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 week]), basis and the operation will be <br />tied into the landf"fll permit at the County level. The Count>, would then have the abiliD~ to <br />revoke the landfill permit ff the tire processing permit is violated. <br /> <br />Kay McCulley - Inqufl'ed as to what will happen to the tire processing operation when the <br />landfill closes. <br /> <br />/,,ir. Miller stated that V~%4MI is applying for a 3 year conditional use permit v,.ith 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 - Inquked if the by-products of shredded tires are combustible. <br /> <br />Mr. Miller replied that he d~s 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 burn 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 />]Xir. Miller replied that he did not know if the chips were compared to hard or soft coal but <br />ageed that it d~s 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 tha <br />Council set a precedent with Atlas' request for a conditional use ~ermit and suggested Sat <br />the City table W!N,L~,II's request until ordinances are developed reg-ulating these types of <br />Bses. <br /> <br />Mr. Jack Ippel - 16447 Jaspar Street N.W. - Requested that l~,k. I~iiller translate 60 tons of <br />tire chips into truckload terms as there is a lot less volume to chips than whole tires. <br /> <br />Mr. Miller replied that he did not 'know how man), truckloads there are with 60 tons of tire <br />chips but he d~s not there will be an increae of truck trdfic to the site. Permit provisions <br />provide for only using Hwy, #10 and Sunfish Lake Blvd. for truck n-'affic. Physically, the <br />facili~, cannot handle any more than t2 semi-loads in an)' 2-2.5 day perioi <br /> <br />William Rybak - InquL-'~,..d ff delivery of tires to the site will be b.v appointment. <br /> <br />Nit. 5iiller noted that the site will ~ open to the public and for that reason it is difficult to <br />handle ti-e d.is¢osal by appoinnnent. In order to prevent the r)ublic from going into the <br />commercial area of the site, a roll-off box will be provided'for tire disposal and then <br />transported, to the commercial area. A policy will be arranged wi~ larger con-n'nercial <br />accounts for the disposal of fires at the site. <br /> <br />Planning & Zoning Public Hearin~dMarch 7, 1989 <br /> Page 4 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
