<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />deleted from landfill selection but is back in contention because of the <br />possibility of the airport project ceasing. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ipplel replied that a great deal of effort has been put into <br />making Metro Council and solid waste agencies aware that Gateway Airport <br />exists and is currently in operation and that FAA regulations prohibit <br />landfill operations within 5,000 feet of an airport runway; those agencies <br />welcomed that information because they had been assuming an airport would <br />be an ideal use of landfill buffer area. Chairman Ippel stated that those <br />agencies have also been made aware of the impact removing 80 acres of <br />industrial property from the city's tax base for a landfill would have. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wagner noted that Site P has never been deleted from <br />consideration. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ippel replied that the possibility of no airport project <br />places Site P in stronger contention. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hardin referred to page 8 of Council minutes dated December 8 <br />and Mr. Hartley's comment that Metro Council Chairman Stephen Keefe <br />indicates that the need for additional landfilling is subsiding and there <br />may not be a need to site new landfills or expand existing landfills. Page <br />11 of the December 22 City Council minutes indicate that Commissioner Haas- <br />Steffen has requested the ceasing of all environmental testing until the <br />liability for deep wells that have to be drilled is resolved. Commissioner <br />Hardin stated that these two comments seem to indicate that it is very <br />possible Site P would not be selected. <br /> <br />Chairman Ippel noted that there is a State law prohibiting the deposit of <br />mixed municipal waste in landfills after 1990; it appears that law will <br />have to be overturned because there is nothing else to do with the waste. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Fults and seconded by Commissioner Ippel to approve <br />the following: <br /> <br />Regular Economic Development Commission meeting minutes dated November <br />12, 1987. <br /> <br />Special Economic Development Commission meeting minutes dated November <br />24, 1987. <br /> <br />Regular Economic Development Commission meeting minutes dated December <br />9, 1987. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
