Box 340 <br /> Long Lake, MN 55356 <br /> ATTN: Gerald Nelson ,,► v .:_; <br /> Re: Wastewater Volume Review for Permit Number 386 Located at 2605 West Wayzata Boulevard <br /> As part of the MCES Service Availability Charge (SAC) policy, all industries holding an Industrial <br /> Discharge Permit are subject to a wastewater volume review one year prior to the expiration of their <br /> permit. SAC is a "connection" fee which has been levied since 1973 for new connections or increased <br /> volume discharged by existing users to the Metropolitan Disposal System (MDS). SAC revenue is used to <br /> pay for the unused reserve capacity portion of debt service for capital improvements. <br /> The wastewater volume review serves as a method for detecting wastewater volume increases from a <br /> facility. Current wastewater volumes are converted to a SAC equivalent and compared to a SAC baseline <br /> value. Any increases over the baseline value, or the value for SAC credits, whichever is greater, have the <br /> potential to be assessed SAC. <br /> Three years ago, the first wastewater volume review for your facility took place. At that time, wastewater <br /> volumes from your facility were noted to be below SAC baseline and/or SAC credit levels. A current <br /> evaluation of wastewater flows from your facility indicates that discharge volumes remain below the SAC <br /> baseline. <br /> Please find enclosed a Wastewater Volume Review Worksheet specifying the results of the review. <br /> Washington Scientific will not be required to purchase additional SAC at this time. <br /> If you have questions, please call Mark S. Pierson at(651) 602-4707. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> O 14. <br /> Leo H.
