The following regulations shall be observed by any person applying for a conditional use permit or to whom a permit is issued by the City for the construction and operation of a waste disposal facility. These regulations shall govern the construction and operation of all waste disposal facilities and any failure to observe these regulations shall be sufficient grounds for the denial or revocation of the permit by the Council. The rules established by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency relating to Solid Waste (SR 7035) must be strictly adhered. ii. No permit shall be issued by the City for the construction or operation of a waste disposal facility unless the applicant designs the facility in a manner which provides usable developable land or a public amenity of the fill area within 10 years after closure.

Variances. Notwithstanding any variance or special consent which the Commissioner of MPCA may permit, the provisions of SR 7035 must be strictly adhered to without variance. A variance or special condition granted by the MPCA does not obligate or bind the City in any manner.
