Staff was asked if there are any concerns associated with <br />the site. The Environmental Division has identified concerns with the <br />amount of solid waste that is typically found in the burn pits at the Park. It <br />is illegal in the State of Minnesota to burn solid waste. Please emphasis this <br />to the park owners. Also, the septic system for the Park should be tested <br />to determine if it is in compliance for the number of sites the Park is <br />permitted to have and that there are not any pipes directly discharging to <br />the river or on the grounds of the Park from the trailers. The Elk River <br />1h~atershed does river clean-ups and has identified this area as a concern <br />due to the amount of solid waste and various other items being deposited <br />in the river. The Watershed bears the burden of paying to properly <br />dispose of these materials. Staff would be willing to work with the Park <br />owners on providing educational materials on proper solid waste <br />management and rules of burning to its visitors and information about <br />services available through local haulers. Basically, the Park needs to <br />make sure that it has sufficient dumpster and recycling services for its <br />visitors. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Please let me know if <br />you have any questions. <br />
