The surrounding land. use is agricultural <br />and is not expected to develop within the next 20 to 30 years. Access to the <br />site is quite qood. Use of the site for demolition debris disposal should be <br />able to be carried out concurrently with continued sand and gravel removal, an <br />arranqement that would be consistent with Council policy for protection of <br />mineral resources. <br /> <br />The staff recommends approval of Site A for the disposal of demolition debris. <br />Rosemount/Empire Township (Site B1 <br /> <br />This proposed sanitary landfill site is located in the University of <br />Minnesota's Rosemount Research Center. The site is adjacent to the <br />University's Veterinary Clinic Isolation Facility, for which the University <br />maintains a one-mile separation from incompatible activities. Dakota County <br />has indicated that several alternatives are available to lessen conflict with <br />the facility's research. The site is located in predominantly sandy, well- <br />drained soils and will require a liner, leachate collection system and other <br />measures to protect the underlying Prairie du Chien-Jordan aquifer. <br /> <br />The staff recommends approval of Site B for the disposal of mixed municipal <br />solid waste. <br /> <br />Emoire Township {Site <br /> <br />This proposed sanitary landfill site is located in the University's Agricul- <br />tural Experimental Station, a part of the Rosemount Center. A portion of the <br />site for which the Universit.v's Agronomy Department has maintained a continuous <br />research record for 2~ years is within the buffer area. Site soils are <br />moderately permeable, with bedrock fairly near the surface. The site overlies <br />a buried bedrock valley, and has a serious risk of widespread groundwater <br />contamination in the event of liner failure. <br /> <br />The staff recommends that Site C not be approved for the disposal of mixed <br />municipal waste, and that Dakota County be required to submit another candidate <br />site within 60 day~ to the Council for review. <br /> <br /> <br />
