48. AGREEMENT WITH SCHMIDT RANCH LLC FOR PROVISION OF WATER SERVICE FROM SEVEN SPRINGS WATER PONDS Approve the Exchange of Services Agreement between the County of Maricopa, acting through the Maricopa County Department of Transportation and Schmidt Ranch LLC, a private entity for the provision of water service from Seven Springs water ponds to service and maintain Seven Springs Road in the vicinity of the surrounding area. There is no direct cost associated for this service. The owner of Schmidt Ranch, Terry Schmidt, will allow the County staff, acting through MCDOT Operations Division, to draw water from the Seven Springs water ponds for use by the County to service and maintain Seven Springs Road in the surrounding vicinity. In exchange, the County will provide a courtesy grade to level the high and low areas of Seven Spring Road surrounding the water pond at Schmidt Ranch at least four times per calendar year. The surrounding area of the pond is approximately a 0.5 mile loop. A benefit to the County would result in reduced travel necessary to obtain water from another location, an approximate 22 mile round trip. In addition, by retrieving the water on site, the County is able to better address the PM-10 standards for dust containment. Supervisory District No. 2 (C-91-10-005-M-00)
