Citizen Comments: None
Previous Meeting Minutes: February 18, 2020
The minutes were approved as presented on a motion by Mr. Tarulis, second by Mr. Frieders and
approved by unanimous voice vote
New Business:
1. PW 2020-30 Water Department Reports for January, February and March 2020
Public Works Director Dhuse said these are the usual reports and that average use dipped to 70 gallon
per person in January. Reports were approved by unanimous voice vote and will move forward to City
Council for approval and submittal to IEPA.
2. PW 2020-31 Supplemental MFT Resolution for Bulk Rock Salt
Mr. Dhuse said this is the yearly bid and the city is now part of this program and must take 80% of the
bid. He bid on 1,600 ton and the city must take 1,280 ton as the minimum. At $100 per ton, the total
would be $122,800 which was approved by unanimous voice vote.

3. PW 2020-32 IDOT – Right-of-W ay Conveyance - .095 Acres of Lane at 1975 N. Bridge Street
Mr. Dhuse said this pertains to the Countryside lift station parcel and IDOT needs a small strip of land
for the expansion project. The amount to be paid to the city is about $8,600. Approved unanimously
on a voice vote.
4. PW 2020-33 Mill Road Project – Agreements with BNSF
Engineer Sanderson said all three agreements have now been obtained from the railroad. The first is
the physical crossing agreement, 2) ICC stipulated agreement including safety improvements needed,
ICC will fund approximately 95% of the cost and 3) the easement agreement for Mill Road as it crosses
the BNSF property. The cost to the city will be about $33,000, much less than anticipated. The
developer of Grande Reserve, Avanti, will be paying for most of the project costs. The city attorney
has reviewed the agreements and an updated memo regarding the easement has been received. The
committee unanimously agreed to move this matter forward to City Council.
5. PW 2020-34 Rebuild Illinois Grants Program Potential Applications
An additional grant program has been announced in relation to the current pandemic. This is a fast-
track attempt to provide jobs for regional economic development. Two local projects under
consideration are for extended utilities to Eldamain and updated sewer connections. Another potential
project is painting of the water towers. Mr. Olson commented that the city hopes to lighten the burden
on the general fund. Applications will be submitted for the projects before the June 30th due date.
There is no risk to the city and no match is required, though Mr. Olson commented the state would
probably prefer a 50/50 match. This proposal will move forward.
Old Business: None
Additional Business: None
There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 6:14pm.

Lift Station SCADA Upgrades
Public Works Committee – June 16, 2020
Positive
Super Majority approval due to sole source quote
Upgrading all lift stations to a cloud based SCADA system that can be accessed
remotely.
Eric Dhuse Public Works
Name Department
Summary
A proposed upgrade to five (5) lift stations SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition)
controls that move us from land line phone-based messages to real time remote access to our lift
stations and their controls.
Background
Currently, all our 7 lift stations use what is called a dialer to let us know when there is a problem.
A dialer is a simple piece of old technology that calls us when something has already gone
wrong. For example, one of the most common calls is “pump fail” this alerts us to the fact that
one pump failed to start when it was called for. However, it does not tell us if the other pump
started to be able to pump down the wet well. This means that we need to send an employee in
very quickly to make sure the other pump is running and diagnose the problem to come up with a
solution. If we move to the cloud based, real time monitoring system, we will be able to have
alert points built in to let us know when things are out of the normal parameters before it
becomes a true problem. We will then be able to diagnose and possibly make adjustments to
certain parameters to avoid any problems later.
To put it simply, we will move from a reactionary system to a proactive one. Realtime
monitoring capabilities will improve efficiency, cut down on call ins, and allow us much more
peace of mind knowing that we will have all potential problems alerted to us before its too late.
In addition, the cloud-based system will allow us to collect and store data that we have not been
able to collect before. For instance, at this time, we can see how many hours each pump runs per
day, but we don’t know when. With the upgraded system, we will be able to track when each
pump runs, when the peak times of day are at, and record any spikes in inflow due to rain events.
The City Council approved the upgrades to the Blackberry Creek North lift station in March of
2020 which included the upgrades to the SCADA system. This lift station also included new
pumps, cabinets, and wiring to bring it up to today’s standards. The proposal before you now
will upgrade 5 of our remaining 6 lift stations and equip them with the same SCADA system as
was approved previously. These lift stations are new enough that they do not need any other
upgrades for the new SCADA system to function properly. They will simply need the new
control panel and transducer along with the installation/programming of the system. A detailed
quote from Metropolitan Pump Co. is attached for your review, but a quick cost breakdown is as
follows:
Memorandum
To: Public Works Committee
From: Eric Dhuse, Director of Public Works
CC: Bart Olson, Administrator
Date: June 3, 2020
Subject: Lift station SCADA upgrades
1. Bruell St. Lift Station - $12,969
2. Raintree Lift Station - $12,969
3. Prestwick Lift Station* - $14,561
4. Fox Hill Lift Station - $12,969
5. River’s Edge Lift Station - $12,969
Total $66,437
*Prestwick lift station is more expensive due to the added labor of rewiring the variable
frequency drive motors. This is the only lift station with these types of motors.
Our last remaining lift station that we will need to upgrade will be the Countryside lift station
located on Rt. 47 across from Rosati’s. This lift station was not included in this year’s plan in
order to space out the expenditures over a 3-year period. Last year was Blackberry Creek North,
this year is the bulk of the other lift stations, and the final year will be Countryside. Our cost
estimate for this work at Countryside Lift Station is $25,000.
Separate from the cost of the upgrade, we will have a reoccurring charge of $45/month per lift
station for the cellular service. Those funds will come from the lift station services line item
within the sanitary sewer operations fund. All other expenses will come from the SCADA
system line item in the sanitary sewer operations budget. The approved budgeted amount in this
line item is $67,000.
Recommendation
I recommend the super-majority approval of the quotation from Metropolitan Pump Company of
Romeoville, IL in the amount of $66,437 for the Control panel and SCADA system upgrade as
outlined in the quotations. I would ask that this be placed on the June 16, 2020 Public Works
Committee meeting for discussion and direction.

Well No. 8 and 9 Water Treatment Plant Cation Exchange Vessels – Interior Coating Repairs
Public Works Committee – June 16, 2020
Majority
Consideration of Approval
Consideration of Bid Award
Brad Sanderson Engineering
Name Department
The City recently contracted with Global Water Services (GWS) to replace the media in the four
(4) cation exchange vessels at the Wells 8 & 9 Water Treatment Plant (WTP). After GWS
removed the existing media in two of the vessels (Vessels 3 & 4), inspection of the interior
coating in each vessel indicated that sections of the coating had been compromised. Photos of
the damaged coating are enclosed. In order to prevent corrosion of the metal vessels, it is
recommended to repair the coating system while the vessels are empty.
This work was not anticipated or included in the scope of the contract with GWS. EEI requested
a proposal from GP Maintenance (GP) for the coating repairs in Vessels 3 & 4. On May 4th, GP
submitted the lowest cost proposal for the coating repairs in Vessels 1 & 2 (Previously packet
materials are attached for reference). GP completed the coating repairs on time and at the
amount specified in their proposal. A copy of the GP’s latest proposal for Vessels 3 & 4 is
attached for your information and record.
We recommend proceeding with GP Maintenance Services, Inc. (10512 South Michael Drive,
Palos Hills, IL 60465) for this work in the amount of $28,000.
A project budget summary is noted below:
Construction Budget $165,000
Awarded Contract $115,100
Vessel Repairs – Units 1 and 2 $28,000
Vessel Repairs – Units 3 and 4 $28,000
Total $171,100
The WTP is still functional but presents operational challenges to staff. Therefore, it is
important to complete this recoating work ASAP and allow for GWS to complete the remaining
work at the facility.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please let us know.

enclosed. In order to prevent corrosion of the metal vessels, it is recommended to repair the
coating system while the vessels are empty.
This work was not anticipated or included in the scope of the contract with GWS. EEI
coordinated with Tnemec to develop two (2) options for repairing the interior coating systems in
each vessel. Option 1 consists of repairing only the failed areas. Option 2 consists of repairing
the failed areas and overcoating all interior surfaces. EEI assisted in soliciting proposals from
multiple qualified contractors for the recoating work. Two proposals were received. A
tabulation of the costs and proposals are attached for your information and record. After
reviewing both proposals EEI determined that Option 1 is the most cost-effective approach and
required the least amount of downtime for each vessel. Therefore, we recommend proceeding
with this work with the contractor that submitted the lowest cost for Option 1, GP Maintenance
Services, Inc. (GP) (10512 South Michael Drive, Palos Hills, IL 60465) in the amount of
$28,000.
The WTP is still functional but presents operational challenges to staff. Therefore, it is
important to complete this recoating work ASAP and allow for GWS to complete the remaining
work at the facility. GP can start work the week of May 11th, if given approval ASAP.
If you have an y questions or require additional information, please let us know.

Public Works Committee – June 16, 2020
Majority
Approval
See attached.
Bart Olson Administration
Name Department
Summary
Consideration of a contract with Engineering Enterprises, Inc. for a risk resilience assessment
and emergency response planning of the City’s water system, as required by the US EPA and the
American Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) of 2018.
Background
The American Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 requires communities with a water system to
complete a risk resilience assessment and emergency response planning study by certain dates
depending on community size. For Yorkville, some components of the study must be complete by June
2021 and other components by December 2021.
In general, the study will look at threats to the City’s water system from things like natural
disasters, sabotage, theft, and operational deficiencies in both the physical and virtual space. A more
detailed summary of study components is included in the attached materials from EEI and from the US
EPA.
The attached contract with EEI will cover creation of the study and submittal of the materials to
the US EPA by the deadlines required under the AWIA for a total price of $59,400. This contract cost is
budgeted and this work is not recommended to be completed by staff due to expertise and workload
demands.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the contract with EEI.
Memorandum
To: City Council
From: Bart Olson, City Administrator
CC:
Date: June 11, 2020
Subject: Contract with EEI for RRA/ERP
Engineering Enterprises, Inc.
RISK AND RESILIENCE ASSESSMENTS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANS:
The America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 (AWIA) requires community water systems that serve more
than 3,300 people to complete a risk and resilience assessment and develop an emergency response plan.
RISK AND RESILIENCE ASSESSMENT
Your utility must conduct a risk and resilience assessment and submit certification of its completion to the U.S.
EPA by the following dates:
• March 31, 2020 if serving ≥100,000 people.
• December 31, 2020 if serving 50,000 to 99,999 people.
• June 30, 2021 if serving 3,301 to 49,999 people.
Every five years, your utility must review the risk and resilience assessment and submit a recertification to the
U.S. EPA that the assessment has been reviewed and, if necessary, revised.
Risk and resilience assessments evaluate the vulnerabilities, threats and consequences from potential
hazards. The RRA must include:
− Natural hazards and malevolent acts (i.e., all hazards).
− Resilience of water facility infrastructure (including pipes, physical barriers, water sources and
collection, treatment, storage and distribution, and electronic, computer and other automated systems).
− Monitoring practices.
− Financial systems (e.g., billing systems).
− Chemical storage and handling.
− Operation and maintenance.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
Your utility must develop or update an emergency response plan and certify completion to the U.S. EPA no
later than six months after risk and resilience assessment certification. Each utility deadline is unique; however,
the dates below are the due dates for utilities who submit a risk and resilience assessment certification by the
final due date according to the population served.
• September 30, 2020 if serving ≥100,000 people.
• June 30, 2021 if serving 50,000 to 99,999 people.
• December 30, 2021 if serving 3,301 to 49,999 people.
Within six months of submitting the recertification for the risk and resilience assessment, your utility must
certify it has reviewed and, if necessary, revised, its emergency response plan.
The Emergency Response Plan must include:
− Strategies and resources to improve resilience, including physical security and cybersecurity.
− Plans and procedures for responding to a natural hazard or malevolent act that threatens safe drinking
water.
− Actions and equipment to lessen the impact of a malevolent act or natural hazard, including alternative
water sources, relocating intakes and flood protection barriers.
− Strategies to detect malevolent acts or natural hazards that threaten the system.

TOOLS OR METHODSAWIA does not require the use of any standards, methods or tools for the risk and resilience assessment or emergency response plan. Your utility is responsible for ensuring that the risk and resilience assessment and emergency response plan address all the criteria in AWIA Section 2013(a) and (b), respectively. The U.S. EPA recommends the use of standards, including AWWA J100-10 Risk and Resilience Management of Water and Wastewater Systems, along with tools from the U.S. EPA and other organizations, to facilitate sound risk and resilience assessments and emergency response plans.
1 Section 2013 of AWIA applies to community water systems. Community water systems are drinking water utilities that consistently serve at least 25 people or 15 service connections year-round.

Strategies and resources to improve resilience, including physical security and cybersecurity.
Plans and procedures for responding to a natural hazard or malevolent act that threatens safe drinking water.Actions and equipment to lessen the impact of a malevolent act or natural hazard, including alternative water sources, relocating intakes and flood protection barriers.Strategies to detect malevolent acts or natural hazards that threaten the system.Who should I work with when creating my emergency response plan?
Utilities must coordinate the risk and resilience assessments, as well as the emergency response plans with local emergency planning committees.
I need more information on the certification process:What do I need to submit to the U.S. EPA?Each utility must submit a certification of your risk and resilience assessment and emergency response plan. Each submission must include: utility name, date and a statement that the utility has completed, reviewed or revised the assessment. The U.S. EPA has developed an optional certification template that can be used for email or mail certification. The optional certification form will be available in August 2019.Who can certify my risk and resilience assessment and emergency response plan?Risk and resilience assessments and emergency response plans can be self-certified by the utility. How do I submit my certification? Three options will be provided for submittal: regular mail, email and a user-friendly secure online portal. The online submission portal will provide drinking water systems with a receipt of submittal. The U.S. EPA recommends using this method. The certification system will be available in August 2019.
When can I submit the initial certification? Utilities should wait to submit the initial certification to the U.S. EPA until the U.S. EPA publishes Baseline Information on Malevolent Acts Relevant to Community Water Systems,which is required under AWIA by August 2019. Do I need to submit my certification to my state or local government?No. Section 2013 of AWIA does not require utilities to submit the certification to state or local governments.How long do I need to keep a copy of my risk and resilience assessment and emergency response plan?Utilities need to keep a copy of both documents for five years after certification.What if I do not have a copy of my most recent risk and resilience assessment?The U.S. EPA intends to destroy vulnerability assessments (VAs) submitted in response to the Bioterrorism Act of 2002, but if utilities would like to have their VA and certification documents mailed to them, contact WSD-Outreach@epa.gov, and on utility letterhead, include the utility name, PWSID, address and point of contact as an attachment to the email.

Agreement, constitute the entire integrated agreement between the OWNER and Engineering
Enterprises, Inc. (EEI) (hereinafter “Agreement”), and take precedence over any other provisions
between the Parties. These terms may be amended, but only if both parties consent in writing.
Standard of Care: In providing services under this Agreement, the ENGINEER will
endeavor to perform in a matter consistent with that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised
by members of the same profession currently practicing under same circumstances in the same
locality. ENGINEER makes no other warranties, express or implied, written or oral under this
Agreement or otherwise, in connection with ENGINEER’S service.
Construction Engineering and Inspection: The ENGINEER shall not supervise, direct,
control, or have authority over any contractor work, nor have authority over or be responsible for
the means, methods, techniques sequences, or procedures of construction selected or used by any
contractor, or the safety precautions and programs incident thereto, for security or safety of the
site, nor for any failure of a contractor to comply with laws and regulations applicable to such
contractor’s furnishing and performing of its work.
The ENGINEER neither guarantees the performance of any contractor nor assumes
responsibility for contractor’s failure to furnish and perform the work in accordance with the
contract documents.
The ENGINEER is not responsible for the acts or omissions of any contractor, subcontractor, or
supplies, or any of their agents or employees or any other person at the site or otherwise
furnishing or performing any work.
Shop drawing and submittal review by the ENGINEER shall apply to only the items in the
submissions and only for the purpose of assessing if upon installation or incorporation in the
project work they are generally consistent with the construction documents. OWNER agrees that
the contractor is solely responsible for the submissions and for compliance with the construction
documents. OWNER further agrees that the ENGINEER’S review and action in relation to these
submissions shall not constitute the provision of means, methods, techniques, sequencing or
procedures of construction or extend or safety programs or precautions. The ENGINEER’S
consideration of a component does not constitute acceptance of the assembled items.
The ENGINEER’S site observation during construction shall be at the times agreed upon in the
Project Scope. Through standard, reasonable means the ENGINEER will become generally
familiar with observable completed work. If the ENGINEER observes completed work that is
inconsistent with the construction documents, that information shall be communicated to the
contractor and OWNER for them to address.
ATTACHMENT A
Opinion of Probable Construction Costs: ENGINEER’S opinion of probable construction
costs represents ENGINEER’S best and reasonable judgment as a professional engineer.
OWNER acknowledges that ENGINEER has no control over construction costs of contractor’s
methods of determining pricing, or over competitive bidding by contractors, or of market
conditions or changes thereto. ENGINEER cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bids or
actual construction costs will not vary from ENGINEER’S opinion of probable construction
costs.
Copies of Documents & Electronic Compatibility: Copies of Documents that may be
relied upon by OWNER are limited to the printed copies (also known as hard copies) that are
signed or sealed by the ENGINEER. Files in electronic media format of text, data, graphics, or of
other types that are furnished by ENGINEER to OWNER are only for convenience of OWNER.
Any conclusion or information obtained or derived from such electronic files will be at the user's
sole risk. When transferring documents in electronic media format, ENGINEER makes no
representations as to long term compatibility, usability, or readability of documents resulting
from the use of software application packages, operating systems, or computer hardware
differing from those used by ENGINEER at the beginning of the project.
Changed Conditions: If, during the term of this Agreement, circumstances or conditions
that were not originally contemplated by or known to the ENGINEER are revealed, to the extent
that they affect the scope of services, compensation, schedule, allocation of risks, or other
material terms of this Agreement, the ENGINEER may call for renegotiation of appropriate
portions of this Agreement. The ENGINEER shall notify the OWNER of the changed conditions
necessitating renegotiation, and the ENGINEER and the OWNER shall promptly and in good
faith enter into renegotiation of this Agreement to address the changed conditions. If terms
cannot be agreed to, the parties agree that either party has the absolute right to terminate this
Agreement, in accordance with the termination provision hereof.
Hazardous Conditions: OWNER represents to ENGINEER that to the best of its

Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of the provision, nor shall it affect the enforceability of
that provision or of the remainder of this Agreement.
Attorney’s Fees: In the event of any action or proceeding brought by either party against the
other under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other all
costs and expenses including without limitation the reasonable fees of its attorneys in such action
or proceeding, including costs of appeal, if any, in such amount as the Court may adjudge

SCOPE OF SERVICES
RISK AND RESILIENCE ASSESSMENT AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANNING
United City of Yorkville, IL
BACKGROUND
The American Water Infrastructure Act (Public Law Number 115-270, passed 10/23/2018)
requires all Community Water Supplies serving populations greater than 3,300 to conduct an
assessment of the risks to, and resilience of, its water system. The Risk and Resilience
Assessment (RRA) must include an assessment of:
• the risk to the system from malevolent acts and natural hazards;
• the resilience of the pipes and constructed conveyances, physical barriers, source water,
water collection and intake, pretreatment, treatment, storage and distribution facilities,
electronic, computer, or other automated systems (including the security of such
systems) which are utilized by the system;
• the monitoring practices of the system;
• the financial infrastructure of the system;
• the use, storage, or handling of various chemicals by the system; and
• the operation and maintenance of the system.
Based on the population served of approximately 18,800, the United City of Yorkville Water
Utility (YWU) must submit to the US EPA Administrator a certification that the system has
conducted a compliant RRA prior to June 30, 2021.
In addition, YWU must prepare or revise, where necessary, an ERP that incorporates findings of
the RRA. YWU must certify to the US EPA Administrator, not later than 6 months after
completion of the RRA, that the system has completed such plan.
Engineering Enterprises Inc. (EEI) will assist YWU in meeting the regulatory requirements of the
American Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 by conducting the following Scope of Services.
Note: The Scope of Services includes using the AWWA Cyber Security Tool to perform an
assessment of utility’s Process Control Systems (SCADA). In the event YWU desires a higher-
level assessment, EEI will incorporate such an assessment conducted by the Information
Technology Department or other resources (e.g. SCADA design consultant) as directed.
TASK A: PROJECT ADMINISTRATION AND FACILITATION
Task A-1: Project Administration
This task includes a Project Kick-off meeting, overall project planning, coordination with the City,
and project management.
Exhibit B – Scope of Services

CONSULTING ENGINEERS
Task A-2: Stakeholder Assistance and Workshops
Stakeholder Involvement is important to the development of the RRA and ERP. It promotes
consensus on risk management priorities among stakeholders and encourages them to take
ownership of the decisions made during the process. It is also required to fulfill the regulatory
requirements of the program.
EEI will assist YWU in designating internal and external stakeholders that will participate in the
development of the RRA and ERP. We anticipate the following stakeholder groupings:
• Program Champion – One (1) Water Utility employee responsible for overall project
coordination.
• Steering Committee – Three (3) to five (5) Water Utility employees (including the
Program Champion) who will review technical information and participate in key
decisions regarding the Utility’s priorities and preferences throughout the project.
• Stakeholder Group – Four to (4) to eight (8) members (including the Steering
Committee) representing organizations inside and outside the water utility who will
participate in Workshops and provide input based on the perspective of the organization
they represent.
EEI will provide YWU with a description of the roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders,
draft invitations to prospective stakeholders, preliminary meeting schedules and topics, and
recommendations for those agencies to include.
EEI will lead up to two (2) Stakeholder Workshops during the development of the RRA and
ERP. It is anticipated that one (1) workshops will be conducted for the RRA and one (1) for the
ERP. For each workshop EEI will provide YWU with relevant information to be distributed
participants prior to the workshop. During the Stakeholder Workshops, EEI will provide general
background and technical information concerning the topics to be presented and discussed.
YWU will be afforded the opportunity to make presentations during the workshops, as desired.
The purpose of the Stakeholder Workshops is to receive comments and suggestions from
participants on how to make the program more effective.
Task A-3: Steering Committee Assistance and Progress Meetings
EEI will lead up to six (6) Steering Committee meetings during the development of the RRA and
ERP. Again, it is anticipated that four (4) meetings will be conducted for the RRA and two (2) for
the ERP. Some of these meeting may be teleconferences. EEI will provide the Steering
Committee with relevant background information prior to each meeting. The meetings will be an
opportunity for YWU to provide input on their priorities and preferences regarding key decisions
during the development of the RRA and ERP.
TASK B – RISK AND RESILIENCE PLAN
Task B-1: Asset Characterization
An Asset Characterization will be completed in accordance with the AWWA/ANSI J-100 Risk
Analysis and Management for Critical Asset Protection (RAMCAP) Standard. The purpose of
Asset Characterization is to determine the water assets that, if compromised, could impair
YWU’s ability to complete its mission.
Exhibit B – Scope of Services
Page 3 of 9
ENGINEERING ENTERPRISES, INC.
CONSULTING ENGINEERS
For Task B-1, EEI will review relevant information from YWU and other sources, facilitate
discussions, provide engineering support, and document decisions by the Steering Committee
as necessary to complete the following tasks:
a) Identify critical functions of YWU and associated assets to determine which assets are
critical to the Utility’s mission.
b) Develop a list of potentially critical assets.
c) Identify the critical internal and external infrastructures that support the potentially critical
assets.
d) Identify and document existing protective countermeasures and mitigation
measures/features associated with the potentially critical assets.
e) Estimate the worst reasonable consequences resulting from the destruction or loss of
each potentially critical asset, without regard to the threat.
f) Prioritize the potentially critical assets using the estimated consequences.
g) Identify critical assets by screening the prioritized list using criteria relevant to the
decisions to be made.
Task B-2: Threat Characterization
A Threat Characterization will be completed in accordance with the AWWA/ANSI J-100 Risk
Analysis and Management for Critical Asset Protection (RAMCAP) Standard. The threats to be
considered will include man-made hazards or accidents, natural hazards, and dependency
hazards (interruptions of supply chains or proximity to dangerous sites). The specific threats in
each category will consider the Reference Threats defined by the RAMCAP methodology (see
table on below). Other threats may be added at the utility’s discretion.

For Task B-2, EEI will review relevant information from YWU and other sources, facilitate
discussions, provide engineering support, and document decisions by the Steering Committee
as necessary to complete the following tasks:
a) For malevolent threats, EEI will describe the numbers and capabilities of the
adversaries; capabilities include weapons types, equipment, tools, explosives, tactics,
and means of delivery/transport.
b) For natural hazards, EEI will describe all earthquakes, floods, wildfires, ice storms, and
tornadoes that have occurred or could occur in the location of the facility. Define the
range of the magnitudes from the smallest that would cause serious harm to the largest
reasonable case. These threats should be included in the analysis.
c) For dependency hazards, EEI will describe all interruptions of utilities, suppliers,
employees, customers, and transportation, and proximity to dangerous neighboring
sites.
d) EEI will develop and apply a ranking system to evaluate threat–asset pairs and make
recommendations for bottom-cutting.
e) EEI will identify which threats apply to which assets and rank the threat–asset pairs
according to the judged magnitude of the resulting consequences.
f) EEI will assist in selecting the critical threat–asset pairs to be included in the rest of the
analysis process, or choose to evaluate all threat–asset pairs. In general, these threat–
asset pairs are the objects of analysis throughout the rest of the process
Task B-3: Consequence Analysis
This task identifies the worst reasonable consequences that can be caused by the specific
threat-asset pairs identified in Task 2-B. The consequence analysis will consider:
• Number of fatalities • Number of serious injuries,
• Financial loss to the owners of the facility • Economic losses to the community
The consequence analysis may be based upon reasonable estimates. Consequences relate to
degradation in public confidence, environmental quality, the ability of civilian or military agencies
to function, etc. using a qualitative, descriptive analyses.
For Task B-3, EEI will review relevant information from YWU and other sources, facilitate
discussions, provide engineering support, and document decisions by the Steering Committee
as necessary to complete the following tasks:
a) Apply worst-reasonable-case assumptions for each threat critical threat-asset pair and
document the assumptions for each case.
b) Estimate the consequences in terms of loss of life and serious injury, financial losses to
the Water Utility, duration and severity of service denial for the affected customers, and
economic losses to society and the public.
c) Evaluate additional consequences if desired.
Exhibit B – Scope of Services

d) Document the specific assumptions and procedures used for performing this
consequence analysis, the worst-reasonable-case assumptions, and the results of the
consequence analysis.
e) Record the consequence values for use in determining Risk and Resilience values (Task
B-6).
Task B-4: Vulnerability Analysis
This task analyzes the ability of each critical asset and its protective systems to withstand each
specified threat. Vulnerability analysis for malevolent events estimates the likelihood that an
adversary will be successful in executing a specific attack mode on an asset, given that the
attack occurs. For natural hazards, dependency hazards, and proximity hazards, the
vulnerability is the likelihood that, given the hazard occurs, the estimated consequences will
ensue.
For Task B-4, EEI will review relevant information from YWU and other sources, facilitate
discussions, provide engineering support, and document decisions by the Steering Committee
as necessary to complete the following tasks:
a) Review pertinent details of the facility construction, systems, and layout. Evaluate
existing countermeasures, mitigation measures, and other impediments to threats, such
as topographic, design, and equipment features that provide deterrence, detection
systems, and delay features, and local and supporting response measures. Evaluate
information on interdependencies, personnel interactions, and process flows within the
facility and identify vulnerabilities or weaknesses in the protection system.
b) Analyze the vulnerability of each critical asset or system to estimate the likelihood that,
given the occurrence of a threat, the consequences estimated will result.
c) Document the method used for performing the vulnerability analysis, the worst-
reasonable-case assumptions, and the results of the vulnerability analysis.
d) Record the vulnerability estimates as point estimates. The likelihood of attack success
will be expressed as a fraction representing the number of successes among attempts.
Task B-5: Threat Analysis
This task estimates the likelihood of malevolent event, dependency/proximity hazard, or natural
hazard. There are three methods allowed by the J-100 RAMCAP process. EEI will use the most
appropriate method given the specific threat being analyzed.
For Task B-5, EEI will review relevant information from YWU and other sources, facilitate
discussions, provide engineering support, and document decisions by the Steering Committee
as necessary to complete the following tasks:
a) Malevolent Threats. Estimate the likelihood of a malevolent event is based on the
adversary’s objectives and capabilities and the attractiveness of the region, facility, and
threat–asset pair relative to alternative targets. Any among the following three
approaches to estimating malevolent threat likelihood may be used:
i. Proxy Measure—Proxy measures may be based on attractiveness of utility, size
of metropolitan area, amount of governmental facilities in the area, or other
Exhibit B – Scope of Services

attributes and be provided by industry or other organizations to provide a
common basis for evaluation of risk from malevolent threats.
ii. Best Estimate—With this method, likelihood is determined based on informed
experience of the organization, input from federal, state, and local law
enforcement, and others. The likelihood will be either an ordinal measure, e.g.,
low, medium, high, very high, or can be a probability with a value between 0.0
and 1.0.
iii. Conditional Assignment—With this method, the likelihood of the threat is
considered to be a probability of 1.0. This is a useful approach for examining the
worst-case potential for a variety of malevolent threats.
b) Natural Hazards. Estimate the probability of natural hazards by drawing on the historical
record for the specific location of the asset. The frequencies for various levels of severity
of natural hazards will be estimated using published records for earthquakes, tornadoes,
and floods.
c) Dependency and Proximity Hazards. Estimate the likelihood of dependency hazards
based on local historical records for the frequency, severity, and duration of service
denials.
d) Record Estimates. Record the method used for making the estimates and the estimates
themselves, as either single-valued point estimates or ranges.
Task B-6: Risk and Resilience Analysis
This task step combines the results from Tasks B-1 through B-5 into estimates of YWU ’s risk
and resilience.
For Task B-6, EEI will review relevant information from YWU and other sources, facilitate
discussions, provide engineering support, and document decisions by the Steering Committee
as necessary to complete the following tasks:
a) Calculate risk for each threat–asset pair as the product of the results from Consequence
Analysis, Vulnerability Analysis, and Threat Analysis, using the following equation:
Risk = Consequences × Vulnerability × Threat Likelihood = C × V × T
Where: Consequences are as estimated in Task B-3, Vulnerability is as
estimated in Task B-4, and Threat likelihood is as estimated in Task B-5.
b) Calculate the current level of resilience.
i. The asset resilience metric is service denial due to a threat–asset pair, weighted
by vulnerability and threat likelihood.
Asset Resilience Metric = Duration × Severity × Vulnerability × Threat
Likelihood
Where: Duration = the time period of service denial, in days
Severity = the amount of daily service denied, in gallons per day
Vulnerability and Threat Likelihood are as defined above.
Exhibit B – Scope of Services
Page 7 of 9

CONSULTING ENGINEERS
ii. The economic resilience metric is lost revenue to the utility owner due to the
threat–asset pair. Lost revenue is asset resilience times the unit price of the
service, where price is the pre-disruption price.
iii. The community economic resilience metric is the lost economic activity to the
community served by the utility. For the community, the metric is the same as the
economic loss to the community, estimated in Task B-3.
c) Record the risk and resilience estimates for each threat–asset pair for use in Task 7.
Task B-7 - Risk and Resilience Management
Risk and resilience management is the deliberate process of deciding whether actions are
needed to enhance security or resilience or both. It includes deciding on and implementing one
or a portfolio of options to achieve an acceptable level of risk and resilience at an acceptable
cost to the utility and the community.
For Task B-7, EEI will review relevant information from YWU and other sources, facilitate
discussions, provide engineering support, and document decisions by the Steering Committee
as necessary to complete the following tasks:
a) Decide what risk and resilience levels are acceptable by examining the estimated results
of the first six steps for each threat–asset pair. For those that are acceptable, document
the decision. For those that are not acceptable, proceed to the next steps.
b) Define countermeasure and mitigation/resilience options for those threat–asset pairs that
are not acceptable.
c) Estimate investment and operating costs of each option, being sure to include regular
maintenance and periodic overhaul if expected. Adjust future costs to present value.
d) Assess the options by analyzing the facility or asset under the assumption that the
option has been implemented—revisiting all affected Tasks B-3 through B-6 to re-
estimate the risk and resilience levels and calculating the estimated benefits of the
option (the difference between the risk and resilience levels without the option and those
with the option in place).
e) Identify the options that have benefits that apply to multiple threat– asset pairs.
f) Calculate the net benefits and benefit–cost ratio (and/or other criteria that are relevant in
the utility’s resource decision-making) to estimate the total value and risk-reduction
efficiency of each option.
g) Review the options considering all the dimensions—fatalities, serious injuries, financial
losses to the owner, economic losses to the community, and qualitative factors—and
allocate resources to the selected options. Determine the resources—financial, human,
and other—needed to operate the selected options.
Task B-8 - Risk and Resilience Assessment Documentation
For Task B-8, EEI will document the procedures, findings, and results of the RRA process. The
document will contain a description the results of Tasks B-1 through B-7, Stakeholder Workshop

meeting attendees and minutes, a plan for implementing agreed upon operational and capital
plans for decreasing risk and improving resilience.
TASK C: EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
Task C-1 – Review Existing Emergency Response Plan
The American Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 requires all Community Water Supplies to
update their ERPs to incorporate the results of the RRA (Task B). Specifically, the update must
address the following:
• Strategies and resources to improve the resilience of the system, including the physical
security and cybersecurity of the system;
• Plans and procedures that can be implemented, and identification of equipment that can
be utilized, in the event of a malevolent act or natural hazard that threatens the ability of
the community water system to deliver safe drinking water;
• Actions, procedures, and equipment which can obviate or significantly lessen the impact
of a malevolent act or natural hazard on the public health and the safety and supply of
drinking water provided to communities and individuals, including the development of
alternative source water options, relocation of water intakes, and construction of flood
protection barriers; and
• Strategies that can be used to aid in the detection of malevolent acts or natural hazards
that threaten the security or resilience of the system.
For Task C-1, EEI will review YWU’s existing ERP and create a detailed plan for updating it to
meet the requirements of the American Water Infrastructure Act of 2018.
Task C-2: Draft Emergency Response Plan
For Task C-2, EEI will update the YWU ’s existing ERP incorporating the results of the RRA in
accordance with the requirements of the American Water Infrastructure Act of 2018. The Draft
ERP will be submitted to YWU for review and comment.
EEI will use the Community Water System Emergency Response Plan template provided by the
EPA Office of Water (EPA 816-B-19-003) as the guiding document in preparing the ERP. The
plan will include the following sections:

ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT
NPDES PERMIT FOR STORM WATER DISCHARGES
FROM MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEMS (MS4)
UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE, IL: MARCH 2019 TO MARCH 2020
THE FOLLOWING ITEMS MUST BE ADDRESSED.
A. CHANGES TO BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMP CHANGES).
The City did not make any changes to their Best Management Practices program or Stormwater Management
Program Plan (SMPP) over the past year and does not have any planned modifications for the upcoming year.
However, the City is continually investigating opportunities to enhance their program each year as budget
and staff considerations allow.
B. STATUS OF COMPLIANCE WITH PERMIT CONDITIONS AND ASSESSMENT OF THE
APPROPRIATENESS OF THE IDENTIFIED BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES TOWARDS
ACHIEVING THE STATUTORY GOAL OF REDUCING THE DISCHARGE OF POLLUTANTS
TO THE MEP, AND THE IDENTIFIED MEASURABLE GOALS FOR EACH OF THE MINIMUM
CONTROL MEASURES.
The City has endeavored to meet the requirements of the permit conditions as outlined in the SMPP and in
consideration of current staffing and budget constraints. The status of the permit activities for the reporting
period is as follows.
Public Education and Outreach
The City maintains an information center at City Hall that includes informational items regarding stormwater
related issues. The City staff regularly reviews current available materials in their information center at City
Hall to compare with requirements and the topic list from the General Permit. This will be an ongoing effort
to keep educational materials current and relevant to resident and stormwater pollution prevention needs.
The City is in compliance with minimum control measures by providing public education and outreach
materials at the City Hall and on its website.
Public Participation and Involvement
The City maintains documentation on the number and type of calls received from the public regarding
potential illicit discharges. The City received seven drainage complaint calls and no illicit discharge
complaints during this reporting period. The City supports recycling and includes a recycling program and
regular collection with their solid waste and recycling collection provider. The City also maintains a call-in
free of charge electronics recycling program through their solid waste and recycling collection provider.
The City held a Public Meeting at their Plan Commission Meeting, on July 10, 2019, that included a
presentation of drainage and stormwater management and provided an opportunity for input from the public
on the stormwater program.
The above activities demonstrate the City’s compliance with minimum control measures for Public
Participation and Involvement.
IEPA MS4 2019-2020 Annual Report
United City of Yorkville
Page 2 of 4
Construction Site Runoff Control
The City tracks site development permits issued and requires compliance with Construction Runoff Controls
in their ordinances where required. The City documents citizen complaints, if any, regarding construction
site runoff and implements and documents follow up procedures. There were no citizen complaints regarding
erosion control during the reporting period. However, the City inspects construction sites for erosion and
sediment control as required by the NPDES Permit and the City’s Erosion and Sediment Control provisions
in their Stormwater Ordinance and takes enforcement action as necessary.
.
The above activities demonstrate the City’s compliance with minimum control measures for Construction
Site Runoff Control.
Post Construction Site Runoff Control
The City developed a database of basins and provides support and assistance for citizens regarding post
construction runoff control on an as requested basis. However, no post construction runoff basin related
complaints from citizens were received. The City maintains a database of Home Owners Associations (HOA)
and encourages HOAs to inspect and maintain their stormwater management basins and makes information
available and provides assistance on an as needed basis when requested by HOAs. The City requires new
developments to enter into maintenance agreements for stormwater facilities. All new developments
requiring stormwater basins during the reporting period were required to submit a maintenance plan for
approval by the City.
The City continued implementation of their Basin Monitoring Program from their SMPP. 25% of the Basins
in the City were inspected in the program year and maintenance recommendations were provided to Basin
owners.
The City is in compliance with minimum control measures for Post Construction Runoff Control because
their ordinances address post construction requirements and City staff responds to citizen complaints and
HOA requests for information and assistance.
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
The City maintains and updates as necessary their stormwater Outfall Inventory. In addition, the City tracks
the number and types of Illicit Discharges and the steps taken to eliminate the discharge as potential
discharges are brought to their attention. There were no potential illicit discharges reported during the
reporting period and no citation issued for discharge of waste oil into the storm sewer system. The City staff
will take action if problems with the outfalls or illicit discharges are reported to the City.
The City is in compliance with the minimum control measures for Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
because they have ordinances and procedures in place to address and correct illicit discharge when they are
discovered. The City takes action as necessary in accordance with these ordinances when illicit discharges
or problems with stormwater outfalls are reported.
Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping
The City provided services and maintained records for the following good housekeeping activities: number
of curb miles swept, amount of leaves collected, amount of road salt used, number of catch basins cleaned,
and the amount of herbicides and pesticides used, and training provided for employees. Due to budget
constraints, no formal NPDES training was provided to employees; however, employees are kept informed
on best management practices through implementation of the SMPP. In addition, the City investigated
methods for tracking BMP implementation and resultant pollutant load reduction and keeping and regularly
updating the BMP inventory.
