• The proposed end use options that are available upon closure of the facility include a large amount of open space (see Exhibit 5). End use options proposed for consideration by the City Council include passive and/or active recreational facilities, attractive open space and trail connections, along with land available for commercial development along TH 169 and 221St Avenue. Long term, the proposed open space planned for the site would be compatible with any adjacent future residential development to the west, and actually provide an amenity for future residents. The end use concepts provide for public access of the spectacular view of the Rice Lake wetland complex to the west of the site that would otherwise not be visible from any other vantage point. The open space and recreational uses will be integrated into the planned trail system, which includes the potential for a trail connecting the existing neighborhoods to the west of the SDA to the City's Railroad Hiking Trail. These end use plans may be implemented in phases as the ERL closes the landfill. 9. Development Schedule The SDA will be constructed in a series of phased construction projects. The timing of the projects will be dictated by incoming waste volumes and site operations. See Section 1.2.5 Table 1, which indicates the anticipated SDA construction schedule based on current and anticipated waste volumes. 2.3.7 GRADING/DRAINAGE PLAN AND DRAINAGE CALCULATIONS See Section 1.2.6 of this application. The Grading/Drainage Plan is provided on Sheets 1 and 2 • and the Drainage Calculations are provided in Exhibit 4. 2.3.8 BUILDING ELEVATIONS AND FLOOR PLANS The Development Plan includes proposed structures for a second landfill gas to energy building, leachate tank, and a potential new Household Hazardous Waste Facility (HHWF). The specific location and design of these structures has not been determined, but is approximated on the Development Plan. The Development Plan shows the anticipated location of these structures and demonstrates the proposed access and circulation to/from these structures. 2.3.9 OUTDOOR STORAGE No additional outdoor storage is proposed. Storage will occur within existing structures and the potential new HHWF. The location of the potential new HHWF is shown on the Development Plan. 2.3.10 WETLAND DELINATION One Type 3 or 4 wetland is located in the southwest corner of the SDA. This wetland has not been delineated. This wetland will not be impacted by landfill operations as it is located within the 200 foot wooded buffer between the landfill grading limits and the western property line. The extent of wetland in the subject area southwest of the Elk River Landfill, located in the SE'/a of the SE ~/a of Section 4, T.33, R.26, was approximated by conducting a desktop review of GIS data layers and aerial photographs, which are presented in Exhibit 8. A field wetland delineation was not conducted at this time because it is outside of the growing season. A complete field delineation will be conducted during the growing season when conditions warrant to confirm the • wetland boundary, anticipated to be mid May.
