1 Stormwater Utilities 101: Getting Started on Financing your Stormwater Management Plan Joanne Throwe Environmental Finance Center University of Maryland Martinsburg, WV July 17, 2013
2 The Environmental Finance Center: Who are we? One of 10 University-based centers across the country Provide innovative solutions to managing the costs of environmental protection and improvement by assisting communities: Address internal capacity Develop organizational capacity Assess, recommend, and implement watershed protection financing programs Identify funding and financing opportunities Address the issue of how to pay by working across sectors
3 Elements of a Comprehensive Stormwater Program 1. Administration 2. Billing and Finance 3. Public Education and Involvement 4. Technical Support 5. Engineering and Planning 6. Operation and Maintenance 7. Capital Improvements 8. Regulation and Enforcement
4 Stormwater Today: The Impact on WV Municipalities Many new MS4 Phase II More attention to Phase II communities than ever before Additional responsibility to meet TMDL All this at a time when too few resources and limited capacity available to properly manage stormwater 7/21/13 4
5 You are Not Alone: Stormwater Financing Around the Country Stormwater Utilities 2012 Source: Western Kentucky University Stormwater Utility Survey 2012; report surveys 1,314 stormwater utilities across 39 states and DC
6 Where Does It All Begin? It starts with a comprehensive strategy Estimate annually but plan for the long term Make program transparent and cost effective Get to know your system above and below the ground Engage public early and often
7 No Time like the Present to get Started Know what you are responsible for Get more familiar with your permit Develop a strategy short and long term Better organize your stormwater department Build a communication strategy Write, record, and document EVERYTHING! Create your Stormwater Champion(s) locally 7/21/13 7
8 Minimum Control Measures 1. Public Education and Outreach: Written plan, list of targeted audiences 2. Public Involvement and Participation: Promoting, tracking and soliciting feedback 3. IDD&E: Tracking inspections/complaints 4. Construction Site SW Runoff Control: Track progress 5. Post Construction SW Management: Procedures, written O&M schedule 6. Good Housekeeping/Pollution Prevention: Cleaning schedule, training 8
9 Technical Steps to Take Now Step 1: Conduct assessment of current stormwater program through data gathering Step 2: Evaluate existing program structure; evaluate current capacity; identify trends in funding Step 3: Identify gaps in existing program and evaluate future needs Step 4: Determine where current program fits into LOS; evaluate exact costs Step 5: Develop and finalize proposed stormwater program budget for year 1; project out budget
10 Funding Options for Stormwater Funding Mechanisms What Costs they Cover Funding Source Capital O&M Grants Yes No Loan Programs Yes No Bond Financing Yes Yes General Fund Yes Yes Permit Review Fees No Yes Inspection Fees No Yes Utility Rates Yes Yes
11 Case Study #1: Berlin, MD Relevant Findings Current level of funding dedicated to stormwater management in Berlin is drastically under budgeted compared to the demonstrated need 10-year revenue stream totaling ~$8.3 million, broken down into three categories: personnel costs, capital improvement costs, and operations & maintenance costs
12 Proposed Stormwater Budget, Years 1-10 $3,400,000 $3,200,000 $3,000,000 $2,800,000 $2,600,000 $2,400,000 $2,200,000 $2,000,000 $1,800,000 $1,600,000 $1,400,000 $1,200,000 $1,000,000 $800,000 $600,000 $400,000 $200,000 $- Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Year 7 Year 8 Year 9 Year 10 Personnel Costs Capital Improvement Costs O&M Costs Total Costs

18 Utility Billing Recommendation Billing options Advantages Disadvantages 1. Separate line on tax bill 2. Line item on water & sewer bill Less likely to be contested Extra processing - $ goes to County first Easier for Berlin to collect Much more visible to community, greater chance to be contested Recommendation: The town apply the stormwater utility fee billing to the water and sewer bill as a separate line on the bill that would indicate exactly how much is being applied towards stormwater.
19 Recommended Rate Structure for Residential Properties Flat Rate Stormwater Utility Fees Pros ü Requires less internal capacity ü Reduces administrative burden ü Much less risk of billing errors Cons Does not account for variance in property size Recommendation: A flat rate fee structure should be adopted for townhome properties and single family residences (residential properties) since there is not a large enough spread among the sizes of residential units to justify a parcel-specific fee structure.
20 Residential Flat Rate Fee Structure Residential properties yield $70,000 per year Based on fixed yearly rate of $50 for 1,400 properties Monthly rate = $4.17; quarterly rate = $12.50 Residential fee based on the average impervious surface of a single family home = 2,100 square feet (1 ERU)
21 Recommended Rate Structure for Non- Residential Properties ERU-based Stormwater Utility Fees Pros ü Accounts for variance in size and nature of properties ü Fairest method ü Feasible ü Practical ü Appropriate Cons Greatest administrative burden Requires GIS capacity Recommendation: Since the size and nature of units vary widely, an ERU-based fee structure should be adopted for multi-family, commercial, and industrial properties (non-residential properties) which will base the fee on a property s actual impervious surface.
22 Additional Recommendation: Invest in GIS Recommendation: Berlin should invest in GIS software and training prior to issuing its first utility bill. Although the size of many properties may be significant, the total number of properties being assessed would not prove difficult for town staff compared to that of assessing residential properties.
23 Site-specific Examples of Non-Residential Utility Fee Property name Total lot size (acres) Impervious Cover (ft 2 ) Impervious area (as % of total area) Annual stormwater utility fee (impervious cover/2,100ft 2 x $45) Atlantic General Hospital , $9, Stephen Decatur High School , $11, Stephen Decatur Middle School , $4, Buckingham Elementary School , $4, Berlin Intermediate School , $5, Worcester Preparatory School , $6, St. Paul s Episcopal Church , $ St. Paul s Methodist Church , $ Rite Aid , $1, Sav-A Lot Shopping Center , $7,364.74
24 Non-Residential Utility Fee: Atlantic General Hospital 23.9 acres, 40.4% impervious area 421,225 sq. ft. impervious cover Calculate the fee 421,225 sq. ft./2,100 sq. ft. = ERUs ERUs x $45 = $9,026 yearly fee ($2, quarterly fee; $ monthly fee)
25 Non-Residential Utility Fee: St. Paul s Episcopal Church 2.74 acres, 22.2% impervious area 26,571 sq. ft. impervious cover Calculate the fee 26,571 sq. ft./2,100 sq. ft. = ERUs ERUs x $45 = $ yearly fee ($ quarterly fee; $47.45 monthly fee)
26 Case Study #2: Salisbury, Maryland
27 Who is included in the MS4 Permit? Source: A User s Guide to Watershed Planning in Maryland, December 2005, Prepared by Center for Watershed Protection for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources
28 Goal of the Salisbury Stormwater Program Chesapeake Bay communities are facing: More stringent MS4 permits Significant nutrient reduction expectations from TMDL and WIP activities EFC s Goal Enhance Salisbury s existing program, raising the level of service in a way that enables the City to meet permit requirements more thoroughly, address community water quality priorities, and prepare for future nutrient reduction expectations.
29 Salisbury Stormwater Program Funding Needs Relevant Findings Budgeting practices currently significantly underfund the stormwater program in order to meet the City s MS4 Permit 10-year revenue stream totaling ~$23.2 million is needed to fully support required MS4 Permit activities A comprehensive program will include additional costs associated with the City s WIP activities
30 Designing a Level of Service OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE Maintain, inspect, and evaluate the effectiveness of BMPs owned or maintained by the City, as well as those which are privately owned. (General Permit) Level of Service Options Program Gap Additional Staff Additional Operating Costs Yearly/One Time Expense Capital Cost Minimal Continue to perform maintenance on BMPs as resources become available. Medium Systematically address backlog of City s BMP s maintenance by adding additional crew. 1 FTE to inspect a minimum of 1/3 of all facilities annually $30,000 - $35,000 salary with and additional $4,500 - $5,250 in benefits; yearly Cell phone, camera, laptop; $40,000 for truck $5,000 annually for vehicle maintenance High Address all backlogs and add new BMPs around city.
