Executive Summary This Facilities Plan, prepared for the Metropolitan Wastewater Management CommJssion (MWMC), is the result of a comprehensive evaluation of the regional wastewater treatment facilities serving the Eugene-Spr/ngfield metropol/tan area [Eugene-Springfield Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF), major pump s~tions and interceptors, the Biosolids Management Facility (BMF), the Biocycle Farm, and the Seasonal Industrial Waste Facility (S1WF)]. This Facilities Plan is a comprehensive update to ~he crr~ginal "208 Plan," which was completed in 1977. The 208 Plan established the original pre~ect/ons, requirements, and projects needed to serve the Eugene-Springfield community through 2005. This Facilities Plan also builds on previous, targeted studies, including the 1997 Master Plan, 1997 Biosolids Management Plan, 2001 Wet Weather Flow Management Plan (WWFMP), and the 2003 Management Plan for a Dedicated Biosolids Land Application Site. Both Eugene and Springfield have separate sewer systems that come together into a regional system of pipes. Over 800 m/les of sewer pipes and 47 pump stations transport wastewater to the WPCF. Most of the conveyance pipelines of 24 baches in cl/ameter or greater and associated pumping facilities necessary to convey the region's wastewater to the regional facility were included in the facilities' original construction by regional and loca2 resources. This newly developed MWMC Facilities Plan is intended to identSf-y facility enhancements and expansions that are needed to serve the community's wastewater needs through 2025. Planning Criteria Regulatory requirements, existing MWMC polic/es, adopted citizen adv~sc~y, commi~e (CAC) recommendations, and direct Commission guidance provided the framework of objectives and planning criter/a for development of the Facilities Plan. In order for the Yacilit{es Plan to serve its intended purpose, implementation of the facilities improvements iden~/fied in the plan should enable MWMC and the partner agencies to have reasonable assurance that the following ol~ectives will be met: Compl/ance w/th appl/cable local, state, and federal laws and regulations Protection of the heo_Ith and safety of people and property from exposure to hazardous condit/ons such as exposure to untreated or inadequately t~eated wastewater Provision of adequate capacity to facffitate community growth/n the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area consistent with adopted land use plans · Construction, operat/on, and rruanagement of MWMC facilit/es in a manner that is as cost-effective, efficient, and affordable to the community as possible in the short and long term · Implementation of Citizen Advisory Committee recommendations, which represent diverse community interest~s, values and involvement, and have been adopted by the Commission as MWMC plans and pohcies MWMC_EXE CSU M_RE-V4_2_ DOC ES~
