I <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Jack !~pel (Continued) - With regards to Site P, it looks <br />favora~ei$or Site P to be selected; why create a problem some- <br />where i~se~when you already have a problem in Ramsey. By approving <br />the exp~nsion, is there any chance for the size of Site P being <br />limited!to,little less than half the area being utilized rather <br />than the e~tire section of Site P. <br /> <br />i <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Mayor Game¢ _ It is possible. Commissioner Haas will be speaking <br />later and ihe could address this. <br /> <br />Mr. Jack Ippel - Where is the runoff from the landfill going to <br />go to?~ W~at happens to the leachate? <br /> <br />Mr. Co°k - The plans I presented show three fresh water infiltration <br />basinSl~ L~achate in the expansion area will be collected and <br />removedlfrOm the site; it is commonly disposed of at a sewage <br />treatment plant. <br /> <br />Mr. Jack I~pel - What is 80,000,000 gallons a percentage of? <br /> <br />Mr. CoOk -iInfiltration would be constructed over 31% of the site. <br />Infiltratipn eliminated would be 80,000,000 gallons over 20 years, <br />therefore ~he other 2/3's will produce a 160,000,000 gallons of <br />leachate over 20 years. When one looks at the amount of ground <br />water ftowlunder the site you will find that that is in the <br />million~ also. <br /> <br />Mr. Jack IPpel - You are providing the protection to the North <br />where the,ground water flow supposedly isn't going. What <br />protectlon~is being planned for the East and the South? <br /> <br />Mr. Cook -iPlans call for a sludge cap over the remainder of the <br />landf~ll S~te, an infiltration barrier on the North. The reason <br />it is P~aC~d on the North is because it is the upstream side; <br />it is J~sti as important to protect the upstream side as the down- <br />stream sidle. <br /> <br />Mr. Jack Ippel - If you are going to haul it out of there, don't <br />you want t~ haul it out from where it's going? <br /> <br />Mr. Cook i Mr. Ippel is confusing the ground water with the <br />leachate t~at will be collected at the new site. Ground water <br />is no~ lgo".~ng to be collected as part of this proposal. There <br />are pO~i ~ons of the site where you cannot get under them to do <br />anything about; those are the portions of the site that you have <br />to look a~ in terms of what measures to reduce the amount of <br />leacha~e ~ould be the best, what measures can you afford with <br />the a~OunC of ground water flow, the amount of tenuation and the <br />amount !of ~ dzlutmon that will occur. We looked at it and decided <br />that the North side is the most practical place to put these <br />improvements on. <br /> <br />Mr. jack Zppel - Council and Planning Commission are doing a <br />super~jOb land do not envy the decision they have to make. <br /> <br />Council/P & Z <br />Public Hearing <br />Page 17 of 23 <br /> <br /> <br />
