I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I i Amendment No. 1 May 17, 1984 Flintwood Hills Second Addition Environmental Assessment Worksheet Based on new information that has become available since the prepara- tion of the findings of fact dated April, 1984, the following revisions should be made. Under Section III, THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ARE SUBJECT TO MITIGATION BY ONGOING PUBLIC REGULATORY AUTHORITY, delete the first paragraph on page 4 and add the following: The major issue with this project is the impact the Ramsey Sanitary Landfill will have on the proposed municipal well. The MPCA and the Anoka County Environmental Health have the authority and then responsibility to monitor the migration of leachates from the landfill. In addition, the proposed well will be con- structed approximately two miles away from the landfill with approximately the upper 300 feet being cased off. The acquifer to be developed has several confining layers of protection above it and preliminary data indicates that the landfill is very unlikely to effect the well. In fact, the proposed well and other future municipal wells along the Rum River may be required to provide potable water for residents around the landfill if their wells become contaminated. (EAW and comments to the EAW.) Under Section V. Summary of Issues, delete the fifth and sixth sentences in the third paragraph of A. Groundwater Quality and add the following paragraph: Recent test results indicate a change in some of the parameters tested in the groundwater monitoring program. MPCA has stated that the test results are inconclusive at this time. However, additional testing will be done in the near future by both the MPCA and Anoka County to determine if the groundwater is being affected by the landfill and if so to what degree.
