SAC revenue is used to pay for a portion of MCES's capital improvements. While SAC is a metropolitan fee on communities, it is calculated based on the capacity demand of each specific facility. Typically, communities pass this fee through to the property owner or business involved. MCES directly administers SAC procedures related to industrial permittees of MCES. As part of the SAC policy, industries holding an Industrial Discharge Permit are subject to a "Capacity Demand Review" one year prior to expiration of their permit. The "Capacity Demand Review" serves as a method to detect demand increases (indicated by recent volume measurements) from the processes of a facility and to encourage reductions if increases have occurred. Current wastewater volumes are converted to a SAC demand equivalent and compared#o the "assigned SAC baseline"for the site. Any capacity demand'increases beyondthat baseline have the potential to cause assessment of additional SAC. Note also, that building activity may incur additional SAC liability. � MCES has confirmed the payment of 356 SAC in July of 1985 for your property. This information has been used to establish the "assigned SAC baseline" for your facility. Please find enclosed an "Assigned SAC Baseline Worksheet" for your files. A preliminary "Capacity Demand Review" has been completed for your facility. The results indicate that current capacity demand does not exceed the minimum "assigned SAC baseline." Your community will not be required to pay additional SAC at this time for wastewater demand originating from your facility. Please refer to the attached "Capacity Demand Review" for the results. Please be aware the information contained in this letter is accurate under the Metropolitan Council's current SAC policy. Feel free to check with us at any time about changes in policy that may be adopted, pending or that are being publicly contemplated. Minnesota Technical Assistance Program (MnTAP) offers assistance to industries with pollution prevention concerns, including the reduction of wastewatervolumes. The services provided by MnTAP are free.

The assigned SAC baseline value represents the SAC baseline value, plus any SAC units paid after the 1991 baseline date, or the value for SAC credits*, whichever is greater.) Current wastewater volumes do not exceed the assigned baseline value. The permit renewal process will follow past procedures. This review is complete. * MCES SAC payment records may not be current, therefore, the credit value may be revised to account for unidentified credits, if the permittee can provide proof of their existence. � �..�° 3o I Reviewe =by Date � , March 11, 2014 UPS - Eagan 555 Opperman Drive Eagan, MN 55121 Permit Number 1474 SAC Baseline Worksheet This worksheet calculates the SAC equivalent of the average daily volume of wastewater discharged during the JUL-DEC 1991 reporting period. No data was available from your facility for this time period. The baseline value, therefore, will be equal to the amount of SAC paid. It will be used during the "Industrial Discharge Permit" renewal procedure to identify increased use of the Metropolitan Disposal System and to recover Service Availability Charges for the increased use. UPS paid a total of 356 SAC units in July of 1985 assigned SAC baseline = 356
