isn't the ty~e of thing that requires any mining qualifications. Mr. Miller has not gone to mining schools but he is a qualified landfill operator. Douglas Fountain - How do you propose to control dust in the mining area when you cannot control it in your landfill operation area? Mr. Moersfelder - We have presented a development plan for five acres to be mined for cover material at anyone time. Secondly, there will be water control trucks available at that site. ~nirdly, we have agreed to conditions imposed by Planning and Zoning to use all available means to keep down dust. John Studer - 15235 Garnet - Wish we could afford to hire a lawyer like Waste Management does. I am concerned that the area proposed for mining will involve cutting away one of the last buffers to the landfill area and aesthetically reduces the area. With regards to restoration and landscaping, will it be similar to the way Waste Management presently landscapes the hill; it takes a past to predict a future. What we have seen on the present hill does not measure up. Jerry Sevich - What Waste Management would Plan to do is as each phase is developed, topsoil from the next phase would be placed on the phase already mined, seeded and fertilized. Waste Management would be posing a $10,000 for restoration. Susan Beale - 14851 Sunfish Lake Blvd. - The request for a temporary conditional use permit should be denied: 1) If not, we would not be in compliance with a Minnesota State Statute until the Metro Council and County lift the moratorium. 2) Don't feel Waste Management has met City code 170.017B. They said there would be dust and noise, don't think that they can prove there won't be any adverse affects and no unbiased testimony has been presented. Jerry Martin - 153rd Lane - Will the amount of cubic yards to be removed be sufficient to cover the existing landfill until completion or can it be stockpiled in case Site P comes into existence. Mr. Moersfelder - If Site P happens, much of what we are doing tonight is not relevant. All of the restoration plans would be placed under that site jurisdiction and at that point, any control Waste Management had as far as influencing the way that site develops, would no longer apply. What we are talking about is dealing with the issue of taking fill material for purposes of the current operation; and we don't know how long that will last. If Site P is selected, this conditional use permit really is an issue of the past and does not affect it. Jerry Martin - There is a site to the north that can be used for additional fill; where does it stop? As long as the landfill is in existence, the surrounding real estate is in a suppressed manner and will continue to be until the landfill operation ceases. Roger McCully - 14431 Wolfram - At a public hearing last Fall, Waste Management stated that they felt the present site was in need of restructuring to control leachate generation, etc.; how essential is this restructuring to February 12, 1985 Page 5 of 9
