Industrial Park? Extremely dangerous chemicals would be stored in tanks <br /> and buildings; who will hold the certificate of insurance? <br />Sid Brennan - Attorney retained by STEPaN Committee - I have had a chance to <br />review a very limited amount of material. Apparenty, the city has selected <br />· Hakanson-Anderson as the consulting engineering firm and Hakanson-Anderson <br />has selected Joe Grabowski of Wenck Associates to prepare a report. Mr. <br />Grabowski indicated in his report that there are health and air emission <br />issues that need addressing. It is imperative that the city follow the <br />directives of the experts they have chosen to guide them. Apparently, <br />there are many people that don't want Atlas in Ramsey. The experts feel <br />more information is needed. The environmental assessment worksheet is <br />prepared by Atlas and gone over by MPCA to make sure it meets their <br />criteria. The environmental assessment worksheet has not been prepared yet <br />and to grant a conditional use permit without all the facts would be <br />foolishness. The city, at a minimum, should delay a decision until the EAW <br />is complete. Mr. Grabowski expressed concern that there should be an <br />analysis performed prior to trial burns. The city and MPCA will be relying <br />on data supplied by Atlas; it would be in the city's best interest to have <br />some more detailed analysis and testing done on their own. <br /> Alan Schramm - 6051 160th Lane -.Spending money to improve parks to attract <br /> more residents to Ramsey would be hypocritical if the City grants a permit <br /> to Atlas to operate in Ramsey. The citizens have been opposing the dump <br /> for many years; how many more meetings do the citizens have to attend <br /> before City Council realizes that the residents don't want any more <br /> facilities like this in our city? <br /> <br /> Liliana Reinen - 6370 143rd - I am a proud member of STERN. I am not <br /> ashamed of Ramsey, it is beautiful; but, I am ashamed of the condition of <br /> Ramsey. I have a couple more questions to ask: 1) Are you aware that <br /> according to AcBAN, the Northern Suburban area, especially Ramsey, has <br /> become the object of many welcome, new industries and manufacturing <br /> facilities for wanting to settle here their corporate headquarters and <br /> industrial complexes. 2) Are you aware that toxic and pollution test <br /> results, as stated by U of M Health Department, will not be ready until 40 <br /> years from now? 3) Are you aware that according to authorities in <br /> toxicology, such as the very eminent Dr. Robert Krieger, Health Department <br /> of the U of M, this area, if such an incinerator facility will ever take <br /> place, will be subject to lethal and mortal effects in just a few years? <br /> 4) In everyone's just opinion and common sense, how can other such <br /> businesses be attracted to an area that will show a very low rate in the <br /> devaluation and defacing of this community~ <br /> Robert Burger - 7111 159th - I did not come here intending to speak. I <br /> have lived in Eamsey 10 years and I am tired of the dump, airport and the <br /> Atlas proposal. We did not move to Ramsey to become the land of hazardous <br /> waste. I am proud of Ramsey and I don't want it to be known as the town <br /> where all the hazardous waste is. <br /> Scott Dickinson - 14160 Junkite Street - For 6 years my wife and I fought <br /> infertility; last month we found out we are going to have a child. I don't <br /> care to have this child raised in an environment I feel is unsafe. <br /> City Council Public Hearing/July 14, 1988 <br /> <br />Page 13 of 15 <br /> <br /> <br />
