Redefining the Medium Strength customer class on the basis of flow would not allow recovery of the costs associated with higher pollutant loadings for j that class of customers, so no changes in response to this comment have been made. In addition, staff has contacted the individual to provide more information on the rate model and cost allocation model. E.
