.I'" /" -" -,,/' "'I ~ .~ ) . ) . Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc. P.O. Box 67, Anoka, Minnesota 55303 I Phone (612)421-0540 E\)c 7-\\-"8'\ ~ \tr July 3, 1984 To: City of Ramsey Planning Commission and City Council At our Public Hearing that was held on June 25, 1984, Waste Manage- ment of Minnesota, Inc. presented its proposal for conditional use for an environmental improvements plan and a south horizontal expan- sion plan~ In response to public input at our meeting Waste Manage- ment would like to address several issues: 1. Environmental Imorovements Plan * This plan would necessitate ~~e construction of an infiltration barrier over 1/3 of the existing site which would minimize in- filtration into the existing site therefore reducing potential migration of leachate. The infiltration collected via the En- vironmental Improvements Plan would be removed and treated at a Waste Water Treatment Facility. This plan.would also change the existing north slope from 3 to 1 to a 4 to"l. This slope change would minimize erosion and be more aesthetic~lly accep- table to the surrounding area. 2. Remedial Action Waste Management Inc., ~l}e parent company, is proposing a 15 million dollar remedial action guarantee. This amount is not only a pro- tection to ~~e City of Ramsey, but it is also a protection to citizens throughout t.'le city. Wnlle there is federal and state legislation already in place to address some of t.l}e issues relating to remedial action that may be required in the future at sanitary landfills, our guarantee insures the city that if remedial actions are required the severity of the problem encountered at the site does not have to correlate directly to ~'le priority that may be placed on it from other regulatory agencies. It potentially pro- vides the city with funds to L~diately address the community concerns. This guar~~tee could not only be used for corrections necessary at the site but also could be used for a private water sup- ply replacement if necessary. 3. Projected Revenues to City of Ramsey Although these revenues appear to be a controversial issue, they will have a significant impact on your city's budget and therefore should be of a major concern to all of the citizens of Ramsey.
