Exhibit "I" SDC INFOR~IA TION FOR ESTIJ\;IA TING 1\'I\V1\'IC \V ASTE\V A TER SDC FEES USINGivlWivlC PROPOSED CHANGES (July 7, 1997) WASTEWATER SDC - METROPOLITAN WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT COMMISSION (REGIONAL) The Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) was established in 1977 when Lane County, Springfield, and Eugene developed an intergovernmental agreement forming a regional wastewater system. This agreement provides that MWMC establish a charge to recover or "equalize" the local investment in the region's wastewater treatment capacity. In 199P, a facility equalization charge was adopted by the City of Eugene that was based on equivalent dwelling units. Based on a recent review of the MWMC Methodology by a Citizens Advisory Committee, a more equitable calculation method and methodology was proposed which is currently under review in a public comment period, slated to close June 28th. This method measures the wastewater treatment capacity based on four components: average flow, peak flow, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)and suspended solids (55). If adopted, the MWMC proposed methodology will be effective July 7, 1997. This charge is paid by property owners and developers for new first time connections, or for expansion of existing commercial and industrial development that increased demand on the wastewater system. The rate is based on combined costs for recovery of past local investment in the region's wastewater treatment capacity and for future. capacity improvements. To determine the MWMC Wastewater SDC, reference the "Transportation Trip Generation / MWMC Wastewater FEU Table" located on the reverse side of the sample SDC worksheet. For Wastewater, this table represents the industry standard based on the amount and strength of discharge for a typical development in a specific land use category. If a proposed development type is not represented in the table, the City will determine the rate. STEPS TO CALCULATE MWMC sac UNDER PROPOSED JULY 7, 1997 METHODOLOGY 1 Select a "description" for the proposed development. 2 Determine the "Flow Estimation Units (FEU) for the proposed development. 3 Determine the FEU Cost for the proposed development. 4 Multiply the corresponding FEU Cost for the proposed development by the. number of FE Us to determine the MWMC SOC.

The MWMC administrative fee is $10.00 'regardless of the subtotal. ~ NOTE: SDC fees are rounded to the nearest dollar for each section total.
