Page 3 e City Council Minutes January 25, 1988 4.2. Consideration of Solid Waste Facility License Renewal for United Power Association The Zoning Administrator provided some background information on why this license needed to be renewed at this time. Mr. Rohlf indicated that City Code required this renewal and indicated that UPA officials are present to update the Council on the status of the project. This license is related to the NSP license as the RDF that is produced from the garbage processing plant is to be burned at the UPA site. Mr. Steve Shurts from UPA provided a brief technical update to the City Council on the work that has taken place at the UPA site to prepare for the burning of the RDF. Mr. Shurts provided an update on work to date on the boiler system, the scrubber, the ash containment, fuel, and receiving building. Mr. Shurts indicated that a visit to a similar site in Pennsylvania provided UPA with a great deal of knowledge and information on how to improve the UPA site. UPA officials indicated that work on the burn facility is also moving forward on schedule. This includes the retraining of many of the workers at the UPA site. e The Council asked a question relating to the large influx of construction workers this summer and what effects the workers would have on local traffic. UPA officials indicated that approximately 150 to 200 construction workers were anticipated to be on the UPA site during the summer months but that the workers starting and ending time and work days would all be staggered so that there would not be trucks and cars for 200 workers entering into the traffic system in Elk River at one time. In response to the Council's question on the first test burn of the refitted boilers at the UPA site, Mr. Shurts indicated that such a burn is anticipated around January, 1989. Mr. Shurts also indicated, in response to a Council question, that additional County renewals were also needed on an annual basis but that these type of renewals are for completely different permits than is what is required at the City level.
