25 THE LIVERMORE-AMADOR VALLEY WATER MANAGEMENT AGENCY General LAVWMA owns, operates and maintains an export pipeline and related facilities for wastewater disposal that benefit DSRSD, Pleasanton and Livermore. LAVWMA was created on June 18, 1974, by a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, most recently in the form of an Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the Livermore-Amador Valley Water Management Agency, dated September 10, 1997 (the “Joint Powers Agreement”), among the Members and LAVWMA. The Joint Powers Agreement was executed pursuant to the provisions of Article 4 of the Government Code of the State governing joint exercise of powers agencies (commencing with Section 6584) (the “Joint Exercise of Powers Act”). LAVWMA was created for the purpose of providing for the construction, operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of LAVWMA facilities for wastewater disposal to serve the general plans of Livermore and Pleasanton and the general plans of the planning agencies that DSRSD serves. The Joint Powers Agreement may be amended at any time by the written agreement of all the parties. The withdrawal of a Member from LAVWMA is only permitted upon payment in full or defeasance of any revenue bonds or other obligations, such as installment sale agreements or certificates of participation, of LAVWMA. Under the Sewer Service Contract, the Members have covenanted that they will not amend the Joint Powers Agreement so as to materially affect the holders of the Bonds. The Livermore-Amador Valley is located approximately 30 miles east of the San Francisco Bay. Prior to the late 1960s, the Valley was primarily rural. Around that time, the area began to develop with residential, commercial, and industrial land uses leading to increased demand for wastewater treatment and disposal. In 1974, Livermore, Pleasanton and DSRSD (then known as the Valley Community Services District) formed LAVWMA as a means of developing joint solutions for wastewater disposal needs among the member agencies. On the basis of disposal studies, LAVWMA decided to export wastewater to the EBDA interceptor pipeline for ultimate discharge to San Francisco Bay via a deepwater outfall. The original LAVWMA export pipeline system was constructed in 1979 and upgraded in 1986 and in 2001 to result in a contractual capacity limit of 41.2 mgd, which is sufficient to serve the current planned build out of all three Members.
