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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />The Planning Commission felt that the standards set forth in the City Code <br />of Ordinances for a conditional use permit and the standards in the city's <br />Solid Waste Facility Ordinance are met and recommended approval of both <br />UPA's conditional use permit and solid waste facility license with the <br />following changes: <br /> <br />A. License <br /> <br />III., Item 4, titled "Incorporation of Amendments to MPCA <br />Permits or Regulations". In the last sentence of this item, the <br />proposal is 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 /> <br />o <br /> <br />III., Item 17, titled "Expiration and Renewal". The proposed <br />change is to have the license for UPA expire on January 31, <br />2000, which would be a four year renewal period. <br /> <br />B. Conditional Use Permit <br /> <br />#8-Reference to UPA's NPDES storm water permit was added to <br />this section. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />#24-The proposal is for a four year review period instead of a <br />two year. <br /> <br />ccUPA/bz/stever <br /> <br /> <br />
