Attachment #7 of Exhibit A <br />Administrative Order No. 58-97-07-F <br />Page 1 of 6 <br />METHODOLOGY: <br />City of Eugene Systems Development Charges <br />Appendix D <br />Wastewater System Charge Detail <br />2.0 Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) System Development <br />Charge (Regional Wastewater Charge) <br />2.1 MWMC SDC Formula <br />in addition to the local wastewater SDC collected, a Metropolitan Wastewater'Management <br />Commission (MWMC) Systems Development ,.Charge, (also known as the Regional <br />Wastewater SDC) will be collected-on all new connections to the system. This charge is a <br />combined, reimbursement and improvement SDC. The Charge is meant to recoup the <br />region's investment in reserve sewage treatmen# capacity and recover an equitable share <br />of the capital necessary to increase capacity for new development. This charge is imposed " <br />on all new connections by all new or existing development in the Eugene-Springfield area, <br />and fore expansion or changes in use of existing development that increase impact on the <br />MWMC facilities. When recommended by MWMC,.the City will adopt amendments to this <br />methodology pursuant, to EC 2.019 and 2.020. <br />The reimbursement fee is based on the current value of the regional wastewater facilities <br />in place on the date. the rate is established. Outstanding debt and .any state and federal <br />grants are subtracted from this amount to determine the local equity. An analysis of the. <br />regional wastewater facilities reveals that there are several individual measures of capacity <br />which impact cost and together determine the overall capacity of the regional wastewater. <br />system. .These measures of capacity are average flow, peak flow; biochemical Qxygen <br />demand (BOD), and suspended solids (SS). The present capacity. of the wastewater <br />facilities are shown in Table 5. Based. upon the regional system analysis, the value of the <br />regional'system is allocated to each.of these types of capacity, reflected in the percentages <br />shown in Table 5. Costs per unit of each capacity measurement can- be determined by <br />dividing each measurements allocation of .local equity by its capacity. <br />.The improvement fee is based an the estimated future cost of capacity-increasing projects <br />included in the MWMC five year capital improvement program at the -time the fee is <br />• calculated, the allocation of that future cost to the .capacity measurements, and, the amount <br />of each typeof capacity being increased for each element. MWMC intends to maintain a <br />" twenty year schedule of capital projects and for individual capacity-increasing. capital projects <br />to be scheduled to begin when one or more of the individual measurements of capacity are <br />estimated #o reach 85% of their design.. Projects will move into the MWMC CIP as their <br />scheduled construction year enters the CIP's five year window. <br />July 7, 1997 City of Eugene SDC Methodology Page D-6 <br />
