wastewater system that support the housing needs of the Eugene-Springfield · metropolitan area. Goal 11 -Public Facilities and Services- To plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve aS a framework for urban and rural development. OAR Chapter 660, Division 011, implements goal 11. OAR 660-011-0030(1) requires that the public facility plan identify the general loCation of public facilities projects. In regard to the Metro Plan, the reference to'Public Facilities and Services Plan Map 2a in Finding 6 and Policy G.3 in the Proposed amendments addresses this requirement. In regard to the PFSP, the modification of the introductory narrative under "Planned Wastewater System Improvements (Page 28)," the insertion of new Tables 4a and 4b (Page 28), and the modification of Map 2 and the insertion of new Map 2a, also address this requirement. OAR 660-011-0035(1) requires that the public facility plan include a rough cost estimate for seWer public facility projects identified in the facility plan. In conformity with this requirement, it is proposed that the PFSP be amended by the insertion of Table 16a (Inserted following Page 101), which addresses rough cost ' estimates and a timing estimate for MWMC Wastewater Treatment and Collection System Improvements. The rough cost estimates in Table 16a are based on costs set forth in the MWMC 2004 Facilities Plan and Project list. This v 2004 Plan was the result of an exhaustive study that examined alternatives ranging from $144M to $233M (See Attachment 3). The preferred alternative, found in Table 16a, was selected because, among other reasons, it provides the least expensive means to c°mply with federal requirements and maximizes MWMC's existing investments. OAR 660-011-0045(3) provides that modifications to projects listed within a public facility plan may be made without amendment to the public facility plan. This application proposes to add a new chapter to the PFSP regarding amendments to that plan.-Proposed Chapter VI incorporates the standards for amending a public facility plan allowed by OAR 660-011-0045(3) and adopts an amendment process. Goal 12 - Transportation This goal is not applicable to the proposed amendments. Goal 13 - Energy Conservation This goal is not applicable to the proposed amendments. Goal 14 - Urbanization - To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use. Staff Report and Findings Page 7 7-7
