HomeMy WebLinkAboutRE_ The Meadows - Review of the Financial Assurance and Septic System Operations_ Monitoring and Maintenance Agreements (0003)Linda,
I have revised the O&M Services Agreement and Financial Assurances Plan. Attached are clean and blackline copies. I believe the blacklines are comparisons to versions you have seen
but i am not positive. In any event, I have revised the agreements so that they deal mostly with Phase 1 – the existing system which had been installed and accepted by JCPH/PUD #1.
Upon meeting the security funding requirements, STO should be able to turn that system over to the owners association. I am a little unclear how the cost estimate in Section 18(f)
works and whether it has to wait until the 12th year.
Also, it seems that the owner should get back any amount left in the security account if the property gets hooked up to the public sewer. I have allowed for application of funds in
that account toward the owner’s cost of connection and then repayment to the owner of any amounts left over. This has not been approved by my client, who may have other objections,
questions, concerns, etc. concerning these versions.
I understand the provisions dealing with the scope and fees for monitoring and maintaining system are under discussion. I am clear exactly what the fee covers, i.e. is it a flat fee
for monitoring and maintenance. Does it include some repairs/replacements or just monitoring? Can it be prorated so that it is applicable only to the number of dwellings served?
If monitoring reveals work or repairs that should be done, who will do that? I have not tinkered with these provisions very much and look forward to getting some clarification on how
the PUD and JCPH expect this to operate. We will want to be reimbursed the costs of monitoring, operation and maintenance of the system by the owners through their association. The
extent to which we can have a flat, all-inclusive fee provides predictability for the association and lot owners.

Jeff,
I will need to discuss these items with Austin to come up with language that is consistent with the code requirements. Essentially, while I understand that the PUD does not want to
own the system they need to manage it and charge/collect enough to make maintenance repairs and pump components as needed as well as file the required reports to the system identified
by the county without going to STO LLC or the homeowners association for necessary maintenance.
On the estimate I don’t see any information on who prepared the estimate and whether they addressed current code requirements if the system were to be replaced today.
I cannot guarantee that I won’t have comments based on the response to my comments and changes by the PUD or your attorney.

Hello Linda,
O&M
Recitals item #9/#10 - what do you want it to say?
Recitals #12 - what do you want it to say?
FAP
Please see attached in regard to item 18. Are you otherwise satisfied with the draft?
I trust that your comments above reflect a comprehensive final review of the drafts and once these revisions are made that we can move forward to recording.

Attached are my comments and corrections for the Financial Assurance and Septic System Operations, Monitoring and Maintenance Agreements regarding Phase 1 of The Meadows that I received
from Jeff Ashmore. I think I responded to the questions you had in the draft you reviewed and I asked a few questions in this draft.
For the Operations, Monitoring and Maintenance Agreement an issue is that per #9 and 10 of Recitals the PUD is not agreeing to the management and operation of the community systems as
required in the code and the ownership of the project is clearly intended to transfer to a homeowner association. #12 in Recitals states that STO LLC will be entitled to receive funds
from the security fund upon termination of its obligations which seems to indicate that when they transfer ownership to the homeowners association they anticipate getting the ‘security
fund’ back. This is definitely not the intent. The security fund is specifically intended to be the start for the long term ability to replace the drainfield when it fails, which
it will. We have quite a bit of experience in this area with other community systems.
For the Financial Assurance Plan it does not appear that any of your comments from the previous draft were incorporated. I am attaching that previous draft for your convenience (doc
name starts with Olympic Greens). Regarding #18 Security they have not changed this language for a) I noted that we need information on how this amount was arrived at.
Below are the most pertinent sections of the code but I can provide additional sections to support any items of the agreements you need.
JCC 8.15.100 COMMUNITY ON-SITE SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEMS
(1) Community on-site sewage systems as defined in this chapter shall be designed in accordance with WAC 246-272A, this code and the maintenance criteria as set forth in the current
Washington State Department of Health “Design Standards for Large On-Site Sewage Systems,” 1996, and WAC 246-272B or as they may be hereafter amended.
(2) Management of community on-site sewage systems shall be by an entity approved by JCPH. If the lots are individually owned the management shall in all cases be provided by a public
entity. A homeowners association is not considered an approved entity for the management of a community on-site sewage system.
(3) A covenant shall be recorded to the property and shall remain in place for the life of the on-site sewage system or until the on-site sewage system is no longer needed. It shall
provide the management entity the following items including but not limited to:
a. A legal easement allowing access for construction, operation and maintenance, and repair of the OSS; and
b. Identification of an adequate financing mechanism to assure the funding of operation, maintenance, and repair of the OSS.
(4) All lots, parcels, or individual connections to a community system shall be equipped with a water meter or other approved method for monitoring flows into the system.
(5) Sites proposing community systems shall conform to the minimum land area requirements of WAC 246-272A.
(6) All community on-site sewage systems shall provide an annual report to JCPH including the following at a minimum:
a. Number of connections to the system and each connection’s design flow.
b. Copies of inspection reports consisting of the items identified on forms provided or approved by JCPH per 8.15.150 (10) and completed per 8.15.150 (7).
c. Records identifying all maintenance completed on the system components.
8.15.140 OPERATION AND MONITORING SPECIALIST
(6) Inspection Reports shall be submitted by the Operations and Monitoring Specialist to JCPH or other authorized agency within thirty (30) days following the inspection.
a. The reports shall be submitted in the format and manner prescribed by JCPH.
b. Fees shall be charged for each report submitted with the exception of those submitted within 60 days to follow-up on corrections identified in a previous report.
c. Fees due to Jefferson County for submittal of inspection reports shall be payable within 30 days of invoice.
d. By submitting the report the Operation and Monitoring Specialists affirms that they have performed and accurately reported all current system and site conditions.
i. At a minimum, the monitoring inspection shall include a site visit and a visual inspection of all tanks, pump basins, treatment units, disposal
area and other components of the system as detailed on the record drawing or site plan on record.
e. Maintenance items completed, including those listed in 8.140 (4) b, shall be reported on an inspection report to JCPH in an approved format within thirty (30) days of completion.
8.15.150 OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND MONITORING
(7) On-site Sewage System Inspection Requirements.
a. The owner shall assure that the OSS receives a complete evaluation of the system components and/or property to determine functionality, maintenance needs and compliance with regulations
and any permits:
i. At least once every three years for all systems consisting solely of a septic tank and gravity drainfield;
ii. Annually for all other systems unless more frequent inspections are specified by these regulations or the local health officer.
d. Inspection by a certified O&M Specialist, Licensed Designer or JCPH is required:
iii. For community on-site sewage systems.
iv. For on-site sewage systems serving commercial enterprises unless authorization is granted to the homeowner for a specific OSS system.
v. At the time of sale or transfer of a property, EXCEPT if there is a monitoring inspection on file by a Certified O&M Specialist or Licensed Designer
in compliance with the inspection frequency identified in JCC 8.15.150 (7)a. The Monitoring Inspection Report shall be on file with JCPH prior to the sale or transfer.
vi. At the time of application for building permit on the property per JCPH Policy 04-01 as adopted or amended.
vii. At the time of application for other land use or governmental actions including but not limited to:
1. Land Divisions where an existing OSS is part of the proposal,
2. Conditional Use permit,
3. Boundary Line Adjustment where an existing OSS is part of the proposal.
