landfill space and that a new landfill viii be ou board to serve those <br />needs, Some of those needs are being served by a landfill to the north but <br />that landfill is ucC on a superfund list and they are about to be served a <br />consent order. This proposed vertical expansion project has designed <br />environmental improvements and defined impacts and remedies.

In it's current state, Ramsey has <br />nothing. Mr. Heiuen stated that he has met with Mr. Otter and Miller and <br />he believes the citizens can benefit from what Waste Management is <br />proposing. Mr. Heinen stated that Waste Management's proposal might cause <br />his property value to rise back up to where it belongs. He is glad Waste <br />Management is operating the facility in Ramsey because they are spending <br />two million to clean up the water and 14 million to complete the project. <br />The project will help address metro landfilliug needs for the next 4-5 <br />years and result in a beautiful recreational place iu Ramsey. Mr. Heineu <br />noted that without a recreational development at the site, Metro Council <br />would have no reason not to choose Site P.

People are concerned that the hazardous waste <br /> will be allowed to remain their rather than be relocated. People are also <br /> concerned with the migration of polluted water; Waste Management should <br /> provide for the testing of private wells in Hunter's Hill. <br /> Mr. Otter stated that Waste Management and PCA are testing private wells in <br /> duplicate. <br /> <br /> Mr. Williams - Stated that nobody, except City Cou¢il, can force Site P on <br /> Ramsey; if the City takes a stand against Site P, it will not happen. <br /> Mr. Otter - Noted that the landfill siting process pre-empted local <br /> approval of the project. <br /> <br /> Mr. Williams - Stated that taking into consideration EPA work in the area <br /> cf siting landfills, Site P would be an acceptable site in the future. <br /> Harold Zupon - 6285 143rd Lane - Stated that the refuse will settle and <br /> inquired as to what will keep the membrane cap from buckling and roots from <br /> puncturing the membrane. <br /> Planniug& Zoning Commission Public Hearing/September 14, 1988 <br /> <br />Page 3 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
