Jerry Sivick - Stated that the vegetation does not include trees; the roots <br />frc~ the type of vegetation proposed will not puncture the membrane cap. <br />The settlement is taken into consideration in the overall design of the <br />site itself. The cap is flexible enough to allow for settlement. <br />Harold Znpon - Inquired if the clay liner will settle without buckling and <br />cracking and allowing more water pollution to occur. <br />Mr. Sivick - Replied that Waste Management will be operating the skiing <br />facility and therefore be on site to detect problems and correct them. <br />Harold Zupon - Noted that minor cracks will not be detectable. <br /> Mr. Sivick - Stated that one of the benefits of the cap is that is on top <br /> of the hill and cracks will be detectable. <br /> Mr. Otter - Noted that there are financial assurance and perodic reports to <br /> regulatory agencies tied to the project. The site must be monitored for a <br /> minimum of 20 years. <br /> Harold Zupon - Stated that he has lived in Hunter's Hill since 1977 and his <br /> well has never been tested. <br /> Mr. Otter - Stated that MPCA compiled a list of private wells that they <br /> feel is representative of wells in the entire area; there are monitoring <br /> wells at all layers of the groundwater which serve as an early warning <br /> detection system. <br /> Harold Zupon - Stated that there are some older homes for which the wells <br /> have never been tested. <br /> Mr. Otter - Requested that Mr. Sivick perform tests em those private welIs <br /> not on PCA's list. <br /> Earold Zupon - Stated that he is not in favor of extending the landfill but <br /> there is nothing he can do to stop it. <br /> Jack Iooel - 16447 Jasper - Stated that he is Chairman of the Airport <br /> C~is~ou and he has several concerns regarding vertical expansion of the <br /> landfill. The City has been working for 5 years to develop a master plan <br /> for :he upgrading of Gateway Industrial Airport and along that entire <br /> pro:ess, regulatory agencies assumed that when the landfill reached ~"'s <br /> permitted height, it would be capped and no longer pose a safeoy hazard by <br /> way of it's being a bird attractant. The proposal for vertical expansion <br /> will infringe on airport airspace and equipment on top of the !andfill will <br /> only infringe on that airspace even more. Vertical expansion will allow <br /> operations at :he landfill for another 5 years; if :be site were to close <br /> in 1990, that would coincide with development of the airport. The <br /> additional 5 year life at the landfill will be detrimental to Ramsey's <br /> - ~,~-~ funds for air~ort improvements. M-.
