Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Capital Improvement Program POPLAR HARVEST MANAGEMENT SERVICES Description: The Biocycle Farm comprises nearly 400 acres of hybrid poplar trees, which were planted as three management units (MUs). The MUs were initially planted in 2004 to 2009 and are managed on regulated 12-year rotations. This project develops a long-term poplar management strategy for the Biocycle Farm through refinement of poplar harvest and planting practices and identification of wood products markets best aligned with the highest and best use of Biocycle Farm poplar. The project ensures the timely harvest of the initial plantings in each MU within the regulatory 12-year rotation limit and subsequent replanting. Status: 50% complete. MU-1 was replanted in 2016. MU-2 was harvested in 2017 and is undergoing replanting in 2018. MU-3 is scheduled for harvest in 2020. Justification: Regulatory land use requirements for operation of the Biocycle Farm, and optimization of farm effectiveness and efficiency. Project Driver: Land Use Compatibility Statement (LUCS) issued by Lane County; Biosolids Management Plan and Recycled Water Use Plan under the MWMC’s NPDES permit. Project Trigger: Maturity of each 12-year rotation age cycle. Project Type: 100% Performance Improvement SDC Eligibility: 22.2% Estimated Project Cost: $1,811,145 for harvest and administration of the initial plantings across all three MUs. Estimated Cash Flow: FY 13-14 = $116,009; FY 14-15 = $114,465; FY 15-16 = $136,814; FY 16-17 = $105,653; FY 17-18 = $370,204; FY 18-19 = $160,000; FY 19-20 = $188,000; FY 20-21 = $620,000 Prior2017-18 Expenditure/Category:YearsEst.
