I I I I I I I I I I I dispute that the soil types on the site are not suitable for landfill uses but contends that sound design engineering and operational practices can prevent such contamination. Such measures would include liners, leachate collection systems and storm water runoff control. In support of this contention, Waste Management asserts that the MPCA and Metropolitan Council were mindful of soil conditions but nevertheless found the site to be intrinsically suitable for a landfill. The Commission finds, however, that it has not been provided with sufficiently complete information on design and engineering of the proposed landfill to determine that the site is suitable for the proposed use. Given the presence of wetlands, the soil types, and the potential for ground and surface water contamination, the Commission is unable to conclude that the use of the site for a landfill will not create a significant risk of surface and ground water contamina- tion and hazard to the public health, safety and welfare. be The Nature of the Ad~oinin~ Land or Buildings.
