Security <br /> <br />The Elk River Landfill is in the process of constructing a 6 ft. high <br />chain link fence around their entire site. <br /> <br />2. Liter Control <br /> <br />Sections 4 (14) and 5 in the attached conditional use permit and 4 (14) <br />and 5 of the solid waste license, have been slightly modified to ensure <br />proper liter control. <br /> <br />3. Related Operations <br /> <br />The Elk River Landfill does some recycling, yard composting, and also <br />disposes of demolition debris. Item 2 of the conditional use permit and <br />Item 3 of the solid waste facility license, have been modified to allow <br />city staff to approve changes some changes to these operations. <br />Operations in addition to these mentioned would take an amendment <br />to the license and conditional use permit. <br /> <br />Specific Additional Operational Requirements <br /> <br />These requirements can be found under Item 4 in both the conditional <br />use permit and license attached. <br /> <br />The original cell at the Elk River Landfill, started in 1972, was <br />unlined. There is concern with water contamination from this cell. <br />Cleaning this groundwater up prior to it migrating off the landfill site <br />was the initial reason why the city started permitting the landfill. To <br />that end, the landfill has completed a remedial investigation which <br />basically determined the amount of contamination and the direction of <br />its flow. <br /> <br />The initial remedial action or clean-up proposed consists of an active <br />gas venting system, which will hopefully remove volatile organic <br />compounds (VOC) from the groundwater. An active gas venting <br />system actually sucks landfill gasses out of the landfill verses a passive <br />gas venting system, which acts a lot like a sewer stack on a house. In <br />the future, the landfill proposes to either make propane from these <br />gasses or burn them to generate electricity. <br /> <br />cc-12-20s/stever <br /> <br /> <br />
