That WMMI has indicated that if necessary, they will purchase a windrow machine. WMMI has indicated that the volume requested is approximately the capacity needed to supply enough disposal area for Anoka County. Anoka County Task Force indicates that the annual amount of yard waste is approximately 22,000 tons. That the city has taken a position that there should be no landfill related activity permitted in the buffer area of Site "P" and has stated its position in Resolution 90-02-48. A copy of said Resolution is attached hereto and incorporated herein as fully set forth at this point. That the intent of Resolution 90-02-48 is to protect residential land uses from landfill activities and related landfill operations. That Anoka County landfill license conditions (April 10, 1990 - June 30, 1990) under Borrow Pit Restoration Item G.4 allows landspreading of yard waste "of up to 375 tons per acre per application with four applications per season (March 1 - November 30). The sum total over a 40 acre parcel would be approximately 60,000 tons of yard waste. The license may be interpreted to allow landspreading on the entire borrow area which could provide between 100,000 - 200,000 tons capacity for yard waste. That alternative disposal methods for yard waste are currently available to WMMI through landspreading in a volume which exceeds any projected capacity needs.
