FAA Advisory Circular (AC 150/5300 - qB, Change 8) further identifies <br />sanitary landfills as airport hazards. An airport hazard has a <br />substantial adverse effect upon the safe and efficient use of the <br />airport by aircraft and upon the safety of persons and property located <br />on or near the airport. An airport hazard must be removed. <br /> <br />The narrative in the ElD correctly quotes FAA guidance concerning <br />sanitary landfills. Since the Anoka County Landfill meets the FAA <br />definition of an airport hazard~ it becomes the airport ~ponsor's <br />responsibility to prevent the construction, and alteration of an <br />airport hazard, and to restrict the use of land adjacent to or in the <br />immediate vicinity of the .airport to activities and purposes compatible <br />with normal airport operations including landing and takeoff of <br />aircraft. <br /> <br />City of Ramsey actions to restrict incompatible use of land near the <br />airport ~re: <br /> <br />1. The Airport Safety Zoning Ordinance adopted by the city in <br /> <br /> 2. Conditional Use Permit between Waste Management of Minnesota <br />and the city of Ramsey which was executed on November 29, 19BB. <br /> <br />The current status of the above actions are that the Airport Safety <br />Zoning Ordinmnce was repealed on April 19, 1988 by a city referendum. <br />The conditional use permit extends the existing landfill operating life <br />to three years with possibility for extensions limited to a maximum of <br />five years from January 1, 1999. <br /> <br />FAA will continue to work with the city of Ramsey toward resolution of <br />the landfill issue, however, before Federal funds can be used to <br />develop the airport~ the existin9 landfill and proposed landfill <Site <br />P) incompattbi):ty issue must be resolved to FAA's satisfaction. Our <br />preferred option is closure of the existing landfill and not having <br />Site P located near the airport. W~ understand that this is a complex <br />problem. This is evident by the letters from the Chairman of the Anoka <br />County Board of Commissioners, the law firm representing Waste <br />Management of M~nnesota, and the Chair of the Metropolitan Council. <br />Based on these letters and the positions given by them, we feet that <br />the environmental review process for Site P must be completed as part <br />of our environmental approval process. <br /> <br />Page 2-26, Wetlands.
