CAPCITY DEMAND REVIEW - INDUSTRIAL DISCHARGE PERMIT RENEWAL
Industry Name Phillips and Temro Industries Inc
Permit Number 1174
Permit Expiration Date 11/30/2014
SAC equivalent of the January 01 to June 30, 2013 4 Unit(s)
Self- Monitoring Report.
(Total wastewater volume /total number of
operating days equals average daily waste-
water volume. Each SAC unit equals 274 gallons)
Assigned SAC Baseline Value 10 Unit(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.

RE: "Capacity Demand Review" for Permit Number 1174
Located at 5380 Cottonwood Lane Prior Lake, MN 55372
The Sewer Availability Charge (SAC) is a fee for wastewater capacity or demand, which has been levied on all of our
customer communities by MCES (and its predecessor agencies) since 1973 for new connections, or other increased
capacity demand by users of the Metropolitan Disposal System (MDS). SAC revenue is used to pay for a portion of
unused (or reserve) capacity of MDS capital improvements. While SAC is a metropolitan fee on our 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, facilities 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 to the "assigned SAC baseline" for the site. Any capacity demand increases beyond that baseline have
the potential to cause assessment of additional SAC. Note also, that building activity may incur additional SAC
liability.
Three years ago, a "Capacity Demand Review" for your facility took place. At that time, wastewater volumes from
your facility were noted to be below the "assigned SAC baseline" for this permit, so no additional SAC was required
from the community and no change to the "assigned SAC baseline" occurred.
A current evaluation of wastewater demand from your facility indicates capacity demand now remains below the
"assigned SAC baseline." Please find enclosed a "Capacity Demand Review" specifying the results. Thus the
community for Phillips and Temro Industries Inc will not be required to pay additional SAC based on this process
review. If you have any questions, please contact Robert Nordquist at (651) 602 -4706 or via e-mail at
robert.nordquist@metc.state.mn.us.
