RE: Fly -ash Expansion Proposal -- 2008 withdrawal
Dear Chuck,
As you are aware, the City has received your letter from December 2nd , 2008 where Xcel
Energy has withdrawn its application for a possible expansion to the Moelter Fly -Ash
Disposal Bite. At this time the City will be closing the file on this project and will be
preparing final invoices to your attention for payment of costs incurred by the City for project
review. Should Xcel Energy desire to make modifications henceforth, a new application would
be required to be submitted and a new review process would begin.
Per our conversation, you indicated that you would also be withdrawing any and all
applications to the P A rel d to this expansion. If you would provide to me a copy of
your letter of hdrawal to ha agency it would be appreciated.
Best agar

Xcel Energy is formally withdrawing its application for an amended CUP which would allow for
the expansion of the A,S. lying Ash Disposal Facility, commonly referred to as the Moelter Pit.
Xcel Energy will continue to operate the facility under the requirements specified in the exist
CLIP and solid waste permits. Xcel Energy has repeatedly stated that the expansion served as
a safety net while we explored alternatives. At this time, Xcel Energy is confident in projected
ash utilization projects to the extent we cannot justify expansion casts.
I belleve the numerous discussions we have had with you, your staff' and the public have been
beneficial. We will be incorporating several changes into our 0 &M plan to m inimize our
impacts upon the community.
Please call lie (612 - 33o - 6082) if you have questio
Sincerely
