ConditionallUse Permit Request <br />Aluminum Recycling, Inc. <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />OPER.~T ~ ON~L PLAN <br />The applicani--~ requesting a permit to install the necess- <br />ary equipment to receive and process aluminum and other <br />non-hazardous metals. The principal metal received <br />proximately 90%) would be aluminum, of which the majority <br />(approximately 90% or more) would be processed by melting. <br />This'material would come from aluminum pickings from land- <br />fills, aluminum parts from automobile engines and trans- <br />missions, scrap dealers and private citizens. Most material <br />would be ready for melting as received and would go directly <br />to the furnace building. Material requiring cutting would <br />be processed directly behind the main building, screening it <br />from 142nd. Avenue, N.W. <br /> <br />Dross from the melt operation will be moved to covered <br />sze-~ containers to cool and then be processed by electro- <br />magnetic crane to separate the ferrous materials. The <br />remaining material would be moved to a trailer until suffi- <br />cient quantity is accumulated for shipment to a processing <br />facilitY. <br /> <br />Transmissions and engines would b'e cleaned in a separate <br />areailwi'~hin the main building. The floor would be sloped <br />to collect oil. Plans will be reviewed with the City of <br />Ramsey Building Inspector and Anoka County Director of <br />Environmental Health prior to construction. Transmissions <br />will be placed in the area or held in leak-proof containers <br />until they can be moved into the room for disassembly. <br />Oil will be collected and used as fuel or hauled by an <br />authorized waste oil recycler. <br /> <br />EQUIPMENT <br />Two ~eli'furnaces are planned for operation. However, only <br />one furnace will be used initially, with a second added <br />for use as backup and to provide additional capacity as <br />it is necessary. Stack height on the first furnace is 24 <br />feet and 28 feet on the second furnace. Both furnaces will <br />use afterburners. More details on furnaces are shown in <br />the Air'Emission Facility Permit No. 2293-89-0T-1, Item II <br />{attached)... <br /> <br />Fuel would be petroleum-derived used oil for main melt <br />c-~ber as defined in the Air Emission Facility Permit, <br />Item IIIB and IIIC. The afterburner fuel would be fuel <br />oil, natural gas or propane. <br /> <br /> <br />
