Northern States Power, CUP Page 3 <br /> December 28 , 1993 <br /> • DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM <br /> The grinding of waste into RDF can produce large amounts of <br /> dust . NSP has a dust collection system that filters this <br /> dust. In the last year, NSP has modified this system by <br /> removing every other filter. They indicated this was necessary <br /> since items were getting stuck between the filters and reducing <br /> the system' s efficiency. This situation will be followed-up by <br /> performance testing on March 1, 1994 , to prove whether or not <br /> the removal of these filters aided in dust collection. <br /> TRANSFER OF PERMIT <br /> NSP is proposing that NRG, Inc . , a wholly owned subsidiary of <br /> NSP, takes over the operations of the RDF processing facility. <br /> Representatives from NSP/NRG can explain their need to do this <br /> at Tuesday night ' s meeting. Staff was concerned with losing <br /> NSP as the ultimate party responsible for the operations of the <br /> facility. NSP/NRG is proposing to alleviate staff ' s concerns <br /> by having NSP co-sign the City' s permit, indicating that they <br /> will ultimately stand behind the operations at the plant. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> City staff has had a good relationship working with NSP and has <br /> • found them very cooperative. Staff has no problem recommending <br /> approval of a two year renewal of their conditional use permit <br /> to operate a solid waste facility with the following conditions : <br /> 1 . THE CITY ENGINEER FINDS AN EASTBOUND ACCELERATION <br /> LANE ON HIGHWAY 10, OPPOSITE 165TH AVENUE, IS NOT <br /> NEEDED OR THAT THIS LANE IS CONSTRUCTED IF THE <br /> ENGINEER FINDS IT IS NEEDED. <br /> 2 . THE POTABLE WATER ISSUE (LEAD) IS RESOLVED TO STAFF' S <br /> SATISFACTION. This condition would not would not <br /> take an amendment to NSP ' s conditional use permit. <br /> 3 . NSP ' S DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM MEET STATE PERFORMANCE <br /> STANDARDS . This condition does not take an amendment <br /> to NSP ' s conditional use permit. <br /> 4 . NRG BE NAMED AS THE PERMITEE ON THE CITY' S <br /> CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND THAT NSP CO-SIGNS THE <br /> PERMIT. If the transfer from NSP to NRG falls <br /> through, staff recommends the two year renewal of <br /> this permit be in the name of NSP without additional <br /> meetings . <br /> • <br />
