Industrial Wastewater:Any solid, liquid or gaseous wastes, excluding domestic waste,resulting from any industrial,manufacturing, Commercial, institutional or business activity, or from the development,recovery,or processing of a natural resource.Any waste that is transported by a liquid waste hauler and disposed into public sewers is Industrial Wastewater. Any Leachate, contaminated groundwater,or surface water,with the exception of Inflow and Infiltration of clear water disposed into public sewers, is Industrial Wastewater. Inflow and Infiltration (UI):Infiltration is clear groundwater that seeps into sewer pipes through cracks or joints in the pipes and inflow typically originates from a single point,i.e. sump pumps, foundation drains, or storm water entering openings in the sewer access covers. MCES design standards allow for a certain amount of I/I;the remainder is excess I/I that reduces the capacity of the MDS and is subject to surcharge by MCES. See http://metrocouncil.org/Wastewater- Water/Funding-Finance/Rates-Charges/MCES-Inflow-and-lnfiltration-(1-1)-Program.aspx Leachate:Liquid that has originated within or has percolated through refuse or the protective cover of a landfill. Local Government Unit:See "Customer Community. " Local SAC:The actual total fee paid by or for the property or business owner(s)to the Community, which may include Metropolitan Council SAC passed on by the Community and any local add- on charges. These fees vary widely between Communities and could add substantially to the total SAC costs of a property or business owner. Long Continuous Demand:See "Continuous Demand. " Look-Back Period(LBP):This definition was used between 2010-2012,but is no longer used.The LBP was the period of time prior to a Determination that MCES looked at demand to determine applicable Credits when a SAC Determination occurred.The LBP was the seven full years prior to the new SAC Determination or permit issuance and that part of the current year up to the Determination or permit issuance.For example, if a permit was issued in July 2012,the LBP would have gone back to January 1,2005 (seven calendar years plus the portion of the year 2012). Maximum Demand:For Residential Properties this is 1 SAC unit=274 gallons per day of capacity availability. For Commercial Properties it is the highest Capacity Demand in SAC units,based on the actual SAC paid for the site at any time, less any SAC Credits removed from the Site by the Community. In addition,two unpaid Non-Conforming situations are recognized as establishing the demand(for possible Credit)on a Site.These Non-Conforming situations are: Grandparent Demand that has been in existence when SAC started(1973,with evidence from 1968-1978) and a Long Continuous Demand on a Site. In a Grandparent Demand situation it is also possible that a Community removed some Credits,reducing the capacity recognized for a Site. For Industrial Properties it is the Assigned SAC Baseline which is the highest recognized demand determined during a Capacity Demand Review or a special review that resulted in additional SAC being paid after the most recent Capacity Demand Review. Metropolitan Area:The seven county Metropolitan Area over which the Council has statutory jurisdiction pursuant to Minnesota Statutes section 473.121,as may be amended from time to time.Hanover and Rockford(in Hennepin County),New Prague(in Scott County), and Northfield(in Dakota County)are currently excluded from the Metropolitan Area.
