The scope of this request includes, but is not limited to, the following information regarding
land-application of WRRF biosolids:
Correspondence between the City, any other owner or operator of the WRRF,
and/or anyone licensed or authorized by the City to operate the WRRF and local
companies, landowners/operators, or any other entities or persons regarding land-
application of WRRF biosolids within a half mile to the East, West, and/or South of
the WRRF;
Agreements, both draft and final, between the City, any other owner or operator of
the WRRF, and/or anyone licensed or authorized by the City to operate the WRRF
and local companies, landowners/operators, or any other entities or persons for
the sale, transfer, and/or collection of WRRF biosolids for land application within a
half mile to the East, West, and/or South of the WRRF; and
Records related to any such transactions for sale/transfer of biosolids including,
for example: (1) manifests of volumes sold, transferred, collected and/or applied;
(2) records relating to the quality (i.e., Class A/EQ or Class B) of biosolids sold,
transferred, collected and/or applied; and (3) records relating to contaminant

If there are records, reports, or documents pertaining to this request, we request copies
of such materials. In the absence of specific records, please provide a written confirmation
of the same. In accordance with Gov’t Code § 6253, Hogan Lovells agrees to pay
reasonable fees incurred by you in responding to this request. In the event that such fees

Thank you for your assistance.
