-7.
a. Flow Calculation. For the purposes of calculating payments due for licensing under this section, flows shall be based on measured (ADS) flows, to the maximum extent feasible. Solids loading flows shall be based on the total flow originating within each member agency. Voting rights, as described in Section 12 shall be in no way affected by temporary use of reserve capacity under this section. Total Reserve Capacity is the total capacity shown in paragraph (g), below.
b. Monitorina of Canacitv Demand. Each agency shall provide monthly reports to EWA regarding future capacity committed, based upon its acceptance of applications for or issuance of any building permits, letters of availability, certificates or other entitlements for use which represent that sewer capacity is available to the applicant or project, or which enforceably or practically commit the agency to provide future sewer service. Reports shall be submitted in such form as the Board of EWA may require. Before the measured and committed flows reach 75% of Encina's total capacity (per Sections 9.31and 9.2), the EWA shall initiate a program to ensure adequate capacity to meet projected needs.
c. Excess Use a TreSDaSS. Any use of capacity in excess of 95% of their respective share of Encina's total capacity (per Sections 9.31 and 9.2) plus 50% of the Total Reserve Capacity, or otherwise in violation of this section, shall be considered a trespass. At the request of any member agency, EWA shall, and is hereby authorizedto specifically enforce the terms of this section (Section 9.53) against a member agency or agencies on behalf of the remaining member agencies, including through commencement of a proceeding at law or equity. The parties agree that specific enforcement is a proper remedy in that payment of damages is not an adequate remedy for the potential losses to any member agency resulting from the loss of capacity. For example, replacement of capacity may be impractical and the consequences for the economic development of the members are not readily subject to quantification. Each member agency hereby consents to the commencement of such action or actions by EWA, and waives any right it may have to further approval of such actions under the joint powers agreement creating and establishing EWA. In addition to any injunctive relief, EWA may seek consequential damages on behalf of the remaining member agencies. In any such action, the prevailing party shall be entitled to attorney's fees and costs.
d. Indemnitv and Hold Harmless. In addition to payment of the amount specified herein, each agency agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the EWA and the other member agencies for
any claim, demand, cost, penalty, fine or damage (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs of investigation), arising out of its violation of this section, whether resulting from the agency's active or passive, negligent or intentional act or failure to act to prevent a violation, and notwithstanding the active or passive negligence of those member agencies which are in compliance with the provisions of this section.
e. License Pavments. When any member agency's flows
-80
exceed 100% of its capacity allocation for the treatment of solids (for both Units I and K), and/or treatment and/or disposal of liquids, for any continuous three-month period, such member agency shall pay for the use of such capacity from the reserve capacity pool in accord with the schedule of values, as adjusted each July 1 (commencing in July 1991) by updating the facility spreadsheet to include any additional and changed capital project costs, and to reflect the current ENRLA construction cost index, as follows:
(1) Any portion of reserve up to 50% of Total Reserve Capacity:
$ 84,300 per MGD of Unit I liquid capacity per year $133,500 per MGD of Unit I solids capacity per year $ 36,000 per MGD of Unit J Capacity per year
(2) The use of reserve amounts over 50% of Total Reserve Capacity shall be a violation of this section. In addition to any other remedy provided herein, or available to EWA or the member agencies, an agency shall pay for such use:
$140,500 per MGD of Unit I liquid capacity per year $222,500 per MGD of Unit I solids capacity per year $ 60,000 per MGD of Unit J capacity per year
Payments to member agencies with unused reserve shall be made annually. Payments from member agencies shall be made quarterly to the EWA and held in a special account.
f. Restrictions on Use Over 40% of Reserve. If at any time any agency shall have enforceably or practically committed to provide future sewer service which, when added to its then existing actual flows, equals 95% of its allocated capacity (per Sections 9.31 and 9.2) plus 40% of the Total Reserve Capacity, such agency shall:
1. Immediately halt the acceptance or issuance of any building permits, letters of availability, certificates or other entitlements for use which represent that sewer capacity is the agency to provide future sewer service.
2. Immediately inform EWA, in writing, that it has reached this threshold, of the actions it has taken to implement (e) (1) above, and of its intention to present a plan to EWA, within 30 days, for capacity management to prevent the agency from exceeding use of 50% of the Total Reserve Capacity.

No agency shall provide capacity to any other member agency except pursuant to this section without the unanimous consent of the member agencies; provided that an agency may agree to provide additional capacity on a temporary basis to an agency which has used the maximum reserve capacity authorized by this section if: (1) such arrangement provides for payments at rates not less that the maximum reserve capacity rate per paragraph (e)(2), above: and (2) the capacity so provided does not reduce the Total Reserve Capacity available.
section l&Q CAPACITY RIGHTS FOR RECLAMATION
1CkQ.l Future Reclamation. Any member agency, at its own expense, may, and shall have the right to, reclaim water from any wastewater in the Joint System which emanates within the jurisdiction of the respective member agency. And, subject to the following limitations, each member agency shall have the right to install facilities for the reclamation of water from wastewater. Any proposed reclamation shall require the approval of all the member agencies in the event that the proposed reclamation facility is designed and/or constructed such that (i) any solids or non- treated effluent from any such facility may be discharged into Unit I of the Joint System and/or (ii) any reclaimed water may be discharged into Unit J of the Joint System. Such approval shall not be withheld unless the use of the proposed reclamation facility would adversely affect one or more of the member agencies and the reclaimer cannot reasonably mitigate the adverse impact.

All costs shall be allocated by unit process and among flow, BOD, and suspended solids in the manner recommended for revenue programs by the State Water Resources Control Board.
The replacement value of the existing Unit I and Unit J facilities at the mid-point of construction (projected ENRLA of 6465) shall be determined. In determining replacement value, grant funding shall be included except for the grant funding used to pay for the woversized" portion of "oversizedm items (i.e., items sized or undertaken for the ultimate site capacity, such as site grading and paving, piping, etc.).
Dollar ownership of the existing facilities shall be determined by multiplying existing ownership percentages times the replacement values determined in step b.
The cost of the proposed Phase IV facilities at the midpoint of construction (projected ENRLA of 6465) shall be estimated by the design engineer.
The total value of the EWPCF following construction of Phase IV shall be estimated by adding the replacement value of the existing facilities (determined in step b) to the estimated cost of the Phase IV project (determined in step d).
Needed dollar ownership of the EWPCF following construction of Phase IV shall be determined by multiplying the revised Unit I liguid and solids and Unit J ownerships (determined in Exhibit A of the Thirty-Ninth Supplement) by the total value of the EWPCF following construction of Phase IV (determined in step e).
Phase IV cost allocations shall be calculated by subtracting existing dollar ownerships (determined in step c) from needed dollar ownerships following construction,of Phase IV (determined in step f). Credits and buyings for existing facilities are automatically included in this calculation and need not be calculated separately: however, the dollar values of each are included below for background.

This capacity rating assumes that the wet weather peaking factor on the flows to Unit J shall continue to be less than 2.13, and all the parties hereto agree to make good faith efforts to ensure that the wet weather peaking factor on the flows to Unit J remains below 2.13.
9.4 Interim Capacitv Infrinsement. During the period of interim Unit I ownership and capacity allocations prior to Phase IV completion, as described in Section 9.2 above, the Member Agencies agree that when any Member Agency's Unit I flows exceed its interim capacity allocation for the treatment of solids, liquids, or both, for any continuous three-month period, such Member Agency shall purchase temporary capacity equal to such excess from all of the Member Agencies with such unused capacity rights on a pro rata basis. Such flows shall be based on measured (ADS) flows, to the maximum extent feasible. The use of capacity on a temporary basis shall be paid for based upon the August 1988 Capacity Management Report calculation allocating 50 percent of the value of the available capacity to the treatment of solids and 50 percent to the treatment of liquids, for a total value of $72,500 per mgd per year.
9.5 Post Phase IV Casacitv Infrinsement. Following Phase IV completion, the member agencies agree to make available up to 5 percent of their respective shares .of Encinals total capacities, as set forth in Section 9.3, through a reserve capacity
pool, in accordance with the following terms and conditions:
a. Flow Calculation. For the purposes of calculating payments due for licensing under this section, flows shall be based on measured (ADS) flows, to the maximum extent feasible. Solids loading flows shall be based on the total flow originating within each member agency. Voting rights, as described in Section 12 shall be in no way affected by temporary use of reserve capacity
JEH/SYs:\DMS\G~OOO24O!XW

under this section. Total Reserve Capacity is the total capacity shown in paragraph (g), below.
b. Monitorins of Capacitv Demand. Each agency shall provide monthly reports to EWA regarding future capacity committed, based upon its acceptance of applications for or issuance of any building permits, letters of availability, certificates or other entitlements for use which represent that sewer capacity is available to the applicant or project, or which enforceably or practically commit the agency to provide future sewer service. Reports shall be submitted in such form as the Board of EWA may require. Before the measured and committed flows reach 75% of Encinals total capacity (per Section 9.3), the EWA shall initiate a program to ensure adequate capacity to meet projected needs.
C. Excess Use a Trespass. Any use of capacity in excess of 95% of their respective share of Encinals total capacity (per Section 9.3) plus 50% of the Total Reserve Capacity, or otherwise in violation of this section, shall be considered a trespass. At the request of any member agency, EWA shall, and is hereby authorized to specifically enforce the terms of this section (Section 9.5) against a member agency or agencies on behalf of the remaining member agencies, including through commencement of a proceeding at law or equity. The parties agree that specific enforcement is a proper remedy in that payment of damages is not an adequate remedy for the potential losses to any member agency resulting from the loss of capacity. For example, replacement of capacity may be impractical and the consequences for the economic development of the members are not readily subject to quantification. Each member agency hereby consents to the commencement of such action or actions by EWA, and waives any right it may have to further approval of such actions under the joint powers agreement creating and establishing EWA. In addition to any injunctive relief, EWA may seek consequential damages on behalf of the remaining member agencies. In any such action, the prevailing party shall be entitled to attorney's fees and costs.
d. Indemnitv and Hold Harmless. In addition to payment of the amount specified herein, each agency agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the EWA and the other member agencies for
any claim, demand, cost, penalty, fine or damage (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs of investigation), arising out of its violation of this section, whether resulting from the agency's active or passive, negligent or intentional act or failure to act to prevent a violation, and notwithstanding the active or passive negligence of those member agencies which are in compliance with the provisions of this section.
e. License Pavments. When any member agency's flows exceed 100% of its capacity allocation for the treatment of solids, and/or treatment and/or disposal of liquids, for any continuous three-month period, such member agency shall pay for the use of such capacity from the reserve capacity pool in accord with the
JEH/SYs:\DMS\GVM\C@O24O!LWP

schedule of values, as adjusted each July 1 (commencing in July 1991) by updating the facility spreadsheet to include any additional and changed capital project costs, and to reflect the current ENRLA construction cost index, as follows:
(1) Any portion of reserve up to 50% of Total Reserve Capacity:
$ 84,300 per MGD of Unit I liquid capacity per year $133,500 per MGD of Unit I solids capacity per year $ 36,000 per MGD of Unit J capacity per year
(2) The use of reserve amounts over 50% of Total Reserve Capacity shall be a violation of this section. In addition to any other remedy provided herein, or available to EWA or the member agencies, an agency shall pay for such use:
$140,500 per MGD of Unit I liquid capacity per year $222,500 per MGD of Unit I solids capacity per year $ 60,000 per MGD of Unit J capacity per year
Payments to member agencies with unused reserve shall be made annually. Payments from member agencies shall be made quarterly to the EWA and held in a special account.
f. Restrictions on Use Over 40% of Reserve. If at any time any agency shall have enforceably or practically committed to provide future sewer service which, when added to its then existing actual flows, equals 95% of its allocated capacity (per Section 9.3) plus 40% of the Total Reserve Capacity, such agency shall:
1. Immediately halt the acceptance or issuance of any building permits, letters of availability, certificates or other entitlements for use which represent that sewer capacity is the agency to provide future sewer service.
2. Immediately inform EWA, in writing, that it has reached this threshold, of the actions it has taken to implement (e) (1) above, and of its intention to present a plan to EWA, within 30 days, for capacity management to prevent the agency from exceeding use of 50% of the Total Reserve Capacity.

No agency shall provide capacity to any other member agency except pursuant to this section without the unanimous consent of the member agencies; provided that an agency may agree to provide additional capacity on a temporary basis to an agency which has used the maximum reserve capacity authorized by this section if: (1) such arrangement provides for payments at rates not less that the maximum reserve capacity rate per paragraph (e)(2), above: and (2) the capacity so provided does not reduce the Total Reserve Capacity available.
Section 10 DEFINITION OF PHASE IV COMPLETION
For purposes of Phase IV capacity allocated under Section 9, "completiontl is defined as the time when the entire additional treatment train is available for use in compliance with regulatory permits (NPDES APCD, etc.) and the Western Summit/TIC construction contract.
Section 11 CAPACITY RIGHTS FOR RECLAMATION
11.1 Future Reclamation. Any member agency, at its own expense, may, and shall have the right to, reclaim water from any wastewater in the Joint System which emanates within the jurisdiction of the respective member agency. And, subject to the following limitations, each member agency shall have the right to install facilities for the reclamation of water from wastewater. Any proposed reclamation shall require the approval of all the member agencies in the event that the proposed reclamation facility is designed and/or constructed such that (i) any solids or non- treated effluent from any such facility may be discharged into Unit I of the Joint System and/or (ii) any reclaimed water may be discharged into Unit J of the Joint System. Such approval shall not be withheld unless the use of the proposed reclamation facility fl would adversely affect one or more of the member agencies and the reclaimer cannot reasonably mitigate the adverse impact. Nothing in this section shall be construed so as to require approval by the

All costs shall be allocated by unit process and among flow, BOD, and suspended solids in the manner recommended for revenue programs by the State Water Resources Control Board.
The replacement value of the existing Unit I and Unit J facilities at the mid-point of construction (projected ENRLA of 6465) shall be determined. In determining replacement value, grant funding shallbe included except for the grant funding used to pay for the ttoversizedtt portion of ttoversizedtt items (i.e., items sized or undertaken for the ultimate site capacity, such as site grading and paving, piping, etc.).
Dollar ownership of the existing facilities shall be determined by multiplying existing ownership percentages times the replacement values determined in step b.
The cost of the proposed Phase IV facilities at the midpoint of construction (projected ENRLA of 6465) shall be estimated by the design engineer.
The total value of the EWPCF following construction of Phase IV shall be estimated by adding the replacement value of the existing facilities (determined in step b) to the estimated cost of the Phase IV project (determined in step d).
Needed dollar ownership of the EWPCF following construction of Phase IV shall be determined by multiplying the revised Unit I liquid and solids and Unit J ownerships (determined in Exhibit A of the Thirty-Ninth Supplement) by the total value of the EWPCF following construction of Phase IV (determined in step e).
Phase IV cost allocations shall be calculated by subtracting existing dollar ownerships (determined in step c) from needed dollar ownerships following construction of Phase IV (determined in step f). Credits and buyins for existing facilities are automatically included in this calculation and need not be calculated separately: however, the dollar values of each are included below for background.

All costs shall be allocated by unit process and among flow, BOD, and suspended solids in the manner recommended for revenue programs by the State Water Resources Control Board.
The replacement value of the existing Unit I and Unit J facilities at the mid-point of construction (projected ENRLA of 6465) shall be determined. In determining replacement value, grant funding shall be included except for the grant funding used to pay for the "oversized" portion of "oversized" items (i.e., items sized or undertaken for the ultimate site capacity, such as site grading and paving, piping, etc.).
Dollar ownership of the existing facilities shall be determined by multiplying existing ownership percentages times the replacement values determined in step b.
The cost of the proposed Phase IV facilities at the midpoint of construction (projected ENRLA of 6465) shall be estimated by the design engineer.
The total value of the EWPCF following construction of Phase IV shall be estimated by adding the replacement value of the existing facilities (determined in step b) to the estimated cost of the Phase IV project (determined in step d).
Needed dollar ownership of the EWPCF following construction of Phase IV shall be determined by multiplying the revised Unit I liquid and solids and Unit J ownerships (determined in Exhibit A of the Thirty-Ninth Supplement) by the total value of the EWPCF following construction of Phase IV (determined in step e) .
Phase IV cost allocations shall be calculated by subtracting existing dollar ownerships (determined in
step c) from needed dollar ownerships following
construction of Phase IV (determined in step f) . Credits and buyings for existing facilities are automatically included in this calculation and need not be calculated separately; however, the dollar values of each are included below for background.

BACKGROUND: The Revised Basic Agreement requires the Encina Operator/Administrator
(Encina Wastewater Authority, or EWA) to take or cause to be taken flow
measurements to determine the amount of wastewater discharged into the Joint
System by each member agency.
Flow measurements are used for:
1. Allocating operating and maintenance costs,
2. Monitoring capacity,
3. Planning information, and
4. Meeting NPDES reporting requirements.
In 1983, a Flow Metering Policy was established that was subsequently
amended. The policy was based on a decentrahzed approach to flow
measurement and reporting.
In 1989, an enhanced centralized flow measurement system was installed. The
purpose of the enhanced system was to improve flow measurement and data
collection through means including telemetry, computer storage, and meter
redundancy. Authorization to implement the system came from separate
agreements between the EWA (formerly the Encina Administrative Agency, or
EAA) and each member agency. The agreements established the specific terms
and conditions required of the EWA and member agencies to operate and
maintain the metering system.
This Flow Metering Policy reflects the centraliied approach and the individual
agreements.
POLICY: 1. Centralized Flow Metering System. Flows from each member agency to the
EWPCF and the Encina Ocean Outfall shall be based on the values derived
from a centralized basin-wide flow metering system.
Ref 1848
2.
Specific terms and conditions associated with system operation and
maintenance shall be as defined in separate agreements(s) between the EWA
and its member agencies.
Meter Calibrations. The EWPCF effluent meters (two in parallel measuring
secondary effluent and known as meter station EEl) shall be calibrated on a
regular basis. It is possible to measure the entire secondary effluent flow using
one meter at a time, thereby allowing comparison of one meter to the other,
this procedure shall be conducted at least quarterly. Each secondary meter
shall be removed and bench calibrated annually, staggered at six month
intervals. To further verify accuracy, EWA staff will compare the calculated
intluent and effluent flows from the secondary effluent meters, with the
calculated “influent by addition” flows from the four ADS Model 3600 meters
on the influent trunk lines as part of normal monthly central&d flow reporting
procedures (See Item 3 Below).
For the 10 central&d sites using the ADS’s proprietary gravity meters, field
calibrations of the centralized flow metering equipment shall be conducted
quarterly through a service contract with ADS Environmental Services or other
qualified vendor. As a minimum, the calibrations shall include depth of flow,
velocity, and total flow quantities. In addition, pipe and/or flume conditions
shall be analyzed and verified.
For the 6 remaining locations where central&d flow metering equipment
interfaces with member agency maintained meters, the member agency’s
meter(s) shall be calibrated annually by a qualified service technician.
Calibration shall consist of verifying that the analog signal from meter is
accurate to ensure that the interface with and flow data from the central&d
equipment is accurate. EWA statTwill fkther monitor the flows monthly and
report any abnormalities to the Member Agencies for their review and possible
action. Should bench calibration or replacement of the meter be warranted, the
affected Member Agency shall do so at its sole expense. Written certification
of the annual calibration shall be provided to the EWA by July 1 of each year
on a form prepared by EWA stafT
3. Monthly Flow Reports. The member agency, EWPCF, and Encina Ocean
Outfall flows shall be reported monthly to the EWA Board of Directors based
on the centralized flow metering system. Also reported shall be the EWPCF
in-plant meter readings as required.
4. Estimated Flow Values. In the event a meter is out of service for more than
three days in any calendar month and estimated values are substituted for the
missing data, the flow report shall indicate that the values presented are
estimated.
Page 3 Ref: 1848
5. Total EWPCF Influent and Effluent Flows. It is understood that the total
EWPCF intluent and effluent flow quantities shall be based on the flows
derived from subtracting in-plant flows (as appropriate) from the EWPCF
effluent meter readings.
EWPCF influent flows based on the addition of quantities from various influent
flow meters shall also be presented in the monthly flow report in order to
provide an indication of system balance and accuracy.
EWA’s Financial Plan and Revenue Program shall be based on influent flow
data for each member agency, as derived from the centralized flow metering
system.
6. EDU Reports. Member agencies shall provide information on connected and
committed EDUs. Information shall be submitted monthly on a form prepared
by EWA staff. EDU information shall be submitted by the 10th of each month.
Flow per EDU by member agency and by EWA service area shall be reported
monthly to the EWA Board of Directors based on the central&d flow
metering system. Total EWA service area EDUs also shall be reported
monthly to the EWA Board of Directors.
7. Revenue Sampling Program. EWA staff shall conduct Financial Plan and
Revenue Program sampling on a quarterly basis. Each agency’s mass emissions
shall be calculated based on measured biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and
total suspended solids (TSS) values and the EWA reported flows.
Within sixty days following the completion of the quarterly sampling, EWA
staff shall provide sampling results to the Technical Advisory Committee
(TAC). Results shall be provided on a form prepared by EWA staff and
approved by TAC.
8. Member Agencv Sampling Program. Each member agency operating a
reclamation plant shall test the plant effluent at least weekly for carbonaceous
BOD and TSS and shall provide the results of such testiig to EWA staffwithin
thirty days.
9. Review of Policv. On an as needed basis, this policy is to be reviewed by EWA
stat?’ and presented to the EWA Board of Directors with recommendations for
modification, if appropriate.

Each member agency shall own and enjoy a perpetual right to use its Joint System capacity in
the proportions set forth immediately below herein. No member agency shall in any way grant,
encumber, limit or restrict its interest in any part of the Joint System for any purpose other than the
treatment and disposal or reuse of wastewater and the management of wastewater treatment
byproducts, or use the Joint System or any part thereof to a greater percentage than its capacity rights,
except as set forth in Section 9 herein, without the prior written consent of the other member agencies,
provided that no such excessive use without written consent shall be construed as a waiver of capacity
rights by any member agency.
-3-
Section 7 CAPACITY MONITORING
- Each member agency shall participate in a joint flow metering system, operated and
administered by the Operator/Administrator, and facilitate such measurements of flow into the Joint
System as needed for billing purposes and to verify that each agency is within its capacity rights. This - metering system shall be maintained according to a separate agreement executed by the
Operator/Administrator and the member agencies.
- Section 8 ACQUISITION/SALE OF EXCESS CAPACITY
In the event that any member agency hereafter requires additional capacity in the Joint System - and capacity is available from another member agency, the capacity may be licensed, leased or
purchased as necessary. Such lease or purchase shall be on terms as are hereafter agreed upon by the
member agencies involved. In the event an inter-agency capacity agreement is adopted, the Joint
Advisory Committee shall be notified in writing. Licensing, lease or purchase shall be subject to the
terms and conditions established in Section 9 herein.
Section 9 CAPACITY RIGHTS IN UNITS
9.1Unit I and Unit J Capacity. Capacity rights shall be as follows:
unit I

ENCINITAS: 1.80 5.00 1.80 4.74 1.80 4.74
TOTAL 36.0 100.00 38.0 100.00 38.0 100.00
The total disposal capacity of Unit J shall be 38.0 MGD average daily flow. This capacity rating
assumes that the wet weather peaking factor on the flows to Unit J shall continue to be less than 2.76,
and all the parties hereto agree to make good faith efforts to ensure that the wet weather peaking factor
on the flows to Unit J remains below 2.76.
9.2Unit I Canacity Infringement. The member agencies agree to make available up to 5 percent
of their respective shares of total capacities, as set forth in Section 9.1 through a reserve capacity pool,
in accordance with the following terms and conditions:
a. Flow Calculation. For the purposes of calculating payments due for licensing under this
section, flows shall be based on measured (ADS) flows, to the maximum extent feasible. Solids
loading flows shall be based on the total flow originating within each member agency. Voting rights,
-4-
-
-
-
-
-
as described in Section 11 shall be in no way affected by temporary use of reserve capacity under this
section. Total Reserve Capacity is the total capacity shown in paragraph (g), below.
b. Monitoring of Capacity Demand. Each agency shall provide monthly reports to EWA
regarding future capacity committed, based upon its acceptance of applications for or issuance of any
building permits, letters of availability, certificates or other entitlements for use which represent that
sewer capacity is available to the applicant or project, or which enforceable or practically commit the
agency to provide future sewer service. Reports shall be submitted in such form as the Board of EWA
may require. Before the measured and committed flows reach 75% of Encina’s total capacity (per
Sections 9. l), the EWA shall initiate a program to ensure adequate capacity to meet projected needs.
c. Any use of capacity in excess .of 95 % of their respective share of Excess Use a Tresnass.
Encina’s total capacity (per Section 9.1) plus 50% of the Total Reserve Capacity, or otherwise in
violation of this section, shall be considered a trespass. At the request of any member agency, EWA
shall, and is hereby authorized to specifically enforce the terms of this section (Section 9.3) against a
member agency or agencies on behalf of the remaining member agencies, including through
commencement of a proceeding at law or equity. The parties agree that specific enforcement is a
proper remedy in that payment of damages is not an adequate remedy for the potential losses to any
member agency resulting from the loss of capacity. For example, replacement of capacity may be
impractical and the consequences for the economic development of the members are not readily
subject to quantification. Each member agency hereby consents to the commencement of such action
or actions by EWA, and waives any right it may have to further approval of such actions under the
joint powers agreement creating and establishing EWA. In addition to any injunctive relief, EWA may
seek consequential damages on behalf of the remaining member agencies. In any such action, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to attorney’s fees and costs.
d. Indemnity and Hold Harmless. In addition to payment of the amount specified herein, each
agency agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the EWA and the other member agencies for
any claim, demand, cost, penalty, fine or damage (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of
investigation), arising out of its violation of this section, whether resulting from the agency’s active or
passive, negligent or intentional act or failure to act to prevent a violation, and notwithstanding the
active or passive negligence of those member agencies which are in compliance with the provisions of
this section.
-
e. License Payments When any member agency’s flows exceed 100% of its capacity
allocation for the treatment of solids, and/or treatment and/or disposal of liquids, for any continuous
three-month period, such member agency shall pay for the use of such capacity from the reserve
capacity pool in accord with the schedule of values, as adjusted each July 1 (commencing in July 1996)
by updating the facility spreadsheet to include any additional and changed capital project costs, and to
reflect the current ENRLA construction cost index, as follows (see Exhibit Cl:
(1) Any portion of reserve up to 50% of Total Reserve Capacity:
$93,200 per MGD of Unit I liquid capacity per year
$155,800 per MGD of Unit I solids capacity per year
$44,000 per MGD of Unit J capacity per year
-5-
-
(2) The use of reserve amounts over 50% of Total Reserve Capacity shall be a violation of this
- section, In addition to any other remedy provided herein, or available to EWA or the member
agencies, an agency shall pay for such use:
-
$153,300 per MGD of Unit I liquid capacity per year
$259,700 per MGD of Unit I solids capacity per year
$73,300 per MGD of Unit J capacity per year
-
Payments to member agencies with unused reserve shall be made annually. Payments from member
agencies shall be made quarterly to the EWA and held in a special account.
f. Restrictions on Use Over 40% of Reserve. If at any time any agency shall have
enforceable or practically committed to provide future sewer service which, when added to its then
existing actual flows, equals 95 % of its allocated capacity (per Section 9.1) plus 40% of the Total
Reserve Capacity, such agency shall:
1. Immediately halt the acceptance or issuance of any building permits, letters of availability,
certificates or other entitlements for use which represent that sewer capacity is the agency to provide
future sewer service.
2. Immediately inform EWA, in writing, that it has reached this threshold, of the actions it has
taken to implement (e) (1) above, and of its intention to present a plan to EWA, within 30 days, for
capacity management to prevent the agency from exceeding use of 50% of the Total Reserve Capacity.
g. herve Capacity. Reserve capacity shall be as follows:

except pursuant to this section without the unanimous consent of the member agencies; provided that
an agency may agree to provide additional capacity on a temporary basis to an agency which has used
the maximum reserve capacity authorized by this section if: (1) such arrangement provides for
-6-
payments at rates not less that the maximum reserve capacity rate per paragraph (e)(2), above; and
(2) the capacity so provided does not reduce the Total Reserve Capacity available.
Section 10 CAPACITY RIGHTS FOR RECLAMATION
-
-

-
lO.lFuture Reclamation. Any member agency, at its own expense, may, and shall have the
right to, reclaim water from any wastewater in the Joint System which emanates within the jurisdiction
of the respective member agency. And, subject to the following limitations, each member agency shall
have the right to install facilities for the reclamation of water from wastewater. Any proposed
reclamation shall require the approval of all the member agencies in the event that the proposed
reclamation facility is designed and/or constructed such that (i) any solids or non-treated effluent from
any such facility may be discharged into Unit I of the Joint System and/or (ii) any reclaimed water may
be discharged into Unit J of the Joint System. Such approval shall not be withheld unless the use of
the proposed reclamation facility would adversely affect one or more of the member agencies and the
reclaimer cannot reasonably mitigate the adverse impact. Nothing in this section shall be construed so
as to require approval by the member agencies as to the geographic location of a reclamation facility
constructed solely within the boundaries of any member agency.
10.2 &&sting Reclamation. Section 10.1 above pertains to all future reclamation facilities.
Currently constructed facilities may be operated to their capacity without further action by owners.

EXHIBIT B PHASE IV COST ALLOCATION
- 1. Phase IV cost shall be allocated as follows:
a.All costs shall be allocated by unit process and among flow, BOD, ‘and suspended solids in the manner
recommended for revenue programs by the State Water Resources Control Board. -
-
-
-
-
b.The replacement value of the existing Unit I and Unit J facilities at the mid-point of construction (projected
ENRLA of 6465) shall be determined. In determining replacement value. grant funding shall be included except for the
grant funding used to pay for the “oversized” portion of “oversized” items (i.e., items sized or undertaken for the ultimate
site capacity, such as site grading and paving, piping, etc.).
c.Dollar ownership of the existing facilities shall be determined by multiplying existing ownership percentages times
the replacement values determined in step b.
d.The cost of the proposed Phase IV facilities at the midpoint of construction (projected ENRLA of 6465) shall be
estimated by the design engineer.
e.The total value of the EWPCF following construction of Phase IV shall be estimated by adding the replacement
value of the existing facilities (determined in step b) to the estimated cost of the Phase IV project (determined in step d).
f.Needed dollar ownership of the EWPCF following construction of Phase IV shall be determined by multiplying
the revised Unit I liquid and solids and Unit J ownership’s (determined in Exhibit A of the Thirty-Ninth Supplement) by the
total value of the EWPCF following construction of Phase IV (determined in step.e).
g.Phase IV cost allocations shall be calculated by subtracting existing dollar ownership’s (determined in step c)
from needed dollar ownership’s following construction of Phase IV (determined in step f). Credits and buyins for existing
facilities are automatically included in this calculation and need not be calculated separately; however, the dollar values of
each are included below for background.
Estimated Phase IV cost allocations in dollars and percent of total are as follows:

EXHIBIT C
LICENSE PAYMENTS
SCHEDULE OF VALUES
(1) Any portion of reserve up to 50% of Total Reserve Capacity:
The license payment shall be 8% of the current replacement value of the facilities, without grants
deducted, adjusted each July 1 (commencing in July 1996) by updating the asset allocation spreadsheet
to include any additional and changed capital project costs, and to reflect the current ENRLA
construction cost index. Unit I and J license payments shall be based on a flow rate of 38 MGD. Unit
I liquid license payments shall be proportioned based on the percentage of the Flow value of the total
replacement value. Unit I solids license payments shall be proportioned based on the percentage of the
sum of the BOD and SS replacement values, as compared to the total replacement value.
1996 - Example calculations:
Unit I - Total replacement value of Unit I (treatment facilities) without grant deducted, July 1996 at
ENRLA of 6522= $118,310,000, Flow value = $44,272,000, BOD value = $43,882,000, SS
value = 30,157,OOO. Utilizing an interest rate of 8% yields a license payment of $249,000 per
MGD ($118,310,000 times .08 divided by 38 MGD).
Split between liquid and solids payments:
- liquid portion = $249,000 times 44,272,000/118,310,000 = $93,200
solid portion = $249,000 times (43,882.OOO + 30,157,000)/118,310,000
= $155,800
Unit J total replacement value = $20,881,000.
$20,881,000 times .08 divided by 38 MGD = $44,000
July 1, 1996 license payments
$93,200 per MGD of Unit I liquid capacity per year
$155,800 per MGD of Unit I solids capacity per year
$44,000 per MGD of Unit J capacity per year
(2) The use of reserve amounts over 50% of Total Reserve Capacity:
- License payments shall be increased by 2/3.
July 1, 1996 license payments
-
$153,300
$259,700
$73,300

The total disposal capacity of Unit J shall be 38.0 MGD average daily flow. This capacity rating
assumes that the wet weather peaking factor on the flows to Unit J shall continue to be less than 2.76,
and all the parties hereto agree to make good faith efforts to ensure that the wet weather peaking factor
on the flows to Unit J remains below 2.76.
92Unit I_Caoacitv The member agencies agree to make available up to 5 percent
of their respective shares of total capacities, as set forth in Section 9.1 through a reserve capacity pool,
in accordance with the following terms and conditions:
a. Flow Ca. For the purposes of calculating payments due for licensing under this
section, flows shall be based on measured (ADS) flows, to the maximum extent feasible. Solids
loading flows shall be based on the total flow originating within each member agency. Voting rights,
-4- !- 4 , I
as described in Section 11 shall be in no way affected by temporxy use ot’ rcservc capacity under this
section. Total Reserve Capacity is the total capacity shown in paragraph (go. below.
b. &XI&K& of Cm Demand. Each agency shall provide monthly reports to EWA
regarding future capacity committed. based upon its acceptance of applications for or issuance of any
building permits, letters of availability, certificates or other entitlements for use which represent that
sewer capacity is available to the applicant or project. or which enforceable or practically commit the
agency to provide future sewer service. Reports shall be submitted in such form as the Board of EWA
may require. Before the measured and committed flows reach 75% of Encina’s total capacity (per
Sections 9.1). the EWA shall initiate a drogram to ensure adequate capacitjl to meet projected needs.
c. Excess a Trw. Any use of capacity in excess of 95% of their respective share of
Encina’s total capacity (per Section 9.1) plus 50% of the Total Reserve Capacity, or otherwise in
violation of this section, shall be considered a trespass. At the request of any member agency, EWA
shall, and is hereby authorized to specifically enforce the terms of this section (Section 9.3) against a
member agency or agencies on behalf of the remaining member agencies, including through
commencement of a proceeding at law or equity. The parties agree that specific enforcement is a
proper remedy in that payment of damages is not an adequate remedy for the potential losses to any
member agency resulting from the loss of capacity. For example. replacement of capacity may be.
impractical and the consequences for the economic development of the members are not readily
subject to quantification. Each member agency hereby consents to the commencement of such action
or actions by EWA, and waives any right it may have to further approval of such actions under the
joint powers agreement creating and establishing EWA. In addition to any injunctive relief, EWA may
seek consequential damages on behalf of the remaining member agencies. In any such action, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to attorney’s fees and costs.

agency agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the EWA and the other member agencies for
any claim, demand, cost, penalty, fine or damage (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of
investigation). arising out of its violation of this section, whether resulting from the agency’s active or
passive, negligent or intentional act or failure to act to prevent a violation. and notwithstanding the
active or passive negligence of those member agencieg which are in compliance with the provisions of
this section.
e. &nse Pavm When any member agency’s flows exceed 100% of its capacity
allocation for the treatment of solids, and/or treatment and/or disposal of liquids, for any continllous
three-month period, such member agency shall pay for the use of such capacity from the reserve
capacity pool in accord with the schedule of values, as adjusted each July 1 (commencing in July 1996)
by updating the facility spreadsheet to include any additional and changed capital project costs, and to
reflect the current ENRLA construction cost index, as follows (see Exhibit Cl:
(1) Any portion of reserve up to 50% of Total Reserve Capacity:
$93,200 per MGD of Unit I liquid capacity per year
$155,800 per MGD of Unit I solids capacity per year
$44,000 per MGD of Unit J capacity per year

9153,300 per MGD of Unit I liquid capacity per \.ear
$259,700 per MGD of Unit I solids capacity per !.ear
$73,300 per MGD of Unit J capacity per year
Payments to member agencies with unused reserve shall be made annually. Payments from member
agencies shall be made quarterly to the EWA and held in a special account.
f. Don VC. If at any time any agency shall have
enforceable or practically committed to provide future sewer semice which, when added to its then
existing actual flows, equals 95% of its allocated capacity (per Section 9.1) plus 40% of the Total
Reserve Capacity, such agency shall:
1. Immediately halt the acceptance or issuance of any building permits, letters of availability,
certificates or other entitlements for use which represent that seiver capacity is the agency to provide
future sewer service.
2. Immediately inform EWA, in writing, that it has reached this threshold, of the actions it has
taken to implement (e) (1) above, and of its intention to present a plan to EWA, within 30 days, for
capacity management to prevent the agency from exceeding use of 50% of the Total Reserve Capacity.

byproducts, or use the Joint System or any part thereof to a greater percentage than its capacity
rights, except as set forth in Section 9 herein, without the prior written consent of the other member
agencies, provided that no such excessive use without written consent shall be construed as a
waiver of capacity rights by any member agency.
-3-
Section 7 CAPACITY MONmORING
.
Each member agency shall participate in a joint flow metering system, operated and
administered by the Operator/Administrator, and facilitate such measurements of flow into the Joint
System as needed for billing purposes and to verify that each agency is within its capacity rights.
This metering system shall be maintained according to a separate agreement executed by the
Operator/Administrator and the member agencies.
Section 8 ACQUISITION/SALE OF EXCESS CAPACrrY
In the event that any member agency hereafter requires additional capacity in the Joint
System and capacity is available from another member agency, the capacity may be licensed, leased
or purchased as necessary. Such lease or purchase shall be on terms as are hereafter agreed upon
by the member agencies involved. In the event an inter-agency capacity agreement is adopted, the
Joint Advisory Committee shall be notified in writing. Licensing, lease or purchase shall be subject
to the terms and conditions established in Section 9 herein.
Section 9 CAPACrrY RIGHTS IN UNnS
9.1 Unit I and Unit J Cawcitv. Capacity rights shall be as follows:
Unit I Liquid Unit 3 Solids Disposal
MGD -- O/Q MGD -- O/o MGD -- O/Q
' VISTA: 8.05 22.36 8.05 21.18 8.05 21.18
CARLSBAD: 9.24 25.67 9.24 24.32 9.24 24.32
BUENA: 2.26 6.28 3.51 9.24 3.51 9.24
VALLECITOS: 7.54 20.94 7.54 19.84 7.54 19.84
LEUCADIA: 7.11 19.75 7.86 20.68 7.86 20.68
ENQNITAS: 1.80 5.00 1.80 4.74 1.80 4.74
TOTAL 36.0 100.00 38.0 100.00 38.0 100.00
The total disposal capacity of Unit J shall be 38.0 MGD average daily flow. This capacity rating
assumes that the wet weather peaking factor on the flows to Unit J shall continue to be less than
2.76, and all the parties hereto agree to make good faith efforts to ensure that the wet weather
peaking factor on the flows to Unit J remains below 2.76.
9.2 Unit I Caoacity Inftinoement. The member agencies agree to make available up to 5
percent of their respective shares of total capacities, as set forth in Section 9.1 through a reserve
capacity pool, in accordance with the following terms and conditions:
9.2.1. Flow Calculation. For the purposes of calculating payments due for
licensing under this section, flows shall be based on measured (ADS) flows, to the maximum extent
feasible. Solids loading flows shall be based on the total flow originating within each member
agency. Voting rights, as described in Section 11 shall be in no way affected by temporary use of
reserve capacity under this section. Total Reserve Capacity is the total capacity shown in paragraph
9.2.7. below.
-4-
9.2.2. Monitorina of Capacity Demand. Each agency shall provide monthly
reports to EWA regarding future capacity committed, based upon its acceptance of applications for
or issuance of any building permits, letters of availability, certificates or other entitlements for use
which represent that sewer capacity is available to the applicant or project, or which enforceable or
practically commit the agency to provide future sewer service. Reports shall be submitted in such
form as the Board of EWA may require. Before the measured and committed flows reach 75% of . . Encina’s total capacity (per Sections 9,1), the EWA shall initiate a program to ensure adequate
capacity to meet projected needs.
9.2.3. Excess Use a Treswss. Any use of capacity in excess of 95% of their
respective share of Encina’s total capacity (per Section 9.1) plus 50% of the Total Reserve Capacity,
or otherwise in violation of this section, shall be considered a trespass. At the request of any
member agency, EWA shall, and is hereby authorized to specifically enforce the terms of this section
(Section 9.3) against a member agency or agencies on behalf of the remaining member agencies,
including through commencement of a proceeding at law or equity. The parties agree that specific
enforcement is a proper remedy in that payment of damages is not an adequate remedy for the
potential losses to any member agency resulting from the loss of capacity. For example,
replacement of capacity may be impractical and the consequences for the economic development of
the members are not readily subject to quantification. Each member agency hereby consents to
the commencement of such action or actions by EWA, and waives any tight it may have to further
approval of such actions under the joint powers agreement creating and establishing EWA. In
addition to any injunctive relief, EWA may seek consequential damages on behalf of the remaining
member agencies. In any such action, the prevailing party shall be entitled to attorney’s fees and
costs.
9.2.4. Indemnitv and Hold Harmless. In addition to payment of the amount
specified herein, each agency agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the EWA and the other
member agencies for any claim, demand, cost, penalty, fine or damage (including reasonable
attorney’s fees and costs of investigation), arising out of its violation of this section, whether
resulting from the agency’s active or passive, negligent or intentional act or failure to act to prevent
a violation, and notwithstanding the active or passive negligence of those member agencies which
are in compliance with the provisions of this section.
9.2.5. License Pavments. When any member agency’s flows exceed 100% of
its capacity allocation for the treatment of solids, and/or treatment and/or disposal of liquids, for any
continuous three-month period, such member agency shall pay for the use of such capacity from
the reserve capacity pool in accord with the schedule of values, as adjusted each July 1
(commencing in July 1996) by updating the facility spreadsheet to include any additional and
changed capital project costs, and to reflect the current ENRlA construction cost index, as follows
(see Exhibit CJ:
(a) Any portion of reserve up to 50% of Total Reserve Capacity:
$93,200 per MGD of Unit I liquid capacity per year
$155,800 per MGD of Unit I solids capacity per year
$44,000 per MGD of Unit J capacity per year
-5-
(b) The use of reserve amounts over 50% of Total Reserve Capacity
shall be a violation of this section. In addition to any other remedy provided herein, or
available to EWA or the member agencies, an agency shall pay for such use:
$153,300 per MGD of Unit I liquid capacity per year
$259,700 per MGD of Unit I solids capacity per year
$73,300 per MGD of Unit 3 capacity per year
(c) Payments to member agencies with unused reserve shall be
made annually. Payments from member agencies shall be made quarterly to the EWA and held in a
special account.
9.2.6. Resbictions on Use Over 40% of Reserve. If at any time any agency
shall have enforceable or practically committed to provide future sewer service which, when added
to its then existing actual flows, equals 95% of its allocated capacity (per Section 9.1) plus 40% of
the Total Reserve Capacity, such agency shall:
(a) Immediately halt the acceptance or issuance of any building
permits, letters of availability, certificates or other entitlements for use which represent that sewer
capacity is the agency to provide future sewer service.
(b) Immediately inform EWA, in writing, that it has reached this
threshold, of the actions it has taken to implement 9.2.5(a) above, and of its intention to present a
plan to EWA, within 30 days, for capacity management to prevent the agency from exceeding use of
50% of the Total Reserve Capacity.
9.2.7. Reserve Capacity. Reserve capacity shall be as follows:
Unit I Liquid
MGD -- %
Solids
MGD -- %

EXHIBIT B PHASE IV COST ALLOCATION
1. Phase IV cost shall be allocated as follows:
a. All costs shall be allocated by unit process and among flow, BOD, and suspended solids in the
manner recommended for revenue programs by the State Water Resources Control Board.
i b. The replacement value of the existing Unit I and Unit J facilities at the mid-point of construction
(projected ENRLA of 6465) shall be determined. In determining replacement value, grant funding shall be
included except for the grant funding used to pay for the “oversized” portion of “oversized” items (i.e., items
sized or undertaken for the ultimate site capacity, such as site grading and paving, piping, etc.).
c. Dollar ownership of the existing facilities shall be determined by multiplying existing ownership
percentages times the replacement values determined in step b.
d. The cost of the proposed Phase IV facilities at the midpoint of construction (projected ENRlA of
6465) shall be estimated by the design engineer.
e. The total value of the EWPCF following construction of Phase IV shall be estimated by adding the
replacement value of the existing facilities (determined in step b) to the estimated cost of the Phase IV project
(determined in step d).
f. Needed dollar ownership of the EWPCF following construction of Phase IV shall be determined by
multiplying the revised Unit I liquid and solids and Unit 3 ownership’s (determined in Exhibit A of the
Thirty-Ninth Supplement) by the total value of the EWPCF following construction of Phase IV (determined in
step e).
g. Phase IV cost allocations shall be calculated by subtracting existing dollar ownership’s (determined
in step c) from needed dollar ownership’s following construction of Phase IV (determined in step f). Credits
and buyins for existing facilities are automatically included in this calculation and need not be calculated
separately; however, the dollar values of each are included below for background.
Estimated Phase IV cost allocations in dollars and percent of total are as follows:

Final Phase IV cost allocations will be determined following completion of Phase IV construction and will
use the actual project costs spread according to the final engineers estimate instead of the current
engineer’s estimate in steps d through g above. Actual ENRLA at mid-point of construction will be
substituted for the projected value in step b.

EXHIBIT C
LICENSE PAYMENTS
SCHEDULE OF VALUES
(1) Any portion of reserve up to 50% of Total Reserve Capacity:
. The license payment shall be 8% of the current replacement value of the facilities, without grants
deducted, adjusted each July 1 (commencing in July 1996) by updating the asset allocation spreadsheet
to include any additional and changed capital project costs, and to reflect the current ENRlA construction
cost index. Unit I and 3 license payments shall be based on a flow rate of 38 MGD. Unit I liquid license
payments shall be proportioned based on the percentage of the Flow value of the total replacement
value. Unit I solids license payments shall be proportioned based on the percentage of the sum of the
BOD and SS replacement values, as compared to the total replacement value.
(1) 1996 - Example calculations:
Unit I - Total replacement value of Unit I (treatment facilities) without grant
deducted, July 1996 at ENRlA of 6522= $118,310,000, Flow value =
$44,272,000, BOD value = $43,882,000, SS value = 30,157,OOO. Utilizing an
interest rate of 8% yields a license payment of $249,000 per MGD
($118,310,000 times .08 divided by 38 MGD).
Split between liquid and solids payments:
liquid portion
solid portion
= $249,000 times 44,272,000/118,310,000 = $93,200
= $249,000 times (43,882,OOO + 30,157,000)/118,310,000
= $155,800
Unit J total replacement value = $20,881,000.
$20,881,000 times .08 divided by 38 MGD = $44,000

TITLE:
AMENDMENT OF THE REVlSED BASIC AGREEMENT FOR
THE ENCINA WASTEWATER AUTHORITY REGARDING
MEETINGS OF THE JOINT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
CITYATTY. ’
CITY MGR.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt City Resolution No. doa% approving an amendment of the Revised Basic
Agreement for the Encina Wastewater Authority regarding meetings of the Joint Advisory
Committee.
On July 28, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Encina Wastewater Authority (EWA) and
the Joint Advisory Committee recommended to the Member Agencies a modification of
the Revised Basic Agreement to allow the Joint Advisory Committee (JAC) to hold its
meetings at least once per year, rather than at least once per month. The amendment
does not preclude additional meetings as frequently as may be necessary, but is
consistent with the EWA Board of Directors intent to eliminate the requirement that the
JAC meet monthly.
The amended Revised Basic Agreement supersedes all prior versions of the Revised
Basic Agreement. A similar provision will be included in all future Revised Basic
Agreement Amendments.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Some cost savings associated with the elimination of redundant JAC meeting agendas.
There is no other fiscal impact as a result of this action.
EXHIBITS:
1. City Resolution No.aO@ %approving an amendment of the Revised Basic Agreement
for the Encina Wastewater Authority regarding meetings of the Joint Advisory
Committee.
2. Document titled, “Amendment To Revised Basic Agreement To Reduce Required
Number of Joint Advisory Committee Meetings.”
