This original cell was unlined <br />!i or had no means of recapturing leachate (rain water or run-off that is contaminated from <br />~ coming in contact with the waste). <br />Regulation of the landfill was done only through Sherburne County and the Minnesota <br />Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). In 1987, the city successfully negotiated with the <br />owners of the landhll. They agreed to subject themselves to city regulation in return for <br />being allowed to expand, The landfill site now consists of approximately 140 acres and <br />the city has control of a solid waste license and conditional use permit on the operation. <br />These permits are required to be renewed every four years. <br />EXIIIBIT 162 <br />13065 Orono Parkway m P.O.
