The upper evaporation pond now holds approximately 450,000 gallons of wastewater/sludge. If any of the Options 1 through 4 are exercised, the Government will make additional wastewater/sludge available for pumping from the upper evaporation pond.

If the metering method will not be used, the Contractor shall provide an accurate and certifiable method for measuring all wastewater/sludge removed from the Hoover Dam evaporation ponds. This "alternate" measuring method must be approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative prior to commencement of Phase 1 and any of the Options 1 through 4. The "alternate" measuring method shall not require the presence of Bureau of Reclamation personnel at the Hoover Dam evaporation ponds at the times of wastewater/sludge collections. PLEASE NOTE: There are no level indication devices installed at the Hoover Dam evaporation ponds. There is also an automatically controlled pumped flow to the Hoover Dam evaporation ponds which could occur at frequent intervals. There is no flow meter installed to measure the flow into the Hoover Dam evaporation ponds. It is the Contractor's responsibility to verify and obtain all required permits, licenses, etc. required by the states of Arizona and Nevada for transporting this wastewater/sludge. To restate, for Phase 1: approximately 400,000 gallons of wastewater/sludge need to be pumped, transported, and emptied into the Boulder City sewage treatment ponds by February 15, 2000.
