<br />. <br /> <br />asked questions at the June 7 public hearing in order to get some <br />clarification out to other people in attendance that were confusing Atlas' <br />burn facility with that of a burn facility for municipal waste. Ms. Norris <br />distributed copies of the draft conditional use permit. Conunissioner Fults <br />stated that the fact that the incinerators are for demonstration and <br />research purposes leads Atlas to police themselves as far as what they will <br />accept for burning. Chairman Greenberg stated that Atlas' facility will <br />enhance further industrial develop:nent in Ramsey. Commissioner Ippel noted <br />the permit should specify the number of incinerators and maximum tonnage <br />allowed to be burned. Ms. Norris noted that language will be added to the <br />conditional use permit indicating that the permit is only valid after Atlas <br />has been approved by PeA and has completed the envirornnental process. <br /> <br />Commissioners Ippel and Vevea amended the motion to include a <br />recommendation that the conditional use permit specify the number of <br />operating incinerators and the maximum tonnage for incineration. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Ms. Norris noted that a conditional use permit is <br />continuous in duration with an annual review unless there is an expi ration <br />date or renewal process date s};ecified.
