EXHIBIT B <br />Regional Wastewater System (Regional Facility Equalization'Charge) <br />1. Regional Wastewater SDC Formula <br />In addition to the local wastewater SDC collected, a Metro 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 <br />sewage treatment capacity. This charge is imposed on all new. connections for all new or <br />:existing development in the Eugene-Springfield area as recommended by the MWMC <br />approved methodology. ;This charge shall. be adjusted from time to time to account for <br />inflation when recommended by MWMC without going throughthe process to amend this <br />Appendix D or the Methodologies. The regional wastewater SDC is calculated the same <br />wayforall development, including the River Road/Santa Clara/Highway 99 Area. <br />The regional wastewater SDC is designed to have new development and those <br />connecting for the first time in'River Road/Santa Clara/Highway 99 Area "buy-in" to the <br />existing local investment or equity in the treatment plant.. Local investment or equity is <br />determined by netting out current liabilities, grants and outstanding,debtfrgm the present <br />value of MWMC- assets. The total local investment is then divided by the total potential <br />service units to derive a cost per unit resulting in a base charge.. Development is credited <br />for any property. tax payments made in the past toward fhe .MWMC bond debt. Depending <br />on the year that a property was annexed, the charge is equal to the difference between the <br />.base. charge and the credit:... Figure B-1 graphically depicts the methodology used to <br />calculate the regional wastewater SDC . <br />For the present value of local equity please refer to Table B-1 in this Exhibit B. <br />The base regional wastewater SDC per EDU is calculated by dividing the. potential <br />number'of equivalent dwelling units (EDIJs) that can be served by the regional treatment <br />planf into the local equity: The regional wastewater SDC, per fixture unit (PFU), is derived <br />by dividing the regional wastewater-.SDC rate per EDU by 16. To derive. the, regional <br />wastewater $DC,rate based on historic consumption, divide the regional wastewater_SDC <br />rate per EDU by 6. The regional wastewater SDC. rates per EDUs, PFUs, and historic <br />consumption can be found in Appendix G in the current adopted SDC,fee schedule. For <br />more detailed and specific. numerical. data -on EDU and PFU calculations, see Table .B-1. <br />For.formula illustrations, see Figure B-1 in this Exhibit. <br />Exhibit B to Administrative Order No. 58-97-02-F-1 <br />
