if any, that may be
impacted due to the project.
b. Complete a Texas Rapid Assessment Method (TXRAM) condition assessment for
streams on the Little Wichita River between the proposed dam location to its confluence
with the Red River and 1,000 feet downstream on the Red River. (See proposed
methodology for streams below.)
c. Develop a technical memorandum on the potential downstream impacts.
4) Conduct conditional stream assessment using TXRAM.
a. Review existing information on streams and mapping developed for the water right
application and update, as needed_ Gather and review other readily available existing
information such as USGS 7.5-minute topographic maps, USGS NHD, NRCS soils maps,
as well as recent and historical aerial photographs of the site.
b. Coordinate access to properties in conjunction with the JD analyses (see Tasks 1 and 2
above). If access is granted for properties that were inaccessible during the water right
field efforts, conduct field work to confirm types and locations of existing streams. (Note:
this effort will be done with the condition assessment in Task 4c below). Update the
mapping of streams for use in the permitting process. The map(s) would be prepared
using remote sensing data with as-available field data, depending on land access.
Available data will be incorporated into GIS data sets.
Page 2nf7
c. Develop a fiekf work plan based on the approved assessment methodology with
concurrence of the USACE_ Conduct a condition assessment of streams within the
project area using an agreed-upon methodology that best fits project applications, such
as a modified version of the TXRAM 2.0 for streams. The condition assessment will be
used to evaluate the potential impacts and mitigation requirements for project activities. If
the USACE requires additional information to provide an Approved Jurisdictional
Determination (AJD) or additional condition/functional assessment methods to determine
impacts,the scope and budget for such further efforts will be determined later.
d. Analyze the results of the field data collection and develop a technical memorandum on
the findings.
5) Review and update limited desktop archeological potential study of the proposed reservoir site
conducted for the feasibility study(See attached Archeological Investigation Scope of Work)
a. Consult with the Texas Historical Commission and review available information regarding
potential archeological impacts of Lake Ringgold and prepare a plan for additional
archeological investigations based on Texas Archeological Research Laboratory (TARL)
database review for the project study area.
b. Based on the desktop analysis conduct a limited field study of the high potential areas for
archeological sites_ Verify known historic and pre-historic sites. (Note: the USACE may
require a more comprehensive archeological survey of the project lands purchased in fee
simple prior to issuing the 404 Permit Such lands would include, but not be limited to the
dam, reservoir pool, maintenance facilities areas, mitigation areas, etc_The completion of
archeological investigations, including testing and data recovery, will be required as a
condition of the 404 Permit. This scope of work and fee do not include the more
comprehensive survey.)
c_ Develop a technical memorandum of the findings for inclusion in the 404 Permit
application.
r i Conduct the following habitat evaluations:
a. Aquatic and Wetland Habitats: Using the data collected for the Jurisdictional
Determination and streams:
(1) Conduct a condition assessment of wetlands utilizing the TXRAM 2.0 for wetlands to
assist in the assessment of impacts and evaluation of mitigation requirements. if the
USAGE requires additional information to provide an Ad!7 or additional
condition functtona1 assessment methods to determine impacts, the scope and
budget for such further efforts wiii be determined later.
b. Terrestrial: Verify and update cover types developed for the water right permit based on
data observed during jurisdictional determination and new land access areas.
(1) Review aerial photography of project area and identify any changes in habitat cover
types andior extents.
(2) Using the same field locations and habitat evaluation tool (HEP) used for the water
right, field verify select locations_ If a cover type HIS score is more than 0.15 points
higher from the score for the water right, conduct updated HEP field studies on all
previously identified sites for the respective cover type. For cover types that do not
exceed the 0.15-point threshold, retain the scores used for the water right
c_ Analyze results and develop field technical memoranda with the findings_
Task 4, Pipeline Routing Study and Field Work
1) Conduct a feasibility study to determine the pipeline route for the 404 Permit application. The two
options are: 1) deliver water directly to the City, and 2)deliver water directly to Lake Arrowhead.
For both options, perform the following:
Page 3417
a. Identify intake location at darn and approximate size.
