10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. That the Applicant has stated that the treatment facility will be operated in accordance to the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and State Disposal System (SDS) Permit number MN 0060259 issued by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). A copy of the NPDES/SDS Permit was included in the Applicant's submittal. That the Applicant's submittal states that access to the treatment facility will be by a private road located entirely on landfill property or from Waltec, Inc.'s driveway, north to the treatment facility. No new driveway onto Sunfish Lake Boulevard is proposed. That WMMI conducted a neighborhood informational meeting on March 6, 1991 to present the proposal to area residents. The vast majority of those in attendance signed a petition supporting the proposal. That the primary concerns expressed by residents at the neighborhood meeting were screening of the treatment facilities, impacts on residential wells, noise from the air stripping operation and odors from the stripping operation. The Applicant has stated that they would plant pine trees and other species on the south and east side of the treatment facilities to supplement existing oaks. That the Applicant states that noise generated at the facility will be below state regulatory standards and that no odors are anticipated. That the Applicant has stated that their report "Aquifer Analysis" dated May, 1989, evaluated impacts of the pumping operation on groundwater elevations and concluded that no adverse effects were anticipated. The Applicant further states that if wells are adversely affected, WMMI will modify or replace the affected wells to maintain service for affected parties. That the City received a copy of the "Aquifer Analysis" report dated May, 1989 on April 2, 1991. A Feasibility Study - Detailed Analysis Report was prepared by Foth & VanDyke and Associates, Inc. on behalf of Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc. (WMMI) for the Anoka Regional Sanitary Landfill, in accordance with a consent order entered into with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on May 30, 1985. The Consent Order required that a Remedial Investigation (RI), Feasibility Study (FS) and possible Response Actions be undertaken at the Anoka site. The purpose of these steps is to determine if a release or threatened release of hazardous substances exists at the Anoka site, and to develop and implement remediation strategies, if necessary.
