5 PMg Pl\lg May 6,2014 Linda Dorrell Purchasing Director Tulsa County 500 South Denver Tulsa, OK RE: FY2014/2015 Agreement with U.S. Geological Survey to cost-share the annual expense of the Dissolved Oxygen monitoring at the Arkansas River 11 th Street gage in Zink Lake in support of the Vision 2025 Arkansas River Low-Water Dam Projects Dear Linda, Attached are four original Joint Funding Agreements previously executed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to continue the Dissolved Oxygen (DO) monitoring that was installed at the 11 th Street Gage on the Arkansas River in The DO monitoring was initiated as part of the agreement between Tulsa County and USGS to perform the sediment study of the Arkansas River. The 11th Street Arkansas River Gage collects important flow and water quality data in the river and reports these data hourly. Current and historical water quality data are available to the public and data users in real-time via the Internet. DO is an important water quality indicator that is needed to determine current water quality in the river as well as for predicting future impacts from the proposed low-water dam projects. Water quality studies for the Arkansas River have used the data collected to conduct the modeling and water quality evaluation of the Arkansas River concerning potential impacts from the Zink Dam improvements and the other proposed low-water dams. Future monitoring, water quality modeling and operational strategies will also utilize these data to manage water quality impacts. The USGS is the federal agency that is responsible for establishing and maintaining these monitoring gages nationwide and also for publishing the data collected. This cost share program is utilized by USGS and local sponsors nationwide to collect site-specific data of this kind. The annual cost to Tulsa County, as the local sponsor, to maintain the DO monitor in the river will be $2,900 and will be matched equally by federal funds from USGS for the annual monitoring period from July 1, 2014 to June 30, Funding from Vision 2025 in support of the Arkansas River Low-water Dam projects is proposed to be used to pay for this agreement, as the data collected will be used to evaluate future DO impacts from the proposed low-water dams in Vision Program :Management Group, L.L.C. 601 S.
