Mr. Miller rcplied that MMCD's letter also indicates that thc likelihood of mosquitos <br />hatching is minimal when tires arc stored in direct sunlight. <br /> <br />Mr. Edward Moersfelder (attorney representing Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc.) <br />then rem the letter from MMCD dated March 1, 1989. <br /> <br />Kay McCulley - 1~,.431 Wolfram - Noted that when Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc. <br />purchased the Anoka Sanitary Regional Landfill, the rates for disposal increased <br />considerably and inquired as to what would prevent WMMI from increasing tire disposal <br />rates in the same way. <br /> <br />Mr. Miller stated that WMMI can reduce tire disposal rates from $5-$7 to $1-$2 because <br />WMM/will now process the tires rather than transporting them to a processor. The cost <br />for operating a tire processing facility will probably increase in the future but V~%'IlvlI's <br />rates for tire disposal will have to remain competiwe in order to get the tires in at their <br />facility. <br /> <br />Kay McCulley - Inquired as to why there is a shredder operating on the site nov,' before all <br />permits are obtained. <br /> <br />Mr. Miller replied that the shredder is being tested with regard to tire material, shape and <br />size. The Stated has also granted a provisional permit for the operation. <br /> <br />Kay McCulley - Inquired if residue is put into the air from the shredding process. <br /> <br />Mr. Miller replied that to his knowledge, there is no residue put into the air from the <br />shredding process. There is a small amount of crumb rubber that drops onto the ground <br />but that is shoveled up. <br /> <br />Sharon Dahlgren - 6.~:-8 143rd Lane - Inquired as to the success rates of other tire <br />shredding operations in the State. <br /> <br />Mr. Miller replied that the operation in Babbit, Minnesota is a crumb rubber processing <br />plant which transforms rubber crumbs into a by product for use in making new rubber <br />products; he d~s know the status of that operation. The State has ceased the shredding <br />operation in Mo, a, Minnesota because of financial m~hanisms that need to be put in place. <br /> <br />Sharon Dahlgren - Inquired as to the D'pe of shredder WMMI vail be using. <br /> <br />lvlr. Miller repli~ that after a considerable amount of research, the WSIMI corporate office <br />selected the Columbus McKinnon shredder and pumhase 9 machines for use throughout <br />the U.S. Shredders do require a lot of maintenance but WSil~iI is committed to cleaning up <br />the stockpiled ti"e skuation in Minnesota and will continue to re, dew various D.'pes of <br />equipment on an ongoing basis. <br /> <br />Kay McCulley - Noted that Iv[,-. Miller has indicated that the State can shut down the <br />operation if mom than 70,0(>0 tires are found on site; the fn:e at the fire dump in Andover is <br />an indication of the State's monitoring and enforcemen: practices. <br /> <br />Planning & Zoning Public Heem-ing¢'la.,~h 7, !989 <br /> Page 3 of 7 <br /> <br />13'7 <br /> <br /> <br />
