having jurisdiction over the collection, transmission, treatment and disposal of sewage and other
wastes in the SDMS.
2. National City shall not allow, to the extent practicable, excessive inflow
and infiltration to be discharged into the SDMS. For purposes of this Section, "excessive"
means any amount that causes National City to exceed the limit of peak capacity set forth in
Exhibit A.
3. National City shall not allow, to the extent practicable, the discharge of
any waste, pollutant, inflow, or infiltration into the SDMS that is prohibited by ordinances,
resolutions, rules, or regulations of the United States of America, including the Environmental
Protection Agency, the State of California, and San Diego having jurisdiction over the collection,
transportation, treatment and disposal of sewage and other wastes in the SDMS.
4. National City shall not discharge any sewage originating outside the
boundaries of National City into the SDMS without the prior written consent of San Diego

Diego, National City, or any other authorized agency caused or contributed to such penalty or
enforcement action. Based on this determination, San Diego shall allocate the penalty or other
relief, including the cost of defense, to the party or parties responsible. Each responsible party,
whether San Diego, National City, or another authorized agency, shall pay its share of the
penalty or other relief, and any costs of defense as reasonably determined by San Diego in active
consultation with impacted parties. If San Diego cannot make an allocation based on
responsibility, the cost of the penalty or other relief shall be shared by San Diego, National City,
and any other authorized agency involved based proportionately on their respective average daily
flow into the SDMS
Sewage Transportation Agreement - 8 - National City
City of San Diego
6. After consultation with San Diego, National City shall be required to
install rock trap screens and odor control devices at sites connecting to the SDMS. San Diego
shall request the installation of rock traps in writing and shall allow a minimum of 120 days for
installation after the initial request is made.
III. CONTRACT CAPACITY RIGHTS
A. Amount of Contract Capacity
In consideration of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, National City
shall have a contractual right to discharge sewage into the SDMS up to the contract capacity
described in Exhibit A, provided, however, this shall not confer on National City the right to
discharge any substances otherwise prohibited by this Agreement into the SDMS.
B. Projected Flow and Capacity Report
On or before September 30th of each year during the term of this Agreement and
upon the request of San Diego, National City shall provide San Diego with a ten-year projection
(by fiscal year) of its average daily flow for dry season, peak flow and capacity requirements in
those portions of the SDMS used by National City. The peak flow projection should be based on
the ten-year return wet weather flow estimation. If at any time during the ten-year projection
National City is projected to exceed its average and/or peak capacity allotted under its contract
capacity, National City shall develop and submit a plan of action and an implementation
schedule to San Diego for its approval and acceptance. At a minimum, the plan shall describe
National City's future needs for contract capacity for the next ten (10) years and if necessary,
propose mitigation measures which may be required of National City to facilitate its future needs
for capacity including but not limited to increases in capacity through capital improvement
projects or taking other measures such as the construction of peak flow retention structures or re-
use facilities to reduce National City's flow into the SDMS.
In the event that San Diego disagrees with the ten-year projection, the plan of
action, or the implementation schedule provided by National City, the parties shall meet in good
faith and attempt to reconcile their differences for a period not to exceed six months from the
date National City submits its peak flow projection. If the parties fail to reach an agreement after
Sewage Transportation Agreement
- 9 - National City
City of San Diego
six months, San Diego may independently develop a notice of determination and proceed with
the procedure set forth in Section VIII.B.3.
C. Other Planning Information
On or before September 30th of each year during the term of this Agreement and
upon the request of San Diego, National City shall also provide San Diego with a 50-year
projection (by fiscal year) of its average daily flows for dry season in those portions of SDMS
used by National City.
D. Requests for Additional Contract Capacity
If National City desires to purchase additional contract capacity and San Diego is
willing to sell additional capacity pursuant to Section IV.B.3, or to create additional contract
capacity pursuant to Section VIII.B.3 of this Agreement, National City agrees to pay
transportation charges for the additional flow, as well as National City's proportionate share of
capital improvement project costs for existing or new SDMS facilities as may be necessary to
provide the additional contract capacity. The decision of whether to sell or create additional
contract capacity for National City, however, shall be at the sole discretion of San Diego.
National City agrees to submit a written request to obtain and purchase the additional capacity
needed in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section VIII of this Agreement.
E. Transfers of Contract Capacity
National City may buy, sell or exchange all or part of its contract capacity to or
from San Diego or other authorized agencies on such terms as they may agree upon provided that
San Diego shall be notified prior to any transfer. Any transfer shall be first approved in writing
by San Diego. No contract capacity may be transferred if San Diego determines, after
consultation with National City, that said transfer will unbalance, or will otherwise adversely
impact San Diego's ability to operate any SDMS facility or the Metro System. As a ministerial
matter, San Diego shall amend Exhibit A from time to time to reflect approved transfers of
contract cspneity, and provide National City with an updated exhibit.
Sewage Transportation Agreement
- 10 - National City
City of San Diego
3. In the event that sufficient capacity is available in existing infrastructure,
such capacity may be made available to National City, at the discretion of San Diego, upon
payment commensurate with the required additional capacity. In addition to the transportation
charge for the additional flow, National City shall pay its proportionate share of capital
improvement project costs for existing SDMS facilities used by National City under this
Agreement, including but not limited to the types described in Section VIII. National City's
additional share of capital improvement project costs shall be based upon the relative additional
amount of National City's peak capacity as it relates to the design capacity of the respective
SDMS facilities according to the following formula:
National City's estimated share of capital improvement project costs = (A/B) x C
Where: "A" is National City's additional peak capacity;
"B" is the design capacity of the SDMS facilities; and
"C" is the capital improvement project cost of the SDMS facilities,
expressed as the original cost unless the facilities had been rehabilitated, in
which case the cost of rehabilitation shall be added to the original cost. In
the case of replacement, the replacement cost shall be used in lieu of the
original cost for the portion of the facility that has been replaced. .
C. No Limitation of Municipal Powers
San Diego has sole discretion to determine how to operate the SDMS in a safe,
efficient and environmentally sound manner to avoid any risk to the health, safety and welfare of
the public. Therefore, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as precluding or limiting San
Diego from taking any action reasonably necessary to prevent flow from National City from
endangering the health, safety, or welfare of the residents of the City of San Diego.
D. Diversion of Flow
1. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude National City from diverting all
or part of its flow from the SDMS. However, prior to such diversion, National City shall notify
Sewage Transportation Agreement
- 12 - National City
City of San Diego
IV. EXCEEDING CAPACITY
A. Limitations on Capacity,
During the term of this Agreement, National City shall have the right to discharge
sewage into the SDMS in an amount not to exceed its contract capacity set forth in Exhibit A.
San Diego is not obligated to receive from National City, nor is National City privileged to
discharge into the SDMS, any amounts in excess of National City's contract capacity permitted
under this Agreement.
B. Good -Faith Contract Capacity Discussions
1. The parties recognize that appropriate capacity and long term planning are
essential for the proper provision of sewage transportation service. The parties further recognize
that it is very difficult to forecast and measure the resulting damage to San Diego and the SDMS
if National City exceeds its contract capacity. Therefore, if San Diego notifies National City
that it has exceeded its contract capacity, either average capacity or peak capacity as set forth in
Exhibit A, at any time during five or more days (from midnight to midnight) in any consecutive
90-day period, National City shall develop and submit a plan of action and an implementation
schedule to San Diego for its approval and acceptance. At a minimum, the plan shall describe
how National City proposes to stay within its contract capacity or how National City proposes to
increase its contract capacity in the SDMS. National City's proposals may include, but are not
limited to, increasing available capacity through participation in SDMS capital improvement
projects, purchasing or transferring capacity from San Diego or an authorized agency, taking
other measures such as the replacement of National City system components experiencing
infiltration and inflow and/or construction of peak flow retention structures or re -use facilities to
reduce National City's flow into the SDMS.
2. In the event that National City fails to submit the aforementioned plan of
action and implementation schedule within six (6) months of the date National City is notified by
San Diego, or if San Diego reasonably determines that the submitted plan and schedule are
insufficient or untimely to adequately address the matter, San Diego shall independently develop
a notice of determination pursuant to Section VIII.13.3.
Sewage Transportation Agreement
- 11 - National City
City of San Diego
San Diego in writing at least six (6) months in advance and enter into an agreement with San
Diego that, at a minimum, will require National City to pay its proportionate share of outstanding
capital improvement project costs, if payment of such outstanding costs upon diversion of flow is
not already addressed by separate agreement pursuant to Sections VIILB.2.c or VIII.B.3.c.
National City will also be responsible for all transportation charges owed by National City up to
the time of diversion.
2. In no event shall National City's diversion of all or part of its flow from
the SDMS entitle National City to any refund of previously remitted payments for capital
improvement project costs, or forgiveness of amounts owed, if any, to San Diego for existing or
increased contract capacity. National City shall, however, retain such contract capacity and may
transfer such capacity rights to another authorized agency, subject to San Diego's approval.
National City's contract capacity may be reduced or eliminated by future capital improvement
projects:
a. If a capital improvement project replaces a facility in which
National City has contract capacity, National City's contract capacity is extinguished.
b. If a capital improvement project rehabilitates a facility in which
National City has contract capacity, National City's contract capacity is reduced in proportion to
the amount that the capital improvement project cost, when added to the original cost of the
facility, reduces National City's proportionate share of the total cost of the facility.
E. Fines and Penalties
National City shall be responsible for the violation of any applicable Iaws, rules,
or regulations associated with its discharge of flow into the SDMS. In the event a regulatory
agency imposes any penalty or takes other enforcement action relating to the conveyance of flow
through a SDMS facility listed in Exhibit B, San Diego shall determine whether itself or an
authorized agency or agencies caused or contributed to such penalty or enforcement actions. San
Diego shall allocate the penalty or other relied including the costs of defense, to the authorized
agency or agencies responsible. Each responsible party, whether an authorized agency or San
Diego, shall be obligated to pay its share of such penalty or other relief, and any costs of defense.
Sewage Transportation Agreement
- 13 - National City
City of San Diego
In the event that San Diego cannot make such an allocation, the cost of such penalty or other
relief shall be shared by all authorized agencies, including San Diego, using the SDMS facility
proportionately based on the amount of flow.
V. MONITORING
A. Flow Monitoring Devices
1. In most cases, flow monitoring devices are already installed and paid for
through the Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement.
2. If San Diego and/or National City determine that additional flow
monitoring devices are needed beyond any Metro System flow monitoring devices, San Diego
shall own and operate the flow monitoring devices as part of the Metro System monitoring
devices and allocate costs as identified in the Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement..
B. Equipment Maintenance
San Diego shall operate, maintain, manage and controlthe flow monitoring
device(s) in an efficient and economical manner and preserve them in good repair and working
order, all in accordance with recognized and sound engineering practices. San Diego shall
provide flow reports to National City on a regular basis but not less frequently than quarterly.
Upon written request, San Diego shall provide National City with the record of the field
calibration for any meters in question. National City shall have access to the electronic files.
C. Unmonitored Flows
Where the transported sewage is not monitored, San Diego and National City
shall mutually agree upon the estimated amount of flow generated from such service areas. If
such an agreement cannot be made, the dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute
resolution procedure set forth in Section XI of this Agreement. National City shall keep current
and accurate records of the number and types of structures for evaluation of gallons per day for
flow into the SDMS lines. Such records shall be made available for San Diego upon written
request.

City of San Diego
VI. TRANSPORTATION CHARGES
A. Transportation Charge
1. San Diego shall charge and National City shall pay a transportation charge
at the unit transportation rate, set forth in Exhibit C, per million gallons of flow for each mile
such flow is transported in the SDMS. As a ministerial matter, this rate shall be adjusted
annually for inflation in accordance with the State of California Economic Forecast Index for the
most recent year ending December 31. Revised rates shall take effect July 1 of the following
year. In no event will the rate be adjusted more frequently than once each fiscal year.
2. The unit transportation rate will be reviewed by San Diego every five (5)
years, commencing from the date of its finalization, to ensure that it does not deviate
substantially from actual costs incurred by the Metropolitan Wastewater Department for
operation and maintenance of the SDMS utilized by National City. San Diego will adjust the
unit transportation rate in accordance with either of the following methods:
a. San Diego will determine the average of the actual costs for the
previous three (3) years, based on the formula and calculations used to devise the current
transportation rate. If the average actual costs for the three-year period would have resulted in a
transportation rate that is more than five percent (5%) less than or greater than the transportation
rate being applied at the time of the analysis, the rate will be adjusted to an amount equal to the
three-year average of actual expenses on the next scheduled increase date.
b. San Diego may conduct or procure, at its sole cost and expense, a
cost of service study to determine the appropriate unit transportation rate. The unit
transportation rate shall be adjusted in accordance with the results of the study on the next
scheduled increase date. If National City objects to the adjustment recommended by the study,
the matter shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section XI
of this Agreement.
Sewage Transportation Agreement
- 15 - National City
City of San Diego
3. Notwithstanding the above, San Diego may adjust the unit transportation
rate at any time if a change in federal, state, or local laws or regulations, a court order, or an
order from a regulatory agency materially affects the cost of providing sewage transportation
service. In consultation with National City, San Diego will adjust the unit transportation rate to
reflect the actual cost to San Diego, effective the beginning of the next billing period. If
National City objects to the adjustment determined by San Diego, the matter shall be resolved
pursuant to the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section XI of this Agreement.
4. As a ministerial matter, and provided it has followed the procedures set
forth herein, including any dispute resolution procedure, San Diego shall amend Exhibit C from
time to time to reflect adjustments to the unit transportation rate, and provide National City with
an updated exhibit.
B. Billing
San Diego shall bill National City on a quarterly basis for transportation charges
no later than ninety (90) days after the end of the quarter to which the billing applies. Payment
shall be made by National City to San Diego within thirty (30) days of receipt of the billing and
shall be considered delinquent fifteen (15) days thereafter. Late payments shall accrue interest at
a rate of ten (10) percent per annum.
C. Payment Disputes
No payment shall be withheld by National City because of a dispute as to its
amount. Disputed payment shall be made with a notation as to the portion in dispute. Payment
disputes shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section XI of
this Agreement. Any amount determined to have been improperly allocated to National City
resulting in an overpayment shall be adjusted by San Diego as a credit to the next invoice
following such determination, and shall accrue interest at a rate of ten (10) percent per annum,
calculated from the date paid by the National City. In the event that the improper allocation to
National City resulted in an underpayment, such amount shall be adjusted by San Diego as a
debit to the next invoice following such determination.

contract capacity requirements in those portions of the SDMS used by National City. National
City shall also advise San Diego of any plans to acquire capacity outside the SDMS. This
"Projected Flow Capacity Report" shall be updated annually. National City shall also provide
San Diego with such additional information requested by San Diego as necessary for SDMS
planning purposes.
2. San Diego shall prepare a Ten Year Municipal Capital Improvement Plan
for the SDMS that describes facilities necessary to convey all flows in compliance with
applicable rules, laws and regulations. These Plans shall be updated annually. San Diego shall

City of San Diego
City's peak capacity as described in Exhibit A and as it relates to the design capacity of the
respective SDMS facilities according to the following formulas:
Where: "A" is National City's peak capacity;
"B" is the design capacity of the SDMS facility;
"C" is the estimated capital improvement project cost of the SDMS
facility constructed for or used by National City;
"D" is the remaining useful life of the existing SDMS facility; and
"E" is the estimated useful life of the new SDMS facility.
1. For new SDMS facilities, or for repair, rehabilitation, or replacement of
SDMS facilities that have reached the end of their useful life, or if replacement of SDMS
facilities is needed to increase the design capacity because of an increase in flow from both
National City and San Diego, National City's estimated share of capital improvement project
costs = (A/B) x C.
2. For replacement of SDMS facilities that have not reached the end of their
useful life, to increase the design capacity, due solely to an increase in flow from San Diego
and/or other involved agencies, National City's estimated share of capital improvement project
costs = (A/B) x C x ((E D)/E).
3. For replacement of SDMS facilities that have not reached the end of their
useful life, to increase the design capacity, due solely to an increase in flow from National City,
National City's estimated share of capital improvement project costs = C - [((B — A)/B) x C x
((E-D)/E)].

I. Computation Methodology:
The Transportation Rate is based on 0 & M costs associated with the use of the conveyance systems and billing units in
terms of Million Gallons -Miles (MG -Mile). O&M Costs are apportioned between small diameter pipes (SDP) defined as less
than eighteen inches and large diameter pipes (LDP) defined as equal to or greater than eighteen inches based on the costs to
service large diameter pipes. This method provides information on the amount of flow, the individual lines utilized for
transport, and the total mileage usedin the municipal system.

to the San Diego Municipal Sewerage System.
