It was Mr. Kreger's opinion that would not be let without an approved site. review his Mr. Kreger review his a contract Stephen Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator, expressed his concern that unless the Landfill could narrow down their request as to what type of ash they propose. it would be difficult for the City to review the permit feeling that different ash would have possibly different concerns that would effect the design of the storage facility. Mr. Kreger indicated that his request was for mass burn ash and RDF ash storage. Councilmember Holmgren asked how many were making application there were seven landfills in proposal for ash disposal. Mr. use ash as asphalt aggregate locked into the asphalt. many landfills were in the metro area and how for ash disposal. Mr. Kreger responded that the metro area and that only one was making a Kreger briefly explained USPCI's proposal to and that they claim the contaminates can be Rita Johnson of Elk River questioned Mr. Kreger's sorces for graphs showing different contaminates with different types of waste. Mr. Kreger responed that Donahue Engineering and MPCA were the sources of his contaminate graphs. e Sally Thompson asked Mr. Kreger if the DNR would be involved in monitoring the Rice Lake drainage. which is adjacent to the Landfill. Mr. Kreger indicated that in 1981 the DNR said MPCA would deal with the concerns and the Army Core of Engineers indicated that they did not have jurisdiction in the area.

Mr. Kreger responded that the monitoring wells around the site would be the next line of detection. Rita Johnson asked Mr. Kreger if there was a contaminate problem with his temporary ash disposal site if it would take another three years for reimmedial action to begin. Mr. Kreger indicated that the $4.00 per ton for material brought into the landfill was set aside for reimmedial action. He further explained that some of the options being looked at for the current contaminates at the site included a ground water interception system, and possibly a synthetic final Cover to eliminate 1eechate from being generated. e Councilmember Kropuenske questioned whether money is the reason that current clean up is not proceeding any more rapidly.
