Sue Van Wagner approached the Council regardi.ng the Anoka County Landfill situation and presented several pictures of different dates when debris was blown into adjacent yards. She said that citizens complained to Mr. Johnson at the Landfill on April 11th after high Winds had blown debris into their yards; and one week after, the mess was still visible. She quoted several exerpts from the Anoka County Solid Waste Ordinance which she said were not being adhered to. She further stated that they could see the dump at all times. She had contacted the Anoka City Attorney and he told her they shouldn't be able to see the dumping. It isn't being covered properly and the Health Department has even seen that. The dump is to be seeded in the areas that are completely finished and this isn't being done. She had been told by the Anoka Assistant Attorney that the County Health Dept had recommended filling in the swamp at the south end of the dump and that the City wasn't in favor of this and that the County objects to the height of Landfill but the City wants to make a ski hill out of it.
