Page 4 Elk River City Council Meeting January 30, 1989 e Regarding recent work authorized by the City for environmental tests at the Larry Morrell trucking site, John indicated that there appears to be no problems with either the underground storage fuel tanks or the use of oil for dust control. The preliminary information at this time indicates that the Morrell Trucking site is environmentaly safe. John and Steve briefly reviewed the landfill issues as outlined in the December 22, 1988, letter from Matt Ledvina to Stephen. This letter discussed the remaining work needed to be accomplished by the landfill in order to be in compliance to the City Code. The Council requested John to have Liesch and Associates Inc. investigate the septic dumping in a non-agricultural parcel in the southeast corner of the City. The concern of the Council was that there may be ground water contamination if this septic has a "quick line" into the ground water, versus being spread on agricultural land where it takes much more time to filter into the soils and ground water. The City continue and State Council thanked John for his update and requested that he to work with the City staff in insuring compliance to City Code laws on these previously discussed environmental issues. 6.1.
