C. Under the basic agreement, the district conveyed certain real property and assigned certain interests in real property to the county in order for the county to upgrade, operate and maintain the new facility.
D. The basic agreement requires the county to return to the district any real estate that is mutually determined to be unnecessary ("the remaining real property") for ongoing operation of the upgraded treatment plant.
