MINNESOTA 55428 <br /> <br />O F F I C I A L N O~T I F I C A T I 0 N <br /> <br />November 10, 1980 <br /> <br />TO <br /> <br />FROM <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Affected Communitles,J <br /> <br />SEARCH AREA NOT I F I CAT I ON <br /> HAZARDOU5 WASTE DISPOSAL SITE <br /> <br />This memo is an official notification that the Minnesota Wast'e Management Board <br />has identified your community as a possible search area for a hazardous waste <br />disposal facility. <br />This notice is a part of the required siting process set in motion by the <br />Minnesota Legislature under the Waste Management Act of 1980. The Legisla- <br />ture, after much deliberation, decided that a hazardous waste land disposal <br />facility was needed in Minnesota. The Waste Management Board was created. <br />and given the task of siting at least one such land disposal facility. The <br />Board also must inventory and recommend preferred sites for hazardous waste <br />processing, incineration, and transfer and storage facilities. Your community <br />may be considered as a potential site for these facilities as well. <br /> The hazardous waste disposal .facility that we are considering will be based on <br /> successful waste management practices and technologies used elsewhere in the <br /> United States. No decision has been made yet about the final facility <br /> design--the Legislature decided that it should first be the subject of public <br /> discussion and debate--but an enclosed sheet suggests some of the technologies <br /> that may be used as well as why such facilities are needed. <br /> Naturally, you will ask, "On what basis have you chosen us as a possible <br /> search area for a hazardous waste disposal facility?" The answer is this-- <br /> we have not yet eliminated any community. We want to share the information <br /> we have and get your ideas before we make a final decision. <br /> W~ must make some major decisions on criteria and sites soon. The law requires <br /> that by May 1981, the Waste Management Board must propose six or more candidate <br /> sites for the hazardous waste land disposal facility. That means that between <br /> now and May 1981, we must discuss and select criteria and apply those criteria <br /> <br />BOARD MEMBERS <br /> <br />[~STRICT 5 <br />DISTRICT $ <br />[~ST RICT 7 <br />DISTRICT 8 <br /> <br />LOUISE KUDERUNG.
