The 2004 MWMC Facilities Plan and 20-Year Project List, adopted by MWMC on May 6, 2004, is intended to address improvements of the regional wastewater facilities needed to meet community growth through 2025, state and federal requirements, and community expectations for protection of the public's health, safety, and the environment. It is forwarded by the MWMC to the City of Eugene for adoption by resolution. BACKGROUND Council Action History · On February 9, 1977, the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) was established by an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) signed by the governing bodies of Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County. · In 1977, the "208 Plan" was approved for the construction of the Eugene-Springfield regional wastewater facilities which set out the original projections, requirements, and projects to serve the wastewater treatment needs of the Eugene-Springfield community for a twenty-year period. · In 2001, the commission, the City of Eugene, and the City of Springfield adopted the Wet Weather Flow Management Plan (WWFMP) to address the peak flow capacity issues. This plan remains the guiding policy document in setting the cities' annual Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for sanitary sewer rehabilitation and replacement, as well as the commission's capital improvements and operations for addressing peak flows to the regional wastewater facilities. · On May 19, 2004, the Eugene City Council had a work session on the 2004 MWMC Facilities Plan. · On June 14, 2004, the Eugene City Council received information on efforts toward public outreach and involvement activities in attachments to an Agenda Item Summary (ALS) for that meeting, including: 1) an historical chart of the foundational plans with corresponding public outreach and involvement; 2) a summary table of the regional wastewater program's public awareness, education, and involvement efforts; and 3) a comprehensive memorandum with detailed explanations of the history and appropriate, representative samples of legal notices, press releases, media announcements, public meetings, public hearings, mass mailings, workshops, and open houses.
