MEMORANDUM DATE: February 16, 1999 TO: City Aattomey Bill Goodrich FROM: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Conditional Use Permit for Groundwater Treatment Facility On April 23, 1991, the City of Ramsey issued a conditional use permit to Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc. (WMMI) for the operation of a groundwater pump-out treatment system as part of the remedial action necessary for the landfill. That permit expired on January 31, 1996. On May 27, 1997, the City of Ramsey granted another conditional use permit to WMMI for the same purpose that will expire January 31, 2001. Shortly after the second permit was issued in 1997, WMMI let the insurance required in Item #7 and the financial surety required in Item #8 of Resolution #97-05-137 lapse, presumably because of the conveyance of the property to MPCA. In addition, I have discovered that WMMI never signed and returned the conditional use permit contained in 97-05-137. Resolution 97-05-136 adopting the findings of fact has also not been executed since my practice is to get all copies of the conditional use permit and findings of fact signed by City officials after the applicant signs the cup. I am looking for direction on how to proceed with the insurance, finm~cial surety, and execution of documents (97-05-136 Findings of Fact & 97-05-137 Conditional Use Permit) approved under a previous council, city administrator and property owner. Do we seek or need insurance and financial surety from MPCA, if in fact they now own the groundwater treatment facility? Who should sign the CUP and and Findings of Fact? A copy of the cup and findings are enclosed for your info.
