I met with Mr. Joe Sloan and Ms. Kathy Moore of the city and was joined by Carol Moulton from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). We presented our credentials, informing them this was an EPA inspection to determine compliance with the Clean Water Act regarding sanitary sewer overflows from the sanitary sewer collection system. The scope of the inspection is a full compliance evaluation. FACILITY DESCRIPTION The City of Crowley serves approximately 18,000 +residents, with 5,649 residential connections, 210 commercial connections, 6 industrial connections, as well as has 54 septic systems with agricultural zones. New subdivisions are already planned. It is projected there will be approximately 25,000 residents at build-out. All areas that have sewer lines are connected and routed through the sanitary sewer collection system to the Village Creek Wastewater Reclamation Facility (VCWRF) that is owned and operated by the City of Fort Worth. The City's sanitary sewer collection system consists ofapproximately 59 miles of pipe with no lift stations. The sanitary sewer pipe is about 30% PVC, 25% ductile iron, 25% vitrified clay, and the last 20% other (such as cement). The oldest neighborhoods were built in the SO's and 60's. The City currently has five (5) full-time employees dedicated to both water and wastewater operations. The staff is enough to handle the base general operations, although based on the interview, 2-3 more full-time employees would be ideal due to the needs. A total of 12 employees would be necessary at full build-out of the city. Section II- OBSERVATIONS Prior to the meeting, the City sent some electronic information of 550 reports and questionnaire, with more detailed information requested ahead of time for review during the inspection. The city also prepared several documents for EPA in advance and presented it at the meeting. During the opening meeting, Crowley staff explained there is no Capacity, Management, Operations, & Maintenance (CMOM) program. However, there are components of a program. While there no formal Asset Management system, in 2014 the city started using "lncode" software for work order generation and tracking and just recently added Ggeographic information system (GIS) mapping. However, the work order system is not connected to the GIS mapping at this time. The plans are to interface the two software programs next year. "Laserfiche" will be used for record keeping as old work orders are scanned into the system. 2
