Summary & Background:
Scope of Work: This contract with Integrated Science Engineering, Inc., provides water quality monitoring and related services necessary to comply with Fulton County's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits for Wastewater Treatment, which require water quality monitoring in support of the Watershed Protection Plan. The scope of work includes stream water quality monitoring and the collection of samples for laboratory analysis. The data collected must be submitted to the state Environmental Protection Division by June 15th of each year for the County to remain in permit compliance with the State of Georgia.
Community Impact: Water quality monitoring provides the necessary data to determine if Fulton County’s efforts to reduce pollution in receiving streams and rivers are effective. This data is provided to the State of Georgia to assist in developing the capacity of receiving streams to accept treated water discharges.
Department Recommendation: The Department of Public Works recommends approval.
Project Implications: Water quality monitoring is a regulatory requirement of the County’s National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits and wastewater discharge permits. Without this contract, the program would be negatively impacted, and the County might be in violation of its permits, which could expose the County to fines and possible criminal prosecution.
Community Issues/Concerns: No issues/concerns were raised by the community concerning this contract.
Department Issues/Concerns: Public Works staff did not raise any issues or concerns regarding the award of this contract.
