<br />PARK COMMISSION REVIEWS
<br />
<br />PROPOSED TRAIL SYSTEM
<br />
<br />WITH CITIZENS
<br />
<br />The Park and Recreation Commission met on August 11 and
<br />the first case on the agenda was a discussion with concern-
<br />ed residents regarding the proposed multi-use trail system.
<br />
<br />In summary, those residents that addressed the Commis-
<br />sion were opposed to the trail system for the following
<br />reasons:
<br />
<br />a. A multi-use trail system adjacent to residential pro-
<br />perties is not an appropriate location.
<br />b. It would require affected property owners to give up
<br />too much of their land for the system.
<br />c. The City cannot afford to develop and maintain a multi-
<br />use trail system; the money would be better spent on
<br />improving existing parks.
<br />d. That the trail system will lower the values of proper-
<br />ties located adjacent to it.
<br />e. The additional traffic generated by trail users.
<br />f. Snowmobiles will be allowed to use portions of the
<br />trail and there will be noise generated.
<br />Any other citizens wishing to comment on the proposed
<br />multi-use trail system should write a letter to the Park and
<br />Recreation Commission, c/o Ramsey City Hall, 15153
<br />Nowthen Blvd. N.W., Ramsey, MN 55303.

<br />DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL
<br />IMPACT STATEMENT FOR
<br />ANOKA LANDFILL
<br />COMPLETED
<br />
<br />Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc. has proposed a ver-
<br />tical expansion of the Anoka Sanitary Landfill. The expan-
<br />sion would allow an additional 1 ,021,100 cubic yards (635
<br />acre feet) of municipal solid waste to be disposed. In com-
<br />bination with plans for capping, slope cover, methane gas
<br />collection and diversion of surface runoff to sedimentation
<br />basins, the expansion is expected to reduce the rate of
<br />leachate generation from the landfill. The EIS describes and
<br />evaluates the proposed project and primary alternatives as
<br />well as the geohydrologic, air quality, economic and
<br />sociologic impacts.
<br />Copies of the draft EIS are available for public review at
<br />City Hall. Written comments on the draft EIS will be accepted
<br />and are due October 10,1988. Comments should be mailed
<br />to Wayne Nelson, EIS Project Manager, Metropolitan Coun-
<br />cil, Mears Park Centre, 230 East Fifth Street, St. Paul, Mn
<br />55101. A public meeting on the draft EIS is scheduled for
<br />September 26, 1988 at the Anoka Area Vocational Technical
<br />Institute on Hwy. #10.

<br />The Public Works Department will be flUShing out the
<br />municipal water system on October 17-21 between the hours
<br />of 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. During this flushing process,
<br />scale and rusty residue are broken loose from the pipes. If
<br />you perform high water usage tasks in your home during
<br />those flushing hours, it is possible to draw that scale and
<br />rusty residue into your home pipes. Superintendent Mevissen
<br />requests that homeowners in the municipal water areas
<br />specifically refrain from washing clothes between 7:30 a.m.
<br />and 4:00 p.m. on those flushing days to prevent costly
<br />damage to clothing.
