• Variations from 2002 end use layouts to 2008 end use layouts: • Location of the future TH 169 interchange at 221St Avenue as currently proposed by MNDOT varies from the layout MNDOT had proposed back in 2002. The landfill design included in the 2008 end use conceptual layouts represent MNDOT's current design for this interchange. • The footprint of the landfill has been revised multiple times from that shown on the drawing from 2002. o The western side of the landfill was modified such that there is now a 200-foot grading buffer in an effort to preserve those trees that will remain following mining of the property. This is accurately shown on the 2008 end use conceptual drawings. o As noted above, the eastern side of the landfill was modified based on MNDOT's plans for the TH 169 interchange at 221St Avenue. o The southern side of the landfill was revised to allow additional space for future commercial development along 221St Avenue. • The 2002 conceptual drawings did not account for some of the on-site infrastructure associated with the site. o The location of the existing office/shop and landfill gas to energy building are not • depicted on the 2002 end use plans. o The potential HHW facility and future additional landfill gas to energy building are not shown on the 2002 end use plans. Variations from 2008 end use layouts to the final design layout: As shown on the site development plans included with this application, the location of the potential future HHW facility is proposed near the existing office/shop building at the northern edge of the City of Elk River. The conceptual drawings included as part of the End Use P/an have the potential HHW facility located in the SDA near the future landfill gas-to-energy plant. Proposing the HHW facility near the existing office/shop building will allow for better traffic flow at the facility, as well as allow for the potential development of the HHW facility in the near term and use of existing infrastructure. The footprint of the landfill has been revised along the southern and eastern sides of the landfill from that shown on the 2008 end use conceptual drawings. The revised footprint, as shown on the site development plans, allows additional space for future commercial development along 221St Avenue and TH 169. The effort to increase the amount available space for future commercial developments was based on comments received from City staff and City Council members. • Elk River Landfill SDA Land Use Application Section 1-9 Bonestroo -~Wencl<
