3. Item #I 1 ('Liquid Waste/Hazardous Wastes): In checking with Anoka County Environmental Services, Staff was informed that Alloy does not have a hazardous waste generators license. Alloy has also not been providing the City with copies of shipping manifests for hazardous wastes on a quarterly basis. 4. Item #I2 (Storage of Received Materials, Feedstock, Separated Materials, and Equipment): Exterior storage of materials has gone beyond the 30' x 50' area behind the building and is occurring on the total site. The activities in the work yard are visible to the public view. 5. Item #18: (Ash): The ash is being stored in a semi-trailer rather than a building while awaiting shipment off the site. 6. Item #I9 (Ash Disposal): At the time the conditional use permit was issued, the City was notified of the facility that would be accepting the ash. If that has changed, Alloy should provide the City the up to date information. 7. Item #25 (Water Quality): Staff doesn't have the expertise to determine whether or not this item is being complied with. 8. Item #26 (Screening): As mentioned earlier, there is a substantial mount of outside storage occurring and it is visible from 142nd, Ramsey Blvd., and Hwy. #10. 9. Item #35 (Fire Lanes): It is staff's opinion that clear fire lanes are not being maintained in the work yard. 10. Item #36 (Contingency Action Plan): AHoy has not filed a contingency action plan with the City. I 1. Item #38 (Trailer/Vehicle Storage): Staff noticed two or three trailers on the site. Alloy indicates that these u-ailers are used to store ash until shipping is warranted and to store materials received that are incidental to the aluminum processing until enough has accumulated to warrant transfer to a recycling facility. If this is the case, then it would appear that these trailers are not being used for permanent long term storage. 12. Item g42 (Work and Storage Operations Enclosed): Requiring all operations and storage to be in an enclosed building conflicts with Item #26 that requires screening of outside storage and Item #12 that limits outside storage to a 30' x 50' area. These terms of the conditional use permit need some refining. Recommendation: City Staff recommends tabling any action on the conditional use permit amendment request until Alloy Recovery verifies compliance with permitting requirements of regulatory agencies. However, if the Commission wishes to proceed, there are proposed findings of fact and Conditional use permit for consideration. Commission Action: Will be based on your discussion. PC: 3/4/96 72.
