1.2 Local Wastewater SDC Formula for the River Road/Santa ClaraMighway 99 Area <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 in 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 />1.2.4 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 Regional Wastewater System (Regional Facility Equalization Charge) <br />2.1 Regional Wastewater SDC Formula <br />In addition to the local wastewater SDC collected, a Metropolitan Wastewater Management <br />Commission (MWMC) Facility Equalization Charge (also know as the MWMC SDC or the <br />Regional 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 />treatment capacity. This charge is imposed on all new connections for all new or existing <br />development 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 />methodology pursuant to EC 2.019 and 2.020. The regional wastewater SDC is calculated the <br />same way for all development, including the River Road/Santa Clara/Highway 99 Area. <br />The regional wastewater SDC is designed to have new development and those connecting <br />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 unit resulting in a base charge. Development is credited for any property tax payments <br />made in the past toward the MWMC bond debt. Depending on the year that a property was <br />annexed, the charge is equal to the difference between the base charge and the credit. Figure <br />5 graphically depicts the methodology used to calculate the regional wastewater SDC. <br />For the present value of local equity please refer to Table 5 in this Appendix. <br />The base 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 />:local equity. The regional wastewater SDC per fixture unit (PFU), is derived by dividing the <br />regional wastewater SDC rate per EDU by 16. To derive the regional wastewater SDC rate <br />based on historic consumption,. divide the regional wastewater SDC rate per EDU by 6. The <br />regional wastewater SDC rates per EDUs, PFUs, and historic consumption can be found in <br />Appendix G in the current adopted SDC fee schedule... For more detailed and .specific <br />numerical data on EDU and PFU calculations, see Table 5. For formula illustrations, see <br />Figure 5 in this Appendix. <br />May 1, 1997 City of Eugene SDC Methodology Page D-6 <br />
