<br />'REVIEW' IS MAILED THIRD CLASS
<br />
<br /> To cut mailing costs in half, the Review is being mailed
<br />third class instead of first class beginning.this issue. This means
<br />it will arrive as late as one week after publication days-still the
<br />first and third Fridays of the month. Because of this change,
<br />the Review no longer contains a list of meetings for the
<br />coming week. Instead, it publishes a list of meetings (without
<br />agendas) for the following two weeks. Be sure to call and
<br />verify any meeting information.
<br />
<br />WASTE-TO-ENERGY PLANT SUBJECT
<br />OF FEB. 10 PUBLIC MEETING
<br />
<br /> The Metropolitan Council will hold a public meeting
<br />Feb. 10 on a proposed waste-to-energy resource recovery
<br />proiect for Ramsay and Washington Counties. The meeting
<br />will be from 7 to 10 p.m. at Tartan High School, 828 Green-
<br />way Av. N., Oakdale.
<br /> The project, an estimated $55 million mass-burn incinerator,
<br />would be built in Lake EImo, Washington County. It would
<br />burn about 600 tons of municipal waste daily and produce
<br />steam for sale to 3M Co. in Maplewood-and other nearby
<br />customers if the facility is expanded.
<br /> The meeting is to discuss an environmenta~ assessment
<br />worksheet (EAW) about the project and the scope of an
<br />environmental impact statement that will be prepared by
<br />summer. Minnesota Environmental Quality Board rules
<br />require the Council to conduct an ElS on incinerators that
<br />will process 500 tons or more of waste daily.
<br /> To speak at the hearing or submit written testimony, call
<br />the Council at 291-6421. Copies of the EAW, pub. no. 09-83-
<br />003, may be obtained free by calling 291-6464.
