26) 27) 29) 30) 31) 32) 33) 34) 35) 36) 37) That WMMI has indicated that if necessary, they will obtain the services of a windrow machine and that this probably would be necessary if the annual volume of yard waste reaches 7000-9000 tons annually to ensure a successful operation. WMMI has stated that the Anoka County Task Force indicates that the annual amount of yard waste is approximately 22,000 tons. That WMMI has stated that they plan to use a portion of the compost material as final cover on the adjacent landfill. That WMMI has stated that tree prunings will be stored up to approximately 2000 CY of volume and then chipped with a wood chipper or chipped more often if appropriate. That WMMI has stated that wood chips from the tree prunings will be used to provide a work surface on the 'composting and tipping areas and will also be made available to the public for use as landscaping material. That surface water run-off will be diverted to low areas within the Site and WMMI has stated that the existing low areas are large enough to accommodate spring snow melt. WMMI has indicated that little additional site grading is anticipated° That WMMI has stated that site access roads will be constructed. Access roads will be constructed on the interior of the facility. That WMMI stated that the facility will be secured by enclosing it with welded wire fence. That WMMI has indicated equipment it will have available for the compost operation includes two (2) front-end loaders, one (1) wood chipper, one (1) water truck, and one (1) windrow machine~ if necessary. That WMMI's description of its operation closely resembles a low level technology compost operation as defined by Rutger's in capacity requested and method of operation as described in their revised October 16, 1990 submittal. That Rutger's indicates that approximately one acre is required for composting of approximately 3,000 cubic yards of leaves under low level technology and that at the above ratio adequate composting acreage is provided for the requested capacity. That WMMI has indicated that windrows would be formed which would be 6 ft. high and 14 ft. wide which is consistent with the Rutger's low level technology.
