<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Planning Commission <br />2/28/89 <br /> <br />Mr. Kreger further noted there is some concern; the combination of <br />chemicals could put the drinking water standard over the recommended <br />allowable limit. Mr. Kreger explained what the recommended allowable <br />limit was. The RAL is based on the calculation that one out of 100.000 <br />persons who drink the same water all their life could get cancer from it. <br />Mr. Kreger offered to buy bottled water for residents whose wells are <br />contaminated. <br /> <br />Mr. Kreger explained the first action they were going to take is to <br />verify this information. <br /> <br />The second action they are going to take is to immediately resample the <br />wells. which would take place next week. We should have information <br />available in about six weeks to compare the results. <br /> <br />The third action they were going to take is to step up an immediate <br />investigation to see why or what causes these types of contaminations. <br />Mr. Kreger felt that ash storage will be no more hazardous than the <br />storing of the mixed municipal solid waste. <br /> <br />Steve <br />would <br />Kreger <br /> <br />Rohlf. Building and Zoning Administrator explained that the City <br />be taking split samples of the wells also. if MPCA doesn't. Mr. <br />noted that they would be using a certified lab this time. <br /> <br />Kreger's attorney. Tom <br />sampling results should <br />permit. Mr. Larson felt <br />for this request. <br /> <br />Larson of Briggs and Morgan felt the water <br />not have anything to do with the conditional use <br />that the landfill does meet all the conditions <br /> <br />John Lichter. Bruce A. Liesch and Associates indicated that one of the <br />wells northeast of the landfill was quite heavly contaiminated. If the <br />groundwater flow is primarly to the southwest. why were these residential <br />wells contaminated? Also. one of the Landfill's montoring wells north of <br />the landifll showed some contamination. Mr. Kreger explained that was <br />one of the reasons to expand the samplying to include residences in a <br />certain circumference of the site. Mr. Kreger indicated that they would <br />dig some new wells to see which way the groundwater is flowing. Mr. <br />Lichter felt it was a good idea to use another well for testing. Mr. <br />Lichter explained that most of the chemicals found in the drinking water <br />are degreasing solvents. <br /> <br />Tom Woods of 544 5th Street indicated he was against this request. EPA <br />does not classify ash as hazardous waste. EPA calls it special waste. <br />therefore. exempts it from hazardous waste laws. Dioxins and Furans are <br />some of the most hazardous chemicals known to man. By simply changing <br />the name it is no longer toxic. You need to look at the reality of the <br />situation and not be swayed by euphemism and soft sales. <br /> <br />6. <br />
