City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway NW <br />Elk River, Minnesota, 55330 <br />MEMORANDUM of UNDERSTANDING <br />BETWEEN <br />THE CITY OF ELK RIVER AND WASTE MANAGEMENT OF MINNESOTA, INC. <br />SUBJECT; Landfill Leachate and Municipal Biosolids Disposal <br />1. Purpose. This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) documents the intent of the parties to <br />work toward two common goals, Goal I - conveying Waste Management's landfill leachate to <br />the City of Elk River Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) for treatment and disposal. Goal 2 <br />— transport and disposal of municipal biosolids from the City of Elk River WWTF into Waste <br />Management's Elk River landfill. <br />2. Issue. Waste Management seeks a long term solution for the handling and treatment of <br />leachate from their landfill located in Elk River, Minnesota.. Limited options currently rewire <br />hauling the leachate to a distant Metropolitan Council facility for treatment. The City of Elk <br />River is in the process of upgrading the main treatment processes at the WWTF which, in <br />concept, would allow for the primary treatment of the leachate. <br />As a result of said facility upgrade the City of Elk River will be producing biosolids that are <br />transportable by truck and disposable in a landfill. The City seeks a long tern solution for <br />disposal of these biosolids. Waste Management's permit allows for the disposal of biosolids at <br />their Elk River landfill. <br />3.
