Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Capital Improvement Program <br />POPLAR HARVEST MANAGEMENT SERVICES <br />(P80083) <br />Description: <br /> The Biocycle Farm comprises nearly 400 acres of hybrid poplar trees, which were <br />planted as three management units (MUs). The MUs were initially planted in 2004 to <br />2009 and are managed on regulated 12-year rotations. This project develops a long-term <br />poplar management strategy for the Biocycle Farm through refinement of poplar harvest <br />and planting practices and identification of wood products markets best aligned with the <br />highest and best use of Biocycle Farm poplar. The project ensures the timely harvest of <br />the initial plantings in each MU within the regulatory 12-year rotation limit and <br />subsequent replanting. Management of poplars is anticipated to become a Eugene <br />Operations duty in FY 22/23. <br />Status: <br />65% complete. MU-1 was replanted in 2016. MU-2 was replanted in 2018-19. MU-3 is <br />scheduled for harvest in 2020. <br />Justification: <br /> Regulatory land use requirements for operation of the Biocycle Farm and optimization of <br />farm effectiveness and efficiency, including biosolids and recycled water management <br />strategies. <br />Project Driver: <br />Land Use Compatibility Statement (LUCS) issued by Lane County; Biosolids <br />Management Plan and Recycled Water Use Plan under the MWMC’s NPDES permit. <br />Project Trigger: <br />Maturity of each 12-year rotation age cycle. <br /> <br />Improvement <br />SDC Eligibility: <br /> 22.2% <br />Estimated Project Cost: <br />$1,857,000 <br />Estimated Cash Flow: <br />FY 13-14 = $116,009; FY 14-15 = $114,465; FY 15-16 = $136,814; <br />FY 16-17 = $105,653; FY 17-18 = $435,573; FY 18-19 = $118,486; <br />FY 19-20 = $425,000; FY 20-21 = $230,000; FY 21-22 = $175,000; <br />Prior2018-19 <br /> Expenditure/Category:YearsEst.
