AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
This is a work session item to review with City Council proposed adoption by resolutions of the
Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission's (MWMC) requested modifications to the regional
wastewater system development charge (SDC) methodology and rates. The proposed resolutions
implements modifications to the regional wastewater SDC methodology and rates by incorporating
changes in Eugene's SDC Methodologies document. The council is asked to provide direction on the
proposed SDC methodology and rate modifications.
BACKGROUND
Council Action History
On April 8, 2002, the council adopted Ordinance 20248 which, consistent with current requirements of
state statutes, requires that modifications of Eugene's SDC methodologies be adopted by council
resolution or ordinance. Prior to this, revisions to regional wastewater SDCs were adopted by
administrative order of the City Manager, with the council notified of and provided opportunity to review
proposed administrative orders. In September 2002, the MWMC requested that the cities of Eugene and
Springfield adopt a modified regional wastewater SDC methodology and rate. On January 27, 2003, the
council adopted the requested regional wastewater methodology by Resolution No. 4748. Prior to
Resolution No. 4748, the last adjustment of the regional wastewater SDC was an update to a credit table
which was adopted by Administrative Order 58-02-18- F, effective July 1, 2002.
The council was notified by memorandum (February 2003) that implementation of the SDC rates
resulting from Resolution No. 4748 had been delayed pending the City of Springfield's adoption of the
modified regional wastewater methodology and rates as requested by the MWMC. On July 14, 2003,
staff presented the council with a proposed resolution formally extending the effective date of Resolution
4748 until the City of Springfield adopted the same methodology and rate. The council declined to
approve the resolution extending the effective date, but acknowledged that in recognition
of provisions of the MWMC intergovernmental agreement (IGA) requiring the uniform implementation of
regional wastewater connection charges (SDCs), the implementation of a new rate would not be effective
until both cities approved such charges. In a City Council work session on September 22, 2003,
L:\CMO\2004 Council Agendas\M040519\S040519B.wpd
staff presented a proposed Resolution 4776 adopting adjusted regional wastewater SDC rates based on a
settlement agreement between Home Builders Association of Lane County (HBA) and MWMC; the
council adopted Resolution 4776 on September 24, 2003.
Policy Issues
The policy issue before the council is whether to adopt by resolution a modified regional wastewater SDC
which updates the regional wastewater SDC methodology and rates as requested by the MWMC.
Attachment A is a proposed resolution that adopts revisions to the City's SDC Methodologies document
to reflect adjustments to the regional wastewater SDC methodology as revised and recommended by the
MWMC. Attachment B is a proposed resolution that adopts a revised schedule of regional wastewater
SDC rates as calculated based on application of the proposed methodology to the 20-year project list
proposed for adoption in conjunction with the MWMC Facilities Plan.
The currently proposed changes to the regional wastewater SDC as requested by the MWMC are a result
of a comprehensive review of the methodology which involved a Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC).
The proposed SDC rates are reflective of the proposed MWMC Facilities Plan which is the subject of the
council work session immediately preceding this item. The proposed SDC methodology modifications
are intended to ensure the equitable recovery of costs of system capacity related to the demands of
growth, while ensuring consistency with statutory requirements related to SDCs. The proposed
methodology change in-and-of itself does not cause a significant increase in SDC rates. However, the
costs and timing of capacity-related projects in the proposed MWMC Facilities Plan, upon which the
improvement fee portion of the SDC is based, result in an approximate 79 percent increase in the regional
wastewater SDC rates.
The essential issue before the council is whether it concurs with the MWMC that the proposed
methodology and rates appropriately recover infrastructure costs related to new development in a fair and
equitable manner.
Council Goals
This agenda item relates to a Council Goal from the 2003-2004 Vision and Goals Statements.
Goal: FAIR, STABLE AND ADEQUATE FINANCIAL RESOURCES - A local government whose
ongoing financial resources are based on a fair and equitable system of taxation and other revenue sources
and are adequate to maintain and deliver municipal services. The proposed SDC rate adjustment provides
needed additional financial resources for improvements to the regional wastewater system while
incorporating adjustments to provide fairness and equity in the rate.
Financial and/or Resource Considerations
The proposed regional SDC rates reflect future capacity-related capital improvement needs of the regional
wastewater treatment system. The proposed resolution adopts a modified regional wastewater SDC rate
which increases from a current rate of $528.86 per typical single family dwelling unit (SFD) to $947.34
per SFD, or an approximate 79% increase. The adjustment would bring Eugene's total wastewater SDC
(local and regional combined) to $1,389.66 per typical SFD from the current combined wastewater SDC
of $971.18.
This adjustment would not substantially change Eugene's ranking of total SDC charges in relation to other
L:\CMO\2004 Council Agendas\M040519\S040519B.wpd
Oregon communities for comparable development types. A comparison of Eugene's SDC rates to those
of other Oregon communities, completed in November, 2002, is available on the web at
www. ci.eugene.or.us/PW/SDC/whatsnew. The survey indicates that the proposed combined wastewater
SDC rate for residential development would be among the lowest in the state for comparable communities.
Other Background Information
The City of Eugene entered into an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the City of Springfield and
Lane County in 1978 which established the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission. The
commission subsequently adopted the MWMC wastewater SDC methodology and rates. In the IGA, the
cities of Eugene and Springfield agreed to charge SDCs uniformly throughout the regional wastewater
service area. By agreement, City of Springfield staff provide administrative, financial and rate setting
support to the MWMC. Attachment C includes two resolutions of the MWMC recommending adoption
of the proposed SDC methodology and SDC rates. In order for these adjustments to be effective within
the cities of Eugene and Springfield, both cities must incorporate the modifications into locally adopted
SDC methodologies and rates.
A comprehensive review of the regional wastewater methodology and rates was completed in part in
response to concerns expressed by the Home Builders Association of Lane County (HBA) and its legal
representative. As reflected in the MWMC Resolution and Settlement Agreement included as Attachment
D, the HBA agreed to withdraw and withhold legal action to allow the regional wastewater SDC
methodology review process to attempt to address issues and concerns. Despite this comprehensive
review effort, involving diverse representation on the MWMC SDC Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC)
from interested groups across the regional wastewater service area, including the HBA, the HBA and
others have expressed additional concerns with the SDC methodology and its relationship to the proposed
MWMC Facility Plan. Responses to various questions and concerns related to the MWMC Facility Plan
and SDC are included as attachments to the AIS for the MWMC Facilities Plan and 20-Year Project List
work session immediately preceding this agenda item. A list ofMWMC SDC CAC members is included
as Attachment E to this Agenda Item Summary.
If the council chooses not to adopt the proposed revisions to the regional wastewater SDC rates, the
MWMC intergovernmental agreement specifies that the City request in writing that the commission
reconsider the proposed revisions. The commission would then put action for reconsideration on its
agenda within 45 days of receipt of request. If the council objects to the commission's action after
reconsideration, it may refer the issue to the Metropolitan Policy Committee (MPC) for mediation. The
MPC would then provide an advisory and non-binding written recommendation for resolution of the
matter within 45 days of referral. The MWMC's ultimate action shall only take effect after the governing
bodies are in agreement.
Timing
Staff provided notification of intent to modify the SDC methodology by resolution on March 15, 2004,
and made proposed changes available for public review on April 15, 2004, to enable sufficient time to
conduct a public hearing as early as June 14, 2004, with action to adopt tentatively scheduled for June 28,
2004. Any revisions to the proposed regional wastewater SDC rates or the methodology will require
review by the MWMC and may require re-notification of interested persons, extending the period of public
review by a minimum of 60 days from the time of notice. If the council proceeds with the scheduled
public hearing and adopts the resolution as proposed, the modified SDC rates will be effective as early as
July 1, 2004. Should the council decline to adopt the proposed revisions to the proposed regional
L:\CMO\2004 Council Agendas\M040519\S040519B.wpd
wastewater SDC rates, reconsideration by the MWMC and potential review by MPC could extend timing
of rate revisions significantly, or indefinitely. Delays in modifying the SDC may result in delay of needed
improvements to the regional wastewater facilities.
OPTIONS
The options available to the council include the following:
1. Affirm the proposed resolutions and direct the City Manager to proceed with the scheduled public
hearing; or,
2. Direct the City Manager to prepare a written request to the MWMC for reconsideration and return to
Council at a future date.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Option #1: Affirm the proposed resolutions and direct the City Manager to proceed
with the scheduled public hearing.

METHODOLOGY
City of Eugene Systems Development Charges
1.0 Introduction
The City's authority to establish and adopt system development charges (SDCs) is granted by
the Eugene Charter of 1976 and by ORS 223.297 - 223.314. By virtue of that authority the City
adopted Eugene Code, 1971 sections 7.700 - 7.740 and related provisions.
For the purpose of interpreting Eugene Code, 1971 sections 7.700 through 7.740 and this
document, the public record before the Council shall constitute the legislative history.
In addition to the methodologies for each system contained herein, the following appendices are
adopted and made a part hereof:
A: Definitions of General Terms and Use Codes
B: Transportation System Charge Detail
C!l: Wastewater System Charge ~etail
D: Stormwater System Charge Detail
E: Parks System Charge Detail
F: SDC Fee Schedule and Formulas
1.1 Basis for Charge
Systems Development Charges (SDCs) have been collected and used by the City of
Eugene since 1978. They are presently collected on all new development in the City
and are used to fund that portion of the construction of infrastructure (i.e., transportation,
wastewater, stormwater and parks system components) required to support new
development. These SDCs help the City provide for increased capacity needs, and
recoup a portion of the community's investment in specific infrastructure reserve capacity
that is already in place.
Sound planning requires future demands on each system be anticipated, and that
reserve capacity needed to serve future users be built in. By preparing for this growth,
standards for community infrastructure are maintained and the community can prosper
with new development.
The Metropolitan Area General Plan and amendments provide a basis for planning of
growth and development and includes the following goals and policies related to the
financing of new development:
· Generally reduce public subsidy for utilities and facilities in new development
(#5, p. III-G-5).
· In general, the amount of public subsidy for public utilities, services and facilities,
including schools in new development, shall be reduced (#1, p. III-G-5).
City of Eugene SDC Methodologies _
In addition, City Council adopted Growth Management Study (GMS) policies to provide
direction for provision of infrastructure services related to new development:
GMS Policy #14: Development shall be required to pay the full cost of extending
infrastructure and services, except that the City will examine ways to subsidize the costs
of providing infrastructure or offer other incentives that support higher-density, in-fill,
mixed-use, and redevelopment.
1.2 SDC Charges
The SDCs and the associated administrative charges and credits imposed by Eugene
Code, 1971 sections 7.700 through 7.740 shall be determined as set forth in these
methodologies. The current rates of charge for each system are listed in the adopted
SDC fee schedule in Appendix F. The methods of calculating administrative charges are
noted within section 2.3.1 Administrative Costs and the methods of calculating credits
are noted within section 7.2 Credits.
2.0 Exemptions and General Approach
This section outlines the general approach taken in calculating the City's development charges
and in determining and specifying appropriate expenditures of SDC revenue. For the purposes
of this document, the definitions in the Eugene Code, 1971 shall apply unless expressly
provided to the contrary. Appendix A contains definitions of words and phrases, which are used
throughout these methodologies.
2.1 Assignment of Use Classifications
Developments will be assigned use classifications that best reflect the developments'
use per system (transportation, wastewater, stormwater, parks) as set forth in these
methodologies. In the case of multiple uses that are proposed and/or exist within one
development, as determined by Staff, more than one use classification may be assigned
by which the SDC fees and credits will be calculated.
2.2 Exemptions
To simplify the administration of the SDC, no development involving then-existing
improvements on a site will be deemed to increase usage of or create the need for
additional capital improvements until one of the following occurs:
· For property improved with a residential use (e.g. single family dwelling, duplex
or other multiple-family use), when:
>- an additional dwelling unit is created,
>- there is an increase in square footage of living area, or
all or part of any structure on the site is changed to a use not permitted
outright in an any residential zoning district as noted in Eugene Code,
1971 section 9.2740.
City of Eugene SDC Methodologies
· For all property improved with a nonresidential use (e.g. recreation center,
convenience market) when:
an additional dwelling unit is created,
there is an increase in square footage of gross floor space or living area,
there is an increase in the number of nonresidential plumbing fixture units
on the site,
60 square feet of impervious surface is added to the site (for the purpose
of calculating the stormwater SDC), or
either 3,000 or more square feet of floor space in a building changes use
or 50% or more of the gross floor space of the building changes use
· An additional connection to, or an increase in the size of, an existing connection
to the public wastewater or stormwater system is to be made.
· A property previously granted an exemption for housing for Iow-income persons
is subsequently used for other than housing for Iow income persons, subject to
the limitations and/or conditions imposed in Eugene Code, 1971 section 7.725(c).
2.3 General Method for City of Eugene SDC Rates
Table 1 provides an overview of the basis of the rate setting methodology; outlining the
basic rates, cost basis, service standards and means of implementation for each system
charge.
The intent of the methodology is that new development should not be charged for a
higher level of service than that currently provided to the community or to which the
community has committed future resources. Therefore, additional capacity needs are
determined using the City's existing level of service or the City's funded level of service.
In a similar manner, new development should be credited for past and future
pa merits on 'nfrastructure re ated exist n debt ~'~;~]~j~ ~,~ ':, :~ ~
(Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission [MWMC]) and past trunk sewer
levies.
The general approach used to calculate the development charge for various systems is
based on requirements set forth in ORS 223.304:
· Reimbursement fees shall be established or modified considering "the cost of the
existing facility or facilities, prior contributions by existing uses, gift or grants from
federal or state government or private persons, the value of unused capacity
available to future system users, rate-making principles employed to finance
publicly owned capital improvements and other relevant factors identified by the
local government imposing the fee."
City of Eugene SDC Methodologies
· Improvement fees shall be established considering "the cost of projected capital
improvements needed to increase the capacity of the systems to which the fee is
related."
· Credits are required for "qualified public improvements."
This general approach is illustrated in Figure I and can be outlined in the following
steps:
· Determine System Service Characteristics.
System consists of several components (e.g., lines, pump stations, force
mains, manholes are components of the wastewater system).
Establish impact measure - that feature of development that best reflects
use of system capacity (e.g., trips for the transportation system,
impervious surface for the stormwater system, etc.).
· Determine System Value, including associated costs such as design,
construction, right-of-way acquisition and project administration.
Use replacement cost (current construction costs).
Determine capacity-oriented cost of system, net of assessments and
grants.
Determine ratio of Improvement and Reimbursement portions of charge, if
any.
· Allocate the system value to the unit of impact (e.g., cost per unit of impervious
area for stormwater system).
· Determine the service impact of specific development types (e.g., single-family
dwelling, motel, convenience market).
2.3.1 Administrative Costs
Administrative costs are estimated annually and include the periodic and on-going
direct and indirect costs associated with complying with the requirements of state
law and the cost of administering the SDCs. An administrative charge shall be
incurred when one of the following occurs:
When a redevelopment occurs that changes the use of a building in its
entirety and it is determined that usage of any capital improvement is
increased or there is need of additional capital improvements.
The administrative fee will be calculated either as a percentage rate of the
net charge after credits are applied or at a flat rate, whichever is higher, as
listed in the SDC fee schedule in Appendix F.

City of Eugene SDC Methodologies
~,- When a redevelopment permit application (other than for redevelopment that
changes the use of a building in its entirety) requires a detailed review to
determine that there will be no increased usage of any capital improvement
and no additional capital improvements will be needed.
The administrative fee will be applied at a flat rate as listed in the SDC fee
schedule in Appendix F.
When an SDC is imposed for all other development:
The administrative fee will be calculated as a percentage rate of the net
charge after credits for previous use and impact reduction are applied or at a
flat rate, whichever is higher, as listed in the SDC fee schedule in
Appendix F.
In no case will administrative fees be refunded, unless necessary as a result of City
error.
2.3.2 Maximum Administrative Charge
An administrative charge calculated shall not exceed a maximum amount of
$30,000.00 for a single permit issued. If multiple permits are issued for different
phases of the same development, the maximum administrative charge shall be
applied to each permit independently.
2.4 Adjustment to the SDC Methodology and Fees
Modifications to the methodologies for the systems development charge shall be established
by resolution of the council. A change in the amount of a reimbursement fee or an
improvement fee is not a modification of the SDC if the change in amount is based on the
periodic application of an adopted specific cost index or on a modification to any of the
factors related to rate that are incorporated in these adopted methodologies. The city
manager may adopt fee changes, based on such a cost index or rate factors by
administrative order pursuant to section 2.020 of the Eugene Code, 1971, so long as the
fees are not revised administratively in an amount greater than five (5) percent within any
12-month period. Revisions to fees by more than five percent shall be established by
resolution of the council.
2.4.1 Adopted Cost Index
SDC fees and credits may be periodically adjusted to account for changes in
construction costs and system valuation. The 20-city national average
construction cost index, as published by Engineering News-Record (ENR)
shall be used when preparing periodic cost index adjustments.
2.4.2 Rate Factors Subject to Administrative Revision
SDC fees and credits may be periodically adjusted to account for changes in
rate factors incorporated in the established SDC methodologies. Changes in
rate factors may occur to account for changes in the systems' characteristics
City of Eugene SDC Methodologies
and related factors as noted in the methodologies document specific to the
systems' fees and credit rates as reflected in supporting analyses and
formulas.
2.5 Expending City of Eugene SDCs
The City of Eugene's SDC revenue, except for administrative fees, is comprised of two
components: an improvement fee and a reimbursement fee as defined in Eugene Code,
1971 section 7.010. Improvement fee revenue may be spent only on capacity increasing
capital improvements or debt related to such improvements. Reimbursement fee revenue
may be spent only on capital improvements associated with the systems for which the fees
are assessed and debt related to such improvements. Revenue from both types of fees
may be expended on direct costs of complying with related state statutes.
Major capacity-increasing capital improvements to be constructed using SDC revenue
appear in the City's long range plans. The City's long-range plans reflect the anticipated
facility needs required to support new development. The needs identified in the long-range
plans are generally included in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The CIP also contains
repair, replacement, and rehabilitation projects which may be funded in part with SDCs.
Given the limits on certain funding sources and the need to address existing as well as
future needs, the CIP does not necessarily reflect all the facility needs of new development
occurring within the six-year period covered by the CIP. Therefore, the planned
expenditures of SDC revenue include both the expenditures detailed in the CIP and the
needs identified in the long-range plans.
3.0 Transportation System
The Transportation Systems Development Charge (SDC) is made up of several components. The
costs of these components include the total cost of design, construction, right-of-way acquisition,
purchasing, testing, and project administration. The components included in this analysis are:
· Collector and arterial streets
Non-assessable linear section construction costs
Intersection construction costs
Traffic signal costs
Street light costs
Bridge and other structure construction costs
· Off-street bicycle paths
Bicycle path construction costs
Bicycle path light costs
City of Eugene SDC Methodologies
The cost impacts of new development on these components are allocated on the basis of p.m.
peak hour traffic on adjacent streets using either the trips specified in the Standard Calculation or
based upon an Alternate Calculation as set forth in Appendix B.
The detailed Cost of Service formula as well as the cost per trip for each component of the
transportation system is set forth in Appendix B. The cost per trip is the sum of all transportation
system components identified in Appendix B.
The transportation SDC for a proposed development is determined by multiplying the units which
describe the impact by the trip rate (to determine the number of trips assigned to the proposed
development) using the Transportation Trip Rates table in Appendix B and the cost per trip in the
current adopted SDC fee schedule in Appendix F.
4.0 Local (City) and Regional Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission
(MWMC) Regional Wastewater Systems
Collection of the wastewater SDC includes both a local (City) and regional (MWMC) system
charge.
4.1 Local Wastewater System
The local wastewater SDC is based upon estimated wastewater flow discharge (impact on
and/or use of system capacity) from various development types. A unit cost of capacity in
terms of cost per gallon per day is established and used to determine SDC rates. For
residential development the rate is based on number of dwelling units and area of living
space. For nonresidential development the rate is based on number of PFUs and the
proposed development type. The detailed analysis, methods for calculating, and the Cost
of Service formula for the local wastewater system can be found in Appendix C. The local
wastewater SDC rates can be found in the current adopted fee schedule in Appendix F.
The local wastewater SDC for a proposed development is determined by:
· Number of Residential Dwelling Units (RDU) and area of living space for single-
family, duplex, multiple-family, and other residential development
· Plumbing Fixture Units (PFU) and proposed development type for other than
Residential Dwelling Units (e.g'., recreation center, convenience market).
4.2 Regional Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC)
Wastewater System
The City of Eugene entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the City of
Springfield and Lane County in 1978, which established the Metropolitan Wastewater
Management Commission. On May 15, 1997, the Commission adopted the MWMC
wastewater Systems Development Charge which includes a regional administrative

..... or
5.0 Stormwater System
The stormwater SDC is based upon imperious sudace area (e.g., rooftops, driveways, sidewalks,
parking lots, patios, and other non-porous sudaces). The detailed formulas for calculating the
stormwater SDC unit cost (rate) per square foot of imperious sudace area is set fo~h in
Appendix D. The stormwater SDC is determined by multiplying the applicable rate by the unit of
measure for the proposed development type. The costs per unit of measure and resulting rates
can be found in Table ~ ~ and the fee schedule in Appendix F.
Where the stormwater SDC is a fixed amount per dwelling unit or space, it shall be determined by
multiplying the appli~ble rate per dwelling unit or space times the number of units or spaces plus,
for manufactured home park development, the SDC is based upon the imperious sudace area of
all additional common areas times the stormwater unit cost per square foot of impewious sudace
area. Where the stormwater SDC is not a fixed amount per dwelling unit or space, it shall be
determined by multiplying the rate per square foot of impewious sudace area times the total
impewious sudace area of the proposed development. Where a development creates impact not
attributable to impewious sudace area, the stormwater SDC shall be determined by evaluating
equivalent imperious sudace area, multiplied by the rate per square foot of imperious sudace
area.
6.0 Parks System
The parks system components that are identified in the adopted 1989 Parks and Recreation Plan
and the parks system components identified in Table 14 :~.;, which are used to calculate the parks
SDC, are generally described as parks (neighborhood and community) and facilities which are
more padicularly described in Appendix E. The current community standard or level of se~ice, for
parks infrastructure is the determining factor in ~lculating the impact of new development on the
system. New development ~n be charged the costs of providing parks infrastructure for the
development at the same level of se~ice as the existing community as a whole.
City of Eugene SDC Methodologies
The detailed calculation for each component of the parks SDC and the Cost of Service formula are
set forth in Appendix E. The parks SDC rate can be found in the current adopted fee schedule in
Appendix F. The rate per dwelling unit is determined based on equivalent dwelling units (EDU).
The parks SDC for a proposed development is determined by multiplying the rate per dwelling unit
(EDU) by the number of dwelling units in the proposed development. The cost per EDU is the
sum of all parks system components identified in Appendix E. There is currently no parks SDC for
nonresidential development.
7.0 Credits and Impact Reductions
This section provides detail on the City's administration of SDC credits and impact reductions.
Potential sources, criteria for eligibility, and the basis for calculation of credit and impact
reductions are defined, in this Methodology and in Eugene Code, 1971 section 7.730. A list of
examples of facilities and programs which are potentially eligible for credit and impact reduction
appears in Table 2 of this section. (Note: As development standards change some examples
may no longer be considered eligible for reduction but may influence future rates.)
SDCs may be reduced by one or more of the following processes:
· Impact Reduction, based on quantified mitigation of demand generated by the
development for new identifiable capital improvements;
· Credit, based on the specific costs for privately engineered construction of certain
public improvements as part of the development;
· Credit based on previous payment or use.
Adjustment of SDCs due to credits and impact reductions:
· Shall not be given for improvements constructed or programs instituted prior to City
approval.
· Shall be applied up to the maximum SDC fee for each system.
· Shall reduce the SDCs paid on building permits at the time of issuance; credit or
impact reduction amounts applied will not be greater than the SDC fees.
· Shall be applied to a particular system (e.g., Transportation, Stormwater,
Wastewater, Parks); credits or reductions approved for a particular system can not
be transferred or applied to any other system charges.
· Shall be applied to the SDCs for the particular development, may only be further
applied to subsequent phases of the same development for which the improvement
was constructed or program instituted, and can not be transferred or applied to
other properties or developments.
7.1 Impact Reductions or Mitigation
Impact reduction will be based on private physical improvements (as defined in
Appendix A) constructed as part of the development or based on programs instituted in
City of Eugene SDC Methodologies
connection with development, which will reduce the demand from that development for
future construction of identifiable capital improvements. Such programs and physical
improvements must be privately financed and are intended to be permanent. The
anticipated reduction in demand must be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the City
Transportation Engineer (for Transportation system impact reductions) or to the City
Engineer (for all other system impact reductions). Calculation of impact reduction shall be
based on the ratio of the system impact with the program or facility in place, to the system
impact if the program or facility did not exist.
Prior to application of the impact reduction to the SDCs for the development, the City shall
receive assurances that will bind the developer, owner, and the owner's successors as is
necessary to ensure that the program or facility will function as planned for the agreed
upon time period. Such agreements may include, but are not limited to performance
bonds, maintenance programs, annual reports, monitoring and inspections, or other
pertinent items to document proper functioning as determined by the City Engineer.
7.1.1 Transportation System Impact Reduction
For the transportation system, an impact reduction may be granted if the applicant
demonstrates to the satisfaction of the City Transportation Engineer, that the
improvement or program to be instituted in connection with the development will
materially reduce the number of automobile trips the development will generate and
that it will continue for at least twenty years after the development is occupied.
7.1.2 Stormwater System Impact Reduction or Mitigation
For the stormwater system, an impact reduction may be granted based on physical
improvements which are privately constructed as part of the development. The
applicant must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City Engineer that the
improvements will materially reduce the demand the development will place upon
the public stormwater drainage system and the improvements will remain in use
and functional for at least twenty years after the development is occupied. (Note:
Qualification for SDC stormwater reduction does not necessarily qualify customers
for a reduction of the monthly stormwater user service charges which are governed
by the Stormwater Service Charge Methodology.)
7.1.2.1 Stormwater System Impact Reduction Criteria
Criteria for stormwater SDC impact reduction for development can be found
in Appendix D, section 6.0. A development that meets the required criteria
will be eligible to receive a reduction against stormwater SDCs at the time of
permit issuance as follows:
SFD and Duplex Residential development:
100% flat rate stormwater SDC impact reduction for complete
containment of all on-site stormwater, with no direct or indirect
connection to the public system; or
50% flat rate stormwater SDC impact reduction for any amount of
City of Eugene SDC Methodologies
partial containment of runoff on-site.
Multi-family Residential, Commercial, Industrial, other development using a
common or shared facility:
The stormwater SDC will be reduced in the same proportion that the
mitigating facility reduces runoff leaving the fully developed site.
7,2 Credits
City approval of credits shall be given based on one or more of the following:
?.2,1 Qualified Public Improvement Credit
For any qualified public improvement (as defined in Eugene Code) to be
constructed in connection with the development for which an SDC is collected.
?,2,2 Capital Improvement Credit
For any capital improvement (as defined in Eugene Code) to be constructed as part
of a development to the extent:
that it reduces the need for construction of specific, identifiable public
improvements; or
that it would otherwise have to be constructed or acquired at public
expense and is eligible for funding with Systems Development Charge
funds under the current policies of the City Council; or
that the City can recover credits through collection of an equivalent
assessment from benefited properties, or for which the City Council has
formed a Local Improvement District in accordance with provisions in
Eugene Code, 1971 section 6.610 (6) or 7.407 (3).
7.2.3 Previous Payment or Use
SDC fees paid are not refundable and, in the case of an agreement to pay SDCs in
installments, the terms of the agreement may not be modified. A partial refund of
SDC fees will be made or a modification of an installment agreement will be
allowed when an active development permit is canceled or expires without being
used, a change of design of an active development permit is approved that results
in a less intense use of the property, or property previously developed as a
manufactured home park is partitioned and redeveloped. No portion of the
administrative fees will be refunded, and an additional administrative charge may
be imposed to cover the cost of calculating and processing the partial refund.
Credits for other types of previous payment or use may, however, be provided. In
calculating the credits given under this section, the City Engineer shall apply credit
for previous payment or use only to developments (e.g. structure, impervious area)
City of Eugene SDC Methodologies
for which the previous use, including that for which developments have been
demolished, or payment can be verified and for which a credit has not been
previously given. The burden of proof is on the applicant to provide adequate
documentation (e.g. tax records, utility billing / water usage records, building permit
records). Credits for previous payment or use are provided in the following manner
when:
Redevelopment occurs that does not change the use of a building in its
entirety. The credit will be based on the most previous verifiable use; or
Redevelopment occurs that will change the use of a building in its entirety,
the credit for previous use will be based on the previous most intense
verifiable use per system. In this case, the credit calculation will be
performed independently for each system which may result in different
periods of the use of the site being the basis of comparison.
7.2.4 City Cost of Construction Credit
In calculating the credits given under section 7.2.1 and 7.2.2, the City Engineer
shall estimate the cost of the capital improvement based upon what the City would
pay were it to construct such improvements.
7.2.5 Revenue Collection for Equivalent Assessment or Special Benefit
Credit
When an equivalent assessment or a special benefit assessment is collected when
property connects to a public improvement for which the City has granted a credit
under 7.2.2 (3) above, the revenue collected (net of the costs of collection) shall be
deposited in the SDC fund for the system to which connection was made and for
which the credit was given unless the SDC fund has been reimbursed for the credit
from other City funds. If the SDC fund has been reimbursed in advance from other
City funds, the revenue collected will be deposited to the City fund which
reimbursed the SDC fund.
7.3 Revocation of Credit and Impact Reduction
A credit or impact reduction which has been applied to reduce SDC fees may be revoked
and the unpaid portion of the SDC reimposed as a lien against the property, within the time
required by these Methodologies, if:
· The associated capital improvement for which SDC credit has been given is not
constructed or completed as required, or fails to function as designed; or
· The associated reduction program for which an impact reduction has been
approved is not instituted or is modified without the approval of the City Engineer,
or ceases to function as designed.
Such revocation shall not occur until ten days prior written notice has been given to and an
opportunity to be heard afforded the applicant and property owner. If the credit or impact
City of Eugene SDC Methodologies
reduction is revoked, the City Manager may add to the amount due, the cost of the
revocation proceedings.
7.4 Application for Credit and Impact Reduction
An application for a credit or impact reduction, including related documentation and
information, shall be submitted by the applicant in the manner prescribed by the City,
together with any fee set by the City Engineer pursuant to Eugene Code, 1971 section
2.020. The applicant shall have the burden of demonstrating the eligibility for a credit. No
credit or impact reduction shall be granted for an SDC that has already been imposed,
collected or agreed to be paid in installments unless resulting from cancellation of an
active permit, expiration of a permit without being used, or an approved change of design
of an active permit.
7.4.'1 Application for Impact Reduction
Applicants must submit their request for an impact reduction in writing,
accompanied by documentation that supports the basic function and design
criteria for estimated impact reduction such as calculations as outlined in
Appendix F.
For commercial development, impact reduction will be applied uniformly for all
lots or building sites in the development phase approved. Impact reductions
granted under this methodology document may be used in subsequent phases of
a development when the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer that the program or improvements continue to provide the anticipated
reduction in demand, and the City has received assurances or agreements from
the developer, owner, and owners successors, as approved by the City Engineer
as is necessary to ensure that the program or facility will continue to function as
planned for the agreed upon time period. Changes to the mitigated program or
facility attributable to the connection of an additional phase which results in any
deviation from the previously determined impact reduction will be adjusted
proportionately.
7.4.2 Application for Credit Based on Construction of Public
Improvements
For credits derived from the construction of public improvements, the property
owner(s) will be notified in writing about potential credit availability, subsequent to
the approval and bonding of the construction plans. The property owner(s) will
have 60 days from the date of written notification to submit the SDC Credit
Application and complete the approval process. Applications that include
disbursement instructions for ineligible lots or which contain requests in conflict
with City code, state law, or current City policies/practices will be considered
incomplete applications.
7.4.3 Credit Distribution in the Absence of Directions from an Approved
SDC Credit Application
City of Eugene SDC Methodologies
7.4 Application for Credit and Impact Reduction
An application for a credit or impact reduction, including related documentation and
information, shall be submitted by the applicant in the manner prescribed by the City,
together with any fee set by the City Engineer pursuant to Eugene Code, 1971 section
2.020. The applicant shall have the burden of demonstrating the eligibility for a credit. No
credit or impact reduction shall be granted for an SDC that has already been imposed,
collected or agreed to be paid in installments unless resulting from cancellation of an
active permit, expiration of a permit without being used, or an approved change of design
of an active permit.
7.4.1 Application for Impact Reduction
Applicants must submit their request for an impact reduction in writing,
accompanied by documentation that supports the basic function and design
criteria for estimated impact reduction such as calculations as outlined in
Appendix F.
For commercial development, impact reduction will be applied uniformly for all
lots or building sites in the development phase approved. Impact reductions
granted under this methodology document may be used in subsequent phases of
a development when the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer that the program or improvements continue to provide the anticipated
reduction in demand, and the City has received assurances or agreements from
the developer, owner, and owners successors, as approved by the City Engineer
as is necessary to ensure that the program or facility will continue to function as
planned for the agreed upon time period. Changes to the mitigated program or
facility attributable to the connection of an additional phase which results in any
deviation from the previously determined impact reduction will be adjusted
proportionately.
7.4.2 Application for Credit Based on Construction of Public
Improvements
For credits derived from the construction of public improvements, the property
owner(s) will be notified in writing about potential credit availability, subsequent to
the approval and bonding of the construction plans. The property owner(s) will
have 60 days from the date of written notification to submit the SDC Credit
Application and complete the approval process. Applications that include
disbursement instructions for ineligible lots or which contain requests in conflict
with City code, state law, or current City policies/practices will be considered
incomplete applications.
7.4.3 Credit Distribution in the Absence of Directions from an Approved
SDC Credit Application
With the exception of cases where the recovery of credit through an equivalent
assessment is uncertain, if the owner does not comply with the requirements of
section 7.4.2, the credit will be distributed by the "equal lot" method. All eligible
lots or building sites will be identified, and the credit will be distributed in an equal
amount to each of these eligible lots or building sites. Credit applied under this
City of Eugene SDC Methodologies
policy will not be eligible to be appealed. Development for which a building
permit is issued prior to administration of credit disbursal or approval by City staff
will not be considered eligible for credit distribution.
7.4,4 Changes to an Approved Credit Application
Whether established by the City using the "equal lot" method or by the property
owner(s)/applicant(s), any modifications to the distribution of credits will require a
new completed application, must be approved by the City Engineer, and will be
effective only upon approval by the City Engineer of the revised credit
application. The revised distribution will apply only to the remaining credit
balances and undeveloped lots or building sites to which the credit originally
applied.
7.5 Decision on Application for Credit
The City Engineer shall approve, conditionally approve, or deny an application in writing,
setting forth the reason for the decision. Such a decision shall be mailed or personally
delivered to the applicant.
7.6 Credit and Impact Reduction Duration
Credits granted under this methodology document may be applied to SDC fees for a
development up to a maximum of 10 years from the date of the original written
notification.
Impact reductions granted under this methodology document may be applied to SDC
fees for a development until such time as the program or improvements no longer
continue to provide the anticipated reduction in demand and the City has determined
that assurances or agreements from the developer, owner, or owners successors, are
no longer adequate to ensure that the program or facility will continue to function as
planned for the agreed upon time period.
8.0 Appeals
An appeal by an applicant or a permittee of any decision of the City Manager under these
Methodologies shall be governed by Eugene Code, 1971 section 7.735 and must be filed and
the appeal fee paid within 15 working days of the date of the decision. Such appeals shall be in
writing and filed at the City Manager's office. A separate appeal must be filed for each decision
being appealed. The appeal fee, as established under Eugene Code, 1971 section 2.020, can
be found in the current adopted SDC Fee schedule in Appendix F.
A person objecting to the City's final decision under Eugene Code, 1971 section 7.735
concerning the calculation of a systems development charge may seek judicial review of the
decision pursuant to ORS 34.010 to 34.100.
City of Eugene SDC Methodologies
9.0 Interested Persons Notification
The City shall maintain a list of persons who have made a written request for notification prior to
adoption or modification of a methodology for any SDC. The City shall mail written notification
to persons on the list at least 90 days prior to the first hearing to adopt or modify a system
development charge. The methodology supporting the adoption or modification will be available
60 days prior to the first hearing to adopt or amend a systems development charge. The failure
of a person on the list to receive a notice that was mailed will not invalidate the action of the
City. The City may periodically delete names from the Interested Persons List or require a new
written request for notification be made if the person wishes to remain on the list. At least thirty
(30) days prior to removal of the name from the Interested Persons List, the City will send
notification to the person whose name is to be deleted. It is the responsibility of the person
requesting to maintain a current address with the City for the purposes of being included on the
Interested Persons List.

! Wastewater System Charge Detail
1.0 Local Wastewater System Methodology
1.1 Local Wastewater SDC Formula
The general methodology used to develop SDCs includes the following four steps:
· Determine value of growth-related capacity
· Define system capacity
· Calculate unit cost of growth-related capacity
· Develop SDC rate schedule
EaCh step is discussed below and related information is displayed in Table 6.
1.1.1 Step 1 -- Determine Value of Growth-Related Capacity (In 1998 dollars -- see current values in Table 6)
In Eugene, as in most communities, a portion of the capacity needed to serve
new development will be met through a combination of existing available system
capacity, and additional capacity added by planned system improvements. The
reimbursement fee is intended to recover the costs associated with the growth-
related (or available) capacity in the existing system, and the improvement fee is
based on the costs of capacity-increasing future improvements needed to meet
the demands of growth.
Reimbursement Fee
Calculation of the reimbursement fee begins with a review of utility fixed asset
records to determine the value of the existing local wastewater system. The
system value is based on Replacement Cost New which is a method that
involves assigning asset values on the basis of what it would cost in current
dollars to construct an equivalent set of infrastructure assets subject to current
market conditions, regulatory requirements, and technological advances. The
total value of the existing local wastewater system, including gravity lines (net of
assessments), force mains (or pressure lines), and pump stations was estimated
to be $96.1 million. Approximately $8.9 million of assets were funded from
grants. Like assessments, grant funds are deducted from the system value in
the SDC analysis because general system users did not fund these assets. Net
of grants, the total value of the existing system is approximately $87.2 million.
Because reimbursement fees are intended to recover the value of the system's
unused or available capacity, the total equity in the system is split between
existing customers and new development based on the estimated proportionate
use of capacity. The reimbursement cost basis is equal to the system equity
associated with the capacity available to serve new customers. Approximately
52% of the existing system is available to meet the demands of new customers.
Therefore, the value of available (or growth-related) capacity in the existing
system is $45.3 million (net of grants).
City of Eugene SDC Methodologies Wastewater,
Improvement Fee
Calculation of the improvement fee begins with a review of the utility's
wastewater master plan to determine which, or what portion of, improvements
are needed to provide capacity for new development. System capacity may be
expanded through the upgrade of existing facilities or the construction of new
facilities. The costs of the capacity-increasing improvements are projected
based on standard cost-estimating techniques. The planned capacity-increasing
improvements are projected to total $8.6 million (in 1998 dollars). These
improvement costs are also net of assessments.
Combined, the reimbursement fee cost basis and the improvement fee cost basis
represent the value of growth-related capacity, which is $53.9 million.
1.1.2 Step 2 -- Define System Capacity
As mentioned previously, the total growth-related capacity includes available
capacity in the existing system, and future capacity added by planned system
improvements. Wastewater system capacity is measured in terms of the amount
of flow that can be collected. Flow is measured in millions of gallons per day
(mgd).
The City's Wastewater Master Plan identifies build-out capacity as 48.9 mgd. In
order to reach that capacity, the City must construct an additional $8.6 million of
improvements. Assuming that the unit cost of existing and future capacity is the
same (in terms of replacement value), then the existing capacity of the system
can be estimated as 44.5 mgd (in proportion to the system value that has been
constructed.) The available capacity of 23.1 mgd (52%) is simply the difference
between the estimated existing capacity and existing flows.
The additional capacity added by the improvements is estimated to be 4.4 mgd
(the difference between build-out capacity and existing capacity.) Therefore, the
total growth-related capacity is 27.5 mgd.
1.1.3 Step 3 m Calculate Unit Cost of Growth-Related Capacity (In 1998 dollars -- see current values in Table 6)
The unit cost of growth-related capacity is determined by dividing the growth-
related costs identified in Step 1, by the growth-related capacity defined in Step
2. The unit cost is stated in terms of dollars per mgd. The total growth-related
costs are $53.9 and the growth-related capacity is 27.5 mgd. Therefore, the unit
cost of growth-related capacity is approximately $2 million per mgd.
1.1.4 Step 4 m Develop SDC Rate Schedule
The SDC rate schedule uses scaling measures that are designed with the intent
that customers who are larger, or use infrastructure systems more intensively,
pay the associated costs of capacity required to serve them. Fees for residential
customers are computed by multiplying the unit costs of capacity by the capacity
requirements of a typical user. Residential customers are then charged
differential fees based on the attribute of square feet of living space of the
development. Non-residential customers are assessed based on plumbing
fixture units and land use type.
City of Eugene SDC Methodologies Wastewater,
For more detailed information on the local wastewater rate schedule, see
Table 7. For formula and calculation details, see Appendix F.
1.2 Residential Development Rates
An analysis based upon 1997 Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) residential
account data indicated a correlation between water usage and square feet of living area.
The resultant SDC rate structure, applies a charge for every residential dwelling unit (be
it a single-family home, a single-family accessory unit, each space of a mobile home
park, each unit of a duplex, or each unit of an apartment complex) of a base rate plus
the total living area in square feet multiplied by a rate factor. Additions to residential
units that increase the living area will be charged per square foot of increased living area
by the same rate factor. For current rates, see Appendix F.
1.3 Non-Residential Development Rates
The SDC rate structure for non-residential development applies a land use factor to the
number of Plumbing Fixture Units (PFUs) for a development. This factor is intended to
capture different intensities of use of plumbing fixtures by different types of non-
residential customers. The factors were developed based on an analysis of actual water
usage by land use category, correlated to PFUs. The number of PFUs for a particular
development is determined using the PFU tables and calculation methods contained in
the applicable Plumbing Code at the time of permit application.
The local wastewater rate schedule shown in Table 7 reflects rates per PFU for various
development types indicated by an SDC use code. Developments are assigned an SDC
use code based on the HUD/BPR land use code assigned at the time of permit
application. For development types that are not included in the HUD/BPR land use
codes a default PFU flow assignment, based on the average flow per PFU of ail records
in the data sample used to determine flow per PFU by land use category, will be used to
calculate the SDC charge. When, due to extraordinary wastewater discharge flow, it has
been determined by the City Engineer that PFU flow assignment as reflected in the rate
table is not a reliable measure of the development's claim on system capacity, the SDC
charge will be based on the development's estimated daily wastewater flow when in full
use or production. The City Engineer may require that the owner(s) enter into an
agreement with the City to review water usage or wastewater discharge at such time that
the development is in full use or production.

unit cost of ~pacit~ for the local wastewater system is $2.2572 per gallon per day.
flow per Plumbing Figure Unit (PFU) is stated as gallons per day based on the size of development and type of land use.
use types that do not fit into the above categories will receive a default flow assignment based on the sample average.
default flow is 47.93 gal/day x $2.2572 = a cost per PFU of $108.19.
per PFU may be assigned by the Ci~ Engineer should a proposed use not be represented by one of the puSlished SDC use
and for which a default flow assignment is not representative of the proposed flow. In the case of those proposed
developments that are determined to have a potential for exceptional water usage, the City Engineer may require that the Owner(s)
into an agreement with the Ci~ to review water usage or wastewater discharge at such time the development is in full use or
production as the final basis of the Io~1 wastewater SDC. A complete list of wastewater SDC/HUD BPR use codes is provided in

System Development Charge Methodology
Introduction
This document serves as the system development charge (SDC) methodology for the
Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) Regional Wastewater
System. The MWMC is the regional wastewater treatment agency for the Eugene-
Springfield metropolitan area. System development charges may be collected from all
development that connects to the Regional Wastewater System, including development that
changes the use of existing development, when the change of use results in a greater impact
on the system.
The methodology contained in this document was developed in accordance with Oregon
SDC legislation (ORS 223.297-223.314), and with the guidance of a Citizen Advisory
Committee (CAC) appointed by MWMC. Table 1 provides a comparison of key
methodological requirements from the Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) to elements of the
MWMC methodology.

System Development Charge Methodology
Overview
The SDC methodology for MWMC is based on a combined reimbursement and
improvement structure, as shown in Figure 1. The methodology consists of the following
elements:
· Determine capacity needs
· Develop cost basis
· Develop SDC schedule
· Calculate revenue offsets and credits

SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY
The reimbursement fee is based on the value of available capacity in the system that will
serve growth. The improvement fee is based on future facility costs associated with
providing growth's additional capacity needs (above what is already available in the
system). Together, the reimbursement and improvement fees recover costs equal to
growth's capacity needs.
Existing system available capacity and future improvement costs needed to expand capacity
for growth are distributed to capacity parameters (average flow, peak flow, biochemical
oxygen demand [BOD], and total suspended solids [TSS]), and spread over the total growth
units projected for the period to determine weighted average reimbursement and
improvement unit costs. The SDCs for individual developments are then determined by
applying the unit costs (by fee element and capacity parameter) to the individual
development estimated capacity requirements, and summing the results. The total SDC for
each development is then reduced by any applicable credits for past and future capital
payments.
Table 2 provides an example calculation for a single capacity parameter. The numbers
included in the table are intended to illustrate the methodology only (when applied to the
single capacity parameter of average flow); the numbers do not represent MWMC planning
criteria or cost data. Furthermore, the total SDC would include similar calculations for other
capacity parameters (i.e., peak flow, BOD, and TSS). In the example provided, total system
capacity needs at the end of the planning period are 60 million gallons per day (mgd).
Existing users are estimated to require 45 mgd (90 percent) of existing capacity, leaving
5 mgd (10 percent) available for growth. However, growth's total needs are 15 mgd,
meaning that additional investment will be required to expand system capacity by 10 mgd.

SEA31003271388(DG).DOC/041040034 3
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY
The example reimbursement fee cost basis includes 10 percent ($5 million) of existing
system value, associated with providing 5 mgd of capacity. The improvement fee cost basis
includes the costs to expand the facilities by 10 mgd, in this case estimated to be $12 million.
The total costs allocated to growth are equal to the total capacity required by growth (5 mgd
existing +10 mgd expansion) = 15 mgd total.
At this point the SDC schedule can be developed. First, the weighted average unit costs are
developed. This is accomplished by dividing the reimbursement fee and improvement fee
cost bases by the total growth capacity units (15 mgd in this case). By dividing the individual
fee elements by the total growth units, the combined fee is based on a weighted average cost
per unit. This is demonstrated in Table 2 where the individual unit costs are $333,000 per
mgd ($5 million/15 mgd) and $800,000 per mgd ($12 million/15 mgd), respectively, for
reimbursement and improvement elements; and $1.1 million per mgd ($17 million/15 mgd)
overall. The SDC for a user who requires 350 gallons per day (.000350 mgd) would equal
$116.67 reimbursement ($333,333 X 0.000350) + $280 improvement ($800,000 X 0.00035) for a
total of $396.67. The same fee would result from using the total cost per unit ($1.13 per
gallon per day) multiplied by the 350-gallon-per-day user requirements.
As the example demonstrates, the methodology meets the key requirements of the law, as
identified in Table 1:
Determines the amount of available capacity that exists and allocates costs to growth
accordingly.
· Allocates improvement costs to growth in proportion to future capacity needs.
· Does not recover the costs of the same capacity through the reimbursement and
improvement fees. Recovers cost associated with existing capacity through the
reimbursement fee, and recovers costs associated with new capacity through the
improvement fee. The charges to individual developments are based on a weighted
average cost of capacity.
Each element of the methodology is discussed in more detail below.
Methodology Element One: Determine Growth Capacity Needs
The Oregon SDC law requires explicit analysis of capacity required to serve growth-and
demonstration of how those capacity needs will be met through existing and future
facilities. Therefore, it is necessary to first determine the appropriate capacity parameter(s),
and growth's capacity requirements.
Step One. Capacity Parameters
The appropriate capacity measure relates to the sizing criteria of the wastewater system, and
may, to improve equity, require consideration of multiple parameters to assess the impact of
the utility's various types of users. As wastewater systems must be sized to meet all of their
customers' demands, flows and strength loadings are important sizing criteria. MWMC
provides service to a diverse customer base, so consideration of varying flow and load
requirements of different customer types is one facet that ensures the equity of the SDCs.
The four capacity measures or parameters used in the methodology are:
SEA31003271388(DG).DOC/041040034
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY
· Average flow
· Peak flow
· BOD
· TSS
These parameters are defined as follows:
· Average Flow- The average daily flow in the dry season as defined in the National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Because the NPDES permit
requires the Eugene-Springfield Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) to meet permit
discharge limits on a monthly basis, the average flow is presented in terms of dry season
maximum month values when discussing "capacity." The dry season maximum month
flow includes base flow (customer flow) and the baseline or dry season infiltration and
irmow (I/I).
· Peak Flow-The peak hour flow in the wet season associated with the 5-year, 24-hour
storm event. Peak flow includes average flow and the additional increment of wet
weather I/I.
· Biochemical Oxygen Demand-The quantity of oxygen used in the biochemical
oxidation of organic matter in a specified time and at a specified temperature. BOD is a
measurement of wastewater strength.
· Total Suspended Solids-Solids in the wastewater that are removable by laboratory
filtering and approximate the quantity of solids that are available to be removed from
the wastewater through sedimentation. TSS is a measurement of wastewater strength.
Table 3 provides the allocations of existing and future facility process components to the
system capacity parameters: average flow, peak flow, BOD, and TSS. A description of
process components is provided in Appendix A. The rationale for the allocation percentages
is provided in Appendix B. These allocations are used to determine the projected costs of
capacity to be used by new development that establish the reimbursement fee and
improvement fee cost bases. The underlying approach is to evaluate the following criteria
for each facility process component:
· Functional performance
· Design basis
The functional performance criterion considers the actual purpose of the facility on a daily
basis. Is the purpose of the facility to remove BOD or TSS from the wastewater? Or is the
purpose of the facility to simply pass the flow (average and/or peak) and remove some
other parameter not represented by BOD or TSS such as screenings, grit, or pathogens?
These questions are answered by the functional performance component. The design basis
considers what system capacity parameter or combination of parameters drives the sizing of
the facility and, therefore, the constructed cost. The allocation basis for each facility
component presented in Table 3 combines both the functional performance and design basis
considerations. In addition to these system parameters, because there can be projec, ts that
provide overall support for the wastewater system, a separate category of "indirect"
support facilities is used to provide for reallocation of these support-type costs across all of
the system capacity parameters.

Step Two. Growth Capacity Requirements
In developing SDCs, costs related to growth (see 'Cost Basis' below) are spread over
growth's total capacity requirements over the study period to determine the overall cost per
unit of growth by capacity measure. The study period is defined as a 20-year period,
consistent with facility planning requirements. The Department of Environmental Quality
(DEQ) stipulates that entities that own and operate wastewater facilities assume a 20-year
planning horizon when developing facility plans (see DEQ Guidance for Development of
Wastewater Facilities Plans, 2000).
To determine the capacity required by growth, the capacity required by existing users is
subtracted from the capacity projected in the facility plan to be required at the end of the
planning period. For peak flow estimates, existing users' current capacity requirements are
adjusted for anticipated I/I reductions (see Guidelines for the Preparation of Facilities Plans
and Environmental Reports for Community Wastewater Projects, 1999).
Methodology Element Two: Develop Cost Basis
The cost basis represents the total costs that the SDCs are intended to recover. The following
methodological issues were addressed in developing the reimbursement and improvement
fee cost bases:
· System Valuation (Reimbursement Fee) -The method for valuing existing facilities
with capacity to serve growth.
· Existing System Allocation (Reimbursement Fee)- The method for allocating existing
system facility value to growth.
S EA31003271388(DG). DOC/041040034
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY
· Project Cost Allocation (Improvement Fee)-The method for allocating future projects
to growth.
· Adjustments-Deductions or additions to the cost basis to recognize past or future
capital funding methods.
Each issue is discussed below.
Step One- System Valuation
Calculation of the reimbursement fee begins with a review of MWMC's fixed asset records
to determine the value of the existing system. The system is valued based on the inflation
adjusted original cost approach. Under this approach, the original cost of existing system
assets is adjusted by the Engineering News-Record national 20-city average Construction Cost
Index from the time of construction to estimate current values. The inflation adjusted cost
approach recognizes appreciation in the system since assets were constructed and assumes
that the wastewater system is maintained in perpetuity.
Step Two- Existing System Allocation
The existing system allocation methodology, for use in determining the reimbursement fee
cost basis, is a three-step allocation process1 comprised of the following steps, as illustrated
in Figure 2:
R-1. Allocate existing facility costs to facility process components (e.g., primary treatment,
secondary treatment).
R-2. Allocate costs by component to system capacity parameters (e.g., average flow, peak
flow).
R-3. Allocate costs to growth based on estimated available capacity by service parameter.
The allocation of existing facility costs to facility process components is fairly straight-
forward, as most projects relate directly to an individual component (e.g., secondary
clarifiers are a part of secondary treatment), or support the entire treatment system (e.g.,
control systems). Existing facility costs (valued in terms of inflation-adiusted costs) by
process component are then allocated to capacity parameters based on the allocation
fractions in Table $.
The final step in the allocation process is to multiply the costs by capacity parameter by the
percent of capacity available by parameter. To determine the available capacity for a
parameter, the amount of capacity that is currently being used (or required for existing
users) is subtracted from the current rated capacity. If the current capacity requirement is
equal to or greater than the existing capacity, then there is no available capacity, and none of
the costs related to that parameter is included in the reimbursement fee cost basis. Table 4
shows existing system available capacity by parameter based on system planning criteria.
The documentation for these figures is provided in Appendix C.
1 The numbering of the steps for the existing system allocation process is preceded by an "R" to identify these steps as relating
to the Reimbursement Fee calculation. Later processes relating to the Improvement Fee calculation are indicated by an 'T' in
the number sequence.

Step Three- Project Cost Allocation
The project cost allocation methodolo~¢, for use ~ determLnLng the improvement fee cost
basis, is a four-step allocation process consistLng of the follow~g steps:
I-1. Allocate project costs to facility process components (e.g., primary treatment, secondary
treatment).
I-2. Allocate costs by components to system capacity parameters (e.g., average flow, peak
flow).
I-3. Allocate project costs to type (capacity improvement, performance upgrade, or
rehabilitation).
I4. Allocate costs to user type (existing customers or projected growth).
SEA31003271388(DG).DOCT041040034
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY
The project cost allocation methodology provides an equitable basis for determining the
projects or portions of projects that are related to growth capacity needs and are, thereby,
included in the improvement fee portion of the SDC calculation. The methodology is not
tied to a specific list of projects intended to be funded by SDCs (20-year project list), but is
intended to provide a consistent framework for allocation of future projects to growth.
Each step of the methodology is described below. The general allocation process is also
presented graphically in Figure 3.

The allocation of future projects to facility process components is generally fairly
straightforward, as most projects relate directly to an individual component or support the
entire treatment system. The refinement of the facility component allocation process for
MWMC relates to recognition of peak flow management costs. While it is likely that future
project lists will include projects entirely related to peak flow management, it is also likely
that portions of projects relating to various aspects of the treatment process (e.g., secondary
treatment) will also play a role in future peak flow management.
The following question needs to be answered when allocating project costs to facility
components: "Which specific facility component does the project expand or improve?" If the
project expands or improves more than one facility component, then project costs should be
apportioned relative to the expansion or improvement of each applicable component.
SEA31003271388(DG).DOC/041040034
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY
The allocation fractions from Table 3 are used to distribute costs by facility component to
capacity parameter, as was done for the existing system cost allocations. The basis for these
allocations is described in Appendix B.
Step I-3 of the project cost allocation methodology is to allocate costs to project types. The
three project types, which are intended to be representative of the complete project list, are:
1. Capacity-Projects or portions of projects that are related to increasing liquids and/or
biosolids conveyance, treatment, and disposition capacity beyond existing design
standards (i.e., projects that provide the next capacity increment within the planning
period).
2. Performance Improvements-Projects that increase system capacity by increasing the
level of performance provided by facilities. Unlike 'capacity' projects that relate only to
the next increment of capacity, performance upgrades are generally sized based on total
projected capacity needs at the end of the planning period (existing and future).
3. Rehabilitation- Projects designed to remedy an existing system deficiency and do not
enhance system capacity.
Capacity and performance upgrade projects can be new facilities, or upgrade/expansion of
existing facilities. Rehabilitation projects are the replacement of outdated or worn out
equipment or facilities.
The majority of the projects will typically fall completely into one project type. However,
some projects may be split between capacity and performance types. The general criteria for
allocating projects to the above categories are shown in Table 5. These criteria should be
applied in the development of specific projects for inclusion in the appropriate planning .
document or project list and should be considered and evaluated as part of the process of
adoption of such a plan or project list.

SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY
Once project costs have been allocated to system component and project type categories,
and the costs have been distributed to the system capacity parameters, the final step in the
project cost allocation process is to assign costs to user types. For the purposes of the SDC
methodology, there are two user types: 1) existing customers, and 2) new customers or
growth. Costs that are allocated to growth are incorporated into the SDC improvement fee
calculation. Costs allocated to existing customers must be paid through some other funding
sources (e.g., existing reserves or future user rates).
As indicated in Figure 3, the allocation of project costs to growth is a function of the type of
project and a detailed capacity analysis that identifies growth's share of: 1) planned capacity
expansion, and 2) total future load.
Costs by capacity parameter are allocated to growth as follows:
Capacity Projects: Growth' s share of capacity expansion (%) X project cost ($)
Performance Upgrades: Growth' s share of total future system capacity (%) X project cost ($)
Rehabilitation Projects: Allocation to growth = 0%
Where:
1. Growth's share of capacity expansion = Projected growth capacity requirement (not met
by existing available capacity) divided by additional capacity to be added to the system
by planned improvements.
2. Growth's share of total future system capacity = Projected growth capacity requirement
(total) divided by total future system capacity requirement.
Table 6 summarizes the growth allocation percentages by project type. The documentation
for these figures is provided in Appendix C.

Step Four- Adjustments
The methodology includes the following adjustments to the reimbursement and
improvement fee cost bases:
· Gifts or grants from federal or state government or private persons. Existing (and if
applicable in the future, planned) asset costs are reduced by the percent of the asset that
is funded by grants.
SEA31003271388(DG).DOC/041040034
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY
· Ratemaking principles employed to finance the capital improvements. Projected
capital financing cost (i.e., interest expense) is added to the cost basis, based on the
recommended project phasing and the need to borrow funds.
Methodology Element Three: Develop SDC Schedule
Unit costs for each capacity parameter are determined by dividing the adjusted cost basis by
the projected growth capacity requirements. The unit costs are then multiplied by the
estimated capacity requirements of different types of users, as determined from industry
reference data. Figure 4 illustrates this process.
FIGURE 4--SDC SCHEDULE DEVELOPMENT
Capacity
Unit Costs Requirement / SDC / Unit
X =
X =
Using industry reference data for charging SDCs is consistent with the approach MWMC
has previously used to charge SDCs. This type of approach uses flow and strength
assumptions that are consistent with the system capacity parameters described previously.
For example, average flow is defined as dry season maximum month flow. This capacity
measure is used in estimating user capacity requirements. The peak-to-average flow ratio
reflects the system planning assumptions. The flow and strength assumptions for various
land uses (development types) are presented in Appendix D. If information for a particular
development is not found in Appendix D, the SDC will be formulated using average data of
like or similar development as determined by the City Engineer.
Methodology Element Four: Calculate Revenue Offsets and Credits
To comply with Oregon SDC law, the SDC methodology must ensure that future system users
contribute no more than an "equitable share" of the capital costs of existing facilities: Before
real property is developed, it may have been subject to taxes that supported capital funding of
some of the Regional Wastewater System. After a development connects to the system, it will
pay rates and, possibly taxes as well, that may also support some level of capital funding. The
SEA31003271388(DG).DOC/041040034
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY
SDC methodology therefore considers past and future payments to be made by new
developments, which may partially fund the same facilities for which the SDCs were paid.
Past Payments
A portion of MWMC's existing facility costs were funded through general obligation (GO)
bonds. The debt service on the bonds was retired through property taxes. Undeveloped land
in the cities of Eugene and Springfield was subject to property taxes, and therefore a GO
bond credit is included in the methodology. The credit is equal to the present value of past
payments on bond principal, expressed in dollars per $1,000 of assessed valuation. The
credit shall accrue from the year of annexation, and be based upon the assessed value of the
real property at the time of application for connection to the system.
Appendix E shows the calculation of the GO bond credit.
Future Payments
The methodology considers whether growth will provide a net contribution through
wastewater user fee rates to the cost of capital improvements that benefit existing
customers. If such a contribution is indicated, a credit is provided. The credit is based on a
present-worth analysis, structured as follows:
1. Annual capital costs (adjusted for inflation) associated with 'existing customers' share of
the project list costs (net of rehabilitation costs) are estimated based on the
recommended phasing schedule.
2. The annual capital expenditures are reduced by revenues from reserves and
reimbursement fees to estimate required debt funding
3. Debt services costs are estimated for repayment of borrowed funds
4. Future billing units (average flow and pounds of BOD and TSS) are estimated for the
planning period based on system planning criteria
5. The annual user rate supported debt service per billing unit is determined for the life of
the debt.
6. The present value of the future stream of rate payments is determined for each year of
the planning period.
A credit amount per unit of capacity is determined based on the year of development and
the projected length of future payments.
At the time of adoption of the project list upon which SDCs are to be based, or any periodic
modification to such list, an estimate of project financing costs will be made, based upon the
assumed timing of projects and other available funding sources. The proportion of this debt
financing to be funded by user rates attributable to users estimated to connect in each year is
calculated, and the net present value for each year of the planning period of this series of
cash flows is applied as a credit against the improvement SDC generated by the
methodology.

Appendixes
APPENDIX A
System Component Definitions
The below facility process components were selected because they represent existing
distinct processes/components, as well as new processes/components anticipated in the
future (e.g., tertiary filters and effluent reuse). These facility components also relate
differently to system capacity parameters (discussed in Methodology Element Two), so the
initial allocation of project costs to facility components facilitates the next step of allocating
costs to capacity parameters, and ultimately to user type. As regulatory requirements
change in the future, MWMC should review the facility component categories, and update
as appropriate.
Collection System Pipeline -- The pipelines owned and operated by MWMC that collect
sewage from individual customers and deliver it to the treatment plant.
Collection System Pump Stations- MWMC pump stations that impart energy into the
wastewater so that it flows through the collection system pipes or is lifted to a higher
elevation. The influent screw pumps at the Eugene/Springfield Water Pollution Control
Facility (WPCF) are included in this component.
Preliminary Treatment--Screenings and grit removal facilities. Preliminary treatment
facilities are sometimes referred to as headworks facilities because they are located at the
front or head end of treatment plants.
Primary Treatment-The sedimentation process intended to remove suspended solids from
the wastewater. This component includes the primary sedimentation settling tanks and
associated pumping systems for material that is removed from the top (scum/skimmings)
and bottom (primary sludge) of the settling tanks.
Secondary Treatment- A biological process to remove the soluble and colloidal organic
matter that remains after primary treatment. Facilities typically include aeration basins and
the associated blowers that provide air to the basins, and secondary clarification settling
tanks and the associated pumping facilities that transport the settled biological sludge to
subsequent biosolids processing facilities.
Disinfection/Outfall-Process elements at the downstream end of the treatment process.
Disinfection kills or inactivates remaining pathogens contained in the treated wastewater,
and the outfall conveys the treated wastewater to the Willamette River where it can be
distributed through a diffuser in an environmentally sound manner.
Biosolids - Management and disposal of the organic and inorganic suspended solids that
have been removed from the wastewater through the treatment processes. This facility
component is divided into three subcomponents because of differences in available and
future required capacity. The three subcomponents are as follows:
· General-The general subcomponent consists of biosolids thickening and anaerobic
digestion at the WPCF; the biosolids pump station/force main system that conveys
SEA31003271388(DG).DOC/041040034
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY
digested biosolids from the WPCF to the Biosolids Management Facility (BMF); and
facultative sludge storage lagoons and drying beds at the remote BMF. The majority of
the infrastructure associated with this "General" subcomponent were constructed in the
1980s and early 1990s.
· Dewatering- MWMC-installed mechanical biosolids dewatering at the remote BMF for
the purpose of removing water from the biosolids so that the remaining biosolids
volume is reduced. This dewatering facility was designed to accommodate 7,000 dry
tons of biosolids on an annual average basis.
· Biocycle Farm - MWMC is in the process of expanding the capability of the biosolids
management program by constructing a poplar plantation or biocycle farm (BF) that can
accept non-dewatered biosolids, therefore limiting dependence on the cooperative farms
land application program that typically uses dewatered biosolids.
Tertiary Filters- Filters to remove TSS and to a lesser degree BOD/ammonia from the
secondary effluent.
Reuse Facilities-These facilities enable reuse of effluent and include UV disinfection;
pumping of filtered, disinfected effluent; pipelines to convey the water to the end use site;
and irrigation distribution/application systems.
Odor Control - Facilities that collect and treat odorous air generated by the treatment of
wastewater and biosolids.
Peak Flow Management-- A new facility component that functions to convey, treat, and
discharge wet season peak flow (based on the 5-year, 24-hour rainfall event). Facilities must
be provided so that the peak flow can reach and pass through the WPCF without
overtopping structures so that untreated/partially treated sewage does not spill onto the
ground and/or into waterways.
Support Facilities (Indirects)- These facilities serve MWMC's overall mission as opposed
to one specific facility component. Examples include control systems, civil infrastructure
such as roads within the WPCF site, and equipment storage facilities.
SEA31003271388(DG).DOC/041040034
APPENDIX B
Capacity Parameter Allocation Basis
System Capacity Parameters are based on permitting requirements. Facility process
components (defined in Appendix A) are allocated to each of the system capacity
parameters, as described below.
Collection System Pipelines
This category consists of major gravity sewer pipelines and force mains (pressure lines) that
convey flow for the regional wastewater collection system. Since the primary function of the
pipelines is to convey flow, the allocation is assigned to either average or peak flow and
none to wastewater strength parameters (i.e., BOD and TSS). The majority of the time the
conveyance system is carrying average flows. However, the limiting design criteria when
sizing pipelines is based on peak flows.
An assessment of the wet season I/I, which is the key driver in determining the peak flows,
can be used as a guide in determining the average/peak allocation breakdown. Table B-1
presents the wet season I/I as a percentage of total peak flow for existing capacity, current
loading, and future required capacity.
TABLE B-I
Design Criteria Basis For Unit Processes Driven By Peak Flow
Average Wet Weather I/I as a

(mgd) (mgd) (rngd) Flow, %
Existing capacity 49 126 175 72%

Projected 2025 loading 59.3 218.7a 277 79%
(future capacity required)
Notes:
a) Net reduction in total I/I occurs between now and 2025 as a result of I/I reduction efforts by the cities.
The range of wet weather I/I as a percentage of total peak flow for these three scenarios
ranges from 72 to 84 percent. The arithmetic average of these three values is 78 percent.
Therefore, a reasonable approach is to allocate a quarter to functional use basis, or average
flow; and three quarters to the design criteria sizing basis, or peak flow.
· Average Flow - 1/4
· Peak Flow - 3/4
SEA31003271388(DG).DOC/041040034
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY
Collection System Pump Stations
The category collection system pump stations consist of pump stations that impart
additional head or pressure to the wastewater so that the flow is conveyed to the WPCF. An
example of such a facility is the Wilakenzie Pump Station. These regional pump stations
have the same functional and design criteria basis as the regional collection system
pipelines, and, therefore, the allocations are:
· Average Flow - 1/4
· Peak Flow - 3/4
Preliminary Treatment
Preliminary treatment facilities are located between the pump stations and primary
treatment, consisting of screenings and grit removal facilities. Minimal organic matter
(BOD) is removed during preliminary treatment. Also, solid materials removed during
preliminary treatment tend to be large and heavy in nature; these materials are not typically
considered a "suspended" material (or TSS). Consequently, the loading parameters of BOD
and TSS generally do not apply to preliminary treatment, and the unit process category is
entirely flow based. The functional and design criteria basis for preliminary treatment are
very similar to that of the collection system facilities, and, therefore, the allocation is
identical to the preceding categories. The split between average and peak flow is as follows:
· Average Flow - 1/4
· Peak Flow-3/4
Primary Treatment
Primary treatment consists of the four, large, circular concrete basins (primary clarifiers) and
the associated equipment used to remove solids that settle to the bottom of the basins. The
purpose of primary treatment from a functional basis is to remove TSS and to a lesser
degree BOD. Typical percent removal across primary treatment for TSS and BOD are 60 and
30 percent, respectively. In other words, twice as much TSS is removed relative to BOD.
For the design criteria basis, typical primary clarifiers sizing is governed by both average
and peak flow, but for MWMC, where the parallel primary/secondary approach is
proposed for peak flow management, the peak flow will be split between primary treatment
and secondary treatment. Likewise, if the high-rate clarification peak flow management is
ultimately implemented (because regulatory approval is not obtained for the parallel
primary/secondary approach), the peak flow will be split between the primary treatment
and the high-rate clarification. Therefore, only average flow is considered in the cost
allocation.
Combining the functional basis with the design criteria basis, the following allocation is for
primary treatment:
· Average Flow - 1/4
· BOD- 1/4
· TSS- 1/2
SEA31003271388(DG),DOCT041040034
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY
Secondary Treatment
Secondary treatment consists of two trains of aeration basins, eight secondary clarifiers, and
the associated blowers and pumps that function to treat and remove organic loading (BOD)
and to a lesser extent TSS from the wastewater. On a functional basis, secondary treatment
is regarded as removing roughly twice as much BOD relative to TSS.
For the design criteria basis, typical secondary treatment sizing is governed by both average
and peak flow, but for MWMC, where the parallel primary/secondary approach (or high-
rate clarification approach as a second choice) is proposed for peak flow management, the
peak flows will be split between primary treatment and secondary treatment. Therefore,
only average flow is considered in the cost allocation.
Combining the functional basis with the design criteria basis, the following allocation is for
secondary treatment:
· Average Flow - 1/4
· BOD- 1/2
· TSS - 1/4
Disinfection/Outfall
Following secondary treatment, the wastewater is disinfected (chlorinated and
dechlorinated) and discharged to the Willamette River through an outfall pipe. Both the
function and sizing of these facilities are entirely based on flow. The relationship between
the functional basis and design criteria is identical to that for the collection system facilities
and, therefore, the following allocation is for disinfection/outfall:
· Average Flow - 1/4
· Peak Flow - 3/4
Biosolids
Biosolids are a byproduct of wastewater treatment and are produced during the primary
treatment, secondary treatment, and to a lesser degree tertiary treatment processes. The
three subcomponents used to allocate biosolids treatment, handling, and disposal/reuse
costs for purposes of SDC calculations are:
· General
· Dewatering
· Biocycle Farm
The definitions of these subcomponents are presented in Appendix C, Growth Capacity
Allocation Documentation. The three subcomponents were developed for the SDC update
because of the differing available capacities and growth percentages associated with
facilities in the subcomponents. However, in terms of allocating the facility components to
the wastewater parameters, the methodology is identical-independent of which
subcomponent is being considered.
SEA3100327 t388(DG).DOC/041040034
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY
Biosolids facilities at the WPCF and the BMF are both sized and function to treat the BOD
and TSS removed during the treatment process; therefore, their allocation is split equally
between BOD and TSS.
· BOD- 1/2
· TSS- 1/2
Tertiary Filters
The existing WPCF does not have tertiary filters. The 20-year project list recommends that
tertiary filters be installed to enable the WPCF to consistently meet the NPDES permit
discharge requirements. The permit includes mass limits for BOD and TSS. As influent
flows to the WPCF increase in the future, the effluent concentration required to meet the
mass limits decreases. Addition of the filters will assist with meeting these more stringent
effluent concentrations. From a functional basis, the main purpose of the filters is to remove
TSS, and to a lesser degree BOD. From a design criteria sizing basis, average flow is used to
determine the size of the facilities. In the wet weather season, a portion of the peak flow
may be routed to the filters for additional treatment. However, the associated peak flow
loading rate onto the filters will not be the limiting factor in terms of design criteria sizing.
Following is the allocation for the tertiary filter treatment category:
· Average Flow- 1/4
· BOD- 1/4
· TSS- 1/2
Reuse Facilities
Reuse facilities may be constructed to comply with more stringent regulatory requirements
related to temperature and/or thermal load restrictions of Willamette River discharges.
Reuse facilities would allow flow to be diverted from the river by reusing plant effluent for
irrigation. The basic design criterion used to size reuse facilities is average flow; so this
parameter receives 100 percent of the allocation.
· Average Flow - 100 percent
Odor Control
Odor control facilities function by collecting odorous air from preliminary/primary liquids
treatment processes and biosolids treatment/handling processes and treating the air to
remove the odors. Odor generation is dependent on the influent loading levels and,
therefore, the allocation is split equally between BOD and TSS because both parameters
contribute to the sizing and function of the odor control systems.
· BOD- 1/2
· TSS- 1/2
Peak Flow Management
There are a number of future capital improvement projects that specifically function to
convey, treat, and discharge the wet season peak flow. For example, the parallel
primary/secondary peak flow management approach is proposed solely to address peak
SEA31003271388(DG).DOC/041040034
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY
flows. Also, there are facilities such as the dry weather headworks where a portion of their
function or design criteria sizing is based on peak flow.
The peak flow management category is allocated entirely to peak flow, as both the ongoing
function and the sizing design criteria sizing are based solely on peak flow.
· Peak Flow - 100 percent
Support Facilities (Indirects)
The support facilities or indirect category captures certain types of treatment plant facilities
that serve multiple functions, such as the laboratory, land acquisition, and instrumentation
and control systems. Costs of these types of facilities are allocated across the other
11 components in'proportion to the weighted average allocation percentages. For the
reimbursement fee, the weighted average reflects the direct allocation of existing asset costs
to the 11 facility components. For the improvement fee, the weighted average reflects the
allocation of the 20-year project list to the 11 facility components.
· Support facilities allocated proportionally to the other 11 facility components.

Notes:
AThe 30-mgd peak flow attributed to growth consists of 15.5 mgd of average flow and 14.5 mgd of wet season I/I
flow. See the following discussion for a detailed derivation of these values.
The rationale for these values is presented in the following paragraphs.
Average Flow
The existing capacity is stated in the current NPDES permit as 49 mgd that represents the
dry season design rating for the WPCF. The current loading or current required capacity is
43.8 mgd (presented in DSMM terms). The DSMM value is used to compare to the dry
season design rating of the WPCF because the NPDES discharge permit stipulates that the
WPCF meet monthly average permit requirements. Therefore, discharge permit
requirements must be met on a dry season, maximum-month influent condition. This
43.8-mgd value is determined as follows:
SEA31003271388(DG).O0Od041040034
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY
Current average flow (presented as DSMM) = ((129 x 217,737 x 1.5)/1,000,000) + 1.7i = 43.8
Where:
- 129 is the average gallons per capita per day (gpcd) of the dry season values from
1990 to 2002
- 217,737 is the population served in 2002
- 1.5 is the selected peaking factor to convert average dry season flow to maximum
month dry season flow (based on 1990 to 2002 data)
- 1.7i is the current industrial flow in mgd
The available capacity in terms of average flow is 5.2 mgd (49 - 43.8).
The projected 2025 average flow is determined as follows:
Projected 2025 average flow (presented DSMM) = ((129 x 297,585 x 1.5)/1,000,000) + 1.7 =
59.3 mgd
Where:
- 129 is the average gpcd of the dry season values from 1990 to 2002
- 297,585 is the projected population to be served in 2025
- 1.5 is the selected peaking factor to convert average dry season flow to maximum
month dry season flow (based on 1990 to 2002 data)
- 1.7 is the projected industrial flow in mgd (it has been assumed that the
industrial flow will remain constant over the study period)
The total required capacity to meet the needs of growth in terms of average flow is 15.5 mgd
(59.3 - 43.8).
Peak Flow
A summary of the peak flow breakdown is presented in Table C-2. The existing capacity in
terms of peak flow is not defined in the NPDES permit, but the plant was originally
designed for a peak flow of 175 mgd, and therefore that is defined as the existing capacity.
MWMC does not currently have the collection and treatment capabilities to accommodate
the existing peak flow (which is greater than 175 mgd), and therefore the current peak flow
loading (required capacity) cannot be explicitly measured at the WPCF. Using a computer
model of the collection system MWMC is able to estimate the current peakflow. DEQ
defines the peak flow as the peak hour or peak instantaneous flow that occurs during the
5-year, 24-hour storm (3.9 inches of rainfall). Under these rainfall conditions, the model
predicts a current flow of 264 mgd. Therefore, there is no available capacity in terms of peak
flow. Since the current average flow is 43.8 mgd, the current wet season I/I is 220.2 mgd
(264 less 43.8).
Using the projected future 2025 population and land use, the model predicts peak flows of
294 mgd without I/I reduction efforts outlined in the 2000 WWFMP and 277 mgd with I/I
SEA31003271388(DG).DOC/041040034
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY
reduction efforts outlined in the 2000 WWFMP. Therefore, it is estimated that the I/!
reduction efforts will reduce I/! by approximately 17 mgd.
Wet season I/I in 2025 attributed to existing users is determined by subtracting the
anticipated reduction in wet season I/I (17 mgd) from the current wet season I/I
(220.2 mgd) yielding 203.2 mgd.
Finally, wet season I/I attributed to growth in 2025 is 14.5 mgd and is determined by taking
the 2025 total peak flow projection of 277 mgd and subtracting both the 2025 average flow
(59.3 mgd) and the 2025 wet season I/I attributed to existing users (203.2 mgd). Therefore,
the peak flow in 2025 attributed to growth is 30 mgd (15.5 mgd of average flow plus 14.5 of
wet season I/I flow).

Total peak flow 277 mgd
Total peak flow attributed to growth 30 mgd (15.5 + 14.5)
BOD
The methodology for BOD is similar to that of average flow. The existing capacity, although
not explicitly stated in the current NPDES permit, is 66,000 lbs/day, which was the value
used for the original WPCF design. The current loading or current required capacity in
presented in DSMM terms is 54,800 lbs/day and is determined as follows:
Current BOD = (0.185 x 217,737 x 1.3) + 2,402 = 54,800 lbs/day (actual calculated value of
54,756 lbs/day rounded to the nearest hundred pounds).
Where:
0.185 is the selected pounds per capita per day (ppcd) based on dry season
values from 1990 to 2002
217,737 is the population served in 2002
1.3 is the selected peaking to convert average dry season load to DSMM load
(based on 1990 to 2002 data)
2,402 is the current industrial BOD load in lbs/day
The available capacity in terms of BOD is 11,200 lbs/day (66,000 - 54,800).
SEA31003271388(DG),DOC/041040034
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY
The projected 2025 average load is determined as follows:
Projected 2025 BOD = (0.185 x 297,585 x 1.3) + 2,402 = 74,000 mgd (actual calculated value of
73,971 lbs/day rounded to the nearest hundred pounds)
Where:
0.185 is the selected pounds per capita per day (ppcd) based on dry season
values from 1990 to 2002
297,585 is the projected population to be served in 2025

(based on 1990 to 2002 data)
- 2,402 is the projected industrial flow in lbs/day (it has been assumed that the
industrial load will remain constant over the study period)
The required capacity to meet the needs of growth in terms of BOD is 19,200 lbs/day
(74,000 - 54,800).
T$$
The methodology for TSS is identical to that of BOD. The existing capacity, although not
explicitly stated in the current NPDES permit, is 71,600 lbs/day, which was the value used
for the original WPCF design. The current loading or current required, presented in DSMM
terms, is 64,700 lbs/day and is determined as follows:
Current TSS = (0.205 x 217,737 x 1.4) + 2,224 = 64,700 lbs/day (actual calculated value of
64,715 lbs/day rounded to the nearest hundred pounds)
Where:
- 0.205 is the selected pounds per capita per day (ppcd) based on dry season
values from 1990 to 2002
217,737 is the population served in 2002
1.4 is the selected peaking to convert average dry season flow to maximum
month dry season flow (based on 1990 to 2002 data)
2,224 is the current industrial TSS load in lbs/day
The available capacity in terms of TSS is 6,900 lbs/day (71,600 - 64,700).
The projected 2025 average TSS is determined as follows:
Projected 2025 TSS = (0.205 * 297,585 * 1.4) + 2,224 = 87,600 mgd (actual calculated value of
87,631 lbs/day) rounded to the nearest hundred pounds)
Where:
0.205 is the selected pounds per capita per day (ppcd) based on dry season
values from 1990 to 2002

Biosolids Treatment
The three subcategories used to allocate biosolids treatment, handling, and disposal/reuse
costs for purposes of SDC calculations are:
· General
· Dewatering
· Biocycle farm
Table C-3 presents a capacity summary of the MWMC biosolids facilities.
TABLE C-3

Growth share of capacity expansion 100% 0% 100%
The definition and capacity assessment development for these three subcomponents are
presented in the following paragraphs.
General
The general subcomponent consists of biosolids thickening and anaerobic digestion at the
WPCF; the biosolids pump station/force main system that conveys digested biosolids from
the WPCF to the BMF; and facultative sludge storage lagoons and drying beds at the remote
SEA31003271388(DG),DOC/041040034
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY
BMF. The majority of the infrastructure associated with this "General" component was
constructed in the 1980s and early 1990s.
The current loading or current required capacity is presented as annual average dry tons of
digested biosolids.
Current biosolids loading = 4,962 x 1.183 = 5,869 tons per year
Where:

1.183 factor to convert actual value to a value that can be directly compared to
the projected 2025 capacity value when a greater biosolids load will be generated
by changes in the treatment process, and is calculated as follows:
- = {(60 x 1.23) + (40 x 1.11)}/100= 1.183
- Where:
60 is the weighting given to BOD for biosolids production
1.23 is the BOD ppcd ratio (selected/actual) calculated as follows:
- = 0.185/0.15 = 1.23
Where:
0.185 is the selected annual average BOD ppcd for projected
influent BOD values
- 0.15 is the actual BOD ppcd (annual average over 12-year
period)
- 40 is the weighting given to TSS for biosolids production
- 1.11 is the TSS ppcd ratio (selected/actual) calculated as follows:
= 0.233/0.21 = 1.11
Where:
- 0.233 is the selected annual average TSS ppcd for projected
influent TSS values (average of dry (0.205) and wet (0.26)
seasonal values)
- 0.21 is the actual TSS ppcd (annual average over 12-year
period)
Some existing biosolids facilities in the "general" subcomponent have more than 5,869 dry
tons per year of processing capacity while other existing facilities have less. However, in
aggregate there is no available capacity and the existing capacity is assumed to be 5,869 dry
tons per year as well.
The projected 2025 biosolids is 8,600 dry tons per year on an average annual basis. This
value is estimated based on a computer model of the WPCF that predicts biosolids
SEA31003271388(DG).DOC/041040034
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY
production among many other parameters. The projected biosolids production in 2025 is
anticipated to increase at a slightly greater rate than the rate of population growth because
of the addition of tertiary filters that will remove additional solids from the wastewater. The
additional capacity needed to accommodate growth is 2,731 dry tons per year (8,600 -5,869).
Dewatering
MWMC recently installed mechanical biosolids dewatering at the BMF for the purpose of
removing water from the biosolids so that the remaining biosolids volume is reduced. This
dewatering facility was designed to accommodate 7,000 dry tons of biosolids on an annual
average basis. Therefore, the available capacity is 1,131 (7,000 less 5,869). The additional
capacity needed to accommodate growth is 1,131 dry tons per year (7,000 - 5,869).
Biocycle Farm
MWMC is in the process of expanding the capability of the biosolids management program
by constructing a poplar plantation or biocycle farm (BF) that can accept non-dewatered
biosolids, therefore limiting dependence on the cooperative farms land application program.
Phase 1 is currently under construction and is slated to be online spring 2004, and it is
assumed that the added flexibility that the Phase 1 BF provides will benefit existing users
only. Phase 1 has a capacity to accept 2,811 dry tons per year. For the purpose of
determining "available capacity" for the purpose of SDC development, it is assumed that
there is no existing available capacity associated with the Phase 1 Biocycle Farm. Phase 2
and 3 will expand the capacity to 3,612 dry tons per year
The additional capacity to meet the needs of growth is 801 dry tons per year (3,612 -2,811).

Appendix D
Stormwater System Charge Detail
1.0 Formula
The impact analysis for the stormwater system is based on square footage of impervious
surface, which creates an impact on the stormwater system by land use type. Impervious
surface is defined in section 6.406 Eugene code, 1971 as "any hard surface area which causes
water to run off the surface in greater quantities or at an increased rate of flow from conditions
pre-existing to development. Common impervious surfaces include, but are not limited to,
rooftops, walkways, driveways, parking lots, or concrete or asphalt surfaces." The estimated
non-assessable cost of the system-wide capacity from future capacity-enhancing projects, as
contained in the Stormwater SDC-Eligible Project List, and the estimated available capacity in
the existing stormwater system projected to be used by new development is used as the basis
for determining the stormwater SDC.
The stormwater SDC is comprised of an improvement fee and a reimbursement fee, as new
development will require the construction of additional system capacity as well as the use of
available capacity in the existing system. The per unit cost of additional capacity for the
improvement fee is based on the value of the system-wide capacity of future capacity-
enhancing projects (current planned projects are listed in the Stormwater SDC-Eligible Project
List, Table 13 1110) divided by the total projected impervious surface area that will be added by
new development at build-out within the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The per unit cost of
existing capacity for the reimbursement fee is based on the value of available system-wide
capacity within the existing system projected to be used by new development divided by the
total projected impervious surface area that will be added by new development at build-out
within the UGB.
The value of the future stormwater system is based on the estimated costs of planned future
capacity-enhancing stormwater projects contained within stormwater plans and the Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP). Of that total value, the SDC-eligible component is attributable to those
portions of future projects that are non-assessable and capacity-enhancing and related to the
demands of future development; i.e. add new capacity for new users.
The total value of the existing system is estimated based on the replacement cost of the
stormwater system components, which include both piped system and open channel system
components. Assessable costs are excluded from the SDC-eligible existing system costs.
Assessable costs are determined using the approach specified in the City Code. The city
assesses up to and including the first 24 inches of pipe diameter or equivalent capacity. The
non-assessable portion of stormwater system costs (SDC eligible costs) is based on
replacement costs minus assessable costs. The portion of non-assessable existing system
value allocated to new development (SDC-eligible value) is established by determining the
percent of piped system and open channel system capacity projected to be used by new
development. The use of capacity of the existing system is estimated with use of. hydraulic
modeling to identify existing available capacity (based on existing land use and flow data) and
expected future conditions (based on Metro Plan designations).
City of Eugene SDC Methodologies Stormwater,
The total unit cost per square foot of impervious surface area is the sum of the per unit costs of
additional capacity of the improvement fee and reimbursement fees. Table -1-2 9 provides a
detailed breakdown of the calculation and numerical supporting data of the stormwater SDC.
Figure 6 illustrates the calculation formula of the stormwater SDC. The stormwater SDC rates
per unit of capacity can be found in Appendix F in the current adopted SDC fee schedule.
2.0 Single Family Dwelling and Duplex Rates
The stormwater SDC for single family residential development is comprised of three rate
categories: Small residential with a building footprint of 1,000 square feet or less; Medium
residential with a building footprint of greater than 1,000 but less that 3,000 square feet; and
Large residential with a building footprint of 3,000 square feet or more. Building footprint is
defined as the first floor area plus attached or detached garage or carport. For the Small and
Medium residential rate categories, an estimated average impervious surface area (square feet)
specific to each category is multiplied by the current total stormwater SDC rate per square foot
to determine the appropriate single-family residential stormwater SDC flat rate per dwelling unit.
For the Large residential category, the stormwater SDC is determined by multiplying the actual
impervious surface of the total proposed building site by the current total stormwater SDC unit
cost per square foot. The stormwater SDC for a duplex is calculated as two times the
appropriate stormwater SDC flat rate of either a Small or Medium residential category. Duplex
units equal to or over 3,000 square feet each are treated as Large residential. Details of the
stormwater SDC analysis are provided in Table -1-2 ~. Rate formulas, calculations, and fee
schedule are provided in Appendix F.
3.0 Manufactured Home Park Rates
Manufactured home developments are charged a flat rate per individual space based on the
estimated average impervious area for a doublewide manufactured home, plus any additional
common area impervious surface (e.g., clubhouse, private streets). To determine the amount of
stormwater SDC attributable to the proposed spaces in the park, the total number of proposed
spaces is first multiplied by the estimated average impervious surface area (square feet) per
space, the results of which are then multiplied by the current total stormwater SDC unit cost per
square foot. To determine the amount of stormwater SDC attributable to all additional common
area impervious surfaces within the park, these areas will be measured separately and the sum
of this additional actual impervious surface area (square feet) will be multiplied by the current
total stormwater SDC rate per square foot. Details of the stormwater SDC analysis are provided
in Table -1-2 ~. Rate formulas, calculations, and fee schedules are provided in Appendix F.
4.0 Multi-Family and Non-Residential Rate
For all uses not listed in sections 2.0 and 3.0 above (e.g. multi-family, commercial, industrial) or
whenever this Appendix D makes reference to a rate per square foot of impervious surface area,
the stormwater SDC collected is determined to be the current stormwater SDC rate per square
foot of impervious surface area as adopted in the SDC fee schedule located in Appendix F.
5.0 Stormwater Impacts Not Attributable to Impervious Surface Area
For all uses not listed in sections 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 above, where any development type creates
an impact through discharges to the public stormwater system (as allowed by EC 6.610) which
are not attributable to creation or modification of impervious surface area, will have stormwater

Parks System Charge Detail
1.0 Formula
The parks SDC is determined based on the level of service and the cost for each component
listed in Table-1-4~::i?1. These components are identified in the 1989 Parks and Recreation Plan.
Included are neighborhood and community parks, and special facility areas which encompass
facilities such as tennis and basketball courts, softball diamonds and soccer fields. A parks
SDC is collected from residential development only. The basis of the charge is equivalent
dwelling units (EDUs).
Table -1-4-~?f' contains the current Eugene planning area standards for neighborhood and
community parks. Standards for special facility areas, also shown in Table -14-~;~i.!, were
developed by dividing the current planning area facility count by the current population to arrive
at the current level of service per thousand population.
This standard was then multiplied by the per-acre cost for land acquisition/development or the
per unit cost of each component to get the cost per 1,000 population. Then the per capita
amounts were derived by dividing by 1,000. The per capita component costs were then
summed to arrive at a cost impact per capita.
To calculate the cost per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU), the Total Charge per Person is
multiplied by the average number of persons per household, for the city. The population
records serve as the basis for deriving the average number of persons per dwelling unit, used in
the parks SDC analysis.

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
PARTIES:
Home Builders Association of Lane County,

And
Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission,
an Oregon intergove~, ental agency, (MWMC)

Springfield, OR 97477
RECITALS:
A. IvlWMC was created in 1977 by an intergovernmental agreement (iGA)
between the cities of Eugene and Springfield and Lane County (collectively the
Governing Bodies). Pursuant to the IGA, MWMC is respons~le for the design,
construction, operation and maintenance of regional sewerage facilities for the
Eugene/Springfield metropolitan area (Regional Facilities). Other MWMC functions
include the adoption of a schedule of user charges and connection fees for regional sewer
services. Connection fees (also known as System Development Charges or SDCs) are to
be charged to all neW sewer connections and are calculated annually. MWMC calculates
and recommends the mount of the user charges and connection fees for the Regional
Facilities to the Governing Bodies which adopt, impose, and collect them in their
respective jurisdictions.
B. During 1996 & 1997, MWMC developed a methodology pursuant to
which regional wasteWater SDCs were to be calculated. The Cities of Eugene and
Springfield adopted the Methodology in 1997 (1997 Methodology).
C. Almost 6 years later, MWMC recommended that the Cities modify thc
