meet all of the discharge standards imposed by state and federal law. Neither the Metro Plan nor <br />the PFSP currently reflect this situation. Statewide Planning Goal 2 requires that the city, county <br />and special district plans be consistent. In large part, the amendments proposed by this <br />application address the issue of consistency between the Metro Plan and the PFSP and <br />consistency of the 2004 Wastewater Facilities Plan with the former documents. The proposed <br />amendments provide information that should have been included in the PFSP when it was <br />adopted and present a more accurate description of wastewater services that will be available <br />after certain capital improvement projects are completed. <br /> <br />Phasing objectives of the 2004 wastewater Facilities Plan necessitate that construction of several <br />key facility components begin by June of 2005 in order to meet federal standards that require that <br />peak wet weather events be managed by 2010. In order to meet this rigorous construction <br />schedule, MWMC must have released Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for engineering design by <br />October of 2004. Prior to this date, the 2004 Wastewater Facilities Plan must be adopted by the <br />three metropolitan jurisdictions and the Metro Plan and the PFSP should be updated to reflect <br />current information. <br /> <br />In summary, the application proposes the following changes: <br /> <br />Metro Plan <br /> <br />1. Specifically recognizes "wastewater" as a subcategory of service within the Urban <br /> Growth Boundary. [Chapter III-G] <br /> <br />2. Amends Finding #6 and Policy #3 to recognize the addition of Map 2a "Existing <br /> Wastewater Collection and Treatment Systems" to the PFSP. [Chapter III-G] <br /> <br />3. Amends Policy #2 to include local capital improvement plans as a means to implement <br /> policy in the PFSP. [Chapter III-G]. <br /> <br />4. Inserts two findings regarding local and regional wastewater services to development <br /> within the urban growth boundary. [Chapter III-G] <br /> <br />5. Adds a new policy G.9 that makes a commitment to providing the conveyance and <br /> treatment of wastewater to meet the needs of projected growth within the urban growth <br /> boundary and that meets regulatory requirements. [Chapter III-G] <br /> <br />6. Modifies definition 37. Wastewater: Public Facilities Projects. [Chapter V Glossary]. <br /> <br />PFSP <br /> <br />1. Modifies the text on page 28, preceding Table 3, and adds Tables 4a and 4b that identify <br /> MWMC Wastewater Treatment and Primary Collection System improvements, <br /> respectively. <br /> <br />Exhibit 1 - 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
