the District of Columbia governmental sector carbon footprint inventory using 2006 as the base year. Additionally, DC WASA has
completed its carbon footprint inventories for 2OO7 and 2008, respectively, in compliance with The Climate Registry's General
Reporting Protocol. These inventories will serve as the baseline in establishing carbon footprint reduction goals, a specific Board
strategic critical success factor. The Energy Steering Team provides input into the development of a ten-year energy management
plan and will play a vital role in the conduct of DC WASA's comprehensive energy audit planned for completion in FY2O10. The
energy audit will provide a technical energy savings analysis of DC WASA assets, development of a methodology for measurement
and verification of savings projections and evaluation of cosVbenefit of implementation of recommendations. Additionally, the
Authority will seek and analyze opportunities to engage in peak load curtailment and load shedding programs through PJM
(Pennsylvania, Jersey and Maryland) to reduce cost and earn payment for such actions.
The proposed FY 2011 budget totals $408.1 million, a 6.8 percent increase over the revised FY 2010 budget. This increase is
primarily due to increasing debt service costs associated with DC WASA's capital improvement program. The FY 2011 operations
and maintenance budget (net of debt service, PILOT/ROW fee) increases by 4.1 percent, due primarily to projected increases in
water purchases (driven by additional costs to operate the new residuals processes), utilities (driven by electricity), and personnel
services cost. Specific information regarding each department is included in Section Vll.
Beginning in FY 2010, the ten-year financial plan reflects the following major assumptions:
. One to three percent Increase over approved FY 2010 levels in most expense categories, reflecting implementation of the Blue
Plains and other departmental internal improvement programs
- Beginning in FY 2014, operating expenses are projected to decrease by two point six zero percent, reflecting completion of
the digester facility. This facility is expected to provide operating and maintenance savings
. . Three percent increase in water purchase costs, based on historical Washington Aqueduct budget trends
' Payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) to the District of Columbia increases at the same rate as DC WASA retail rate increases, in
accordance withr.the memorandum of understanding with the District
. The net right of way payment to the District of Columbia stays level at $5.1 million through FY 2013 consistent with the
memorandum of understanding with the District
