Kalt~ would be leasing a portion of Waste Management's property for this demonsla~ation project. Ms. Frolik informed Council that the demonstration facility consists of an 8,400 square foot pole barn for housing a fuel cell, gas processing equipment and support equipment. Two mobile type structures would also be brought onto the site to provide Office and bathroom facilities for site personnel. Access to the site will be from the existing landfill entrance. Following the completion of the demonstration project, all structures, equipment and materials will be removed from the property. The demonstration project proposes to have the equipment operational for a period of 4,000 hours (six months).: The CUP is written for a one-year term to allow sufficient time for site set-up and teardown in addition to the six months of demonstration testing. Mr. Stev0 Kollodge of Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc. and Mr. Charles Rippy of Kaltec of Minnesota, Inc. were present to describe the process and present a model of the facility.
