The transportation SDC for a proposed development is determined by multiplying the units which <br />describe the impact by the trip rate to determine the number of trips assigned to the proposed <br />development using the Transportation Trip Rates attachment in AppendixB and the cost per trip in <br />the current adopted SDC fee schedule in Appendix F. <br />4.0 .Local (City) and Regional Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) <br />Regional Wastewater Systems <br />Collection of the wastewater SDC includes both a local (City) and regional (MWMC) system charge. <br />4.1 Local Wastewater System <br />The local wastewater SDC is based upon estimated wastewater flow discharge (impact on <br />and/or use of system capacity) from various development types. A unit cost of capacity in terms <br />of cost per gallon per day is .established and used to determine SDC rates. For residential <br />development the rate is based on number of dwelling units and area of living space. -For non- <br />residential development the rate is based on number of PFUs and the proposed development <br />type. The detailed analysis, methods for calculating, and the Cost of Service formula for the <br />local wastewater system can be found in Appendix C. The local wastewater SDC rates can be <br />found in the current adopted fee schedule in Appendix F. <br />The local wastewater SDC for a proposed development is determined by: <br />~ Number of Residential Dwelling Units (RDU) and area of living space for single-family, <br />duplex, multiple-family, and other residential development <br />a Plumbing Fixture Units (PFU) and proposed development type for other than <br />residential dwelling units (e.g., Commercial, Industrial) <br />4.2 Regional Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) <br />Wastewater System <br />The City of Eugene entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the City of Springfield <br />and Lane County in 1978 which established the Metropolitan Wastewater Management <br />Commission. On May 15, 1997, the Commission adopted the MWMC wastewater Systems <br />Development Charge which includes a regional administrative charge. In accordance with the <br />agreement, the City of Eugene must adopt rates and charges not less than those required by <br />the Commission. <br />-The MWMC wastewater SDC formula is based on the allocation of costs of existing or <br />planned capacity to Average Flow, Peak Flow, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and <br />Suspended Solids (SS) components of the regional facilities. These cost allocations are used <br />to derive a cost per Flow Estimation Unit (FEU), for each type of land use. The regional <br />wastewater SDC is determined by multiplying the applicable FEU rate per unit of measure for <br />a specific land use type, by the units of measure for the proposed development. The regional <br />wastewater system Cost of Service formula per unit of development can be found in Appendix <br />C. The regional (MWMC) wastewater SDC rates can be found in the current adopted fee <br />schedule in Appendix F. <br />The MWMC wastewater SDC Methodology provides that a review of the Capital Improvement <br />Plan (CIP) will be initiated at such time as any single development with an anticipated <br />discharge of 100,000 gallons per day or more applies for a building permit or for connection <br />to the system. The purpose of this review is to determine if the demand placed on the <br />regional system by that new user will require a change in the timing of future capital projects <br />that will impact the amount of the regional wastewater SDC. If this occurs, the <br />City of Eugene SDC Methodology Page 9 <br />
