§ 153.070 DEGRADATION COSTS.
   (A)   The formula for degradation costs is provided in Table 1 – 30-year design standard. Table 2 illustrates a hypothetical calculation.
      (1)   Table 1: Cost of recovery method (30-year street design standard)
 
Cost of Recovery Method (30-Year Street Design Standard)
Cost per square yard for streets, overlays and sealcoats
X depreciation rate X area of influence (1)

Cost of Recovery Method (30-Year Street Design Standard)
(1) Area of influence is equal to area of the cut plus 3 feet on each side (expressed in square yards)
(2) Depreciation rates are based on a 30-year street design standard. Depreciation for the first 5 years is 1% per year, followed by straight line depreciation less 15% for the remaining street design standard (25 years).
(3) Depreciation can occur at 1% per year after this time for up to 15 years or street reconstruction, whichever occurs first.
 
      (2)   Table 2: Recommended cost of recovery method.
Recommended Cost of Recovery Method
Cost per square yard for streets, overlays and sealcoats
X depreciation rate X area of influence (1)
Example
   Assumptions:       Street is 16 years old
Overlay is 5 years old
Sealcoat is 1 year old
Area of cut = 3 feet x 3 feet
Area of influence   =   9 feet x 9 feet = 81 feet
=   9 square yards
