RE: Pretreatment Program Local Limit Revision
Dear Mayor Schultz:
On January 6, 2014,the St.Cloud City Council approved an update to the St.Cloud Pretreatment
Program Local Limits. An evaluation of the Local Limits took place in 2013 and was approved by
the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency in March 2013. These updated limits were put into
practice upon approval by City Council.
Local Limits are derived from a mass balance of data collected from the influent, effluent and
biosolids at St.Cloud Wastewater Treatment Facility,as well as industrial user information.
The current Local Limits are enclosed and are required to be adopted by St.Joseph City Council
and any Industrial User Permits issued by the City of St. Joseph are required to be amended to
include the updated Local Limits no later than June 6,2014.
Please contact Emma Larson at(320)255-7226 or emma.larson @ci.stcloud.nln.us if you have
questions regarding these amendments.
