City Council Report
Agenda Date: 6/6/2018,
Item No.93
Authorization to Enter Into Lease Agreement with Maricopa County for
Groundwater Monitoring Well Site within Sonoran Preserve (Ordinance S-44690)
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into a lease
agreement with Maricopa County, a political subdivision of the State of Arizona
(County), for a groundwater monitoring well site located within the Sonoran Preserve,
near Carefree Highway and 40th Street, for a 25-year term, with two additional five-
year options to extend. The County will pay a consideration fee of $2,400 per year,
plus applicable taxes. Further request authorization for the City Treasurer to accept all
funds related to this item.
Summary
The lease agreement is for access, construction, installation, maintenance and
continuous monitoring of the groundwater monitoring well network (Well). The site,
including access, consists of approximately 4,000 square feet. The purpose of the Well
is to delineate contamination downgradient of the landfill, monitor the performance of
the site remedy and provide early detection of impacted groundwater migration
towards City drinking wells. The County will have temporary rights to use
approximately 6,750 square feet of additional space during construction of the Well.
The County is under a consent order from the Arizona Department of Environmental
Quality (ADEQ) to characterize the nature and extent of groundwater contamination at
Maricopa County's Cave Creek Landfill (CCL), and prepare a Remedial Action Plan to
address possible contamination. The results of recent monitoring performed by the
County suggest that the existing well network no longer adequately defines the extent
of site groundwater contamination.
To comply with Arizona law, the requirements of the Resource Conversation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) and consent order between the County and ADEQ, the County
has conducted groundwater characterization activities, developed a Remedial Action
Plan (RAP) and is in the process of implementing ADEQ-approved remedial activities
to address contamination. If appropriate action is not taken, the impacted groundwater
will migrate south of CCL in the direction of prevailing groundwater flow, which is
towards downgradient City drinking water wells.
