The site raises ser.ious land use and environmental <br />issues. Nuisance and traffic impacts could present the most problems. The <br />site is located in an area that is quite developed. Suburban residential <br />development in Prior Lake and the Dan Patch Lake area would be most affected by <br />the site's operation. Aesthetic, noise and other nuisance impacts may be <br />difficult to buffer. Traffic impacts on Hwy. 13 and County Rds. 16 and 42 <br />could present safety problems. Extensive drainage controls may be necessary to <br />prevent runoff from becoming contaminated and reaching Dan Patch Lake and Prior <br />Lake. Seepage from the fill area would require close monitoring and immediate <br />correction. Close monitoring of the groundwater control system would also be <br />necessary. <br /> <br />The staff recommends that the Savage site not be approved for the disposal of <br />mixed municipal solid waste, and that Scott County be required to submit <br />another candidate site within 60 days to the Council for review. <br /> <br />Spring Lake Township <br /> <br />This site is bounded by County Rd. 68 on the north and County Rd. 87 on the <br />east. The impacts on land use and existing and future development patterns are <br />minimal. The site area is designated as a commercial agricultural use area and <br />residential development is sparse. The site's underlying soil consists <br />generall.v of low-permeable materials and groundwater is protected by confining <br />soils. Surface drainage may be a problem and contaminated runoff would have to <br />be prevented from leavincl the site area. Screening of the facility will have to <br />be provided. The site is not fully consistent with Council policies protectinq <br />agricultural land. The site's remoteness will make it difficult to serve <br />suburban and urban waste supply areas effectively. The site may be of limited <br />usefulness to the county. <br /> <br />The staff recommends approval of the Spring Lake Township site for the disposal <br />of mixed municipal solid waste, <br /> <br /> <br />
