<br /> i . <br /> 1.2 ~ Local Wastewater SDC Formula for the River Road/Santa ClaraMighway 99 Area <br /> II <br /> ~ This charge is a reimbursement for the City's portion of the cost of the sewer system for the <br /> River Road/Santa Clara/Highway 99 Area identified in Attachment 2. The local wastewater <br /> SDC collected in the River Road/Santa Clara/Highway 99 Area is based on the developable <br /> acres i~ the area and on the trunk sewer, pump station and force main costs in the area net <br /> of federal grants and equivalent assessments. <br /> ',1.2.1 Local Wastewater SDC Rates For All New and Existing Development <br /> ,For the local wastewater SDC charge in the River Road/Santa Clara and Highway 99 <br /> .Areas, in lieu of charging on the basis of EDU/plumbing fixture rates, the local <br /> ~~wastewater SDC will be levied equal to the square footage (lot size) of the connecting <br /> property, multiplied by the rate per square foot. <br /> 2.0 Regio al Wastewater System (Regional Facility Equalization Charge) <br /> 2.1 Regional Wastewater SDC Formula <br /> In addi ion to the local wastewater SDC collected, a Metropolitan Wastewater Management <br /> Commi lion (MWMC) Facility Equalization Charge (also know as the MWMC SDC or the <br /> Region I Wastewater SDC) will be collected on all new connections to the system. This <br /> charge is a reimbursement SDC meant to recoup the region's investment in reserve sewage <br /> treatm nt capacity. This charge is imposed on all new connections for all new or existing <br /> develo ment in the Eugene-Springfield area as recommended by the MWMC approved <br /> methodology. When recommended by MWMC, the City will adopt amendments to this <br /> methodplogy pursuant to EC 2.019 and 2.020. The regional wastewater SDC is calculated the <br /> same ~ay for all development, including the River Road/Santa Clara/Highway 99 Area. <br /> The re Tonal wastewater SDC is designed to have new development and those connecting <br /> i for the first time in River Road/Santa Clara/Highway 99 Area "buy-in" to the existing local <br /> investment or equity in the treatment plant. Local investment or equity is determined by netting <br /> out current liabilities, grants and outstanding debt from the present value of MWMC assets. <br /> The total local investment is then divided by the total potential service units to derive a cost <br /> per uni resulting in a base charge. Development is credited for any property tax payments <br /> made i the past toward the MWMC bond debt. Depending on the year that a property was <br /> annexe ,the charge is equal to the difference between the base charge and the credit. Figure <br /> 5 grap ically depicts the methodology used to calculate the regional wastewater SDC. <br /> For thellpresent value of local equity please refer to Table 5 in this Appendix. <br /> The ba$e regional wastewater SDC per EDU is calculated by dividing the potential number of <br /> equivalent dwelling units (EDUs) that can be served by the regional treatment plant into the <br /> locale uity. The regional wastewater SDC per fixture unit (PFU), is derived by dividing the <br /> regiona wastewater SDC rate per EDU by 16. To derive the regional wastewater SDC rate <br /> based n historic consumption, divide the regional wastewater SDC rate per EDU by 6. The <br /> region I wastewater SDC rates per EDUs, PFUs, and historic consumption can be found in <br /> Appen ix G in the current adopted SDC fee schedule. For more detailed and specific <br /> numerical data on EDU and PFU calculations, see Table 5.
