FAA Advisory C~uiar (AC 150/5300 - 4B, ChanQe B) further identifies <br />sanitary Ian~f~iis as airport hazards. An airport hazard has a <br />substantial adverse effect upon the ~afe and efficient use of the <br />airport by aircra~~ and upon the safety of person~ and property located <br />on or near the airport. An airport hazard must be removed. <br /> <br />The narrative i~ the E]D correct)y quote~ FAA guidance conc~rning <br />sanitary landfills. Since the Anoka County Landfill meet~ the FAA <br />definition of an mirport hazard, it becomes the airport mponsor's <br />responsibility to prevent the construction, and alteration of an <br />airport hazard, and to restrict the use of land adjacent to or in the <br />immediate vicinity of the airport to activities and purpome~ compatible <br />with normal mirpprt operations including landing and takeoff of <br />aircraft. <br /> <br />City of Ramsey actions to restrict incompatible use of land nea~- the <br />airport are: <br /> <br />The Airport Safety Zoning Ordinance adopted by the city in <br /> <br /> 2. Conditional Use Permit between Waste Management of Minnesota <br />end the city of Ramsey which was executed on November 89, t988. <br /> <br />The current status of the above actions are that the Airport Safety <br />Zoning Ordinance was repealed on April 19, 1988 by a city referendum. <br />Tnm conditional use permit extends the existing landfill operating life <br />to three years with possibility for extensions limited to a maximum of <br />five years from ~anuary 1, 19B9. <br /> <br />FAA will continue to work with the city of Ramsey toward resolution of <br />the ]andfill issue, however, before Federal funds can be used to <br />develop the airport, the existing landfill and proposed landfill-(Site <br />P) in~ompatibi~;ty issue must be resolved ~o FAA's satisfaction. Our <br />preferred option is closure of the existing landfil! and not having <br />Site P located near the airport. We understand that this is a complex <br />problem. This is evident by the letters from the Chairman of the Anoka <br />County Board of Commissioners, the law firm representing Waste <br />~anagement of Minnesota, and the Choir of the Metropolitan Council. <br />Based on these letters and the positions given by them, we feel thmt <br />the environmental review process for Site P must be completed as part <br />of our environmental approval process. <br /> <br />Page ~-86, Wetlands. The importance of wetlands to the nation is <br />reemphasized in Executive Order 119B0, issued May 84, 1577. The <br />executive order provides that Federal agencies: <br /> <br /> <br />
