I I I I I I I I i I ! I I I I I I I Paqe ~ ,July 2, 1982 Rosemount ISite D1 This proposed sanitary landfill site is located adjacent to Hwy. 55 near the Pine Bend industrial complex. Access to the site is good. Underlying soils are highly permeable, and the site will require a liner. However, groundwater in this area is already knovm to be contaminated and to flow toward the Mississippi River. Major regional aquifers would not likely be jeopardized even if engineering controls failed. The staff recommends approval of Site D for the disposal of mixed municipal solid waste. Hampton Township (Site E) This prooosed sanitary landfill site is immediately north of the existing Dakhue landfill. The site is currently open agricultural land. There are a number of residences near the site for which it may be difficult to ensure complete screening. Access to the site is fair. Soil borings have shovm considerable clay under the site. The staff recommends approval of Site E for the disposal of mixed municipal solid waste. HENNEPIN COUNTY Dayton (Site This site is located on County Rd.12 in northern Dayton. Surrounding land use is primarily agricultural and rural residential. The site is generally compatible with surrounding land use and development patterns. Environmental impacts appear to be minimal with the installation of environ-mental controls. Some additional screening of the facility may have to be'provided. The site does not seriously conflict with Council policies protecting agriculture and natural resources. Site access is poor and further studies of road-handling capabilities and alternative access routes are necessary. The staff recommends approval of the Dayton site for the disposal of mixed municipal waste.
