SAC is a"connection" fee which has been levied since 1973 for new connecdons or incneased volume discharged by eacisting users to the Meuropolitan Disposal System (MDS). SAC revenue is used to pay for the unused reserve capacity pomion of debt service for capital impmvements. The wastewater volume review serves as a method for detecting wastewater volume increases from a facility. Current wastewater volumes are converted to a SAC equivalent and compared to a SAC baseline value. Any increases over the baseline value, or the value for SAC credits, whichever is greater, have the potential to be assessed SAC. Three years ago, a wastewater volume review for your faciliry took pJace. At tbat time, wastewater volumes firom your facility were notefl to be below SAC baseline and/or SAC credit levels. A current evaluation of wastewater flows from your facility indicates that discharge volumes remain below the SAC baseline. Please find enclosed a Wastewater Volume Review Workshcex specifying the results of the review. City of Fagan will not be required to purchase additional SAC at this time. If you have questions, please call Michael V. Flaherty at 651-602-4715. Sincerely, , Leo H. Hermes, P.E.

Q Date r? ? ? Metropolitan Council EnuironmentaL Seruices June 30, 2006 Tom Colbert - - City of Eagan .; ,. 3501 Coachman Point Eagan, IVIN, 55122 Dear Mr. Colbert: This letter is a follow-up to the letter sent on October 31, 2005 regazding a preliminary volume review for the Service Availability Charge (SAC) system for Permit Number 985 located at 3419 Coachman Road, Eagan, 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 SAC liability of 87 units (equivalent to $134,850 at the 2006 MCES SAC rate of $1,550 per unit). Note that the SAC rate is subject to increase each January, and all SAC payments are at the rate in effect at the time of payment. SAC payment is due at the end of the month following receipt of your renewed pernut, but can be paid at any time up to that point. The SAC intent form that you completed and returned, indicated your city planned on conducting process changes followed by a volume study. At this point, you have two options. First you may pay SAC equivalent to the increase in dischazge to the sanitary sewer based on the preliminary volume review, or documented dischazge volume from a 30 day volume study. If you choose this option, a"SAC Payment Form" will be enclosed with your renewed Industrial Dischatge Permit. The form must be completed by a city representative indicating that SAC was paid. Your second option is to still 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 August 31, 2006. Guidelines for completing the wastewater volume study aze attached. Based on the results of the study, MCES will determine a current SAC equivalent of your wastewater flow. To determine your firm's SAC liability, 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 Industrial Discharge Peimit, and the above described method for completing the form and payment of SAC will be applied. At this time, no money should 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 noti£ied in the future of any change in policy which might affect the status of this or future SAC reviews. xwu•.metror.nuncil. org Metro Inf'o Llne 6021888 230 Easl F7Rh StruL • SG Paul, Mtnnesuta 5510 7-1626 • (65IJ 60'1-1006 • Fax 602-1138 • TTY 291-0904 it Tom Colbert 6/30/06 Page 2 Minnesota Technical Assistance Program (MnTAP) offers assistance to industries with pollution prevention concerns, including the reduction of wastewater volumes.

Special conditions, other than those specified in these guidelines, may apply to your facility. - The wastewater volume study shall consist of a minimum of 30 oQerating days of actual, or estimated discharge volume data acquired through the use of incoming water meter(s) and/or from a wastewater flow measuring device(s). - The volume study may be conducted at any time, but results must be submitted to MCES no later than 60 days prior to permit renewal. - Deduct meters, such as lawn sprinkling, evaporation, and product uses that exist at the facility, shall be included in the study as water losses. If these losses cannot be accounted for by meter, the Permittee shall submit to MCES engineering calculations estimating these losses, and/or conduct flow measuring of the losses at an MCES approved location. - All supporting information used to determine the actual, or calculated daily wastewater flow volumes shall be submitted for each dav of the study. Also, indicate the daily activity taking place at the facility during the study (e.g, full operation, cooling water, clean up). - Please account for any unusual events, such as a spill, or batch discharge, that occurred during the volume study time frame. The results of this study shall be submitted to MCES by 8/31/06. MCES staff will determine a SAC equivalent based on the average of the 30 daily wastewater discharge volumes. MCES reserves the right to conduct additional discharge volume monitoring if deemed necessary. Send to: Metropolitan Council Environmental Services Industrial Waste & Pollution Prevention 230 E.

Eagan, MN 55122 ATTTI: Tom Colbert Environmental Services Re: Wastewater Volume Review for Permit Number 985 Located at 3419 Coachman Road, Eagan, MN As part ofthe MCES Service Availability Charge (SAC) policy, all industries holding an "Industrial Discharge PermiY' are subject to a wastewater volume review one year prior to the expiration of their pernut. SAC is a"connection" fee which has been levied since 1973 for new wnnections or increased volume discharged by existing users to the Metropolitan Disposal System (MD5). SAC revenue is used to pay for the unused reserve capacity portion of debt service for capital improvements. The wastewater volume review serves as a method for detecting wastewater volume increases from a facility. Curzent wastewater volumes aze converted to a SAC equivalent and compazed to a SAC baseline value. Any increases over the baseline value, or the value for SAC credits, whichever is greater, have the potential to be assessed SAC. Tlvee yeazs ago, a wastewater volume review for your facility took place. At that time, wastewater volumes from your facility were ttoted to be below SAC baseline andlor SAC credit levels. For City of Eagaq the subsequent wastewater volume review for your facility has been completed. The preliminary evaluation of wastewater flows indicates an increased use of the sanitary sewer, above the SAC baseline and/or SAC credit levels, equivalent to 87 SAC units. Please refer to the attached "Wastewater Volume Revievi' for the results of the review. Based on the 2005 SAC rate of $1,450 per unit, this increase will result in a chazge of $126,150 due at the time of permit renewal. A follow-up letter will be mailed to you four months prior to pernvt renewal describing two options regazding a potential SAC payment. The first option will be to pay 5AC based on the preliminary volume review results and the SAC rate in effect at time of payment. The second option will be to conduct a 30-day wastewater volume study to determine the updated SAC equivalent of wastewater flows. The 5AC rate chazged is the rate in effect at the time of payment. The 2006 SAC rate is going to be $1,550 per unit. The volume study option will be beneficial to your company if you choose to initiate wastewater reduction measures to reduce or eliminate the amount of SAC due. A final enclosure is the "SAC Statement of Intent."
