Continuing brush chipping prop-am ~er the f~t two years will be ~complislx~d by the use of funds generated from thc Rarnsey Landfill surcharge and thc use of user fcc~. The cost of the program will be grcady reduced beczuse thc amount of backlogged organic material will be nonexistent. The cost will also bc reduced by thc use of the promotional and educational material dcvclope, d in thc first two ye, ars of the program. The over .ql cost would bc for the actual use of the brush chipper and ~flflitional printing of thc educational and promotional materials.The funding from these areas would also cover the costs associated with the updating of the e.,du=tional materials. C. 6. ~xp~Wn how thc Demonsu"ndon Proj~: will enable signi~c.~nt work to occur that would not otherwise be possible. The City of Ramsey does not have thc educational resources (materials) nor funding available al this time for the Brush Chipping Demonstration Program which can full)' impact the entire City. The volume of back logged. dismsed and dying trees mad other woody vegetation is extreme. Without Metropolitan Council funding assisumce. the volume of woody "waste~ will iner~se greatly due to uncontrolled spr~d of disease and the missed opportunity to implant sound environmental (abat, ment) public e. zlu~tion information to lower future "w'aste~ generation rmes.
