CU 87-02 <br /> <br />ISSUE <br /> <br />Renewal of solid waste facility license and conditional use <br />permit. <br /> <br />LOCATION <br /> <br />The northwest corner of the intersection of US Highway 169 and <br />US Highway 10 (17845 Highway 10, Elk River). <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />Location Map, Site Plan, Correspondence from UPA dated November <br />30, 1993, Correspondence from John Lichter, City Environmental <br />Consultant, dated December 20, 1993, and draft solid waste <br />~ license and conditional use permit. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />UPA first made application for a solid waste facility license <br />and conditional use permit to burn refuse derived fuel (RDF) in <br />1986, and gained approval of that permit in 1987. UPA must <br />renew their conditional use permit every two years. They are <br />also required to have an air emissions permit by the Minnesota <br />Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for the operation of their <br />plant. <br /> <br />ZONING <br /> <br />The UPA site is zoned Solid Waste Facility (SWF), which is an <br />overlay district. The underlying zoning of this site is Light <br />Industrial (11). <br /> <br />PAST PERFORMANCE <br /> <br />As you can note on the 3rd page of the correspondence from UPA, <br />the number of exceedences to their emissions standards has <br />dropped each year they have operated down to 1 exceedence in <br />1993. UPA has been very cooperative at identifying the causes <br />for exceedences and taking corrective action. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />The above mentioned exceedences were on standards that are <br />continuously monitored (HLC and CO) at the UPA facility.
