Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES):The division of the Metropolitan Council (Council)responsible for the regional wastewater conveyance and treatment operations, Industrial Wastewater management,water quality monitoring and water supply planning. Metropolitan Disposal System (MDS):All facilities(e.g.pipes,meters, lift stations or wastewater treatment plants)that are part of MCES' sewer service area and owned by the Council. These are generally the wastewater treatment plants and related conveyance systems in the Metropolitan Area. Net Credit:This is a SAC Credit,based on SAC previously paid, over the amount needed on a Site being redeveloped.At a Communities' option,these are allowed to be accumulated throughout the Community(Community-Wide Credits)or retained for the future use on the Site from which they are derived(Site-Specific).Note that no Net Credits are derived from Non-Conforming Continuous Demand(i.e.where SAC was not paid).Net Credit from Non-Conforming Grandparent Demand is allowed to be retained for future use on the Site but only for 5 years after a redetermination first uncovers the Grandparent situation. Net SAC:The gross SAC Determination charge for the use being permitted less any applicable Credits.Net SAC units are rounded to the nearest whole number(i.e. 2.49 is rounded to 2, while 2.50 is rounded to 3).A Determination that includes a new building replacing a demolished building shall have each of the new and demolished buildings rounded to the nearest whole number. (i.e.A new 2 SAC park shelter is replacing a 1 SAC demolished park shelter; both the new and the demolished building is rounded to the nearest whole number to calculate the Net SAC.) New Use:The redevelopment of a property for a different use,as evidenced by: i)a building permit; ii)other type of permit or license issued by a Community; or iii)certain other official governmental actions, subject to MCES approval. Previously approved other official actions and the evidence presented to MCES have included: i)expenses to pave a Site as a parking lot; ii)a resolution by a Community to designate a Site as park land; iii)approval as a right-of-way for a road; iv)evidence that the Site is unbuildable under Community codes; v)zoning and Comprehensive Plan changes for a Site that limit the future use; and vi)water-use restrictions that limit the use of the property approved by Community Council resolution or Community Ordinance. A subdivision of a parcel into multiple parcels for redevelopment does not constitute a New Use. Non-Conforming Credit:Either a Continuous Demand or Grandparent Credit. Permitted Industrial User:Any user of the MDS who discharges Industrial Wastewater is subject to MCES permitting requirements. The user shall complete an Industrial Discharge Permit application or Wastewater Discharge Survey, as required by MCES. Phased Development:Any area where the Community or developer is formally redeveloping a defined contiguous area with multiple properties over an extended period of time. See rules at 5.4.3. Phased Development Plans:These plans generally must include: the geographical area being redeveloped;the number,type and location of the properties; number of potential Credits; type of development planned(including identification of buildings expected to include Process Discharge from industrial development); and the expected year of development for each phase/area.
