Mr. Heinen suggested that efforts continue to <br />get Atlas to locate in Ramsey, but not near a residential neighborhood and <br />then keep residential fran developing too near Atlas. <br /> <br />Val Carver - Engineer \<.'ith Atlas - Stated that reversing the locations of <br />Building F and I is possible but it might cause problems with respect to <br />fire safety; the suggestion will be considered. <br /> <br />Conunissioner HOtYe11 - Inquired if the minutes of the June 7 public hearing <br />are transcribed as he would like to review the questions that were directed <br />to HPCA. <br /> <br />Sylvia Frolik - Planning Canmission Secretary - Replied that the minutes <br />are not yet transcribed. <br /> <br />Ann Jackson - }~CA - Stated that it is a two step process toacguire <br />permits for construction and operation.

The intent of the EAW is to evaluate <br />the environmental iIrp3.cts fran the facility. The EAW requires Atlas to <br />provide a rather extensive amount of information regarding the amount and <br />type of anissions fran the facility, ash handling, windblown dust, etc. <br />When and if Atlas has anS'Nered M..PCA' s questions through the EAW to MPCA I s <br />satisfaction, the assessment is put out for public notice ana a hearing is <br />usually held in front of the Citizens Board.

Labat - .Replied that Atlas doesn't knOtY of any similar facilities in <br />the u.s. There are several much larger burn sites that Atlas has sold <br />equipment to that are in constant operation. Incineration is a co~~on <br />practice in the eastern u.s. because they have run out of room for <br />la.'1dfills. Regarding e>..-pansion, Atlas has requesteothat one of the <br />conditions of the conditional use permit be that the facility cannot be <br />e>..-panded beyond it' scurrent request; Atlas has no desire to expand the <br />contract burn process. <br /> <br />Planning & Zoning Public Bearing/June 16, 1988 <br /> <br />Page 2 of 7 <br /> <br />as <br />
