City of Ramsey 15153NOWTHEN BOULEVARDN.W.. RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 ,,, (612) 427-1410 Oct(Der 5, 1988 Mr. Steve Keefe, Chairman Metropolitan Council Mears Park Centre 230 East Fifth Street St. Paul, MN 55101 Re: Comments on the Draft EIS for the Proposed Expansion of the Anoka Sanitary Landfill Dear Mr. Keefe: The purpose of the City's review of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the vertical expansion of the landfill is not necessarily to take a position on the landfill expansion issue. Rather, it is to make it's concerns known relative to the quality, ade~uacy and validity of the information presented in the EIS document. The following comments, therefore, express concerns on those points which the City differs with those expressed in the EIS. It is not the intent to indicate whether the City agrees or disagrees on each aspect or statement of the EIS. We hope that, taken in this context, the tenor of the comments is viewed in a relatively neutral and objective posture rather than as strictly a negative position. City Council and City staff have discussed these cor_%ents with Waste Hanagement (h%2,[i) personnel a% their request. While %he parties are no% necessarily in agreement in all cases, both marties understand the introduction m'.e E--S o.~. -~= Drooose~ vertical ~. ~ 4 .R .... _kD_..s_on of Ancka ~=-~=-v Lan~fi!! has ' s_, ' m=n reviewed by ~he City cf Ra~sey.
