Anoka Regional Sanitary Landfill <br />Waste Tire Processing Facility <br /> <br />Ramsey, Minnesota <br /> <br />Proposed Operational Procedures: <br /> <br />It is intended that a waste tire processing facility be located <br />on the proposed site. The facility will be able to process both <br />waste passenger and oversized tires. <br /> <br />The waste tires will be stored on the ground adjacent to the <br />shredder. No more than 70,000 tires will be stored on-site at <br />any time. Wheels extracted prior to processing will be placed <br />in roll-off boxes stored on-site for transport to scrap metal <br />dealers as the boxes are filled. The facility will be open to <br />the public as well as commercial haulers. <br /> <br />The waste tires will be shredded in a Columbus-McKinnon <br />Shredder, which has a capacity of shredding 1,200 car tires or <br />300 truck tires per hour. The shredded tires in two inch x two <br />inch chip size will be temporarily stored or directly loaded <br />into 20-ton capacity trucks. As the trucks are filled, they <br />will transport the shredded materials to Fort Howard Paper Mill <br />in Green Bay, Wisconsin to be burned, along with coal as a fuel <br />in their power plant. It is estimated that three 20-ton <br />truckloads per day will make the trip. The company is also <br />investigating local markets for the shredded tires. <br /> <br />The facility will be open to the public during normal landfill <br />operating hours which are presently 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on <br />weekdays, and a half day on Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to <br />12:00 p.m. A sign will be posted on the gate stating the hours <br />of operation and County license number. Existing trees on the <br />north and east sides of the site will screen processin~ <br />operations from public view. <br /> <br />11/16/88 <br />Foth & Van Dyke <br /> <br />88W5-15 <br /> <br /> <br />
