Findings— Declaration of Intent. The Board of Directors of District has previously adopted Master Plans, as more particularly described in Findings B, C, D, and E below, setting forth the financial and engineering needs of the District, and hereby adopts the following Findings supporting the amounts of charges and fees adopted pursuant to this Ordinance. WS&S—TLW:pi:#151421:OW07102:Rev.3-CLEAN 3 A. That the former County Sanitation Districts Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 11, 13 and 14 of Orange County, California (the "Predecessor Districts"),were nine individual County Sanitation Districts, organized pursuant to the County Sanitation District Act (California Health & Safety Code Section 4700 at seq.). By action of the Board of Directors of the Predecessor Districts, pursuant to specific legislation enacted by the California State Legislature in 1996, an application was submitted to the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission to legally consolidate the nine Predecessor Districts into one single Sanitation District for all purposes. The application was approved, with an effective date of July 1, 1998. As of July 1, 1998, the Predecessor Districts ceased to exist, and one single consolidated County Sanitation District, known as the Orange County Sanitation District, came into existence in place of the Predecessor Districts. The District was formed to carry on the functions of the Predecessor Districts. B. That a comprehensive 30-year Master Plan of Capital Facilities, entitled "Collection, Treatment and Disposal Facilities Master Plan— 1989", hereinafter referred to as the "Master Plan", which includes detailed financial and engineering reports, was prepared, approved, and adopted by the Boards of Directors of the Predecessor Districts in 1989, setting forth and identifying the required future development of District Facilities, including the financial projections for providing sewer service to all properties within the individual service areas of each of the nine Predecessor Districts. C. That the financial and engineering reports of the Master Plan were made available to the public, both prior to and subsequent to the adoption of the Master Plan, and were subject to noticed public hearings, all in accordance with the provisions of California Government Code Section 66016, and other provisions of law. D. That the Predecessor Districts, during the years 1997 and 1998, commenced comprehensive planning, engineering, and financial studies to develop an updated Comprehensive Master Plan of Capital Facilities, which studies are referred to as the District's "Strategic Plan", which was approved and adopted by the Resolution No. 99-21 of Board of Directors on October 27, 1999. E. That the District, in 1997, as part of its Strategic Plan studies, undertook a comprehensive evaluation and study of its operational and financial needs for the next 20 years, including a detailed assessment of all types and categories of users; the demands on the system and capacity needs of the system to provide necessary service to the multiple categories of users; the total costs of the existing and future facilities in the system; and alternate methodologies for establishing fair and equitable charges to connect to and gain access to the system. F. That the financial requirements of the District, as shown in reports prepared by Staff and Consultants relating to the Strategic Plan, are based on current, reliable information and data relating to population projections, WS&S—TLW:pj:#151421:05f07/02:Rev.3-CLEAN 4 wastewater flow, and capital facilities' needs, and are expected to be realized in each year as described in the reports. G. That the revenues derived under the provisions of this Ordinance will be used for the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, maintenance, and operation of the sewage collection, wastewater treatment and disposal facilities of the District; to repay principal and interest on debt instruments; to repay federal and state loans issued for the construction and reconstruction of said sewerage facilities, together with costs of administration and provisions for necessary reserves; and to assist in the payment of costs to the District to provide all regulatory administration and laboratory services related to the industrial dischargers, source control permittees, and wastehauler users of the District's systems. H. That the owners or occupants of properties upon which all fees and charges established by this Ordinance are levied, discharge wastewater to the District's collection, treatment and disposal facilities. The costs of operating and maintaining said facilities have constantly increased due in part to increased regulatory requirements to upgrade the treatment process. I. That the need for upgraded and improved treatment of all wastewater collection, treatment and disposal facilities is required to protect the public health and safety, and to preserve the environment without damage. J. That the Sanitary Sewer Service Charges established and levied by this Ordinance are to allow the District to recover the reasonable costs to provide a service to individual parcels of real property which have been improved for any of numerous types of uses. The basis for the respective charge is the request of the owner of a parcel, for the benefit of him/her/itself, or the occupants of the property, to receive a service based upon actual use, consumption, and disposal of water to the District's system in lieu of disposal by other means. K. That the Sanitary Sewer Service Charges established by this Ordinance are not imposed as a condition of approval of a development project, as defined in California Government Code Section 66001, and do not exceed the estimated reasonable cost to provide the sewer service for which the fee is levied, as provided in Government Code Sections 66013 and 66016 and California Constitution Article XIIID. L. That the Sanitary Sewer Service Charges adopted herein will not necessarily result in an expansion of facilities to provide for growth outside the existing service area. The adoption of these Sanitary Sewer Service Charges will not result in any specific project, nor result in a direct physical change in the environment. WS&S—TLW:pj:#151421:0&07102:Rev.3-CLEAN 5 M. That the Sanitary Sewer Service Charges adopted herein are established upon a rational basis between the fees charged each customer and the service and facilities provided to each new customer to the District, a portion of which are necessary to replace the loss of ad valorem property taxes to the State General Fund as a result of state legislative action on September 2, 1992, and in subsequent years. N. That the Board of Directors has previously, by duly adopted Ordinances, commencing in 1969, and most recently by Ordinance No. OCSD-15, established Capital Facilities Connection Charges, formerly known commonly as 'connection charges" or"fees", to be paid by all persons obtaining a permit to connect to the District's system. Said Charges are required as a financial payment to have access to and use of the District's wastewater collection, treatment and disposal facilities in existence at the time of connecting to the system, and for future facilities to be constructed. 0. That the District's previous and present Capital Facilities Connection Charges Ordinances, include[d] authority for the District to levy an excess or supplemental rapacity charge upon commercial and industrial users who discharge quantities or high strength wastewater greater than the established base line of authorized discharge. P. That the Capital Facilities Connection Charges re-enacted by this Ordinance are non-discriminatory, as applied to all users of the system, and are established upon a rational basis between the fees charged each category of property that is connecting, and the service and facilities provided to each connected property by the District within a given category. Q. That the miscellaneous charges and fees re-enacted by this Ordinance are established upon a rational basis between the fees charged to each industrial discharger, source control permittee, or wastehauler and the service and facilities provided to each. R. That the District is required by federal and state law, including the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1251, at seq.), the General Pretreatment Regulations (40 C.F.R. 403), and the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act (California Water Code Sections 13000 at seq.)to implement and enforce a program for the regulation of wastewater discharges to the District's sewers. S. That the District is required by federal, state and local law, to meet applicable standards of treatment plant effluent quality. T. That pursuant to these requirements, the Board of Directors has adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-01, as amended, Establishing Wastewater Discharge Regulations. WSBS-TLW:pjiN51421:05/07/02:Rev.3-CLEAN 6 U. That the District incurs additional costs in conducting non- compliance sampling of those industrial wastewater dischargers who violate the District's Wastewater Discharge Regulations and in administering the industrial, wastehauler, and special discharge permit programs. V. That Ordinance No OCSD-01, as amended, Establishing Wastewater Discharge Regulations, provides that the Board of Directors is to establish various fees and charges to recover those costs to the District which are made necessary by industrial dischargers and wastehaulers who violate the District's Wastewater Discharge Regulations. W. That the industrial discharger, source control, and wastehauler fees and charges hereby established by this Ordinance do not exceed the estimated reasonable costs to the District of industrial discharger, source control, or wastehauler use of the District's facilities and for the administration and implementation of permit and fee processing, non-compliance sampling, and related services associated with the District's Source Control Program. X. That all fees and charges established herein have been approved by the District's Board of Directors at a public meeting, all in accordance with applicable provisions of law. Y. That the adoption of this Ordinance is statutorily exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to the provisions of Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8)and California Code of Regulations Section 15273(a). Z. That each of the Findings set forth in previous Ordinances Nos. OCSD-05, OCSD-06, OCSDA1, OCSDA3, and OCSCD-15 are reaffirmed and readopted hereat, except to the extent that they have been specifically superseded or otherwise amended by specific Findings herein. ARTICLE II SANITARY SEWER SERVICE CHARGES Section 2.01. Purpose and Scope. The purpose of this Ordinance is to establish Sanitary Sewer Service Charges required to be paid by property owners for the services and facilities furnished by the District in connection with its sanitation treatment works and sewage collection system. Revenues derived under the provisions of this Ordinance shall be used for the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, maintenance, and operation of the wastewater collection, treatment and disposal facilities of the District; to repay principal and interest on debt instruments; or to repay federal and state loans issued for the construction and WS&S-TLW:p7:#151421:05/07/02:Rev.3-CLEAN 7 reconstruction of said sewerage facilities, together with costs of administration and provisions for necessary reserves. Section 2.02. Annual Sanitary Sewer Service Charge. Commencing with the effective date of this Ordinance, the owner of each parcel of real property located within the District which is improved with structures designed for residential, commercial, or industrial use and which, at the request of the owner or the owner's predecessor-in-interest, is connected to the District's system, shall pay an annual Sanitary Sewer Service Charge based on the respective class of users, in the sum or sums, as set forth in Tables A and B of this Ordinance, both attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The annual Sanitary Sewer Service Charges for residential users are set forth in Table A. The annual Sanitary Sewer Service Charges for commercial or industrial users are dependent upon the respective classifications of property use, determined by reference to Table B; the applicable percentage figure shown on Table B with respect to the particular use classification is multiplied by the applicable single family residential rate shown in Table A, to arrive at the annual Sanitary Sewer Service Charge rate per 1,000 square feet for the commercial or industrial user. Table A establishes separate rates with respect to each of the nine Revenue Areas, with the exception of Revenue Area No. 14, as to which costs are paid by the Irvine Ranch Water District. Section 2.03. A. Exemptions. It is the intent of the District that the legal owner(s) of parcels of real property, otherwise subject to the levy and payment of the Sanitary Sewer Service Charges, as prescribed herein, be relieved, in whole or in part, from the payment of said charges, in certain circumstances and under conditions prescribed herein, and be entitled to either a rebate or a refund with respect to charges paid, as more specifically set forth in Subparagraphs 2.0313 and 2.03C below, provided an inequity is established or a billing error is proven, as specified in Subparagraphs B or C. B. Application for Rebate. Any property owner may apply to the District for a rebate of Sanitary Sewer Service Charges paid to the District by establishing that an unfair valuation of the property has been made by the District. An applicant for a rebate must establish, by proof satisfactory to the General Manager of the District, or his designee, that an inequity exists between the amount of the charge paid and the amount of wastewater discharged to the District's system, resulting in an unfair valuation. Satisfactory proof shall establish that either: (1) The principal water use is agricultural or horticultural; or (2) The property is devoted to any other use wherein the amount of wastewater discharged to the District's system is significantly less on a regular basis than the amount that would normally be expected to be discharged by the class of property in question. WS85-TLW:p1:1<151421:05107/02:Rw.3-CLEAN 8 Satisfactory proof shall include, but not be limited to, documentation showing actual water usage for each billing cycle during the entire period for which the rebate is sought. The amount of any rebate shall not reduce the charge payable by any property owner, whose property is connected to the District's system, to less than the single family residential charge shown on the applicable Table attached hereto. C. Application for Refund. Any property owner may apply to the District for a refund of Sanitary Sewer Service Charges paid to the District by establishing that the amount paid was pursuant to an error in the amount billed or the amount paid. The applicant for a refund must submit proof satisfactory to the General Manager of the District, or his designee, that a billing error has been made by the District, or the County Tax Collector. Such proof shall include, but not be limited to, proof that: (1) The owner's parcel of property is not connected to the District's system; or (2) The property has not been classified in the proper land use category; or (3) A clerical error has been made. D. Limitations Period. Applications for rebates and refunds shall be deemed to be governed by the provisions of California Revenue &Taxation Code Sections 5096 and 5097, allowing for refunds for a period of four(4) years from the date of payment of the second installment of the bill claimed to be either inequitable or incorrect. E. Determination. All applications for rebates or refunds of the Sanitary Sewer Service Charge will be determined by the General Manager of the District, or his designee, who, based on the submitted proof, may grant a full or partial rebate or refund. F. Administrative Fee. At the time of filing the application for rebate or refund, the property owner shall pay District an administrative fee for the processing of such application. The amount of the fee shall be equal to the total of all fees and charges imposed on the District by any other public entity, such as the Orange County Tax Collector, the Orange County Auditor, or the Orange County Recorder, in connection with the rebate or refund. Section 2.04. Annual Charge Based on Fiscal Year. The Sanitary Sewer Service Charges established by this Ordinance shall be effective as of July 1 of each year, as set forth in Tables A and B, attached hereto, for the District's fiscal year, and shall remain in effect until such time as the rates adopted herein are WS&S-TLW:pj:#151421:05/07/02:Rev.3-CLEAN 9 changed by District Ordinance. There shall be no proration of such charges in any fiscal year. Section 2.05. Method of Collection. A.

The County Tax Collector is authorized and hereby ordered to make said collections in accordance with the terms and conditions of agreements between the County of Orange and the District. B. In the event District determines that, due to billing or payment error, or to inequity in the amount billed, a property owner has underpaid annual Sanitary Sewer Service Charges payable to District, District, within four(4)years after the date of mailing of the tax bill, may: (1) collect the amount of any deficiency directly on the County Tax Roll; (2) off-set the amount of any deficiency against any amounts that District determines is owing, by District, to the property owner, as a rebate or refund under this Ordinance; or (3) submit, directly to the property owner, a bill for the amount of any deficiency, which shall be due and payable within thirty (30)days of the invoice date and which, if not paid, shall become a lien on said property. Section 2.06. Credit for Industrial Permittees. A credit shall be allowed to all dischargers permitted pursuant to Article 3 of District Ordinance No. OCSD-01, as amended, in an amount equal to the annual Sanitary Sewer Service Charge established by Section 2.02 of this Ordinance, in the same manner as credit is allowed for ad valorem taxes pursuant to Sections 302.6(B), and 303.6(B)of District Ordinance No. OCSD-01, as amended. wsss-nw:pj:#187421:a5/o7ro2:Rev.3-CLEAN 10 TABLE A ANNUAL SEWER SERVICE CHARGES FOR RESIDENTIAL USERS Single Family Residential Rates 2002-03 Adopted SFR Consolidated Revenue Areas $87.50 Revenue Area No. 7 $87.50 Revenue Area No. 14 All Revenue Area No. 14 Costs Are Paid Directly by the Irvine Ranch Water District Multi-Family Residential Rates Per Unit 2002-03 Adopted MFR Consolidated Revenue Areas $61.25 Revenue Area No. 7 $61.25 Revenue Area No. 14 All Revenue Area No. 14 Costs Are Paid Directly by the Irvine Ranch Water District WS&S-TLW:pj:#151421:05107/02:Rev.3-CLEAN 11 TABLE B ANNUAL SEWER SERVICE CHARGES PROPERTY USE CLASSIFICATIONS FOR COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL USERS Percentage of SFR Assessor Use Code Description Per 1.000 SF or Unit 1 Vacant Land Parcel 0% 5 Common Area Parcel 0% 6 "Hold" Parcel 0% 8 Equivalent to Vacant 0% 121 Parcel of Minimal or No Value 0% 122 Subsurface Parcels 0% 124 Oil/Mineral Rights 0% 125 Mineral Rights Equipment 0% 126 Vacant Comm.

WSBS-TLW:pj:#151421:05/07/02:Rev.3-CLEAN 14 ARTICLE III CAPITAL FACILITIES CONNECTION CHARGES Section 3.01. Purpose and Scope. The purpose of this Ordinance is to impose Capital Facilities Capacity Charges when properties, either newly-connect to the District's system, or expand the use of the property previously connected to the District. Revenues derived under the provisions of this Ordinance will be used for the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, maintenance, and operation of the wastewater collection, treatment and disposal facilities of the District; to repay principal and interest on debt instruments; or to repay federal or state loans for the construction and reconstruction of said sewerage facilities, together with Costs of administration and provisions for necessary reserves. Section 3.02. Definitions. A. "Actual construction costs" include the cost of all activities necessary or incidental to the construction of a District facility, such as financing, planning, designing, acquisition of the property or interests in the property, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, and repair. B. "Capital Facilities Capacity Charge" means a one-time, non- discriminatory Charge imposed at the time a property is connected to the District's system, directly or indirectly, or an existing structure or Category of use is expanded or increased. Said charge is to pay for District facilities in existence at the time the charge is imposed, or to pay for new facilities to be constructed in the future, that are of benefit to the property being charged. This charge does not apply to temporary facilities or operations that are regulated under the provisions of a Special Purpose Discharge Permit. The Supplemental Capital Facilities Connection Charge, as provided for in Sections 3.07, 3.08, 3.09, and 3.10 of this Ordinance, is an annual charge payable to the District on a quarterly or annual basis, as determined by the District. C. "Connection fee" means a fee equal to the cost necessary to physically conned a property to the District's system, including but not limited to, installation of meters, meter boxes, pipelines, and appurtenances to make the connection and which fee does not exceed the actual cost of labor, materials, and overhead for the installation of those facilities. D. "Non-discriminatory' means that the Capital Facilities Capacity Charge does not exceed an amount determined on the basis of the same objective criteria and methodology applicable to comparable public or non-public users,and is not in excess of the proportionate share of the cost of the District's facilities of benefit to the person or property being charged, based upon the proportionate share of use of those facilities. WSBS-TLW:pr#151421:05/07102:Rev.3-CLEAN 15 E. "Public agency" means the United States or any of its agencies, the State or any of its agencies, the Regents of the University of California, a county, city, district, school district, local or regional public authority, or any other political entity, subdivision or public corporation of the State. Section 3.03. Connection Permits: Required. A. Connection permits are required of all dwelling units, buildings, and structures connecting directly or indirectly to the District's sewerage system facilities. Included are the connections of laterals to local municipal sewerage facilities, and the connection of local municipal sewerage facilities and laterals to the District's facilities. B. Except as authorized by the issuance of a Special Purpose Discharge Permit under Sections 305—305.6 of Ordinance No. OCSD-01, or as amended, or as authorized pursuant to a special extra territorial service agreement approved by the Board of Directors, no permit shall be valid unless the real property to be served by use of the permit is included within the boundaries of the District and within the boundaries of a local sewering agency authorized to maintain public sewering facilities. However, a permit, as authorized above, may be issued for property to be served outside the boundaries of a local sewering agency if a local sewering agency makes application for the issuance of such permit. There will be a non-discriminatory Capital Facilities Capacity Charge assessed to public agencies for connecting directly or indirectly to the District's sewerage system facilities, and a connection permit must be obtained. Section 3.04. Capital Facilities Capacity Charae: Payment Required. No application for a permit for a connection to a District sewerage facility, or to any sewerage facility which discharges into a District sewerage facility, shall be approved, nor a permit issued, until a District Capital Facilities Capacity Charge is paid by the applicant, except as provided for discharges under a Special Purpose Discharge Permit. No connection permit shall be issued unless there is an established category of use of the property to be served or a valid building permit issued which establishes the category of use of said property. Section 3.05. Capital Facilities Capacity Charge: Time of Payment. A. Payment of the Capital Facilities Capacity Charge established by this Ordinance for connection to the District's sewerage system facilities shall be required at the time of issuance of the building permit for all construction within the District, excepting in the case of a building legally exempt from the requirement of obtaining a permit.
