I <br /> <br /> ~ ~ FINDING OF FACT # 25 <br /> '~ DEFINITION OF <br /> ! '!SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT FACILITY" <br /> ~ ~ SEPTEMBER 1, 1992 <br /> <br />Danny'S! AlUminum Processing, Inc. (DAP) does not constitute <br />a "soli~ w~ste management facility." The definition of such <br />a facilityi in Section 9.14.03 of the Ramsey City Ordinances <br />reads aR f~llows: <br /> <br /> "..',a ~ facility for the storage, collection, <br /> pro~es~ing or reuse, conversion or disposal of solid <br /> waste,b <br /> <br />DAP dO~S ~ollect, store, process and convert material, but <br />none o~.th~t material constitutes "solid waste." <br /> <br />The tez~n '~solid waste" is also defined in Section 9.14.03. <br />No ma~ri~l that is accepted by DAP is "~arbaue" or <br />"refus~''I This material has significant value. The <br />materia~ received by DAP is also not "discarded waste <br />ma~er£a~s.i' The material received by DAP has been <br />sys~ema~ic~lly collected by its previous owners, who are <br />very aWare}of its value. It has not been discarded. <br /> <br />The mater!~ls never enter the waste stream, so, therefore, <br />never heed to be separated from the waste stream. The <br />matert~ks~ are collected either as a byproduct of a <br />manUfaOtUr~ng process or after the useful life of the <br />produc~' h~s ended. The material itself has always been <br />valuabl~ ~nd useful, whether it is 3ust now being mined <br />directly ~rom the earth or whether it has been used as an <br /> [ <br />earlier~pr~duct. No matter what form the metal is currently <br />in it ~is iraw material for manufacturing. DAP simply puts <br />that material in a form that is more acceptable to <br />manufacturers. <br /> <br />The m~er~als shipped out of DAP cannot be solid waste <br />because! al~ of it, including the furnace dross, consists of <br />variouS~ oo~odities. These commodities have continuous and <br />varied market value. Most are traded publicly on various <br />exchanges.I <br /> <br /> <br />
