Four are to be for mixed munici- pal waste and one for demolition debris. The act tells the counties to submit their inventories to the Metropolitan Council for review and aporoval. "Mixed municipal waste" consists of garbage, refuse and other solid wastes, but does not include sewage sludge or hazardous wastes. "Demolition debris" con- sists of brick, concrete, wood and metal waste associated with construction activities. Enclosed are the preliminary evaluations of the Metropolitan Council staff on four proposed landfill sites submitted by Anoka County. They will be the subject of a special public meeting on Tuesday, April 13, at 7 p.m. The meeting will be held at Roosevelt Junior High School, 650 NE. Main St., Blaine. &noka County has identified four candidate sites for mixed municipal waste Coon Rapids/Andover, Ramsey, Oak Grove Township and East Bethel (Site E). The county also has identified a candidate site for demolition debris in East Bethel (Site R). The attached map shows the location of the sites. The firs~ four sites have been certified as "intrinsically suitable" by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (M~CA). The MPCA has not yet certified the demolition debris site as suitable.
