INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT: Soils Reclamation Facilitv
Project No. 9941202
King County 2010 2013 Regional Stormwater Decant Facility Use Agreement
ISSUE
Approve Regional Stormwater Decant Facility Use Agreement with King County for Vactor truck waste disposal.
BACKGROUND
Tukwila cleans approximately 19,000 lineal feet of storm pipe and 1,000 catch basins each year. On an average
week the crew removes 5 to 10 yards of material from the system that must be disposed of properly. The extracted
sediment contains a fair amount of water that needs to be decanted. The Department of Ecology (DOE) notified the
City that, due to concerns over ground water contamination, the City needs to either construct a Soils Reclamation
Facility (decant facility) that allows the decanted water to be discharged into the sewer system or decant at an
existing approved Soils Reclamation Facility.
DISCUSSION
Developing a City of Tukwila Soils Reclamation Facility will require the acquisition of land and construction of
improvements to the site. The cost is currently estimated to be $2.8 million with a minimum of several years to
complete the project. A Public Works Trust Fund loan application has just recently been submitted. Another future
project, the proposed joint City Maintenance Facility could be a combined project with the Soils Reclamation Facility
for economy of scale, operational efficiencies, and a maximum benefit cost ratio.
For the interim, the City will contract a Use Agreement with King County as there is a DOE approved King County
Soils Reclamation Facility in Renton that the City will be able to utilize.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Costs for disposal are estimated to be $440.00 per load and with a projected 180 loads annually, the cost could be
$79,200.00 per year and we currently have $30,000.00 budgeted. This estimate does not include the added staff and
equipment costs associated with transporting the material to the King County facility in Renton. As the total cost for
the use of King County's decant facility will be higher than $40,000.00, Council approval is needed for the Use
Agreement. As costs are only estimated for 2012, we may need a budget amendment later in the year, but will use
Surface Water's ending fund balance to compensate for this overrun.
RECOMMENDATION
Council is being asked to approve the King County Use Agreement for the Regional Stormwater Decant Facility
Program and consider this item at the May 29, 2012 Committee of the Whole and subsequent June 4, 2012 Regular
meeting.

The purpose in establishing this system of stormwater decant facilities is to provide an
environmentally sound system for disposing of waste generated from the cleaning of
stormwater drainage systems. King County is providing a system for the disposal of
stormwater waste by constructing stormwater decant facilities open to all users, including
King County agencies, other public agencies and private companies. In order to operate this
system it is required that all users pay their fair share and follow standard operating
procedures as laid out in this Use Agreement and the Regional Stormwater Decant Facility
Program Operations and Maintenance Manual (Operations Manual).

2012 through December 31, 2013. It may be amended at any time in
writing to add or subtract equipment to Attachment A of the application. Either party
may terminate this Use Agreement at any time by sending written notice to the person
who signed this Use Agreement for the other party.
The Authorized User is responsible for paying the user fee as established by King County,
including, without limitation, any user fees that are outstanding on the termination of this
Use Agreement. The current fee is eighty -one dollars ($81.00) per station entry and an
additional fifty -nine dollars ($59.00) per ton for solids disposal. The fee structure is set
by King County Council and may be amended at its discretion.
2.1. The Authorized User acknowledges that the late payment by Authorized User to the
County of any sum due under this Use Agreement will cause the County to incur
administrative, collection, processing and accounting costs and expenses not
contemplated under this Use Agreement, the exact amounts of which are extremely
difficult and impractical to fix. Therefore, if any sum due under this Use Agreement
is not received by the County from the Authorized User within thirty (30) days from
the invoice date "the Delinquency Date the Authorized User shall immediately
pay to the County on the Delinquency Date 'a late charge of one percent (1 of the
amount of such sum. The County and the Authorized User agree that this late charge
represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation
to the County for its loss caused by the Authorized User's nonpayment. Should
Authorized User pay said late charge but fail to pay contemporaneously therewith all
unpaid sums due under this Use Agreement, the County's acceptance of this late
charge shall not constitute a waiver of Authorized User's default with respect to
Authorized User's nonpayment or prevent the County from exercising all other rights
and remedies available to the County under this Use Agreement or under law.
2.2. Additionally, all such delinquent sums, and all late charges not paid when due, shall
bear interest for each day following their Delinquency Date until paid at a percentage
rate equal to the lesser of (i) one and one -half percent (1.5%) per month or (ii) the
maximum rate permitted under applicable law.
2.3. Waiver of the late charge or interest with respect to any delinquent payment will not
be deemed to constitute a waiver of the late charge or interest with respect to any
subsequent delinquent payment.
2.4. Any payments of any kind returned for insufficient funds will be subject to an
additional charge of $35.00 payable by Authorized User to the County.

Authorized User to the County to be made by bank cashier's or bank certified check
or other similar means of payment and the County shall not be required to accept any
checks or drafts of Authorized User which do not comply with such requirements.
2.6. If suit is brought upon the Authorized User's failure to pay, and if judgment in such a
suit is entered in favor of the County, then the Authorized User shall pay all
damages, including but not limited to costs, expenses and reasonable attorney's fees
and all other litigation related expenses, incurred by the County.

within the Operations Manual and that all drivers will attend training by King County DOT,

manner. The driver is responsible for their own and any driver's helpers' activities relating to
the use of the facilities.
5. In the event that any of the Authorized User's officers, employees, agents or
representatives causes damage in any way to any facility or property of King County, the
Authorized User covenants and agrees to pay King County the amount of damages thereby
incurred by King County, together with any and all costs, legal and otherwise, including
attorney's fees, incurred by King County in the determination of the nature and extent of the
damage and enforcement of such obligation against the Authorized User.
6. The Authorized User will provide the Program Administrator with a copy of the User's
procedures for dealing with known or suspected contaminated "hot" loads. Although the

compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, which shall remain the sole
responsibility of the Authorized User.
