landfill operation would consist of 13 acres with 23 cells measuring 500 <br />feet long, 23 feet wide and 5 feet deep. The burying process would be done <br />in the fall of each year and it would take a few weeks. The operation must <br />remain 6 feet above the water table; the by-products would then be covered <br />with 6 inches of temporary cover and final cover would be 2 feet thick. <br />Bladholm estimates that there will be a need to bury 45,000 cubic yards of <br />concrete by-products over the years. When completed, the landfill <br />operation will have raised the surface 4 feet; the surface will remain flat <br />and serves as an excellent foundation for future uses. The issue of water <br />quality was researched and after 23 years of filling, there will be little <br />or no effect on the local groundwater. <br /> <br />Commissioner Terry inquired if Bladholm will be bringing waste products <br />from their other operations to the facility in Ramsey. <br /> <br />Mr. Thornton - Replied that Bladholm will not transport by-products from <br />other sites onto the Ramsey site for landfilling as the cement beams are <br />very difficult to transport. An on-site landfill is critical to a <br />successful producer of concrete products. Mr. Thornton noted that from a <br />land use poin= of view, the proposed landfill is compatible with airport <br />zoning. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />The consensus of those present was to adjourn the public hearing at 8:30 <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Sylvia Frolik <br />Secretary <br /> <br />Merland Otto <br />Acting Zoning Administrator <br /> <br />Planning & Zoning Commission Public Eearing/September 8, 1988 <br /> <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
