UPDATE #0
REJECTED

WATER PROTECTION – Chris Perez (512) 972-1060

WP1. Add Austin Water Utility Water Protection Signature line on the cover sheet.

WP2. Sheet 99 of 170 Reflection pool shall be protected with a Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ).

WP3. Sheet 108 of 170 Fire Line shall be protected with a Double Check Valve Assembly and
the drawing shall indicate specification 520S-19A.

WP4. Sheet 108 of 170 6” Potable Water line shall be protected with a RPZ, due to a restricted,
classified or other closed facilities. §290.47 (i) Appendix I.

WP5. (FYI) Any site using or planning to use auxiliary water (e.g., reclaim, rain water, well
water, etc.) in addition to water supplied by Austin Water Utility (AWU) may be required to
provide backflow prevention at all connections. Review applicable details of requirements
 at www.ci.austin.tx.us/water/downloads/wwwssd_cc_bfp_aux.pdf . Please contact the
Water Protection Section of the Special Services Division at (512) 972-1060.

INDUSTRIAL WASTE – Anne Zulka (512) 972-1060

IW1. Add Austin Water Utility Industrial Waste Signature line on the cover sheet.

IW2. Chapter 15-10 of the Austin City Code forbids the discharge of non-flow measured
wastewater to the sanitary sewer for any site discharging or proposing to discharge
industrial wastewater to the City of Austin's sanitary sewer system. Therefore, no more
than one sewer tap may exist per water meter. When more than one water meter
supplies water to a site with more than one sewer tap, each water meter must discharge
to a unique wastewater tap, or the wastewater generated must combine at one location
before mixing with wastewater from another water meter.

The plans show two watermeters (one 6” and one 8”) feeding an inner and outer supply
loop. These loops feed a multitude of toilet blocks, commissaries, food tents, clubs,
automotive service areas, etc. From these numerous sources wastewater is developed
and discharged into numerous taps into the two 12” WW mains in the two “Public WW
Easements” crossing the property (that will be carrying wastewater from offsite in the
future). Beyond that there are two more WW taps leaving the property and connecting
into the WW main in FM 812. All of this is in violation of Chapter 15-10.

IW3. Inconsistancy: Page 112, the building at the tip of the property is called “Sport Area”, on
page138 it is called “Waste Collection”.

IW4. (FYI) A Wastewater Discharge Permit is required from the Austin Water Utility's Special
Services Division (SSD) for the proposed discharge of industrial wastewater to the
sanitary sewer system as authorized by Chapter 15-10 of the Austin City Code.

IW5. (FYI) Wastewater from food preparation or equipment cleanup areas from restaurants,
caterers, delis, bakeries, meat markets, etc. requires pretreatment by a grease
interceptor and other approved device.

IW6. (FYI) Pretreatment of process wastewater discharged from an industrial, commercial, or

other non-residential type sanitary sewer user is required. Examples of such non-
residential type users that may discharge process wastewaters to the sanitary sewer
system may include, but are not limited to: hospitals, medical and other laboratories, car
washes, parking garages, dumpster drains, automotive service bays, industrial,
commercial and other laundries, manufacturers, chilled water plants and cooling towers,
photo developers, x-ray developers, publishers, printers, radiator shops, etc. A variety of
devices and equipment may be required for pretreatment of such wastes.

IW7. (FYI) When available, submit plumbing plans to the Austin Water Utility's Special Services
Division (SSD) for pretreatment review prior to issuance of the plumbing permit. For
projects that do not require a City of Austin building permit, the plans must still be
submitted to the SSD for pretreatment review prior to construction if the wastewater will
be treated by the City of Austin.

Austin Water Utility Review - Howard Neil Kepple - 972-0077

WW1. The landowner intends to serve the site with City of Austin water and wastewater utilities.
The water and wastewater utility plan must be reviewed and approved by the Austin
Water Utility for compliance with City criteria and the approved SERs (2955 & 2956). All
water and wastewater construction must be inspected by the City of Austin. The
landowner must pay the City inspection fee with the utility construction. The landowner
must pay the tap and impact fee once the landowner makes an application for a City of
Austin water and wastewater utility tap permit.

FYI: For plan review status contact George Resendez with Pipeline Engineering at 972-

lines/comments are ready for pickup at the Austin Water Utility Waller Creek office
located at 625 E.10th St., Austin, TX 78701. Response comments and corrections, along
with the original redlines, must be returned to the assigned Pipeline Engineering reviewer

Site Plan Review Comments (SP-2010-0245.02D)

General Comments:
1) Provide SWPPP document and plans
2) Provide NOI submitted to the State (AE/LCRA should be included on that document)
3) Staging/spoils disposal not permitted within AE’s easement

Plan Comments:
1) Sheet 22 of 170 – Grading plan within AE easement has been revised, show correct grades
2) Sheet 23 of 170 – Grading plan within AE easement has been revised, show correct grades
3) Sheet 57 of 170 – Layout of the substation has been revised, show correct layout
4) Sheet 57 of 170 – Substation driveways are road base/surface rock, not asphalt as shown
5) Sheet 72 of 170 – Layout of the substation has been revised, show correct layout
6) Sheet 72 of 170 – Substation driveways are road base/surface rock, not asphalt as shown

The comments below were provided by LCRA. Contact Gina Rubio at

gina.rubio@lcra.org if you have any questions regarding these comments.

Lower Colorado River Authority

General Comments:
1) Substation layout will need to be updated
2) The fence location along F1 boulevard will need to be updated if moved

Spoils Piles:
The plans that were sent to us on 3/8 in an email from AE regarding spoils piles (stamped
by engineer 2/3/11) do not seem to be the same plans that are in Brad’s office (stamped
by engineer 2/22/11).
On the PDF drawings received 3/8, the permanent spoils location is depicted as abutting
the transmission line easement. Transmission line engineering has no comments as long
as there is no change in the grade of the ground along our existing easement at all. The
site crew can’t let their spoils extend beyond the spoils boundary and into our easement.
If that is not feasible, then we will need to discuss modifying or moving that permanent
spoils location. We will be staking our easement boundary at that specific location and
we will be performing intermittent inspections to ensure our easement is not being
affected.
 Plan sheet 16(R) of 149 (from 2/3/11 set) showed a sediment trap and spoils pile to the
right (east) of our substation. In the set in Brad’s office, that drawing (now called 15 of
170) shows the sediment trap and the spoils pile/staging area on top of our substation
location. Does the sediment trap and spoils pile need to be moved off our substation
site? I would like a revised spoils map to show the location of where LCRA will be putting
their spoils.
Erosion and Sediment Controls:
LCRA will be getting a TCEQ Construction General Permit for Storm Water Discharges
(for “large construction” within a common plan of development) because they will be
considered a “primary operator” at the site. In our Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan, we are assuming that Formula One will provide erosion and sediment controls and
will perform any revegetation that is required around the substation site and around any
transmission line pole locations that need to be relocated.
Drawing (now called 15 of 170 from 2/22/11 set) shows a silt fence along the west side of
our substation but the silt fence might need to be adjusted more to the west based on the
final AE grading plan.
The Formula One contractor wasn’t sure how LCRA will access the site at the time of our
construction. I just want to ensure that Formula One will be installing the Stabilized
Construction Entrance at the Elroy access point, if LCRA uses that entrance.
LCRA requests any specific details regarding how Formula One would like concrete
washout to be handled during substation and TL construction.
A month prior to LCRA’s construction start date, LCRA Environmental requests the most
revised copy of the Erosion and Sediment Control plan for the site, including any field
revisions so we can include this information in our SWPPP.
