The refinement of the facility component allocation process for MWMC relates to recognition of peak flow management costs. While it is likely that future project lists will include projects entirely related to peak flow management, it is also likely that portions of projects relating to various aspects of the treatment process (e.g., secondary treatment) will also playa role in future peak flow management. The following question needs to be answered when allocating project costs to facility components: IIWhich specific facility component does the project expand or improve?" If the project expands or improves more than one facility component, then project costs should be apportioned relative to the expansion or improvement of each applicable component. The allocation fractions from Table 3 are used to distribute costs by facility component to capacity parameter, as was done for the existing system cost allocations. The basis for these allocations is described in Appendix B. ' Step 1-3 of the project cost allocation methodology is to allocate costs to project types. The three project types, which are intended to be representative of the complete project list, are: 1. Capacity - Projects or portions of projects that are related to increasing liquids and/ or biosolids conveyance, treatment, and disposition capacity beyond existing design standards (i.e., projects that provide the next capacity increment within the planniIi.g period).
