September 16 Physical Development Committee, 3 p.m., Metropolitan Council Chambers. September 23 Metropolitan Council, 4 p.m., Metropolitan Council Chambers. Not all sites approved by the Council will be developed as landfills, but they will form a pool from which suitable locations are chosen. By early 1983, the Council will determine the number of sites that the Region will need to meet its disposal needs to the year 2000. The number of sites will depend in part on how much solid waste the counties can divert from landfills by abatement programs like recycling and resource recovery. By about mid-1983, each county will select specific sites to meet its share of the regional need. The ..... counties will then acquire the sites and implement their abatement programs.~--~ The public meetings held by the Council earlier were intended to be the primary means for local officials and citizens to voice concerns and offer additional information that the Council could use in making a decision about the proposed sites. However, if you want to make additional comments and present new information, you may do so at the upcoming meetings mentioned above--preferably early in the process at the advisory committee meeting on September 14. For further information about the meetings, please call the Council's Public Information Office at 291-6464. If you have questions about the Council staff recommendation for Site P in Ramsey, please call Lynne Takemoto at 291-6412. Sincerely, Charles R. ~qeaver Chairman CRW:sje
