RE: Water and Sanitary Sewer Serviceability Statement #160517

Project Name: Valle De Oro National Wildlife Refuge Project Location: 7851 2nd Street SW - Zone Atlas Map: 513/512

Dear Mr. Johns:

Project Information: The subject site is located between 2nd St. and the Barr Interior Drain just south of the Barr Spur Drain in an unincorporated area of Bernalillo County.

The property is comprised of Tract 2-A and Tract 3-A (Plat of Tracts 2-A and 3-A Lands of VG Farms) and consists of approximately 84 acres that is currently zoned A-1 for residential/agricultural use. The property lies within the Pressure Zone 1E in the Hubbell trunk. The request for information indicates plans to construct administrative offices, visitor center space, multi-use classroom/public space totaling approximately 11,000 square feet that will also include a 1,710 square feet maintenance building with all associated storage, work areas, parking lots, green house, garden trails and related site improvements for future use.

Development Agreement: Pursuant to the System Expansion Ordinance, this property is outside of the Water Authority service area and the Water Authority Board must approve a Development Agreement to serve this property and establish requirements as a condition of service. Contact Utility Development in regards to Development Agreements .

Water Supply Charge: All developments located outside of the Water Authority's service area will be assessed a Water Supply Charge (WSC) as provided in the Water Authority's Water and Sewer Rate Ordinance for the development of new water resources, rights and supplies necessary to serve the development. The WSC shall not be used for reimbursement of master planned facilities.

Existing Conditions: Water infrastructure in the area consists of the following:

• 36 inch concrete cylinder transmission main (project #26-7565.81-08) along the Barr Spur Drain

• Eight inch PVC stub (project #26-7565.81-08) extending south from the existing 36 inch transmission line located approximately at the midpoint of the northern property line of Tract 1.

• Ten inch PVC stub (project #26-7565 .81-08)) extending south from the existing 36 inch transmission line located along 2nd St. near the northeast corner of Tract 1.

• 16 inch AC stub (project #09-002-84) located approximately 1,500 feet north along 2nd St. at the intersection of Lagunitas La.

Mr. Jeffrey Johns US Fish and Wildlife Service

_ September 6, 2016

Sanitary sewer infrastructure in the area consists of the following:

• Eight inch PVC collector line (project #26-2932.86) along Clark Rd. located approximately 3,000 feet north of the subject site.

Water and Sewer Service: New metered water service to the property can be provided contingent upon a developer funded project which extends the existing ten inch distribution stub south along 2nd St., covering the entire eastern property frontage of the tracts being developed (Tracts 2A and 3A). The required development agreement will also include the requirement of the extension of the aforementioned waterline along 2nd St. to cover the entire eastern property frontage of the remaining tracts (Tracts 4 and 5). Service is also contingent upon compliance with the Fire Marshal's instantaneous fire flow requirements. Water service will not be sold without adequate fire protection. Water service will only be sold in conjunction with sanitary sewer service.

Sanitary sewer service can be provided contingent upon a developer funded project to extend a collector line along 2nd St. to cover the property frontage of the tracts being developed (Tracts 2A and 3A), which can discharge to the existing sanitary sewer system located approximately 3,000 feet north along Clark Rd. if grades allow. The required development agreement will also include the requirement to extend the sanitary sewer collector line south to cover the eastern property frontage of the remaining tracts (Tracts 4 and 5). A study shall be completed for sizing the sanitary sewer so that it also takes into account other properties within the basin. All food service establishments must install a grease trap upstream of the domestic private sewer connection prior to discharge into the public sanitary sewer lines. Any deviations shall be coordinated with Utility Development.

Cross Connection Prevention: Per the Cross Connection Ordinance, all new non-residential premises must have a reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assembly approved by the Water Authority and installed at each domestic service connection at a location accessible to the Water Authority. All new fire line services to fire protection systems shall be equipped with a reduced pressure principal backflow prevention assembly approved by the Water Authority and Fire Marshal having jurisdiction at each service connection. A double check valve assembly approved by the Water Authority and Fire Marshal having jurisdiction may be installed instead of a reduced pressure backflow prevention assembly provided the fire protection system contains ANSI/NSF Standard 60 or 61 water piping throughout the entire fire protection system, the fire sprinkler drain discharges into atmosphere, and there are no reservoirs, fire department connections, connections from auxiliary water supplies, antifreeze nor other additives . The Water Authority requests that all backflow (containment) devices be located above ground just outside the easement or roadway right-of-way. Contact Cross Connection at 289-3439 for more information.

Fire Protection: The instantaneous fire flow requirements for the subject property were not submitted in the request for availability; therefore, this statement may not be complete and/or valid at the time of future construction. All new required hydrants as well as their exact locations must be determined through the Bernalillo County Fire

Marshal's Office and verified through the Utility Development Office prior to sale of service.

Easements: Exclusive public water and sanitary sewer easements are required for all public lines that are to be constructed outside of any dedicated Rights-of-Way. A minimum width easement of 20 feet is required for a single utility and 25 feet for water and sewer both within the same easement. Easements for water meters need to be five feet by five feet and include the length of the water service if located on private property. Actual easement widths may vary dependfng on the depth of the lines to be installed. Acceptable easements must be documented prior to approval of service.

Pro Rata: As described in this statement, the extension of public water and sanitary sewer lines may be eligible for partial reimbursement through the Pro Rata process as detailed in the Water Authority Water and Wastewater System Expansion Ordinance.

Pro Rata is not owed and the property can utilize the services available upon completion of the requirements of this statement to connect to water and sanitary sewer.

Design and Construction of all required improvements will be at the developer / property owner's expense. Improvements must be coordinated through the Bernalillo County Department of Public Works and Water Authority Work Order process. Designs must be by a licensed, ew Mexico registered professional engineer. Construction must be by a licensed, bonded, public utility contractor.

Costs and Fees: In addition to installation and construction costs, any new metered water services will be subject to both water and sanitary sewer Utility Expansion Charges (UEC) payable at the time of service application. All charges and rates collected will be based on the ordinances and policies in effect at the time service is actually requested and authorized.

Water Use: When metered water service becomes available to this site, the Water Authority is ready, willing, and able to provide the maximum annual requirement for the subject subdivision/project for a period of at least 70 years as required by the Bernalillo County Subdivision Ordinance. However, the Water Authority is also committed to meeting water conservation goals and requirements. Accordingly, all new development utilizing Water Authority services are subject to the requirements for water usage and water conservation requirements as defined by the Water Authority. Where available, outdoor water usage shall utilize reclaimed water. All new commercial developments shall be subject to the requirements for water usage and water conservation requirements as defined by the Water Authority, particularly the Water Waste Ordinance (0-07-13), Water Conservation Large Users Ordinance and Water Conservation Water by Request Ordinance.

Closure: This statement only provides details of infrastructure that is available and potential precursors to development for the proposed development. For service to be provided, a Board approved development agreement must supplement this serviceability, therefore causing this serviceability to be in effect for a period of one year upon approval of the development agreement. Under no circumstances does this serviceability commit to service without the above mentioned conditions. Changes in the proposed development may require reevaluation and should be brought to the attention of the Utility Development Section of the Water Authority as soon as possible.

Please feel free to contact the Mr. Kristopher Cadena in our Utility Development Section at (505) 289-3301 or email at kcadena@abcwua .org if you have questions regarding the information presented herein or need additional information.

Sincerely, Mark S. Sanchez Executive Director
