RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA ACCEPTING A REPORT PREPARED BY
PBS&J RECOMMENDING THE UPDATE OF THE
TELEGRAPH CANYON SEWER PUMPED FLOWS
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE TO ADDRESS CAPACITY
CONSTRAINTS ON THE TELEGRAPH CANYON TRUNK
SEWER
WHEREAS, the Salt Creek Gravity Sewer Interceptor, that will serve all the development
within the Salt Creek Sewer Basin, is anticipated to be completed by the summer of 2003; and
WHEREAS, the Easflake Company wants to go forward with the Eastlake III project,
which is entirely in the Salt Creek Sewer Basin, and therefore on June 17, 2002, the Eastlake
Company retained Post, Buck, Schuh & Jerigan, Inc. (PBS&J) to evaluate various alternatives
for providing sewer service to Eastlake III in lieu of the Salt Creek Gravity Sewer Interceptor;
and
WHEREAS, PBS&J prepared on September 2002, the "Pumped Sewer Development
Impact Fee Engineering Study" that evaluated the sewer capacity constraints in the Telegraph
Canyon Trunk Sewer and recommended the revision of the Telegraph Canyon Sewer Pumped
Flows Development Impact Fee; and
- WHEREAS, the PBS&J study determined that if the flows were pumped into the
Telegraph Canyon Trunk Sewer, in addition to the flows already being pumped into the line, the
line would have to be significantly ups[zed well beyond the scope of the current improvements;
also, recent flow monitoring indicated that the trunk sewer is rapidly approaching threshold
capacity. Based on these constraints, the study determined that since the trunk line was located
in a highly traveled roadway, it would be extremely expensive and disruptive to try to complete
the required improvements in time to avoid the system becoming overburdened; and
WHEREAS, the following is a general list of recommendations that the 2002, "Pumped
Sewer Development Impact Fee Engineering Study" made regarding the Telegraph Canyon
Pumped Flows Development Impact Fee (DIF):
The Poggi Canyon Basin Sewer Interceptor will be included as one of the approved
facilities financed by the DIF.
Decrease the DIF from $560 to $180 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU).
The area of benefit established in the Telegraph Canyon Sewer Pumped Flows DIF will
remain the same and pumping of some or all of the sewage flows generated in the area of
benefit to Telegraph Canyon Trunk Sewer will remain an operational alternative
To support alternative pumping operations, the City will maintain and monitor both the
Poggi Canyon Basin Sewer Interceptor and the Telegraph Canyon Trunk Sewer.
The name of the Telegraph Canyon Sewer Pumped Flows Development Impact Fee will
be changed to the Pumped Sewer Development Impact Fee, since the DIF will not only

finance sewer improvements in the Telegraph Canyon Trunk Sewer, but also in the Poggi
Canyon Basin Sewer Interceptor.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
does hereby accept a report prepared by PBS&J recommending an updated Telegraph Canyon
Pumped Flows Development Impact Fee to mitigate the sewer capacity impacts generated by the
Pumped Flow Basin to the sewer system, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and is
incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full.
