<br />LANDFILL UPDATE
<br />
<br />Back in 1989 the Ramsey City Council approved
<br />a conditional use permit to Waste Management of
<br />Minnesota, Inc allowing for a vertical expansion of the
<br />Anoka Regional Sanitary Landfill. This permit expires
<br />December 31, 1993. Over the past year and one-half
<br />Waste Management, Inc. and the Ramsey City
<br />Council have been negotiating issues relating to the
<br />closure of the 'landfill. It is currently Waste
<br />Management, Inc.'s estimate that ~ will stop receiving
<br />waste products for disposal at the landfill on or before
<br />October 13, 1993.
<br />Waste Management, Inc. recently initiated some of
<br />these closure activities by regrading of the landfill and
<br />installing new gas extraction piping on the north and
<br />west slopes of the landfill. The regrading work in this
<br />area is scheduled for completion by May 21, 1993.
<br />This will be followed by installation of the top cover,
<br />liner, drainage cover and top soil. The top cover
<br />installation is to begin between May 15 and June 1,
<br />1993. It is to be completed on or about September 15,
<br />1993, and will be followed by seeding yet this year.
<br />Additional closure activities will occur, however,
<br />during 1994. During 1994, a gas extraction system will
<br />be installed concurrent with regrading of the south
<br />slope of the landfill. This work will be scheduled
<br />similarly to the 1993 project. Any neighborhood impact
<br />of either the 1993 or 1994 projects should be limited to
<br />a two to three week period in May. If residents have
<br />any questions regarding these activities, they should
<br />contact Waste Management at 421-0540.
<br />
<br />DONIT PRUNE OAKS
<br />IN MAY OR JUNE!!
<br />
<br />Trimming oaks in Mayor June can be hazardous
<br />to your oak trees! Fresh cuts, resulting in open
<br />wounds, attract sap-feeding insects that can carry the
<br />oak wilt fungus which infects healthy oak trees.
<br />Wounding can be caused from pruning, lawn mowers,
<br />weed whips, construction equipment, and various
<br />other methods. If your oaks are wounded
<br />accidentally during this critical time in Mayor June,
<br />apply a pruning paint immediately. For additional
<br />information concerning oak wilt, call the Anoka
<br />County Extension Office at 755-1280.
