E. Stormwater runoff from the Upland Area into the District has deleterious <br /> effects within the District. For purposes of this Agreement, stormwater runoff from the <br /> Upland Area shall be referred to as"Hillside Runoff." <br /> F. On September 3, 2013,the County,the City and the District entered into a <br /> five-year Interlocal Agreement("2013 Agreement")regarding the increased Hillside Runoff <br /> in the Marshland Drainage Basin due to upland development. <br /> G. On September 18, 2017, the County,the City, and the District executed <br /> Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment No. 1 to the 2013 Agreement")to the 2013 Agreement <br /> which, among other things, extended the term of the 2013 Agreement through the 2018 <br /> calendar year, to allow time to negotiate a new agreement. <br /> H. On December 19, 2018, the County, the City, and the District executed <br /> Amendment No. 2 ("Amendment No. 2 to the 2013 Agreement")to the 2013 Agreement <br /> which, among other things, extended the term of the 2013 Agreement through the 2019 <br /> calendar year, to allow additional time to negotiate a new agreement. <br /> I. The frequency, amount and extent of Hillside Runoff have increased since <br /> pre-development in 1947 due to development within the Upland Area. In particular, County <br /> models indicate there is a direct correlation between increased impervious surface due to <br /> development in the Upland Area and increased Hillside Runoff over pre-development <br /> amounts. The City and County,however, believe runoff from development in the Upland <br /> Area has flattened out due to buildout and changes in drainage and stormwater handling <br /> requirements that new development and redevelopment must incorporate and implement. On <br /> the other hand,between 2010 and 2018, the Snohomish County Public Utility District#1 has <br /> documented an 8.1% increase in service hookups due to development in the Upland Area. <br /> The Parties have agreed to compromise on a figure of a 14.5%increase over pre- <br /> development amounts of Hillside Runoff for purposes of this 5-Year Agreement(the <br /> "Increased Hillside Runoff'). <br /> J. The County Upland Area contains approximately seventy percent(70%) of <br /> the total impervious surface in the Upland Area and the City Upland Area contains <br /> approximately thirty percent(30%) of the total impervious surface in the Upland <br /> Area. Accordingly, as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, as between the County and <br /> the City,the County's proportionate share of the Increased Hillside Runoff shall be seventy <br /> percent(70%), and the City's proportionate share of the Increased Hillside Runoff shall be <br /> thirty percent(30%). <br /> K. The PUD data available at the time of the 2013 Agreement indicated that the <br /> District's kilowatt energy use increased 17% over the previous two (2) decades. Moreover, <br /> in 2019,when one or more of the District's 250 hp pumps must be turned on there is a large <br /> surge of electricity needed which increases District electricity costs from $.0698 per kilowatt <br /> hour to $5.12 per kilowatt hour. Based on this information, the Parties have also agreed, <br /> when calculating the amount of the District's Pump Plant-related costs that are attributable to <br /> the Increased Hillside Runoff, to apply to the 14.5% figure described in Recital I a"peaking <br /> INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT REGARDING INCREASED HILLSIDE RUNOFF IN pg.2 <br /> THE MARSHLAND DRAINAGE BASIN DUE TO UPLAND DEVELOPMENT 09/09/2019 <br />
