Four are to be for mixed munici- <br /> · pal waste and one for demolition debris. The act tells the counties to submit <br /> their inventories, to the Metropolitan Council for review and approval. <br /> I"Mixed municipal waste" consists of garbage, refuse and other solid wastes, bu~ <br /> does not include sewage sludge or hazardous wastes. "Demolition debris" con- <br /> _ sists of brick, concrete, wood and metal waste associated with construction <br /> Iactivities. <br /> <br /> Enclosed are two of the five preliminary evaluations by the Metropolitan <br /> Council on the proposed landfill sites submitted by Hennepin County. The two <br /> · sites will be the subject of a special public meeting on Tuesday, June 1, from <br /> 7-10 p.m. at the Dayton Elementary School, 12000 S. Diamond Lake Rd., Dayton. <br />I Hennepin County has identified two candidate sites for mixed municipal waste in <br /> . <br /> <br />-- Dayton and Hassan Township. The attached map shows site locations. The sites <br /> have been certified as "intrinsically suitable" by the Minnesota Pollution <br /> Control Agency. <br /> <br />_ The sites have been reviewed by Metropolitan Council staff for consistency with <br /> the Council's solid waste policy plan, and with guidelines set forth in state <br />· statutes. The sites were analyzed with respect to the following factors: <br /> <br />I - Land use and local land use controls; <br />ii - Existing and future development patterns; <br />~ - Environmental impacts; · <br /> <br />· - Protection of agriculture and natural resources; <br /> <br />_ - Transportation and other services and ~ef~'fo~'.,-.i~at~ ,o l~nd <br />I I1 1111/ I, L__[ <br />I - Proposed final use of the fac.ility; an IIIIII/1/ 11 <br /> - Quality of other potential sites.
