As you are aware, 'after closure, <br />there will be a continued need for cover and turf maintenance, ground <br />water monitoring, and environmental restorative or mitigative action. <br />These postclosure needs will be very costly. Definitive and explicit <br />closure and postclosure standards and financial assurances by the State <br />need to be established. Other States have addressed or are in the <br />process of addressing this critical issue and have assumed their rightful <br />responsibilities. Our State of Minnesota should do likewise'. <br /> <br />It is for these reasons that the Anoka County Board of Commissioners has <br />passed resolution #82-45 and seeks your assistance and support in <br />resolving this problem. <br /> <br />Should you have any questions with regard to this matter, please do not <br />hesitate to contact me. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />John "Jay" McLinden <br />County Administrator <br /> <br />JM:cg <br />Attachment <br /> <br />Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
