The Sewer Availability Charge (SAC) is a fee for wastewater capacity or d�mand, which has been levied
on alt communities by MCES (and its predecessor agencies) since 1973 for increased demand by users
of the Metropolitan Disposal System. 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. For more information, calt MnTAP at (612) 624-1300. _

SAC equivalent of the July 01 to December 31, 2013 69 Unit(s)
Self-Monitoring Report.
(Total wastewater volumeltotal number of
operating days equals average daily waste-
water volume. Each SAC unit equals 274 gallons)
Assigned SAC Baseline Value 356 Urrit(s)
(MCES policy determined the SAC baseline
value to be the SAC equivalent of the volume
reported in the final self-monitoring report
for 1991. 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.

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
