painted our house last year and it is all dirty again from all <br />the dust being stirred up at the landfill; Waste Management is <br />constantly watering but there is only so much you can do. <br /> <br />David King - 6604 153rd Lane - When did Waste Management acquire <br />the old dump? <br /> <br />Mr. Roger Berres - Waste Management started leasing the landfill <br />in 1969. <br /> <br />David King - Why wasn't a clay barrier put down at that time? <br /> <br />Mr. Cook - In 1969, there were very few standards for landfill <br />sites; it just didn't exist as a technology. <br /> <br />David King - Waste Managment could have put in a barrier in 1975 <br />or 1979; it should have been covered a long time ago. <br /> <br />Mr. Cook - There is a proposal in the current operating plan to <br />place a cap on the landfill which would consist of a sludge <br />material and certain sands; this is a form of infiltration barrier, <br />it is not a bare cap landfill site. <br /> <br />David King - Was told by Terry Miller that there is a phase plan <br />for operating at the landfill that means dumping on the North <br />side during the summer months. Why can't they dump on the South <br />side, the industrial side, during the summer months. Terry <br />Miller said it was economically not feasible. I asked what <br />Waste Management's profit was last year and Terry Miller said <br />he would send me that information; I have received nothing yet. <br />OLd problems should be solved before new problems are thought <br />about. Are there any alternatives to the noise problems and <br />summer dumping plans. Why can't they dump on the South side <br />in the summer? <br /> <br />Mr. Cook - Dumping on the South and North side would imply that <br />you have two areas open and that for a portion of the year they <br />are covered on an interim type basis. This may be acceptable <br />practice for a short term, generally it is not good practice to <br />operate a landfill site that way because the area you are leaving <br />that half year is going to be subject to increased filtration and <br />leachate generation. The berm we mentioned would screen some of <br />the operation noise and muffling the equipment is a good <br />suggestion. I think there are some things that can be done in <br />the phasing of that site that will diminish the amount of noise <br />that will occur. We agree that the noise is a concern and we <br />are prepared to address that in our plans. <br /> <br />David King - Why does it take an expansion proposition to get <br />Waste Management to address problems that have been here since <br />19697 <br /> <br />Erika Sitz - 6521 154th Lane - Everything the City can get in <br />the agreement, you can get elsewhere. All of the good operations <br />that were described tonight, from water control to rat control to <br />trucks to roads, etc., are required by PCA and County rules. <br /> <br />Council/P & Z <br />Public Hearing <br />Page 13 of 23 <br /> <br /> <br />
