10. 11. 12. 13. The outside storage of debris or materials not used in the operation and inoperable vehicles and equipment shall not be pemmted. I walked through the yard and all materials being s~ored there were related to the aluminum processing operation. There were no inoperable vehicles on the site. No hazardous wastes as defined by EPA or PCA shall be burned, stored or handled at the facility. At my request, Anoka County Environmental Services inspected Danny's Aluminum. My mpon on the January 6, 1993 inspection will include Anoka County's comments. Ash from thc facility shall be removed from the site on a regular basis, shall not be stockpiled in excess of 35 tons on the property, shall be stored indoors and shall be processed or depositext in an EPA approved landfill. The ash was being stored indoors; on this particular day Mr. Karst estimated that there was 25 tons on site. I was shown bills of lading which indicate the ash is being shipped off the site regularly. Prior to the date this permit becomes effective, the Permit Holder shall submit a cop5' of the written agreement or certification from the designated ash processing and/or disposal facility that said facility is willing to accept the ash. The Permit Holder shall notify the City of any change in ash processin~disposal facilities within 30 days of such change. Finding facilities to accept and process ash is a highly competitive issue; Mr. Karst prefers to not have the names of those facilities on file at the City because the City cannot guarantee confidentiality. However, he did show me bills of lading to three companies that accept his dross and the dates of the bills indicate regular shipment of the ash off the site. Wire shall not be processed by melt operations on the site. There are containers on site for insulated wire; I was also shown bills of lading which indicate that insulated wire is shipped off site on a regular basis. In viewing the separation pile in the yard, some insulated wire does get into the furnaces on a very small scale. Operations must be conducted to minimize noise, safety, smoke or other nuisance COBCel~lS. There is a dumpster located in the southernmost driveway to the facility. When incoming vehicles deposit materials itl this dumpster, they are actually extending out into the street right-of-way. Mr. Karst indicated that the dumpster will be removed. OSHA conducted an inspection in late October of the facility; 1 have requested a copy of that inspection report. The facility shall be responsible for removing debris caused by vehicles using the aluminum processing facility. On the day of the inspection, the street and boulevard east of the facility ,.,,,ere clem'- of debris. All equipment and vehicles utilized in the business shall be periodically inspected and maintained to minimize noise, odors, safety and f'u'e safety. :54
