2 <br /> <br />southeastern part of the property,~ to The Tiller Company of Maple Grove, MN <br />for a site for an asphalt plant. <br /> <br /> In Au~st 1987, Bladholm began operations at a concrete-pipe (dry cast) <br />manufacturing plant within the northwest part of the property (figs. 1 & 2). <br />The "inventory" of concrete products from the plant are stored upon <br />land-surface sites proximate to the plant. <br /> <br />The Problem <br /> <br /> A considerable volume of the salvageable and unsalvageable materials, <br />left by Prestressed, have been removed by Bladholm and its agents from the <br />property; Bladholm plans to'remove the remaining wastes from time to time to <br />provide sites for concrete-product storage and other activities. Approxi- <br />mately 2,750 yd3 of broken, prestressed-structural and miscellaneous <br />concrete products from the previous operations are now stored on the land <br />'surface of the property; the current location of these wastes will hinder <br />the efficient use of the property. Most of these concrete wastes are <br />difficult to impossible to safely break up into their concrete, cable and <br />reinforcing-rod steel components or to transport upon public roadways to <br />off-site disposal facilities (2 & 3)*. <br /> <br /> Less than 3% of the output from the current concrete-pipe manufacturing <br />operations is waste (4); current annual volume of concrete-pipe waste is <br />estimated to be about 400 to 500 yd3; minor a~ounts of other manufacturing- <br />operations wastes are removed from the site by licensed waste haulers. <br /> <br /> Bladholm plans to be an important, competitive force in the <br />manufacturing of concrete products within the Upper Midwest U.S.A. market <br /> <br />see Reference Notes, p. 14 <br /> <br />R.K.
