Subject to our concerns provided to your office dated Dec 1s 2004 (Air Emissions Permit comments
Permit #16300005-005) that the MPCA require in its Permit that Xcel Energy provide affirmative
documentation that all local permits have been secured from the local unit of government prior to the
MPCA's issuance of the above Permit; the City is hereby informing your office that as of the date of this
letter, Xcel Energy has not secured the necessary local building permits that are required and necessary for
the installation of the footings and foundations for all anticipated equipment and/or other buildings and
infrastructure as contemplated in the MERP project.
Xcel Energy is working proactively with city staff to submit required information and secure the needed
permits. We hope to issue these permits in the near future when complete applications are received. 1 will
provide affirmative correspondence to your office when Xcel has in fact secured the appropriate building
pennits.
Please let me know if yo
