Project Site Description: 267.4-acre "Anoka -Ramsey" closed landfill site located in the southeastern <br />quadrant of the City of Ramsey. The site is located 1 mile due north of the Mississippi River. The site is <br />directly adjacent to active light commercial, light industrial, and "multi -optional development" land uses <br />to the south of the site, light single-family residential to the west of the site, Alpine Park to the north of <br />the site, and undeveloped shrubbery, forest, and City -Owned Sunfish Lake (30-acre) & Park to the east <br />of the site. The site is zoned "Institutional" and owned by the State of MN's Pollution Control Agency. <br />The site was officially closed as a landfill in 1993. The "cap" of the landfill is approximately 64-acres in <br />size, with approx. 3,419,316 tons of waste within the cap. <br />Nlionewsa Pollution <br />Control Age -my <br />Site ContacU <br />land Manager; .1van 11arLso n <br />Enginven PeturTiffanv <br />1116x[mgoolupmL Joe Malik <br />Site Features <br />1fk- Fwtprw <br />lAtaa .N <br />DO-QxPWWS r=t <br />I is under the k k <br />.one ca+ tmO 4 the MPCAl <br />IitNTPIN <br />Habs alto I50�RT1 <br />J 69 a <br />I nN-JACM p-h '.1we of ill F-mlor3 Io E 11O ear rset nw +'Ao-m-nntt r-.i Ph& uwjL #t "N %1,1 =, a l.. s I.i , <br />:Se wxww r rur " %ulsabdk7 or Fdtahmkr r Elms dam far srry purpfm4- 1`hL . mUp de;" rs & t. ; .I `t, oi 4 •1 `•• € i ®Y F li <br />tr4papi4bic 4 efzmpm &amr6R Final U m3v are! rikrt Me, w - <br />m%psrm arbrr peArm=l wA rri <br />Project Outcomes <br />1. The City of Ramsey's "Anoka -Ramsey Closed Landfill" to become the first true "Brightfield" <br />developed in the state of Minnesota, and to be developed in a manner that centers the benefits <br />of the project on LMI-Households in the City of Ramsey and the city's natural environment as a <br />replicable model for how the other 113 closed landfills in the state may be redeveloped in a <br />socially and environmentally just manner. <br />2. Additionally, this site will serve as a sort of "living lab" for different ways in which <br />environmentally responsible and just practices may be incorporated across the site. <br />Project Goals <br />1. Localized Natural Environment Goal: Integrate the most innovative Solar pollinator, vegetation, <br />soil, and stormwater pollution prevention plan Best Management Practices from the MN <br />Department of Natural Resources, MN Board of Water & Soil Resources, MN Pollution Control <br />Agency, University of MN, and the National Renewable Energy Lab. <br />2. LMI-Household/Societal Goal: Develop the project in coordination with the cooperatively - <br />owned electric utility, Connexus Energy, to utilize a portion of the financial revenues of the <br />project to finance a long-term, LIHEAP-eligible (low-income) household, electricity tariff to <br />financially assist the energy -burdened homes in the City of Ramey. <br />3. Development Goal: The City of Ramsey's "Anoka -Ramsey Closed Landfill" to become the first <br />true "Brightfield" developed in the state of Minnesota, and to be developed in a manner that <br />centers the benefits of the project on LMI-Households and the localized natural environment. <br />Identify the most technically plausible development scenario. <br />
