Overview
Un January 24, 2007 Superintendcnt Brian I3enze) made a preliminary rccommrndation tu the
SpokAnc Public Schools I3oerd af Directors regarding the clagurc of Pratt Flcmentary School.
Siudent enroltment has becn doclining district-wide t'or many years duc to a varicty of factors. in
lighi uf this declining onnollmcnt, the School district's annual rcvcnuc has also bccn decreasing.
Couplod with significant under-funding in BasiC Educatian programs by the State oF Washington,
this has creatEd an anticipatcd $10.5 million budget shortfall for the 2007-08 budget year.
The Districl desires to (imit Qtu impact to teaching and Icaming progmms, and to maintain a sa!'e,
high-quality cduuitinnal rnvironment while aGhicving a balanced budgei. Reducing the currcnt
number of e[ementary school facilities will rzduce ongoing apetating avethcad , and is a key
component in die effort to preserve grograms. The reduction will, however, cause us tu redrgw
-suroe schooi attcndance boundnries.
The Superinteiident's preliminary recommendation was bnsed on the fact that Prait cumently has
the smallest student enmllment of any clrmcntary school in the district; and is thercfnrc the
elernentary schonl with the higliest cost per studetri srrvrd. This determinntion came nbout, in
purt, thraugh the work undcrta}:en in the 2003 Schaol Utilizaiion Study, which has previously
Gcen shared with the Citi•u,ns Advisary Committee (CAC), as well a.ti thmugh more recent
'f evaluatians :und enrollment projections.
11
Includes.l within the SuperintendenYs preliminary tccommendatinn was a call for an inter-
dcpartmentai taskforce of disUict sttiffto invrstigatc the impact to surmunding schools and
special prograzns, pruvide specific new attcndance zone recommendations for the Pratl students,
nnd rqurt anticipated district savings with the closure of Pratt Elemcntury. Fstimating the initial
cost, and ongoing savings, of nlvcating the district's special cducation assessment staff from
their present (easrd locntion on Cast '1'rent (Tttic Ccnter), to the [lratt site, was alsa ta bc
documented within this report. This report was ro be provided to the 13oard of Directots at their
1=ebruary 28, 2007 mceting.
I'he'I"askfome investignting the recammendation of'clusing I'rait Etementary School wtis
comprised of repmsec►tatives frvm Z'eaching snd L.rarning Sc:rvices, 5tudent Services. }luman
Resources, Hacility Serviers, Safety and Security, Transpcirtaiioa. nnd Nuc3gat and Acutianting.
Thc task forcc was askrd to uggrcgaie the existing data, discuss the chal{enges, prvpose solutions,
end cummunicato the Gndings in regard tu this closune rzcommendation, as well su the relocation
of approximately 230 studrnts fmm the Prau nttcndanc.c zonc: to oiher district faciGties.
'Che "['nskforce studying the Superintendent's prcliminary rmcamniendation his fnllowed the
approach established during the 2003 School UtiliTntion Study, in order to independently verify
the validity of the SuperintendcnYs recommendation. This process, and the outcomc, will also bc .
documented within the bndy uf this study.
It shauld be noted thet evcry memher of the committee was conscious thnt the reuommcnd.itions
that wauld cutite out of this study Nvould huve a direct impact to studettts, stafF, parenL~,
guardians, and the surruunding community. Spccial diligencc and effort has been taken to
maximine the safety, security, aiid rrlucatinnal needs of the students, while mittimizing disruption
to familie; aisd canimunitici.

Schoal Closurc History
While it hns tx-en many years since Spoknne F'ublic Schools has closed an active school building,
historicafty ctosures have occurred on a rcgular basis. Between 1970 xnd taday the District has
ctused 14 schants (see chart bClaw). Those closure decisions wcre based on enrollment and
demagraphic needs and projectians, the wndition uf the structure and infcastructurc. Futd the
changing nee& of educafional pm~,u-atn delivcry. Demographic and cnmtlmcnt paitertts change
over time, as dnes the quality of fucilitics as bui{dings age, get replaced, or are reaovaled.
Thcreforc, this type of study shauld be undcrtaken on a regular ITasis, to cnsure cffecuve use of
tar dollars in oFxraiing our school facilitirs.

Fitter six reviews the cost oi'praviding services to children at the remnining Icxatians bc:ing
considered for closure, and campares these costs on an Rnnual FiT basis. Costs w-ere totaled for
the salaries and beneGts packages of the staff members assigned to a pnrticular locaiion for the
cument ycar. Non-i:mplaycr Related Costs (►vrERCs), suGh as supplics, materinls, utilities, and
maintenance costs, were tvWled fnr the last three years, and an annual averagc cost established.
Thc Taskforcc rcviewed four diffetznt mcthods of analyzing this data: l) l'otal cost of sularies
and benefits of the ac;tual sta['f working at each locafion (sec Tt+btc No. 6 below); 2) Total of the
average salruy and benefits package for ench classification uf staff type - this method eliminates
the poteatial disadvantage of having a morc seniar staff at n ptuiicular location; 3) Tutal rost uf
the nctual salaries, benefrts, and NEItCs for each facility (see Tablc No. 7 beluw); and 4) ToUaI
cost of the average salary and benefits for staft; added tn thc actusl N(:RCs far each facility. The
inclusion of faur diffcrent methuds uf analysis was undertaken to avoid utili•r.inA a singlc mcthod
that cauld potentially he biayod against a particular site.
In all cases the highest cost per FI'G was repnrted at the samc faur schools. ln all cases the single

twn factors provide us some guidance in determining whedier the curmnt enroilment numbers and
psiDerns are likely to change drastically in the near futum.
Siaff widiin tbe District's Facility Services deparnnent c:antinually monitors Federal. State,
County, and City census data. This data is also utili7,cd by aur District's Analytical Services -taft'
for enrollment pnojectians. The Facility Services department's ptanning staff also receives a
variety of notifications frum the City of Spakane, City of Spukane Vulley, and Spokene County.
Ihcse notitications include 'Requcst for Commcnts' and 'Environmental lmpact Statements' that
are part uf the approval proccss for nny potcatial develapmrnt. Thesc notificatians are ontcred
into a database, plottrd using MapPoint or Gaogle Earth Professional, and are cluscly monitared
as they progress through the variaus stages of approval and/or development.

Another factor that must be takcn intu ar.count when projecting the likely im}sact uf upcnming
devclopment on enroltmont is the value of the propertv. Quite simply, the more cxpcasivc the
devetopmeni, thc fewer elementar►+ abc studcnts it is likcly to produce. T'his is betieved to be due
to the fact that many home buyers looking for high-mid to upper-end propenies are typically
older and their children are most often alncady past thc elementary age. Additionally, the buyen
in this dcmographic are waitinrt langer to liave childmn, and are having fewer children than has

7Therecommended changes in attcndancc areas would result in a prLijected 2007-08 enrvliment ~
for Shcricictn of 478 (October 2006 enrullmcnt plus current Pratt students bc;ing miocated ta
Sheridan aitendance area). However, given the changes that take placc from year ta year, and also ~
within sny given schail year, die projected enroilmcnt should be within ttie range ot4 80 and 510
at SheridAn 1-1-1ementary. The maximum desimd capacity of Sherician Elementary is 547.
The recommendcd changes in attendance arew would resuit in a projected 2007-08 enrollment
for [.incoln !-(cights of 512 ((ktober 2006 enroliment plus current I'ratt students being relacaiod
to Lincoln Heights Attendanr,c area). Hnwever, given the changes that take plac.c trom year to
year, nnd alsa within uny given schcwl y-ear, the pmjected cnrollment should he within the tunge
af between SUO and 530 at Lincoln Fieights Elcmentarv. I-he miLximum d"ire(i capacity of
I.incaln Hciglits is 577.
'Chere is, thrrCforc, sufficicnt cupacity at both facilitirs for additiunal ciirollment growth. !t should
be nated, however, that if full-day kindergnrtrn is implementeci at either of these locatians within
the ncxt Cew years there may be some adjustment of attcndunce nrea boundaries required if that is
coupled wich significant additianal c•nrullment growth. There ara a number of possibilities for
rninor adjustments to the attendanr.e areas for both these schoals that wuuld rreate the nccessaly
capacity for a11-day kindergarien al thrse facilitie5.
Equitable Educutianal Progrsims
The et3ect that ttie proposed closurc of Pratt Elementary witl have on the ciis[rict's
c:duratianal prugram offerings is ncgligible. "The required educational programs and
offerings available to current studenis at k'ratt are available al other clc:mentxry schcx)l,,_
inc(uding the proposed `mceiving' schcwls: Lincoln Heights and Sheridan. Therefore,
there would be no negativc impact on currenl Pratt students in termy of educational
program offerings. [n addition, there would be no impact an class sir.es at Sherid:~n or
Lincoln [ iciehts due io the relocation of students from the Pratt attendance area.

schnol district, including most employees currently atisigned to Pmtt Elementary.
Typically, whea staffmembers current positions are no Innger available at a scttool, the impscied

Mission Statement
The lnfematrona! Trade Alrrancs providss leadersHi,a in connecting !nland Northwesf busincssos ►vifh gtobaf markets +vnife provrdrng; resources to
Qnharrce awaranoss and compGPrtivaness.
Everywhere rre tum, we see the effects of a worid made much smaller through advanced teclmology, increased cultural evrareness and
expanded disbursement of knovrledge. Our abflity to function, both socialty and professionally, is dependent upon our real'2atian that we live in a
global soaety that is rnuch larger than the Inland Northwest and even the United 5tatas.
It has become vitaliy important for companies to explore the »ossibility of iniemational trade. Trade is no longer just for largor companies. It is for
virtually any company, regardless of size, that has a product or service to market end s desire to expand. How can the International Trade Alliance help you?
As the region's only non-profit organization exclusively facussd on intemational businoss, the Intemational Trade Alliance (ITA) connects
regfonal oompanies with marisets worldwide. It partners with business, govemment and ather organizations to increase interrtational trade in this
region.
The ITA opEns doors to internatconal business opportunities through sn extensive, esEablished network of domestic and foreign relationshfps with
blic and private organ'rzateons. It conducts trade missions and hosts foreign visitors interested in establishing stronger tios tivith Intand
.rorthwest firms.
"Inland Northwost companies serious about grotivth know that signific9nt new opporiunities exist in the global maifcetptace," says Roberta
grooke, I7A Executive Direcfor. "We have established relaUonshfps that allow us to oonnecR businesses at home with decasion-makers
worbdwide."
The Inland Northw2st 2verages more than $447 million in non-agricuitural, non-senriCe exports each year. (Source: U.S. Dopt. of Commerce)
Spokane-area companies also rely on the ITA as the region's go-to resource for the information necossary to doing business fn the global .
marlcetplace, accessing knovrledge and oxportiso that saves companies time and expense. 7he I7A's proficiencies span the fufl range of
internsGonal business topics, providing acoess to extensnre services and assistance programs.
A large portion of the ITE1 mission is to assist businesses vrith developing a marketing plan. The planning procoss indudes conduGfing market
research to match markets with the company's product or service. •
As an informaEion clearinghouse, the ITA helRs oompanies solve problems, overcome barriers and identify opportunities. These benefits are
especialty important to the smaq- and mid-sized companies that dominate the Inland Northvrest economy.
"In foreign marfcets, Vade organizations like the I7A and govemment conduits have high recognifion and value," says eill Hogoboom of Jones
Double Reed, which tapped the ITA's expertise to expand its reed manufacturing business into Europe. "Their credibility and established
nehvorks opened doors that would have taken me months to find independently.' .
Formed in 1996 as a public-private partnership, the ITA is an economic development tool that helps Inland Northvrest firms capture aompetiiive
advantages in the global marftettplace. It plays a leading role in promoSng regional infrastruclure improvements thai encourage broader
intemational trado, and is dedicated to helping Inland Nor4hvresi residents unders4and the significant econamic benefits of increasing
intemational Uade and globalizalion.
• e goal of the 11'A is to establish foreign relationships, nehvork with domestic and foreign trade associates, and create Ues to govemmant.
Justry, and cultural organizations.
The ITA has built a strong foundetion of financial support from both the public and private sQCtors, and provictes seivioas to members in 12 counties that reach awide range of business sectors. hAembers indude such companies as Avista, Itronix, Bank of America, Itron, WagstaH,

Jones IaoublQ Reed, Lee & Hayes PI.LC, UnitEd Coatings, Kim Hotstart, Spokane International AirpoR, and Whitvrorth College. Inland Morthtivest
ITA partners include the Ciry of Spokane, Washington State GTED, Ciry of Spokane Vel3ey, Spokane County and the City of Liberty Lake.

The ITA measures its impact through thc sucoess of msmber firms campeting in intemational markets. Kim Hotsfart, which manufactures pre-
heaters that keep diesel-powered engines v:arm and ready to slart, is one exampte. Locomot+ves, emergency generators and other large pieoes
of equipmenE save fuel expenses and reduoe pollution with such devices. Kim Hotstart executives tumed to tho ITA for assistance to expand lhe
firm's internaiional presence.
`MeeGng with other Spokane-based businesses doing intemational trade through lhe ITA is particularly helpful as wall, because it creates a
strong nehvork and professional association of peoplE who are in our business, alihough noi necessarily our industry," says Trond Liaboe,
Intemational hlarket h4anager for Kim Hotstart. "IYs import2nt that the ITA is pufting international business on the table because iYs one of the
keys to helping this region prosper economicalty.'

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Amendment to animal control regulations
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 7.30 and SVMC 7.35
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The Council amended the City's dangerous dog
regulations in advance of these changes earlier this year. At that time, staff advised the Council
that #hese additional changes would be made.
BACKGROUND: The attachments to this RCA represent a renumbering of two chapters from .
Spokane County Code to the numbering protocol utilized by the City. At the City's date of
incorporation, the City adopted County Code sections 5.04 regulating dogs and cats, and 5.12
regulating inherently dangerous mammals and reptiles. As you know, the City has a contract
with SCRAPS to provide animal control. A requirement of the contract is that the City adopt
County code provisions for animal control.
As the Council may recall, a change in state law around the time we incorporated required the
~i City to adopt its own appeal provisions for dangerous dog cases. As a result of that, it made
little sense to have a portion of the City's animal regulations in County Code, and part in City
Code. City staff has been working on this conversion. Additionally, City staff has been working
with County staff to work on a general clean up and update of the code provisions for the benefit
of both entities. We are attempting to keep our Code provisions as close to the County's as we
can for ease of use by the SCRAPS staff under the contract.
My intent on the redline versions as they move forward is to show you in this first touch all of the
changes from what the County has notiv. On the second touch, it would show any revisions the
Council has, in addition to the changes noted in the first touch. For the second reading,
everything proposed to be the new regulations will be in redline, since it will all be new in the re-
numbered system and as our Code.
Please note that these drafts also have highlighting on text that pertains to fees of any kind. All
referencss to fees will be removed and placed in the Master Fee Schedule concurrent with the
final adoption of the amendments identified herein.
OPTIONS: Approve as drafted, or instruct staff to make additional changes.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Council consensus to place an ordinance on an
upcoming Council agenda for a first reading
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Anticipated to be revenue neutral. '

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY
- Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: April 3, 2007 City Manager Sign-off:
Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information X admin. report ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Ordinance amending logo code provisions.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 1.06.030(A)(6)
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Adoption of Spokane Valley Ordinance 06-013.
BACKGROUND: The City adopted provisions relating to City logo usage in 2006. In doing so,
the Code identifies at SVMC 1.06.030(A)(6) that Purrfect Logos is approved by Council for
producing logo wear clothing at the request of the City. Staff now recommends removing any
reference to a specific business that is authorized to produce such merchandise. Instead, staff
recommends that SVMC 1.06.030(A)(6) be amended to identify that the City Manager has
authority to choose an entity to produce such merchandise.
~
OPTIONS: Leave the code provision as is; make additional changes.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Council consensus to place this ordinance on the
next Council agenda for a first reading.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: N/A

` Foundational Concepts for the Spokane River TMDL Managed Implementation Plan -
. June 30, 2006 The Spokane River does not have enough dissolved oxygen (DO) during the months of
April through October to meet current Water Quality Standards. The best available
science shows that excess phosphorus is the main cause of this problem. There is
agreement among those who petitioned Ecology in 2004, other interested parties and Ecology that actions are needed as soon as possible to improve the River's condition,
and, by assuring treatment capacity for septic tank discharges, further protect the
quality of the Spokane Valley - Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer: Low dissolved oxygen also
results from carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD) and ammonia. For the
purpose of implementing the Spokane River Dissolved Oxygen TMDL, it is assumed
that efforts to control phosphorus will also serve to control CBOD and ammonia.
Reducing significant amounts of phosphorus in the River during the April-October season and achieving VVater Quality Standards for dissolved oxygen are the goals of
the Spokane River Dissolved Oxygen TMDL Managed Implementation Plan (MIP).
In the October 2004 Draft Total Maximum Daily Load to Restore and Mainfain Dissolved
_ Oxygen in the Spokane River and Lake Spokane (Long Lake), Ecology estimated a
reduction target of approximately 208 pounds/day of phosphorus from point sources,
- .%non-point sources and other controllable sources. Most of this reduction is anticipated
to come from improvements in point source wastewater treatment technology located
between the Idaho state line and the Lake Spokane Dam. .
The best available science conclusively demonstrates significant phosphorus reductions
will improve DO in the River and Lake Spokane. How the River will respond to
signficant phospho~us reductions, the full extent of the reductions necessary to alleviate
DO defciencies, and the phosphorus reductions possibfe over the next 20 years are not
precisely clear at this time. Hence, an aggressive, managed approach that removes
phosphorus from a variety of sources through a variety of inethods and monitors and
assesses the impacts on DO over the next 20 years is a reasonable way to maximize
the effectiveness of the sizable invesfinents necessary to improve the-River.
Capsule Summary of Approach '
Currently there is not well-established technology that can reliably treat a variety of
wastewater discharges and achieve the River phosphorus (evels required to improve
DO sufficiently to meet Water Quality Standards. 7here is, however, technology that
significantly reduces phosphorus from effluent and that can bring current discharges
much closer to the levels required by UVater Quality Sfandards. The Spokane River
. Collaboration refers to the difference between what technology improvements can achieve- and the TMDL levels to meet Water Quality Standards as "the Delta."
.l _ . .
vz, . ~ .
The MIP provides reasonable assurance that Water Quality Standards can be achieved ~
during the first ten years of MIP effort by installing the most effective feasibie ~
phosphorus removal treatment technology and completing a planned and schedufed
group of actions aimed at eliminating the Delta. The foundational concepts described
here will begin guiding TMDL implementation wtien accepted by Ecology and affected
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit holders.
While phosphorus reductions from technology improvements and other actions can be
. estimated, their true impact on DO requires actual implementation experience and .
resultant measurement of DO levels in the River and Lake Spokane. The first ten years
of MIP efforts need to.be in place and operational prior to their consequencss being fully assessed. A thorough assessment after the 10th year of the MIP will provide the
inforrnation necessary to guide actions for a second ten year MIP period. These second
period actions will include continuation of successful actions conducted in the first 10
years, such as operation of the treatment technology and other permanent phosphorous
reduction efforts, and they could include new actions such as consideration of river
oxygenation and/or reconsideration of Water Quality Standards applied to the River and
Lake Spokane. The MIP's actions*necessary to eliminate an NPDES permit holder's
Delta will be enforceable over the 20 yea~ life of the MIP and the TMDL phosphorous
waste load allocation will become enforceable requirements at the end of the 20 years
covered by the MIP. .
During the,MlP term, the NPDES permits applicable to individual dischargers will
include interim limits and other requirements as described below in the section titled
"NPDES Permif Cycle."
Ecology Wi!! Complete the Dissolved Oxygen TMDL Consistent with
the Foundational Concepts .
The foundational concepts in this document are the result of substantial deliberation by
the Spokane River Collaboration. This effort placed completion of the Draft TMDL "on hold" prior to its-being made final and submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency
for review. Ecology will re-draft the Draft Spokane River Dissolved Oxygen TMDL to .
include a MIP consistent with the principles described here. The re-draft will be subject
to the same public review process and administrative procedures used for the earlier '
Draft TMDL. As well, Ecology will continue to work on a government-to-government ,
basis with the Spokane Tribe of Indians to ensure compliance with downstream Tribal water quality'standards. ' ' . Waste Load A/location Targefs A TMDL requires waste load allocations (WLA) for the affected NPDES permit holders.
These targets, expressed in concentrations.in the draft TMDL, will'be slightly reyised in
the re-drafted TMDL to reflect upstream.permitting in Idaho and an April-October rather
than June-October critical period (see the boxed table on page 24, Draft Total Maximum
Dailv Load to Restore and Maintain Dissolved Oxv4en in the Saokane River and Lake
Spokane. October 2004). The total phosphorus concentrations; as allocations in the
TMDL rounded to the nearest microgram will remain 10pg/l.._
v21 2
In the MIP, however, the 10 pg/l total phosphorus targets will be expressed as pounds
af phosphorus discharge in the River based on the discharge volume estimates , established through the Collaboration. The translation from concentration to pounds of
phosphorus forms the basis for measuring success in meeting each phosphorus waste .
load allocation target under the MIP. Success in meeting the pounds of phosphorus
target will be achieved by the installation of the most effective feasible phosphorus
removal treatment technology and implementaiion of other phosphorus reduction
actions that together result in the net pounds of phosphorus discharged to the River by
the dischargers being equal to or less than the target pounds. The following table
shows the pounds per day phosphorus targets for each Washington State NPDES
permit holder as they will be expressed in the MIP based on projected flows for 2017
and 2027 using estimates produced through the Spokane River TMDL Collaboration.

, The "(Ibs/day)" numbers listed above will be 'used as the target pounds to determine
each NPDES permif ho(der's Delta. An NPDES permit holder's Delta is the actual
pounds of phosphorus discharged per day minus the target pounds. NPDES permit
(imits wiif be based on a seasonal average with appropriate daily, weekly, and monthly
. limits that recognize the uncertainties and start-up complexities of new treatment technology. .
The 2017 phasphorus targets are goals during the first ten years of the MIP. These
phosphorus targets will not be binding during the first ten years so as to allow
assessment of the beneficial impact on DO from al! MIP-related technology • _
improvements and phosphorus reduction actions initiated during this time, and to allow
vz1 3
measurement of the actual Delta reduction by the dischargers based on experience. By
the end of the 20" year, NPDES permit holders are required to be in compliance with j
the phosphorus WLA in the right hand column of the chart above.
Once an NPDES permit holder demonstrates reliable ability to continually meet its
target, either by treatment technology or technology combined with actions to eliminate
the Delta, that permit holder will have met its responsibilities for meeting waste load
allocations as expressed in either the MIP or the TMDL.
Aggressive efforts, initiated as quickly as possible, to reach the targets during the fir$t
ten year pe.riod of the MIP are required. These efforts will include both phosphorous.
removing treatment technology upgrades and a suite of other phosphorus reducing
actions from the list of °target pursuit actions" described below.
Some aggressive programs to meet phosphorus targets may be conducted jointly by
several dischargers. These efforts need to result.in assignment of reduced pounds of
phosphorus to individual dischargers because dischargers must meet individual targets.
A trading program of dischargers' demonstrated surplus phosphorus may be .
implemented consistent with EPA guidelines pending Ecology's verification of any
surplus phosphorus offset pounds. .
As part of the implementation of the MIP, each National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System permit holder in Washington State covered.by the Spokane River Dissolved
Oxygen TMDL,will,.in accord with the section titled "Schedule ofActivities," prepare a ~
technology selecfiion protocol and an Engineering Report with construction schedule for
the treatment technology improvements the permit holder intends to install. The permit
holder will also prepare a Delta elimination plan with.a schedule of target pursuit actions
(see details below).that, in combination with the technology improvements, provide
reasonable assurance the April-October phosphorus target will be achieved in the first
10 years of the MIP. The ways these targets and associated requirements will be
reflected in each NPDES permit is explained in the section below titled "AIPDES Pe►mit
Cycle." _ . '
Target Pursuit Actions
Target pursuit actions are tfie steps that are either required or available for NPDES
permit holders to both upgrade their technology and eliminate their Delta within the first
10 years of the iV11P in order to provide reasonable assurance of ineeting targets. The
target pursuit actions may be modified as a result of the 10'h Year Assessment.
Dischargers without a Delta do not need to perform target pursuit actions for Delta elimination. .
Technology selection protocols and Delta-eliminating target pursuit actions will both be
initiated as soon as possible, and Delta-eliminating actions will not be deferred until
technology improvements are actually selected and installed. . . ` ~
vz1 4 .
Enforceable terms of each NPDES permit will include the obligation to meet the interim
or final effluent limit and the obligation to complete implementation of the target pursuit
actions, afthough the details of the target pursuit actions may be set forth in a separate
administrative order.
After the 10t" year of implementation, a thorough review (see the section titled "Tenth .
YearAssessment) will be conducted to determine what, if any, additional phosphorus
reduction actions are necessary, what actions should be continued or discontinued, and/or whether any changes to the phosphorus reduction goal in the TNIDL or the Water
Quality Standards for DO in the River and Lake Spokane are warranted. By the end of ,
the 20th year of the MIP, NPDES permit holders are required to be in compliance with
the then current TMDL phosphorus waste load allocations (the targets may have been modified as a result of the Tenth Year Assessment) to assure applicable Water Quality
Standards are being met. Reauired Actions: Required tar4et pursuit actions for each NPDES oermit holder with
a Delta.are as follows: -
• Technology Selection Protoco/: NPDES permit holders will prepare, and
submit to Ecology for approval, a comprehensive technology selection
protocol for choosing the most effective feasible technology for seasonally .
removing phosphorus from their effluent with an objective of achieving a
discharge with seasonal average 50Ng/I phosphorus or lower. If pilot testing
is a part of the protocol, there will be appropriate provisions for quaiity
_ assurance and control. The protocol will include a prefiminary schedule for
construction of the treatment technology.
• Delta Elimination Plan: In addition to the technology selection protocol,
NPDES permit hofders will also prepare and submit for Ecology's approval a .
Delta efimination pfan and schedule for other phosphorus removal actions
such as conservation, efffuent re-use, source control through support of
regional phosphorus reduction efforts (such as limiting use of fertilizers and
dishwasher detergents), and supporting regional non-point source control
efforts to be established. The plan, in combination with the phosphorus
reduction from technolagy, will provide reasonable assurance of ineeting the
permit holder's target in ten years. • Expedifious Decision: Ecology will expeditiously review and decide on the
proposed technology selection protacol, preliminary construction schedule and Delta elimination actions.
• Engineering Report: After a permit holder implements the technology _
selection protocol, the permit holder will prepare, and submit to Ecology for
approval, an Engineering Report concerning the chosen technology, including
any updates to the construction schedule. The Engineering Report will (if .
necessary) be accompanied by amendments to the schedule and substance
- of the target pursuit actions so that in combination with the Engineering
vzt 5
Report on expected- technology performance, there is reasonable assurance
of ineeting the target in ten years. Ecology will expeditiously review and ~decide on these submittals. .
o Interim Limits: When new treatment technology is installed, Ecology will set
interim phosphorus permit limits based on the engineering reports. It is
recognized that, because modem phosphorus removal technology is
challenging, achieving normal, and routine operation may require finro years,
assuming average seasonal conditions (temperature and flow) during both
years. During this period, Ecology will recognize these conditions and their
effects on compliance with interim discharge limits.
• Final Limits:Final limits applicable durjng the remaining term of the MIP will
be set based on the actual performance of the technology installed and
operated at optimum reliable efficiency (see the section titled "1VPDES Permit
Cycle").
• Investment Stability: The- investment in phosphorus removal technology is
recognized by Ecology as having a 20-year life, and no significant
modifications or replacements of phosphorus removal facilities will be
required during the term of the MIP. Modifications fo installed technology that
best available data indicate would enhance phosphorus removal performance
and are efficient and cost-effective may be required. ~
•Conservation: Public NPDES permit holders, in cooperation with water
punieyors, will as soon as possible develop individual and regional programs
that reduce flows by funding "LOTT-style" indoor conservation efforts that
target 20% water conservation per household in older urban areas and 10% . water conservation per household in newer (post 1992) urban areas. These
programs will have local ordinances, avoided cost investment principles and
per connection expenditures similar to the LOTT program. To the extent *
these actions are demonstrated as reducing phosphorus loading to the river,
they will be recognized as contributing toward achieving phosphorus waste
load targets. • • Class A Effluent: Each publicly owned treatment plant covered by the
Spokane DO TMDL will, through their technology updates, produce effluent
meeting the Stafe of Washington Class A reclaimed water quality standards in
. place when the MIP takes effect. Available Actions: The followinq tarqet pursuit actions are not reauired of everv
NPDES permit holder with a Delta. The non-aoint source proqram, however, needs to
have sufficient participation_to achieve the TMDL-reauired phosqhorus reduction.
~
vz1 6
• Reclaimed Water: Publicly owned dischargers may seek to re-use the ,
Class A reclaimed water the.y produce as result of technology improvements.
All reasonable efforts to re-use and/or recharge the aquifer rather than
directly discharging it to the River, particularly in the April-October timeframe,
are strongly encouraged consistent with circumstances and opportunities. Ecology will work with each NPDES permit holder and the Washington State
Department of Health to prepare approvable permits that enable timely and
successful implementation of these opportunities. Specifically, Ecology . commits to the following: - ■ Ecology will assist in permitting re-use efforts by actively coordinating
' state permitting with the Washington State Department of Health.
■ Ecology will assist dischargers proposing re-use target pursuit actions
in assessing whether any water rights/qualify impairments might occur
and how any impairment might be addressed.
■ Any revisions of Washington State in Class A reclaimed water
guidelines or standards in place when the MIP takes effect will serve
as a basis for requesting Ecology's reconsideration of an NPDES
permit holder's approved target pursuit action plan that relies on re-use
target pursuit actions envisioned prior to the revisions.
■ To the exterit these water re-use actions are demonstrated as reducing
phosphorus loading to the river, they will be recognized as contributing .
toward achieving phosphorus waste load targets. • Regional Phosphorus Reduction Programs: Privately owned treatment
plants may participate with other NPDES permit holders in regional
phosphorus reduction programs, such as conservation (see above) and non-
point source control (see below). To the extent these actions are
demonstrated as reducing phosphorus loading to the river, they will be
recognized as contributing toward achieving phosphorus waste load targets.
• Bio-available Phosphorus: NPDES permit holders may seek to prove to ,
Ecology that a certain stable fraction of their phosphorus discharge is not bio-
available in the River environment for a time sufficient to consider it not
. reactive and not a nutrient source. If Ecology agrees, the pounds of
phosphorus that are not bio-available will be recognized as contributing - toward achieving the total phosphorus'waste load target. . • Source Control Programs: To the extent that source control actions to limit
phosphorus inputs through regulation of phosphorus-containing products and •
through enforced phosphorus-limiting pre-tr.eatment ordinances are
demonstrated as reducing phosphorus loading to the river, they will be . recognized as contributing toward achieving dischargers' phosphorus waste
`j, load targets. . vzi 7
o Regional Non-Point Source Reduction Program: Participating NPDES . --1
permit holders and Ecology will jointly fund and- implement a regional non- r_, f1
point source {NPS} phosphorus reduction program at $2 millionlyear. The
- program will begin in the second year of the MIP following completion of an
initial study (50% funded by Ecology) to determine the best.opportunities for ,
non-point phosphorus reductions.
The regional non-point source program will be designed to achieve the NPS
' phosphorus reduction identified in the TMDL and to contribute to the Delta
reduction efforts of the participants, as necessary. If sufficient reduction in
NPS phosphorus as determined by the 10th Year Assessment has not yet
' been achieved, the jointly funded and implemented regional NPS program will
. continue for the second 10 years of the MIP. The program will be closely managed by the oversight and coordination group
described below, and it wilJ be monitored to routinely identify cost-effective
strategies and verify actual phosphorus reductions. Resources could be
shifted to other more effective actions for phosphorus reduction by mutual
agreernent with Ecology. Successful phosphorus-reducing actions funded by
the NPDES permit holders through the NPS program will be recognized as
contributing toward achieving dischargers' phosphorus waste load targets.
• Septic Tank Elimination Program: Spokane County may submit to Ecology
information and calculations demonstrating the phosphorus removal impact _
on the Spokane River and Lake Spokane of its Septic Tank Elimination ~Program. Pending Ecology's expeditious review and decision regarding the
~information and calculations, the. County may, if Ecology approves, use the
pounds of phosphorus prevented from reaching the River and Lake Spokane*
through septic tank elimination as part of any needed offsets for the County's
new treatment plant (see the section titled "IVew County Treafinent PlanY').
Oversiaht and Coordination: The above taraet qursuit actions reauire careful
mbnitorinq and accountinq to assure aenuine phosahorus reductions and qroqer Delta
reductian recoQnition. The followina will occur:
, o Ecology and the discharger's will immediately collaborate to develop an
oversight and coordination group. The intent is to form a collaborative group
to oversee and.coordinate the required regional actions including, but not limited to, the NPS, monitoring, modeling, reporting and public outreach
programs, however the participating entities retain their individual authorities. .
Ecology and the dischargers will share in the administrative cost of #his group.
o The oversight and coordination group, in cooperation with Ecology, will .
manage the non-point source program described above.
~
. . ~
,
,i
• v21 8
% ~ •
i • The oversight and coordination group will implement a monitoring and
research program for the River to routinely track and evaluate the amount of
phosphorus removal, the impact of phosphorus reductions and associated
improvements on dissolved oxygen levels. Also, there will be additional
studies such as those concerning sediment oxygen demand, the efficacy of
• river aeration/oxygenation, and bio-availa6ility of phosphorus in discharges
and other areas that advance the understanding of and refine the science
concerning the River's heaith. Modeling capabilities for the River will also be
enhanced by gathering and including sediment oxygen demand data, noting
and examining episodic events that contribute to increased phosphorus
loading, and other relevant data and by considering current measurement of
minimum river flow as adjusted by regulation. Ecology and the dischargers
will share in the cost of implementing and operating this monitoring and
research program.
• Dischargers will prepare and submit annual reports to Ecology, describing
each discharger's performance of the target pursuit actions and any
measurable successes. For joint actions (such as the NPS Program), the
dischargers may provide a joint report. -
• Ecology will prepare annual performance reviews concerning the status of
agreed-upon, committed target pursuit actions described above. Every two
~ years Ecology, using monitoring information, v,rill prepare and present a report
and, in collaboration with the oversight and coordination group, conduct other
public engagement efforts regarding the River's health and the performance
and effects of the target pursuit actions described in the MIP.
o Ecology will address Avista Corporation's DO responsibilities through the 401
Certification process.
New Spokane County Treatment Plant
A new Spokane County treatment plant will be constructed to meet its phosphorus
allocation target through a combination of advanced treatment and other offsets that are
. in place and accepted by Ecology as effective as the plant begins routine, normal (i.e.,
beyond shakedown or start up) operations. As with the engineering reports and target
. pursuit action plans and schedules for NPDES permit holders, the County will submit to
Ecology for approval the County's engineering report for the plant showing how the
most effective, feasible phosphorus removal technology has been selected, and hbw
the offsets will be timely developed. At the time the plant begins normal, routine
operations, it is expected the combination of offset actions and the plant's treatment of
water to be discharged in the River'will together achieve compliance with 10pg/l .
, phosphorus. Consistent with NPDES requirements, the plant will be permitted by Ecology in order to
enable rapid conversion of septic systems to sewers consistent with the approved septic tank elimination program prior to the completion of the County plant. The County will
-
vz1 9
construct.the plant within the first 6 years of the MIP as the County's offsets from the
target pursuit actions are being developed and made operative. It is recognized that 'any phosphorous reduction actions selected by the County that rely on the plant '
achieving normal, routine operation for their full implementation (such as completing
septic tank hookups and/or water re-use) can still contribute to the County's offsets. It is -
further recognized that, because modern phosphorus removal technology is
challenging, achieving normal, and routine operation rnay require two years, assuming
average seasonal conditions (temperature and flow) during both years. During this ,
period, Ecology will recognize these conditions and their effects on compliance with
interim discharge limits. .
The County will also develop a comprehensive program for reclaimed water production,
re-use and aquifer recharge of effluent. This re-use program will be subject to the same
conditions described for other re-use target pursuit action plans described above.
10th Year Assessment Following the 10th year of the MIP there will be a major assessment of the plan's impact.
A collaborative process will be used to make determinations about the relevant actions
appropriate for the second 10 years of the MIP. The assessment will be a data-based,
objective review designed to assess: e The amount of phosphorous removed from the River by the actions taken to date
,compared to phosphorus reduction targets.
~
• The River response to those reductions and associated changes in DO.
e The necessity, if any, for further reductions in phosphorous, CBOD and ammonia
in order to achieve Water Quality Standards for DO.
• The likelihood of further phosphorous reductions occurring in the next 10 years of
the MIP if the actions begun in the first 10 years were continued.
o The set of actions that could be initiated in the next 10 years of the MIP that
would more likely than not result in further phosphorous reductions, if necessary,
to achieve DO Water Quality Standards for Lake Spokane.
• The reasonableness of pursuing these actions and/or the reasonableness of
pursuing other strategies such as Lake Spokane oxygenation and/or the
. appropriateness of modifying DO Water Quality Standards if continuing existing
or implementing additional phosphorous removal strategies will more likely than
not fail to improve DO sufficiently to meet existing DO Water Quality Standards.
..Particular attention will be given to Lake Spokane's hypolimnion (lowest) layer
where DO levels may be least likely to be significantly improved by upstream phosphorus reduction.
r
vz1 10
• Data and actions will be carefully reviewed to determine whether technology
improvements and target pursuit actions can resuft in the hypolimnian meeting
DO Water Quality Standards, whether lake oxygenation or other techniques may
be effective in improving DO and/or whether modified Water Quality Standards
for this layer are appropriate.
These decisions will be made consistent with the MIP Decision Diagram below.

This assessment will occur following the 10th year of the MIP. The assessment may
need to be extended if the timing of the installation of treatrnent technology has not
resutted in operation for a long enough time to produce sufficient data about river
conditions and DO response. If this occurs, the assessment would not be completed
until there has been at least 3 years of operation of all heatment technolagy upgrades
by all dischargers.
NPDES Permlt Cycle '
Four 5-year NPDES permit cycles are expected to be covered under the MIP.
CuRently, all four existing NPDES permits are under administrative extensions. Each of
the existing NPDES permits will be handled somewhat differently due to varying
conditions associated with each discharge.
In general, the NPDES permits will follow this sequence:
.
The permit is issued with effluent limits adjusted based
on perioRnance history. The permit will state the goal
of achieving an equivalent of an effluent phosphorus
concentration of 10pgl1 phosphorus by the end af the
following permit cycle (i.e., in 10 years) through a
cambination of phosphorus treaiment technology anci
target pursuit actions. Enforceable terms of each
I 2007 - 2011 NPDES permit will include the obllgation to meet the ,
effluent limit and the oblfgaGon to start, continue, ancl~, r
complete the target pursuit actions. The details of thc
target pursuit actions may be set forth in a separatu-
administrative order. The permit, depending on d:,te 4,
issue, may also specify dates for submitting a
technoiogy selection protacol and an Engineerir.,j
Report with an estimated construction schedule, all a`
described in the section titled "Taroet Pursuit Actions.
'

V., I
The petmit is issued with interim effluent limits takrng
effect with the completion of technology upgrades.
implemerttation of the phosphorus target pursuit actions
to reduce the Delta is continued during thfs permit cycle.
The permit will state the goal of achieving an equivalent
of an efflueM phosphorus conc,entration of 10Ng/l
phosphorus by the end of the permit cycie (i.e., in 5
years) through a combination of phosphorus treatment
technology and target pursuit actions. As in the first
Permit Cycle, anforceable terms of the NPOES pemiit
will inctude the obligation to meet the effluent limit and
the obligatlon to continue andlor comptete the target
pursuit actions. The details of ihe target pursuit actions
f I 2012 . 201 6 may be set forth in a separate administrative order. Ttie
intenm limits will be based on the Engineering Report
that provides Ecology with reasonable assurance that
an equivalent of en effluent phospharus concentration
of 10NglI phosphorus will be achieved by the end cf the
permit cycle. It is recognized that, because modern
phosphorus removal tectinolagy is challenging,
achieving normal and routine operation may require two
years, assumirtg average seasonal conditions
(temperature and flaw) dunng both years. During this
period, Ecology will recognize these conditions and their
effects on compliance with interim discharge limits
Operational characteristics fa tha newly installed
technology witl be assessed so thai final Ilmits can be
established.
The permit is issued with frnal effluent Ifmits based on
observed operational characteristirs. The pemnit wfil
reflect results of the 10'" Year Assessment. The penrinit
will state the goal of achieving an equivalent af an
effiuent phosphonls concentration of 10Ng/1 phosphorus
II I 2017 _?p2 1 through a cambination af phosphorus tr8atment
iechnology and target pursuit actions. As in the first
Permit Cycle, enforceable terms of the NPDES perr,!c
will include the obligation to meet the effluent limit r,
the obligation !o continue and/or complete the targ- ;
pursuit actiona. The details of ihe target pursuit ar.~ - >
may be set forth in a separate administrative anier.
The psrmit is issued with established flnal efftuent !ir
that, in combination with completed and continuing
IV 2022 - 2026 target pursuit actions, meet the final waste load
alfocations since they will be enforceable at the end of
the MIP.
A Gantt chart version of the anticipated permit cyctes for each existing NPDES permit
. holder plus the permit cycie for Spokane County is incfuded for illusfrative purposes as

Schedule of Activities to Initiate the MIP
Based on and consisient with the principles and foundational concepts in this
Agreement, several tasks need to be completed as the Spokane River TMDL and
accompanying MIP are made final.
These actions include the following:
• Re-drafting of the TMDL, completion of the MIP by Ecology, and submittal of the
final TMDL to EPA - target date 1/1/2007
• Submittal to Ecology of technology se{ection protocofs, Delta elimination plans
and treatment technology fmplementation schedule by each discharger - target
date 1 /1 /2007
• Creation of the oversight and caordination structure necessary to implement tfie
actions that will be conducted on a regional scale such as the operation of the
NPS and monitoring programs - target date 1/1/2007
Assuming the Faundational Concepts in this paper become an Agreement in
Principle that is endorsed by Ecology and the dischargers this summer, and the
TMDL is completed by Ecology and approved by EPA, it appears Nkely the first
permitting sequence and the start af the MIP's first ten year period could begin in
earty 2007. Ecology and the dischargers agree that local elected officials in the
Spokane area should share the lead with Ecology in developing the appropriate
oversight and coordination structure for overseeing the implementation of the MIP
aI1d SeCUr1119 tf'1@ Il@CC55afy I(?1rC-;1 ,c?ncy a11d rlifid1f1C,1 C~ITlll'ii(ilt~fl~ ~
sufficient to support it.
Applying the Foundatianal Concepts, Ehe Agreement in Principle does not requirt
any party to engage in any future action or make any subsequent decision in
violation of established rules and procedures for engaging in such actions or making
such decisions. Nothing in this document changes any party's authorities or
responsibilities under law or regulation. The parties embracing this Agreement
recognize and supporE that this path forward is the appropriate way to establish the
legally sufficient framework for completing the Spokane River DO TMDL and to
quickly begin the important worlc of improving the health of the Spokane River. All
parties agree to conduct themsefves over the next months and years consistent with
these Foundational Concepts and resulting Agreement in Principle so that this can
be successfully and efficiently accomplished.

Spokane River Forum
Development Framework
' Mission .
The Spokane River Forum sseks to preserve and enhance the value of the Spokane River for ali segmsnts .
of society by increasing and deepening public awareness, engagemertt and interacaon with the rivers
environrrtental, cultural and economic resaurces. . ' •
Background and Need , ' - •
The Spokane Rfver is often referred to as °Spokane's signature," its "prernfer community asset,° or "lacal .
treasure." The river"can be seen as the blue ribbon bf the chambers "Near Nature, Near Perfect° campaign
to draw busfnesses, talent and tourism to the region.
The Spokane River Forum provides a tool to inspire decision makers, stakeholder groups and the public to
find pathways tav,rard a clean and healthy Spokane River watershed that is an asset 4o all segments of the :
comrnunity. ,
Goals and Objectives , . . The Spokane River Forum has five fnterconnected goals and objectives: :
' 1) Leadership: The Forum will be recagnized by federal, tribal, state and local suthorities, non-
• govemment organizations, and the general pubfic as fhe key ooordinating bady/clearinghouse for
Spokane River informaHon. • '
2} Coordination: Tfie Forum will foster interagency oommunication regarding pubtic awareness needs
and iniNaNves. Further, the Forum will work across agencies and entities to ooordinate public
. information and engagement regarcling ecanomlc, environmental and cultural issues affecting the
' Spofcane River, induding how decisions and objectives in one area may affect another. In short, a
platform evill be developed to help agencies promote public awareness (of?) across several issues.
3) Public InformatioQ: In understandable, easily accessibla tenns, the Forum will educa(e fndividuais
' and groups about challenges facing the river, protection and clean-up efforts, and the potential
benefits and oosis of proposed regulations, restoration and/ar cleanup efforts. Information tviU-
include: - • Roles and responsibilities of agenaes and• groups ' .
• Overviews and inventory of ecaonomic, environmental and cuitural issues affecting the
r(ver . Proposed studies ' • CurrenVexisting study data and information
- Altemative strategies for i-egulation, protecbon, cleanup actions andlor issue resolution
. Timing af decisions and public comment periods • . Opportunitizs to become involved in one or more issuss
4) Puhllc Enaaaement: The Forum.wifl host and promote specific activities to facilitate dirECt
- interaction with scientists, natural resource managers, decision makers and others concQmed vrith
mrer issues. Such opportunities twill enable the public to:
. 8ecome directty invotved in one or more issues ,
• Encourage mutual gains decisfon making and coliaboration
. • Promote individual, group and arganizational behavioral change to address specific needs
• 5) Student/TeacherQutreach: The Forum will dsvelop specific materials and resources that students
' and teachers can use to connect Spokane River issues and experiences to mastery of Washington . ' State Essential Leaming Requirements,. Washington state grade-level expectabons, and university requirements. I'dlaterials and activities may include:
• Print and/or on-line resources
• Teact►er woricshops .
• Classroom field trips
• Intemships •
I ~ fJ ' .
Principles • .
Specific organizational principles include: •
- • A non-hierarchical, oollaborative organization design • Actfvities that promote public infarmation and engagement, but do not develop policies _
. ' or policy recommendatfons • Outcomes of organization decisions do not usurp or diminish the statutory autharity,
legal mandates, or Treaty rights given to govemment .
_ • Outreach and engagement efforfs maximize administrative etficiency, minimize
conflicting public messages, and leverage opportuniGes for funding
Thesa principles, taken togett►er, the mission, goals and objeckives, will facilitate creating an environment
t;hat: . . ,
' •places a premium on aollaborative effort
. ,
• is entrepreneurial and futuristic in nature • thinks holistically
• is incJusive of all individuais and groups . • facilitates development of posifive, trust-based relationships
• cates transparency via access to people, rssaurvss and informational data Gases
. h reonors the needs of all participants by providing information resources that are timely,
understandable'and easy to access
• fostzrs winaprin outoomes by encouraging mutual gains for all partiapants
helps to coorciinate and unify public messages.
. Such an environmsnt maximizes the community's ability to act collectively to support the highest good for
the Spokane River watershed. . • , . . ~

~ Spokane TMDL Capital Budpet -
Proviso from the 2006 supplemental capital budget page 28 of Bill S-5878 "$1,150,000 of the state building construction account--state appropriation is provided
solely for activities required to determine the total daily maximum load (TMDLS) for the
' Spokane River."
. All of the money must be under contract by 6-30-07. We will lose these funds if they'are
not under contract by 6-30-07. There is no match requirement.
. Monitarina and Niodelina ($150,000 per year) fund additional and continued river
monitoring to verify the condition of the river and how it responds to changes in phosphorus '
inputs and flows, and collect additional information and conduct modeling related to bottom
sediments and aeration proposals. As per I'u91P, local dischargers will share in the cost of .
implementing and operating the monitoring and research program.
• Reuse & Aauifer Recharoe ($250,000) - provide grant funding to local sewer utilities (City of
Spokane, Spokane Co. and Liberty Lake Sewer and Water Dist.) to revise facility plans to
include aggressive water reuse and aquifer recharge elements, including initial facility plans.
. V'Vater Conservation ($100,000) provide grants to local sewer utilities to begin a program to
provide vouchers or rebates for the installation of iR-house water conservation flxtures (low • flow toileh, sho%werheads, washing machines, etc.)
~ • Non-point Source Pollution Prooram ($500,000 per year) - provide grants to begin
implementing the Little Spokane R. and Latah Cr. TMDLs (these tributaries provide high
levels of nutrients to the Spokane R.). As per MIP, the local dischargers will jointly fund this
program.
. Public education & outreach and TMDL administration ($150,000 per year) - provide funds
to establish an education and outreach program'for the TMDL and to provide administration
and oversighit of the TMDL Managed Implementation Plan. This could be funding to '
establish an "office" or program jointly with the local govemments. Spokane River Forum
Proposal? . ,
Not included: •
• Watershed Oversight and Coordination Committee Funding
• Treatment Technology - grants or loans for upgrading and constructing sewage
treatment facilities to implement tfie TMDL. Local governments will spend the next year .
' or so running pilot plants and determining the most appropriate type and cost of
treatment technology to be installed. 1JVe do not have facility plans or cost estimates yet,
but they are likely to be very big hundreds of millions). About 3 or 4 years ago Spokane County estimated iYs costs for a ne`v advanced wastewater treatment plant to
, be $73 million. It's not knoWm what their plant will cost with additional phosphorus
removal, but it's sure to be more plus inflation. Costs to the City of Spokane and Liberty
Lake are not known either, but the City had already planned on spending about $100
million on upgrades. Not all of these costs are due to the TMDL, much is simply to add •
capacity to serve population growth in the area. The TMDL will add significant
~ incremental costs, however.

• INTRODUCTIOri
The Spokane River Uissolved O:cygcn (17U) rotal Ma.Yimiun Daily I.:oad (TtifDi...)
proccss has cstablished a phosphonis target of 10 µg/L, which is expected lo reduce
e.YCe_ssivc algal productivity that causes DO conce.ncrations to i~aU below the tivater quality _
. standard. Thc Foundational Concepts for the Spokane River Ta0 TMDL %vill begi.n
guiding TMT)L implementation, and meeting the phbsphorus target will reyuire a
cembination of improved poiut source wastewater treatinent technology xiid reduced non-
pouit source (NJ-f'S) pollutant loads.
Treatment technology currently canno/ reliably meet lhe waste laad largel of 10 µg/i.,, '
. and the difference between what current technology can aclueve and the waste load target
is r.ef.err.ed to as "the Taelta." The Foundational Concepts requires that National Pollutant
T.)ischarge Eliinination System (NPDES) permit holders develop A Delta Eliuiuiabon
Plan, and states that they may participate in a regional NPS program. If that pactiGipation
demonstrates NTPS phosphorus load reductions to the river, 'NTPDES pemiit holders will be
recogiuzed as contributing toward achievuig phosphorus waste load targets. As such, tlus
Bi-Statc NYS study is a necessary first step towards deuionstratitig Nl'S phosphorus load ~ reductions. , The Spokaue River and Lake Spokane have been listed on a 303 (d) list for iuipairment or
dissolved oxygen (b0). Modeling iudicates that the inain cause of the DO depletion is
algae in thc water bodies. The algac growti is primarily caused by e:cccssive nutricnts,
with phosphorus being the largest nutrient contributor.
ThE DO I'otal Ma.Yimuin 17aily Load (T'MDL) study rccommcndcd that both point
. sotirces and NPSs of phosphonis bc identified and mitieatEd. `1 he purpose of this
prap4sed shidy, whicll will be conductcd in phascs, is to idcntify and quantify vF'Ss into
the Spnkauie Ttiver and Lake Spokiuie, to icientify best inanagement practices (BMf's) to
zddress the Nl'Ss; to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and longevity of the identified
BMYs, aild to prepare an implementation plan for reduction of NPS based on the selecteci

Initial grant fiindin ; of appro:timately $248,800 has beeii provided by the Uiuted States
Congress, to be administe.red through the Environmental Protection Agency (E.PA) for
this projECt. This grant funding was a direct result of efforts by the Spokane Renional

It has been estimAted that the full cost tc> perforni NI'S sriidics throuch completion of the -
, implEmentation plan could be ui the range of $750,000 to $1,000;000. 1"herefore, it is ~
anticipated that the projECt Nvill be divided 'uito two or tluee distinct phases. The scope of
work proPoseci herein is fQr Phase 1 only. 1'he scope pre_senteci below for future Phases 2.

lt is anticipated that due to fiinding, workload tiining, and subcontractor needs, this will ~
bc a rnulti-phasc project. "1'lus Scope of Work descrihes three (3) phases; however, the '
currcnt fiindins (S248,300) is linuted to Phase 1 activities only. lt is atrticipated that
several siguficant studies will be needed to quantafy the non-poi_nt loading to the
Spokane River; thus, fundinD needed f.'or later phase.s (Phases 2 and 3) ~vill greatly exceed
the $245,800 currently available. If sufficient f'uture funding is avai]aUle folloxvuig

Re: 44`h Avenue Pathway ProJect - February 28, 2007 Open House
Yroject Background
Since 2004 the City has received letters from the Central Valley School District
requestulg safe pedestrian facilities for studEnts walking along 44"' Avenue. These
rcqucsts have becn mostly focused on new cievelopments proposed wcst of Schafer
Road buC also include 44a` Avenue east of Schafer Road. Attached are severalletters
from the school district rega,rding their concerns.
As a result of thcsE concerns, the City developed a grant request for 44`h Avenuc
pathway bctwcen Woodruff Roaci and Sands Road. There are currently bike lanes on
the widened shoulders of Schafer Road ancl Sands Road and ail asphalt pathway along
WoodruffR.oad to Ponderosa Elemcntary School. Additionally, the Poncierosa PUD
on the west end of 44`h Avenue has been canditioned for the construction of a
pathway on 44th Avenue fram the develnpment to Woodruff Road. Proviciing
pedestrian and bike access on 44U' Avenue froni Woodruff Road to Sands Rnad would
coinplctc bikE access on all the Ponderosa arterials (see attached Map 3.2, Bike and
Pedestrian System, from the adopled Cnmprehensive Plan).
In 2006 the City received a Federal S'1'P Enhanccmeni grant in the amount of $16,500
f'pr the design phase of a 10 foot wide asphalt sharcd-use pathway alang the north
side of 44`h Avenue from Woodruff R.oad to Sailds Road.
A survey cnnsultant, David Evaiis & Associates, was selecteci last fall from the City's
consultant roster, and the topographic and right-of-way survey work was completed
on January 22, 2007.
Qn Wednesday, Nebruary 28t' 2007, aii open house was hEld at Ponderosa
Elementary School from 3:301'M to 6:OOPVi. A preliininary layout of the proposed
` ' pathway was clisplayed for discussion purposes. Approximately 35 to 40 people

attended the ope_n house. f11so ui attendanee was Valerie Putnam, a correspondent for .
the Spokesman Review.
On Saturday, March 3, 2007 the Spokesman Rcview published Valerie Putnam's
article on the projecC and the open house. A copy of that ai-ticle is actaehed for review.
Also aCtached is a copy of the informational handout clistributed at the open house.

Feedback received af the open house was generally mixed, with those supporting the
pathway appro:cimately equal to ttlose expre.ssing concerns. Below is a summary of

Dear Neil: ' -
Thank you for your April 18 e-mail seelcing mare information about Centraf Valley School Distdct's postura
ooncernlnq additional housing in the Ponderosa area. We wyelcome the chance to vrork with the city in
wJnatevzr ways are appropriate to be sure that students who may reside in this housing~are safe as they
' travel to and from school. .
. I have spoken vrith Gharlie Hollen, the school districYs Safety Resource Offccer, about student travel to and
from the proposed neighborhood. Qur first concern is that students walking to and frqm Ponderosp
Elementary have a safe route of travel.
Enclosed as Attachment A is a map shavving the one-mile vrafk radius from Ponderosa Elementary. We do
~ y not offier 6us stops for regular elementary students who live within one radius mile af their school. We expect
that many elementary scF►ool students res9ding vuithin the newfy proposed Ponderasa development will walk
to Ponderosa ElEmentary. ,
A second concern is that students being bused firorri the new devefopment, primarily to Honzon Middle •
School and to University High School, have a safe place to baard the school bus. We understand that
roadways within the Proposed development will be private. If that is the case, we vriU be unable to operate
schoof buses within boundaries of the new neighborhood. We envision a bus stop on tfie nearest public
roadaray = 4e Avenue - to serve bused students. We ask that a tumout be provided for tfiis stop to improve
' safety of boarding students and so that the buses witl hot impede trafFic when loading or unloading.
Both topics, w9lkvrays and bus traffic, have been 'addr€ssed on foUr accastons, starting in July 2004, via
correspondence to the ciEy. Copies of this correspondence are enclosed as Attachment B.
Yaur April 18 e-mail menUons the Federal Transportation Enhancement Grant for design of a pathway along
.
40 Avenue. VUe expect that this path vri(I improve safety for walking studerits. We weicome ttte opportunity
to communicate with your staff in dssign of this vralkway. Please aontact me when discussian abput this
project, or about additional grant funding, is appropriate.
Sincerely, • . ,

. Dear Ms. Hamois:
Central Valley School District i$ aware of the proposed SUB-07-04/PUD 0404 residential
development We understand that this development proposes approximately 82 sing(e-family
homes on a 16.95 acre site within Central Valley School District.
Central Valley School District currently has capacity to senre students expected.to reside within
thi's residential development The district would offer school transpartation to grade 6-12 .
students from public roadways on the perimeter of the proposed development. Central VclIley School District is interested in this developmenYs impact oh Ponderosa
Elementary School. The development is located within the schaoi's walking distance. Our
major concems surround pedestrian safery, including:
o Sidewalks
• Safe student crossings
o Traffic control near the elementary school Another matter that shoulii be considered•is vehicle access to Ponderosa Elementary School.
.We do not expect that direct access to the school woufd be adversely affected during the
construction period. Due to the riumber of new residences proposed, however, we expect that
traffic conge,stion on and near the Ponderosa Elementary site will be increa$ed as parents
deliver and pick up students. •
We note that this checklist appears to address only 16.95 acres, while the proposal states that
the development will include 27.70 acres west of the 16.95 acres. Sincerely, Dave Jackman ~

Subject: Comment: SUB-07-04-04lPUD 04-04
Dear Ms. Hamois: ,
Thank you for allowing Central Valley School District 4356 (the °District") to comment on the above
application. We have reviewed the proposed Ponderosa PUD and have the following comments:
1. Authoritv to Impose Mitiqation Measures There are two bases for the District's review of impacts created by the proposed Ponderosa PUD:
The State Environmental Policy Act (°SEPA°) requires that any impacts upon schools be reviewed to
determine whether those impacts rise to the level of a probably significant adverse impact. Under
SEPA, any signific~ant impacts to the District created by the Development must be mitigated in orderfor
the City of Spokane Valley (City) to issue a Mitigated Determination of Non-Significanoe.
The sevond basis for imposition of conditions to mitigate the significant impacts to the District is the
State Subdivision Act. In RCW 58.17.110 the Act states:
(2) A proposed subdivision and dedication shall not be approved unless the city, town, or
c4unty legislative body makes awritten findings that: (a)-Appropriate provisions are
made for the public health, safety, and general welfare and for... schaols and school
grounds and all other retevant facts, including sidewafks and other planning features
tfiat assure safe walking conditions for students vrho only v,ralk to and from school; and
(b) the public use and interest will be served by the platting of such subdivision and
dedicatfon. Wit finds that the proposed subdivision and dedication make such
appropriate provisions and that the public user and interest will be senred, then the _

Re: Ponderasa Area Housing Proposais
Dear Mr. Kersten: • '
For several months, Central Vailey School District has followed proRosals for addifional
housing in the Ponderosa area. We have previously corresponded oonceming safety for elementary students walking to
and from school within the Ponderosa neighborhood. We have also asked tfiat .
provision be made for safe'waiting and bus boarding for secondary students who would
be bussed to schools in other areas of the district.
In addition to these conoems, Central Valley School District urges the City of Spokane
Valley to evaluate adequacy of Ponderosa area raadways for ingress, egress and traffic
associated with Ponderosa Elementary School when cansidering additional housing in
the Ponderosa neighbofiood. .

"We are in despcrate need far an envance and exit in the Ponderasa arc.:,
Ponderosa resident since 1974. "We shuuld be focusing on that which is a repl safety issue i ,
rathcr than the puthway."
Stiltncr, along with cither residents, also questions the rationalc behind the pathway along 44th. In their
opinion. Schafer road is the hcavier pedesvian traffic area.
"Wc erttlly need a pathway for safety concerns cqiming do%Nri tr+lm thc 5chuul tti Schafcr." Stiltner tiaid.
"Therc is no whcrti far the kids to safely walk."
The Public Works Dcpartment identified 44th Avenue as having same contiguration issues along the I
roadway to hinder safery for pedestnans. Tlie safeiy issues matched the critena for a grant offered by the
redernl Highways Association tlu-ough the 'Cransportation F?.quity Act in 2005.
; The ciCy received a$16,500 grant in 2006 to cover the design phase of tlle project. Before drawing
preliminary conceptual plans, the city hire.d David Evans and Associates to do a topographical and right-
of-way survey. The city received its survey findings in January.
"The big concem is proximity of pedestrians to vehicle traffic," Slamatoplos said. "Schafer has an
established wide shoulder on both sides of the ro3d that can be used right now. Fourty-founh has it in
places but in other places there is literally no shoulder on the roacl."
Residents also voiced concern of having the pathway cross ai the corner vf 44th and Schafer, a thrce-
way stop.
"They need to fir 44th and Schafer with a linht or sornethinj ~~isttal," said Diane Gross, who lives on the
east corner of 44th 1nd Schafer. "I've seen a number of penple run it. They don't cvcn stop, and thars not
safe for the kids walkinc."
lsermanent wa.rning signs and stripinj at each intersectian is planned and possible at every driveway
where line of sight is an issue.
"Our intent is not to create a situation where il's unsafe for kids," said Steve Worley, city senior
engineer. "We want to create a sitiiation thaYs safe. If ihere was any indication that this was going to
create a dangerous situation, we wouldn't do it."
Snme 44th Avenue residents report flooding as already an issue for their yards and driveway and are
conccrned with how the city will alleviate the water when the pathway goes over some drain fields.
"We do recognize that is an issue here and we need to fgure out how we can accommodate that,"
Worley said.
The propercy owners who live along 44th Avenue asked for clear guiclelines as to who is responsible for
snow removal, and general upkeep of the pathway.
"It is not our intent on this project ro make it the homeowner's responsibi lity." Worley said.
"There is no regulation at this point in time that says anyone is responsible," Stamatoplos said. "We have
a need to ha<<e a poliey citywide ancl thc council has begun to look at that situation. "I"hey saw it (this
pathway) for the first time in an informacional briefinc durinL last night's city council meeting."
The next step is design. Armed with concerns from the neighborhood, a final clesign should be
completed to meet the early May deadline for the C'ederal I-lighways Administration grant to cover the
construction phase.
The estimated construction value is $222;500. If the city can't secure federal funding, it wil) need to laak
for alternate funding sources.
"What funds we receivc will shape what the final project is going to look like," Stamatoplos said.
(-~l After funding, the projecl goes out to bid with an estimated completion date of summer 2008.
"If there; was a huge opinion in the Ponderosa neighbnrhood that• said they don't want it," Worley said.
"Then we're not going to foree it on anybody."

OPEN HOUSE
Fehruary 28, 2007
'1`he City of Spokane Valley would like to thaiilc you for your interesf in this project. `C'his
Open House is intended to inform citizens about the 44th Avenue Pathway Project and
provide a sctting wliere questions and concerns can be adclressed. Please review the
exhibits and the information below. City Staff are hcrc to try to answer any additional
questions you may have. Should you thinl: of mare questions aftcr this Upen riouse, we
have provided at the end of tllis document a City Staff contact witli e-mail address ajld
phone numbcr for your r.eference.
COM.NION QUTSTTpNS AND COVCERNS
What docs the nroject consist of?
The proposecl projcet is to construct a 10-f.oot-wide asphalt shared-usc pathway along the
north side of 44th AvenuE from Woodruff Road to Sands R.oad. The paehway will be
dcsigncd to nunimi~.e impacts to the adjaccnt properties and save as mwly krees as
possible.
Why is this pathway being proposcd on the North side of 44th Avenue?
' The north side of 44th was chosen becausc, in gcneral, there is inore public R.ight-of way
available and fewer existing improvements to accouunodate than on the south side. There
is also a fairly well definecl dirt pathway currently in use on die nort11 side.
Will there be Right-nf-Way acquisitions?
The City does not anticipate the need lo acquire additional TZight-of-way for tliis project.
The City inay need temporary construction easemenis in order lo tie the pathway slopes
into the adjaccnt properties ul areas requiring cuts or fills.
NVhy was Schafer not the site for the proposed pathway?
Schafer Road currently has aNvidened asphalt shoulder that can be used by pedestriar►s;
44th Avenue does not. A pathway on 44th Avenue had a better chauce oF being fundecl ,
based nn t11e Federal graut criteria.
~
(
~
How will the drainage ditches and other improvement5 alnng the Nc~rth side of 44th
- be affected?
The pathway will be ciesigned to minimize impacts to existingfeatures as much as
possiblc. However, soine modifications within the public Rigtrt-of-way may be needed to
construct the pathway. i7ctailS will be worked out as the clESign progresscs, taking uito
consideration thc fccdback received from the public.
Once constructed, who would be respousible f'or maintaining the pathway?
The City will repair any daaiagc to the pathway if rcquired. T.he City does not currently
providc snow removal for sideNvalks and pattiways. This issue will be reviewed by
Council in the near fiiturc.
When will construction of the project begin?
The City of Spokane Valley has only received Federal Ptuids for the design phase of this
project. Once a design is completcd, an additional grant aPplication will be submitted for
construction ftindinj. If tlus applicatiUn is successfiil, Nve anlicipate construetion to begin
iu 2008.
