I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I permitted so much volume before it will be closed. It is difficult to estimate a closing date because it depends on the daily volume taken in at the site; there may even be a reduction in the daily volt, ne now that d~nping costs will rise due to local, County and State surcharges. Mr. Goodrich stated that he will also reoommend to Council, if the mining permit is approved, that the final resolution include that even though the amount of mining or fill the City permits Waste Management exceeds what would be needed on the existing site, in no way does this permit grant Waste Management thereby an expansion of this site. Discussion ensued regarding granting the mining permit for a limited amount of time, 5 years for instance, and a review and reapplication of the case at that time. Commissioner }3endriksen reiterated that 15 years is a long period of time for a temporary use and the criteria for same states that the activity cease before there is an adverse affect on the property. Mr. Otter noted that just with the County ordinance on closure/post closure he is tied to a minimum of 10 years which extends way beyond the 5 years the Commission is discussing. Commissioner Deemer stated that the Commission is discussing a mining permit for a reasonable amount of time for every day operation of the landfill until it's volL~ne capacity; at that time a temporary mining permit could be issued for shorter periods of time, say 3 weeks a year, for closure/post closure requirements. Con~nission consensus is to recommend that Council, if they approve the mining permit request, set up the mining permit for a 5 year time frame; that while the Commission understands that Waste Management is tied to a need for fill for a minimum of 10 years, 15 years seems to be more than temporary. Mr. Goodrich pointed out that the Conmtission is not relating the request to mine with the landfill; it is legitimate that the Commission feels the City should be able to review what is happening on the Tri-Co property 5 years from now. (k~mission consensus is that Council also accept all recommendations made by the City Engineer in his letter dated Nove{nber 30, 1984 regardin9 Waste Management request for a mining permit; that Waste Management oomply with <~apter 70 of the Uniform Building Oode; and that fill should not be transported over public thoroughfares; that hours of mining activity shall be from 7:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. on weekdays, 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and no Sundays. Mr. Goodrich stated that he is not sure the City can restrict Waste Mana9ement from transporting fill over public thoroughfares; they own the property and the fill is on it. Commissioner Deemer stated that if Waste Management is willing to sign the agreement with that oondition, then it is legal and bindin9 on both parties. Page 7 of 10
