One term in the conditional use permit applies to Lots 2 and 3 of Block 4. The following repor~ will apply to activity on Lot 1. Activity on Lots 2, 3 and 4, as it relates to this conditional use permit or the zoning regulations, will be addressed at the end of this report. Afterburners were to have been installed on each melt furnace no later than March 15, 1991. Both of the afterburners are installed, however only one is operational. Until MPCA completes their review and approves of the first afterburner, the second afterburner cannot be put into operation. The status is that one furnace runs on the afterburner and the other furnaces runs on the baghouse until the second afterburner is approved. 2. Disassembly of engines and transmissions is prohibited. The disassembly of engines and transmissions is still being conducted on the site within the building. Mr. Karst indicated that he has notified the workers in that depzu m~ent that the), will be laid off from employment on January. 5 until this matter is resolved. Disassembly of feedstock is permitted only within opaquely screened areas or within building. On the 12/1/92 inspection, it was noted that the screening that was installed (4 foot berm topped with chain link fence and trees) was diminishing and losing its effectivit3,. Since that date, the chain link fence has been repaired and plastic coated aluminum strips have been woven through the fence to reduce the visibility of yard operations. Replacing dy/rig trees is not reasonable this time of year. Mr. Karst notes that the aluminum strips woven through the fence are intended as a temporary measure until he gets more positive d/recfion from the CID,. Storage of materials which are used in or result from the processing operation is permitted on site providdng that the stockpiles are properly contained and screened from adjoining properties and city streets. The stockpiles continue to be at a reduced height and improvements have been made to the containment and screening as explained in Item 3 above. There were some miscellaneous items relating to the business being stored outside the fenced and screened yard along the building front: Mr. Karst stated that these items would relocated to a screened area. All materials with oil residue shall be stored within leakproof containers to minimize potential stormwater runoff contamination.
