The five exceedances involving CO in 1995 were do to a shorter time <br /> period to average out CO emissions. Staff is confident that UPA will get <br /> their operation adjusted to avoid the majority of these exceedances in the <br /> future. <br /> The other important issue facing UPA in the future is new and more <br /> restrictive emission standards. UPA discusses these new standards in their <br /> attached letter. <br /> The city's permit, with a couple of exceptions staff is proposing to change <br /> during this renewal, adequately addresses the issues at UPA. Staff feels that <br /> having a renewal every two years is no longer necessary. <br /> Recommendation <br /> Staff feels that the standards set forth in the City Code of Ordinances for a <br /> conditional use permit and the standards in the city's Solid Waste Facility <br /> Ordinance are met by UPA and we recommend approval of both their <br /> conditional use permit and solid waste facility license with the following <br /> changes: <br /> A. License <br /> 1. III., Item 4, titled "Incorporation of Amendments to MPCA <br /> Permits or Regulations". In the last sentence of this item, staff <br /> is proposing to add the words performance standards in <br /> between performance testing or reporting requirements so that <br /> the new performance standards proposed are automatically <br /> incorporated in the city's license. <br /> 2. III., Item 17, titled "Expiration and Renewal". Staff is proposing <br /> that the license for UPA expire on January 31, 2000, which <br /> would be a four year renewal period. <br /> B. Conditional Use Permit <br /> 1. #8 Staff added reference to UPA's NPDES storm water permit <br /> to this section. <br /> 2. #24 Staff is proposing a four year review period instead of a two <br /> year. <br /> pc95-29/bz/stever <br />
