Mr. Miller replied that the Ramsey operation is a facility for waste tires recently generated. <br />The tires accepted at the site will be monitored on a weekly basis and the operation will be <br />tied into the landfill permit at the County level. The County would then have the ability to <br />revoke the landfill permit ff the tire processing permit is violated. <br /> <br />Kay McCulley - Inquired as to what will happen to the tire processing operation when the <br />landfill closes. <br /> <br />Mr. Miller stated that WMMI is applying for a 3 year conditional use permit with options <br />for four 6 month extensions. At the end of the landfill operation, the tire shredder would <br />have to be placed in a permanent location and housed. Continuing the tire processing <br />operation and placing the shredder in a permanent location will depend on the market, <br />which WMMi plans to help develop, after the tire dumps in the State are cleaned up. <br /> <br />Sharon Dahlgren - Inquired if the by-products of shredded tires are combustible. <br /> <br />Mr. Miller replied that he does not 'know the answer to by-product combustion. <br /> <br />Sharon Dahlgren - Noted that the State is also entertaining the idea of burning tires. <br /> <br />Mr. Miller replied that burning would be a test bum under State emission controls. <br /> <br />Sharon Dahlgren - Referred to Mr. Miller's earlier comment indicating that tire chips burn <br />cleaner than coal and inquired if those studies were based on hard or soft coal. <br /> <br />Mr. Miller replied that he did not 'know if the chips were compared to hard or soft coal but <br />agreed that it does make a difference. <br /> <br />Douglas Fountain - 15255 Garnet Street N.W. ~ Stated that he visited the site, watched the <br />tire shredding operation and was pleased with what he saw. Mr. Fountain also noted that <br />Council set a precedent with Atlas' request for a conditional use permit and suggested that <br />the City table WMMI's request until ordinances are developed regulating these types of <br />llses. <br /> <br />Mr. Jack Ippel - 16447 Jaspar Street N.W. - Requested that Mr..Miller translate 60 tons of <br />tire chips into tmc 'kload terms as there is a lot less volume to chips than whole tires. <br /> <br />Mr. Miller replied that he did not 'know how many truckloads there are with 60 tons of tire <br />chips but he does not there will be an increae of truck traffic to the site. Permit provisions <br />provide for only using Hwy. #10 and Sunfish Lake Blvd. for truck traffic. Physically, the <br />facility cannot handle any more than 12 senti-loads in an), 2-2.5 day per/od. <br /> <br />William Rybak - Inquired ff delivery of tires to the site will be by appointment. <br /> <br />Mr. Miller noted that the site will be open to the public and for that reason it is difficult to <br />handle tire disposal by appointment. In order to prevent the public from going into the <br />commercial area of the site, a roll-off box will be provided for tire disposal and then <br />=ansported to the commercial area. A policy will be arranged with.larger commercial <br />accounts for the disposal of tires at the site. <br /> <br />Planning & Zoning Public Hearin ~,d2Vlarch 7, 1989 <br /> Page 4 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
