HNTB Corporation Groundwater Faciliities Assessment SCOPE OF SERVICES BackQround• HNTB And Balance Hydrologics met with Terry. Greene on Wednesday 9/10 to investigate two City wells at the Blackberry Farm Retreat Center, 21975 San Fernando Ave; Cupertino. The City has three wells on the property and wee looked at wells #2 and #3 (well #1 is located at the Stocklmeir Orchard and was not included in the field visit). Both wells appeared to be infiltration galleries. adjacent to Stevens Creek and are located on "Map 2 Distribution System" in Appendix B of the Irrigation Alternatives Report (HNTB, September 200. Well #3 is located furthest upstream and had bc;en a source for the Monte Vista Water Company prior to its purchase by the City of Cupertino. The coffer dam for the existing channel restoration project (Phase lA) is located next to the well. Depth to water was 7.5 feet and total depth of the well approximately 2'.6 feet from ground surface (measured by sounder/tape). The water in the well was cleaz and had a specific conductance (SC) of 500 umhos/cm @ 18 degrees C. SC of the creek was 41 O umhos/cm @ 18 degrees C. The well was set up with several large pumps and historically when operating possibly pumped greater than l 000 gallons per minute (gpm). It seems very likely that the well is functional at rates proposed for temporary watering of native plantings (approximately 400,000 gallons irrigated during the season). This is equivalent to a rate of about 3 gpm if pumped 12 hours per day for half the year. Regarding effects to Stevens Creek from pump=ing the well, if the stream is flowing at 3 cubic feet per second (cfs), then a pumping rate of 3 lpm would be 0.2 percent of the stream flow, less than the accuracy of a stream flow measurement. If the City were to pump the well at .such a low level, then we suggest simply notifying SCVWD, as they are a sponsor the creek restoration project. Beyond that, Barry Epstein at Fitzgerald Abbott 8z Beardsley LLP might be helpful for water rights counsel. His phone number is 510-451-3300 and email is bepstein@fablaw. com. Well #2 is located downstream neaz the Snack ;ihack and pool restrooms and served as a source for Blackberry Farms Recreation Park. 'The well is reported to have a 125 foot lateral casing extending southwest, 50 feet from the creek bank and 30 feet deep (see Irrigation Alternatives Report attachments). The well was previously set up to pump 300 gallons per minute. The water in the well appeared stagnant when we looked at it. We measured a depth to water of 12.5 feet from ground surface, a tot<<1 depth of 34 feet deep. SC was 700 umhos/cm @ 17 degrees C. . Well #1 is located the fiirthest downstream at the Stocklmeir property orchard, and is thought to have been damaged by earthquake in the past:. Although it was not visited at the field reconnaissance meeting on 9/1 O, Balance was subsequently requested by the City to pump test this well iil addition to Well #2. GW Facilities Assessment Scope 11-12-08 Page 1 of 2 ~ Printed 11/12/2005 HIVTB Corporation The City has arranged for Ferma to install a pump with a flow meter on Monday September 15th with intention to pump' it and discharge water to the restored channel during re-wetting. The objective of the pumping would be a) simply to see if the well can be p~xmped without going dry, b} to assess a potential pumping rate for the well, and c) assess the quality of the water pwmped from the well. We suggest pumping the well at a reasonably high constant rate (100+ gpm) for a minimum of 72 hours while monitoring drawdown in the well Scope of Work: • Balance and HNTB will attend one weld reconnaissance meeting with the City. • Balance will install datalogging equipment in the two wells (Well #1 and Well #2) to monitor water level and conductivity (SC). Balance will manually measure depth to water and SC on the first day of pumping. • Balance will provide the City with an electronic sounder to measure depth to water each morning and afternoon-while pumping; (measurement/recording by I-IIVTB). • After 72 hours of pumping, Balance will collect a water quality sample for general mineral analysis and turn off the pump. Balance/I-lTl'TB field personnel will meatsure depth to water during initial water level recovery and leave datalogger to record for 72 hours. Balance will provide interpretation of results and a letter report to the City within 5 working days from completion of the pump test on the two wells (or receipt of notice to proceed, whichever is first). • Balance and HNTB will attend one follow up meeting with the City if requested; no additional meetings are included in this scope of work. Deliverables: - Data from Well #1 and Well #2 pump test attached to letter report interpreting results. Schedule: - Reconnaissance meeting on Wednesday 9/10, pump test beginning Monday 9/I S through approximately 9/17 GW Pacilities flssessment Scope 11-12-08 Page 2 of 2 Printed-12/12/2008 OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK CITY HALL '10300 TORRE AVENUE • CUPERTINO, CA 9504-3255 TELEPHONE: (408) 777-32:?3 • FAX: (408) 777-3366 GUPERTINO November 20. 2008 1=INTB Corporation C/O John Litzinger 1735 Technology Drive, Suite 600 San Jose, CA 95110 To Whom It May Concern: Enclosed for your records are three copies of fully executed agreements with the City of Cupertino.
