Conditional Use Permit and Solid Waste Facility <br />Narrative <br />The current cofiring proposal will result in little or no perceivable changes to the <br />operation of the Elk River Station by the general public. Cofiring of the requested <br />alternate fuels will not require; <br />Physical modifications to existing building structures, <br />Construction of any new structures, <br />Alteration or addition of roadways. <br />I ncreases in employee parking or staffing levels, <br />Changes in fuel delivery schedules, <br />if a particular fuel source is identified that offers a longterm supply at a price that is <br />competitive with RDF, GRE would likely evaluate additional fuel storage and handling <br />facilities, At that time, we would talk with the City to determine if the CUP would need to <br />be amended, <br />3.2. Alternate FteI Delivery and t~rage <br />Alternate fuels would be delivered directly to Eik River Station via the same route <br />currently approved for the RDF trucks in the CUP, <br />The req uested alternate fuels would be delivered in covered trucks and unloaded in the <br />existing RDF receiving barn, <br />A similar number ar fewer trucks would deliver fuel to Elk River station. On a daily <br />basis, Elk River station historically operates very near its permitted capacity of x,050 <br />tons of RDF per day. TDF fuel has a higher heating value than RDF and would result in <br />fewer trucks arriving at the site, vlload and wood wastes have heating values and <br />densities similar to RDF and truck traffic volumes are not expected to increase <br />significantly. <br />S;1Lega1lEnvironmentailERSlAirlCity of ER - Cand.UsePermit120~9 Alt Fuels AmendmentlER CUP Amend Narrative <br />v2.doc <br />Page 4 of ~ <br />
