Re: Wastewater Volume Review for Permit Number 1174 - Located at 5380 Cottonwood Lane
As part of the MCFS Service Availability Charge (SAC) policy, all industries holding an
"Industrial Discharge Pennit" are subject to a wastewater volume review one year prior to the
expiration of their pennit. SAC is a "connection" fee which has been levied since 1973 for new
connections or increased volume discharged by existing users to the Metropolitan Disposal System
(MDS). 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 det..mog 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 facility took place. At that time, wastewater
volumes from your facility were noted 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" specifying the results of the review. Phillips
& Temro Industries Inc will not be required to pay additional SAC at this time. If you have
questions, please call Robert W. Nordquist at 651-602-4706.
Sincerely,

SAC equivalent of the Jan. - June, 2004
Self-Monitoring Report.
(Total wastewater volume/total number of
operating days equals average daily waste-
water volume. Each SAC unit equals 274 gallons)
2
Units
Modified SAC Baseline Value
(MCm policy detennined the SAC baseline
value to be the SAC equivalent of the volume
reported in the final self-monitoring report
for 1991. The modified 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.)
7
Units
Current wastewater volumes do not exceed the modified baseline value. The permit renewal
process will follow past procedures. This review is complete.
* MCm SAC payment records may not be current, therefore, the credit value may be revised to
account for unidentified credits, if the pennittee can provide proof of their existence.
