City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 05/17/2016
Interlocal Agreement with City of Lynnwood for Specialized Equipment
Staff Lead: Pamela Randolph
Department: Public Works & Utilities
Preparer: Pamela Randolph
Background/History
The EPA has established stringent air quality standards that require us to frequently monitor the
effectiveness of the Venturi Pac Scrubber mercury removal system. This Inter -local Agreement was
presented to the City Council on May 10, 2016 and forwarded to the Consent Agenda.
Staff Recommendation
City Council consent their approval for the Mayor to sign the Interlocal Agreement with the City of
Lynnwood.
Narrative
The EPA has established stringent air quality standards on all Sanitary Sewage Incinerators (SSI). We
have worked diligently, with other SSI owners in WA state, over the past 4 years, to ensure our
compliance with these new standards. Our work included the demonstration of a new technology
designed to work in conjunction with our Venturi Pac scrubber, which has proven to be a successful
approach. As we await EPA's approval of this new technology we were required to submit a testing plan
which would demonstrate compliance of the technology. Unfortunately, the sampling equipment
required is rather expensive and will be used infrequently. Given the City of Lynnwood is in a similar
position we have discussed the opportunity to share the equipment and reduce the overall cost of
testing to the citizens of Edmonds and Lynnwood. The equipment is sturdy and lends itself well to
transport and sharing with multiple users. While it is possible to rent the equipment on a test by test
basis this is not a cost effective approach for us in part due to the uncertainty and frequency of the
testing schedule. The cost of the basic model is approx $46,000 plus tax and does not include the
individual sampling supplies or the laboratory analysis at an outside laboratory. The life expectancy of
the equipment is 15 -20 years. Our intention is to be ready to move forward with the purchase of this
equipment, regardless of the success of this Interlocal Agreement, immediately after the anticipated
approval from EPA is received. Once the approval is received we have a limited time to comply.
