Quality Service with Integ~ty <br /> <br />March 27, 1997 <br /> <br />Mr. Steve Rohlf <br />Building and Zoning Administrator <br />P.O. Box 490 <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, Minnesota 55330 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Rohlf; <br /> <br />This letter is written on behalf of Elk River Landfill, Inc., ("ERL"), the owner <br />and operator of Elk River Landfill (the "Landfill") within the City of Elk River <br />(the "City"). The purpose of this letter is to present current phase plans for <br />the Landfill and a Long Term Development Plan for the City's review. We <br />understand from you that construction of the next phase of disposal cells <br />requires City approval. We also request the City grant that approval. To the <br />extent you deem it necessary, we request the City amend its license and/or <br />conditional use permit to incorporate specific plans for the development of <br />future cells. It's important to recognize that development continues tq occur <br />as was cohtemplated when the CUP and license were first issued in 1988. <br />This is simply the next phase of the original overall development plan. <br /> <br />The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency ("MPCA") recently issued the public <br />notice for the draft re-issued MPCA permit which addresses development of <br />the new disposal Cells 12 through 18 in the Landfill. In particular, the MPCA <br />permit now specifically allows construction of Cells 12 and 13, with a <br />provision for allowing additional cells to be constructed as necessary. Cell <br />12 must be constructed this year in order to provide necessary disposal <br />airspace and operating area. Detailed construction plans and specifications <br />will be submitted to City staff for review and approval within the next two <br />weeks. <br /> <br />The City's current license authorizes operation of the Landfill consistent with <br />the authority described in Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's solid waste <br />permit no. 74 (the "MPCA Permit"). ERL has requested reissuance of the <br />MPCA Permit. The MPCA has advised it intends to reissue the MPCA Permit <br />with modifications to accommodate construction of Cells 1 2 and 13. <br /> <br />Printed on Recycled Paper <br /> <br />Sanifill of Minnesota - Elk River Landfill, Inc. · 22460 Highway 169 N.W. · Elk River, Minnesota 55330 <br /> (612) 441-2464 · Fax (612) 441-2025 <br /> <br /> <br />
