One such approval is the Landfill's proposed changes <br />to their Industrial Waste Management Plan. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The Industrial Waste Management Plan sets forth parameters for the acceptance of wastes <br />based on their compatibility with the liner at the landfill and their affect on leachate and <br />its ability to be treated. The current parameters in the landfill's Industrial Waste <br />Management Plan are below the hazardous waste limits. The landfill is proposing to <br />move these parameters a lot closer to these hazardous waste limits. <br /> <br />Staff has many concerns with this issue and will be working through them with the <br />owners of the landfill. However, residents in the area also have concerns with this issue. <br /> <br />Since the landfill's Industrial Waste Management Plan is approved by staff, not the <br />Council with a public hearing, county and city staff are proposing to jointly host an <br />informational meeting on the subject for citizens to ask questions and voice concerns. <br /> <br />The informational meeting is scheduled for Thursday, March 18, 1999, at the Elk River <br />City Hall Council Chambers, starting at 7:00 p.m. Notice of this meeting will be given in <br />the Elk River Star News and the Becker Citizen. Staff anticipates the issue of active gas <br />venting as remedial action for the contamination at the landfill being another major topic <br />at the informational meeting. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
