Policy Plan Revisions And System In/onaatlon InfonuiCion in this section is based upon Che revi.sed Water Resources Management. Part 1. Wastewater Treatment and Handling. Policy Plan. September, 1988 (copy enclosed). The Policy Plan should be consulted by Orono in preparing an amendaenc to the sewer element (sewer policy plan) of its comprehensive plan. Of particular importance to Orono will be the policies related to water quality and sanitary sewer services, and the "Content Requirements for Local Sewer Plans," (see Section C below). 1. Metropolitan Service (Developing Area) The forecasts of population, households, employment, and wastewater flows for Orono as contained in Che adopted Wastewater Treatment and Handling PollCY Plan are listed below. These forecasts are for sewered development. The sewered housing forecasts were calculated by multiplying the Council's household forecasts for each year by the vacancy ratio for each community. The community's projected total population, households, and employment fo 1990 and 2000, as indicated later in Part III, could bo somewhat different due to the development served by on-site sewage disposal systems or private treatment plants.

As stated in the MDIF, the Ccuncll will vary local flow projections based on verified growth ss well as the lack of growth. As stated in the revised policy plan, flow projections do not represent an allocation of interceptor capacity except in the event a teisporary system constraint occurs. II 1 iJfebm
