(a) Data collection and assessment work to meet the 60% draft TM should include review of: (i) past City River, Stream and CSO discharge water quality monitoring projects; (ii) Total nitrogen (TN) and Total phosphorus (TP) nutrient water quality modeling software, bacteria water quality monitoring software and include a recommendation for future water quality modelling; (iii) automatic sampling instrumentation and include a recommendation for the proposed discharge sampling instrumentation, with cost and availability information; ◻ any electronic equipment that is installed in the sewer system is required to be intrinsically safe. (iv) available CSO chamber survey information and document any access issues, safety concerns, include images where necessary; (v) review water quality parameters in Environment Act (EA) No. 3042, Manitoba Water Quality Standards Objectives and Guidelines (MWQSOG) regulations, past parameter collected and results; (vi) City sewage treatment plant discharge flows and water quality existing and future performance; and; (vii) the proposed River and Stream sampling locations for accessibility and safety. (b) The following should be undertaken and also documented: (i) Inspect the River and Stream monitoring locations in the City Proposed Water Quality Monitoring Plan document for accessibility, safety, include site risk assessments; and (ii) Inspect the eight (8) identified CSO chamber locations in the City Proposed Water Quality Monitoring Plan document and document any access issues, safety concerns, include images where necessary. (c) A cost for an independent lab to undertake the sample testing based on the parameters in the City Proposed Water Quality Monitoring plan. The cost should include: (i) a cost for sample testing in 2023 and 2024; and; (ii) an estimate of number of samples to be tested and the cost for additional sampling. (d) Include a gaps analysis and identify any gaps for future inclusion in the monitoring protocol. (e) Confirm the feasibility of collecting river and stream samples at the proposed locations or recommend alternative locations, a site risk assessment shall also be included for any alternative location identified. D7.2.4 Data collection and assessment work to meet the 95% draft TM should; (a) Identify if further CSO chamber surveys are required with justification. (b) Apprise past results and review proposed water quality parameters, recommend any changes with rational for inclusion/exclusion. (c) Provide a high-level commentary on any development or sewer capital improvements since the last discharge samples were collected that might impact overflow performance. (d) Include the proposed approach to compare river and stream TN, TP, and bacteria Pollutants of Concern (POC) against MWQSOG thresholds, include the proposed approach to evaluate potential changes in discharge sampling water quality on event mean concentrations. (e) Rank the eight (8) identified CSO chamber locations in the City Proposed Water Quality Monitoring Plan with regards to selection for installing automatic sampling to monitor discharges. D7.2.5 Should any of the requirements of the 60% Draft Data Collection and Assessment TM as per D7.2.3 not be completed sufficiently at submission, the 60% Draft will be submitted back to the Consultant. The 60% Draft Review Meeting will be delayed until such time that a 60% Draft including all of the minimum requirements have been provided.
