�� Nletropolitan Council ii Environmental Seruices August 31, 2009 i Scott Oberaigner Utilities Supervisor I City of Orono POBox66 Crystal Bay, MN, 55323 Dear Mr. Oberaigner: �' This letter is a follow-up to the letter sent on December 31, 2008 regarding a preliminary volume � review for the Service Availability Charge (SAC) system for Pennit Number 1006 located at 2345 Blaine Avenue, Orono, MN. In that letter, you were notified that your city has increased its � wastewater discharge to the sanitary sewer. As a result, your city could be subject to a potential j SAC liability of 3 units e uivalent to $6 000 at the 2 � q , 009 MCES SAC rate of$2,000 per umt). i Note that the SAC rate is subject to increase each January, and all SAC payments are at the rate in j effect a� the time of payment. SAC payment is due at the end of the month fallowing receipt of ,� your renewed permit,but can be paid at any time up to that point. MCES never received the SAC intent form attached to the above letter. At this point, you have two I options. First you may pay SAC equivalent to the increase in discharge to the sanitary sewer based on the preliminaiy volume review, or documented discharge volume from a 30 day volume study. i If you choose this option, a "SAC Payment Form" will be enclosed with your renewed Industrial � Discharge Permit. The form must be completed by a city representative indicating that SAC was � paid. Your second option is to siill conduct a 30-day wastewater volume study. If you choose this option, � please inform the engineer referenced below. The study must be completed and results submitted to � Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) by Oct�ber 31, 2009. Based on the results � of the study,MCES will determine a current SAC equivalent of your wastewater flow. To determine your city's SAC Iiability, MCES will use the lesser SAC equivalent of the ,. preliminary volume review and the 30-day wastewater volume study. If a SAC payment is required, a"SAC Payment Form" will be enclosed with your renewed Tndustrial Discharge Permit, ! and the above described method for completing the form and payment of SAC will be applied. At this time, no money shauld be sent to our offices. SAC payment shall be made to the city using : the "SAC Payment Form." Please be aware of the fact that the information contained in this letter is accurate under the current SAC policy. You will be notified in the future of any change in policy which might affect the status of this or future SAC reviews.
