vegetation on the berms and the three rows of trees are scheduled to be planted this <br />spring. , <br /> <br />AIR EMMISSIONS AND ODOR: The conditional use permit has control mechanisms <br />requiring Tiller to cut back on the amount of recycled asphalt they used when odor <br />becomes an issue and even stop operations under certain weather condition (e.g. an <br />inversion). Their air emission permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency <br />regulates particulates, opacity, etc. and requires periodic testing. The plant is equipped <br />with a bag house. The most recent reporting on Tiller's bag house testing is attached. <br />Also attached is an article regarding a national ecological award Tiller recently won <br />for this particular plant. Complaints should go to Tiller first so they can adjust their <br />operation and then to the city, only if Tiller does not respond appropriately. <br /> <br />REVIEW OF PERMIT: There is no sunset clause on the attached conditional use <br />permit. If warranted, the Council can direct this permit back through the process with <br />public hearing. It would first go to the Planning Commission for review and <br />recommendation. Staff feels Tiller's asphalt plant is well run under a strict <br />conditional use permit and does not feel requiring an additional review is <br />warranted. <br /> <br /> <br />
