Plaisted <br /> Companies <br /> I N C O R P O R A T E D <br /> March 28, 2016 <br /> Plaisted Companies, Inc. is applying for an Interim Use Permit to continue the yard composting <br /> operation on parcel 75-115-2200. This began as a joint venture between Plaisted Companies, Inc. <br /> and The City of Elk River for a place for the city to bring the yard material to open up space at <br /> the Public Works Department. <br /> Plaisted Companies now has a professional company, OTI, Inc. operate the yard composting <br /> area. OTI puts the material in rows to begin the composting process and they utilize a <br /> composting turning machine to help facilitate the process and keep any smell to a minimum. <br /> Once the composting process is complete, OTI will screen the material to a usable product which <br /> is used as a soil amendment, in garden and planting soils and as a rain garden additive. <br /> The total operation is operated with one to two people during the normal hours of our sand and <br /> gravel operation. The composting sites are located within our sand and gravel operation and all <br /> storm water is retained on-site. There are no utilizes or trees within the composting area. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Mark Duitsman <br /> Chief Operating Officer <br /> P.O.Box 332 • 11555 205th Avenue NW • Elk River, MN 55330 U.S.A.• www.plaistedcompanies.com <br /> Tel 763.441.1 100 or 1.877.564.8013 • Fax 763.441.7782 <br />
