I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Paqe 9 July 2, 1982 The staff recommends approval of the Louisville Township site for the disposal of mixed municipal solid waste. New Market Township This site is located adjacent to the intersection of Inter.state Hwy. 35W and County Rd. 2. The impacts on surrounding land use and existing and future development patterns are minimal. Residential development is sparse in the area. Access to the site is good and transportation-related impacts appear to be minimal. Police, fire, emergency and other services appropriate to land disposal facilities can be provided to the site fairly easily. Upon closure of the facility, light industrial, commercial or recreational uses consistent with the surrounding land use may be able to locate at the site. The site is underlain by a near-surface perched water table found within sand lenses that do not appear to be interconnected and may not extend off the site. Aquifers deep in the drift and bedrock appear to be adequately protected by overlyinq clay soils. The site seems to have inadequate drainage. Drainage through this area would have to be diverted from the Vermillion River, and other on-site drainage problem areas corrected with engineering techniques. The staff recommends approval of the New Market Township site for the disposal of mixed municipal solid waste. Savage Site/Prior Lake Aqqreqate (Demolition Debris) This site is located on County Rd. 44 in the southwestern part of Savage. Use of the site for demolition debris disposal would provide fill material for the excavated areas of the current gravel mining operations. The site area could be developed in a way to make it compatible with the surrounding land use. Access and transportation-related impacts could present nuisance and safety problems with existing and future development, especially along County Rd. 44. The county should evaluate traffic-related impacts and alternative routes to the facility. Police, fire, emergency and other services appropriate to land disposal facilities can be provided to the site fairly easily. Surface water and groundwater would appear to be adequately protected if a minimum five-foot separation is maintained between the waste material and the water table and if surface drainage is properly controlled. The staff recommends approval of the Savage/Prior Lake Aqgregate site for disposal of.demolition debris.
