FINDING OF FACTS ON TAX ISSUES
14. It is appropriate to calculate income taxes based on the state
corporate income tax rate of 4%, effective January 1, 2016, and the statutory
federal corporate income taxes for the level of income after all adjustments.
15. Pursuant to House Bill 41 (HB 41) enacted on April 9, 2015, which
required that the Commission adjust rates set for water and wastewater companies
to reflect the repeal of the gross receipts tax and the reduction in the state
corporate income tax rate, and the Commission's June 30, 2014 Order in Docket
No. M-100, Sub 138, Sandler should refund to its customers the portion of rates
related to the repeal of the gross receipts tax and reduction in the state corporate
income tax. This refund should be made through a bill credit to each customer of
6.19% of the amount billed on and after July 1, 2014, until the new rates approved
in this docket go into effect.
EVIDENCE AND CONCLUSIONS FOR FINDINGS OF FACT NOS. 1-3
The evidence for these findings of fact is contained in the application and
the Commission's records. This evidence is uncontroverted.
EVIDENCE AND CONCLUSIONS FOR FINDINGS OF FACT NOS. 4-5
The evidence for these findings of fact is contained in the application, the
Commission's records, the testimony of the customers, the testimony of Sandler
witness Bill Freed, and the testimony of Public Staff Engineer McKemie.
Gary Lickfeld testified that he has experienced numerous service issues
over the past 13 years that he has been a Sandler customer. He testified in 2011
that the Air Vac valve pit package in his yard, serving his and his neighbors
0

uO
a
T-
c�
W
Ck
11

residences, was sinking into the ground. This resulted in sewage backups into the
toilets and bathtubs in both his and his neighbors residences. Mr. Lickfield testified
that sewer backups occur in Eagle Creek during periods of heavy rainfall.
Mr. Lickfeld further testified in February 2015 that he experienced more
sewage backups through his toilet and under the toilet. He testified that after
speaking with an Enviro-Tech employee, he purchased from Air Vac a backflow
valve for which materials and labor cost $300 to install.
Dixon Dreher testified that he has been a customer for more than 10 years
and that having served on the Board of Directors of the Homeowners Association
he knows sewage backups have occurred in the Greenview area and the Phase 2
and 3 areas.
Denise Hawley, the President of the homeowners association, testified she
was contacted in February 2015 by several residents from the Eagleton Circle area
when there was a major sewer backup into the ditches near their homes. She
testified Bill Freed's Enviro-Tech team did an awesome job correcting the problem.
She testified that during the February 2015 service problems, she learned the
wastewater collection system including the Air Vac valve pit packages haven't
been maintained over a period of time. She expressed the need for Sandler to fix
the Air Vac valve pit packages immediately and that there be put in place a
thorough maintenance plan.
Paul Griffith testified that several years ago he experienced sewage backing
up and coming out of the sewer service line valve (Candy Cane) in his yard.

John Fedele testified he has been a customer for more than 10 years and
although he has not experienced a sewage backup, he knows other customers
that have.
Public Staff Engineer McKemie testified describing the components of the
wastewater system. She testified the sewer system consists of a vacuum type
collection system with approximately 212 Air Vac pit packages located near the
property lines with most of these pits serving two houses. The wastewater from
the houses flows to the Air Vac valve pit package and then through a main vacuum
line to the wastewater treatment plant.
She further testified the wastewater treatment plant is a 350,000 gallon per
day (gpd) extended aeration plant currently limited to 175,000 gpd of flow until
certain improvements are made to the wastewater treatment plant.
Ms. McKemie testified that the permit also provides that prior to adding any
wastewater to the facility from other sources (outside Eagle Creek subdivision) the
permittee shall submit an updated or new agreement between Mill Run Golf Club
(Golf Club) and the permittee, with clear language specifying the wastewater from
new sources is allowed to be sprayed on the Mill Run Golf Club golf course (Golf
Course).
She testified that the permit allows for spray irrigation of 175,000 gpd of
effluent onto the Golf Course and 90,000 gpd into an infiltration pond. The effluent
is only sprayed on the golf course when it meets the required limits. Wastewater
effluent not meeting the limits is disposed of using only the infiltration pond.

Ms. McKemie further testified the Golf Club installed an irrigation system
with Sandler, as successor in interest to the original developer, to pay for the costs
of any upgrades needed because of the effluent disposal requirements. The Golf
Club accepts wastewater effluent generated only from the Eagle Creek subdivision
and the school.
Public Staff witness McKemie further testified that she reviewed the DWQ
inspection reports from 09/25/2012, 11/20/2013, and the most recent, dated
04/22/2015. The wastewater treatment plant has had continuous compliance
issues concerning the functioning of the disinfection equipment, and the proper
operation of the golf course spray system. DWQ continues to work with Sandler
to address these issues and bring the system into full compliance. She testified
these were also issues noted at the time of Sandler's last rate case. Additionally,
there was an incidence of a malfunction of the vacuum sewer collection system
which resulted in a sewage overflow into a customer's home on February 11, 2015.
Ms. McKemie testified on August 12, 2015, she met on -site with Bill Freed,
Operation in Responsible Charge, and David May and Allen Clark from the DWQ
Washington Regional Office. It was observed that the second bank of UV
disinfection was not operational. Also, she observed that there are some number
of Air Vac valve pit packages which are located in low areas. It was explained that
these Air Vac valve pit packages may fill with rain water during heavy rains. She
testified this results in a system malfunction, loss of vacuum and can even result
in sewage backing up in a home, when the sewage cannot drain into the system.

Ms. McKemie testified the Public Staff recommends that the Hearing
Examiner order that Sandler: (a) within 60 days of the effective date of the order
approving rate increase, physically inspect every Air Vac valve pit package and file
with the Commission a report on the status of every Air Vac valve pit package as
to whether the pit package is subject to rain water intrusion during heaving rains;
(b) within 150 days of the effective date of the rate increase order, complete
renovations to reduce the rain water intrusion, including but not limited to raising
and sealing pit packages subject to rain water intrusion; (c) within 180 days of the
effective date of the rate increase order, file a written report with the Commission
describing the completed renovations for each of the pit packages where
renovations are necessary.
Ms. McKemie further stated the continued problems with the second bank
of UV lights are unacceptable and must be remedied within six months of the
effective date of the rate increase order.
Bill Freed, the President of Enviro-Tech, testified he has 30 year's
experience operating wastewater treatment systems and is a Grade 4 wastewater
treatment plant operator, which is the highest grade in North Carolina. He testified
there are 212 Air Vac valve pit packages and four to five miles of collection pipe
that has to be maintained under 20 to 22 inches of vacuum 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week for the system to operate properly. He testified if water gets in the valve
and it sticks open, or the valve wears out and sticks open, or the valve sticks open
for any reason, the entire collection system will lose vacuum.

Mr. Freed testified that when a valve starts leaking, the clock starts and if
that valve is not discovered and repaired within an hour to an hour and a half, other
pit package valves are going to fail the same way. He testified it is urgent that his
men hurry to find the leaking valve and get it stopped.
The Hearing Examiner concludes that the service provided is only
marginally adequate despite the very able and conscientious work by Enviro-Tech,
the contract operator. Sandler needs to materially increase its maintenance and
repair of the Air Vac valve pit packages and institute a system wide thorough
maintenance plan. The Air Vac valve pit package and candy cane service line
valve sewage overflows, and the sewage backups into houses are unacceptable.
The uncontroverted testimony was that if water gets in the valve of the Air
Vac valve pit packages and the valve sticks open, or the valve wears out and sticks
open, or the valve sticks open for any reason, the entire collection system will lose
vacuum and fail to transport the sewage. The uncontroverted testimony was that
when a valve in an Air Vac valve pit package starts leaking, that valve must be
discovered and repaired within an hour or an hour and a half, or other pit package
valves will fail the same way, causing collection system failure.
The Hearing Examiner concludes that the Public Staff recommendations
that Sandler physically inspect all 212 Air Vac valve pit packages and complete
necessary renovations to reduce rain water intrusion will be helpful to reduce future
Air Vac valve pit package valve sticking open failures, but additional renovations
are needed in order to minimize the impact on the remainder of the collection
system from the one failed valve sticking open.

The Hearing Examiner concludes that in addition to the Public Staff
recommended Air Vac valve pit package inspections and renovations, and the
Public Staff recommended and DWQ required renovations to the second bank of
UV lights, that Sandler must within sixty days of the effective date of this order, file
with the Commission a detailed plan for the isolation of sections of the Eagle Creek
sewer collection system, including the installation of isolation valves to minimize
the system wide impact of Air Vac valve pit package valves sticking open, and also
plans for the installation of any other necessary equipment to prevent the collection
system losing its vacuum. The Hearing Examiner concludes that Sandler shall
complete the necessary installations to achieve the isolation of collection system
sections and installation of additional equipment to prevent the loss of collection
system vacuum, within 150 days of the effective date of this order.
EVIDENCE AND CONCLUSIONS FOR FINDINGS OF FACT NOS. 6-7
The evidence for these findings of fact is contained in the Application, the
records of the Commission, and the testimony of Public Staff Engineer McKemie
and Public Staff Accountant Morgan. This evidence is uncontroverted. The
service revenues under present and Sandler proposed rates are stated on page 9
of McKemie's pre -filed testimony, and the uncollectibles are reflected on Morgan
Exhibit 1, Schedule 3.
EVIDENCE AND CONCLUSIONS FOR FINDINGS OF FACT NOS. 8-9
The evidence for these findings of fact is contained in the testimony of
Public Staff Accountant Morgan. This evidence is uncontroverted. The original

cost rate base of $117,951 and the reasonable level of operating expenses of
$212,912 are set forth in Morgan Exhibit 1 Schedules 2 and 3.
Based on the foregoing, the Hearing Examiner finds and concludes that the
Company's reasonable original cost rate base is $117,951.
EVIDENCE AND CONCLUSIONS FOR FINDING OF FACT NO. 10
The evidence for this finding of fact is contained in the testimony of Public
Staff Accountant Morgan in Morgan Exhibit 1, Schedule 3. This evidence is
uncontroverted.
EVIDENCE AND CONCLUSIONS FOR FINDING OF FACT NO. 11
The evidence for the operating revenue deductions requiring a return
totaling $250,146 is found in the testimony of Public Staff Accountant Morgan,
Morgan Exhibit 1, Schedule 1, Line 2, column (c).
The evidence for the remainder of this finding of fact is contained in the
affidavit of Public Staff witness Craig.
In his affidavit, Mr. Craig recommends using the operating ratio method for
determining the overall fair rate of return in this proceeding pursuant to G.S. 62-
133.1(a). Sandler did not oppose the use of the operating ratio method for
determining the overall fair rate of return in this proceeding pursuant to G.S. 62-
133.1(a).
The Hearing Examiner has carefully considered the evidence and
concludes that the operating ratio methodology as described in G.S. 62-133.1(a)
is reasonable for use in this proceeding.

In his affidavit, Mr. Craig recommended that the Company be granted a
7.50% margin on expenses. His recommendation would produce operating ratios
of 93.14% (including taxes) and 93.02% (excluding taxes) for the sewer utility 0
service. Mr. Craig stated in his affidavit that he derived a margin on expenses by
identifying a risk -free rate of 4.5% and adding a 3.0% risk factor. This method u,
a
yielded Mr. Craig's recommended margin on expenses of 7.50%. Mr. Craig further `
a
stated in his affidavit that his methodology is consistent with the method presented
Ck
by the Public Staff and adopted by the Commission in Docket No. W-173, Sub 14
for the Montclair Water Company.
Based upon all the evidence in the record, the Hearing Examiner concludes
that a 7.50% margin on operating expenses requiring a return, as recommended
by the Public Staff, is appropriate in this proceeding.
EVIDENCE AND CONCLUSIONS FOR FINDINGS OF FACT NOS. 12-13
The evidence for these findings of fact is contained in the testimony of
Public Staff witnesses Morgan and McKemie.
Ms. Morgan's testimony and exhibits support her service revenue
requirement of $280,303. Ms. McKemie testified she examined Sandler's
customer billing records and recommended rates that will produce the service
revenue requirement. Sandler has agreed to accept the recommendation of the
Public Staff.
The Hearing Examiner concludes that the Public Staff recommended
revenue requirement and rates are reasonable and should be approved.
