Box 430 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0430 <br />July 2, 2007 <br />To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />Jerry Takle <br />Jerry Gumphrey <br />Jim Tralle <br />From: Bryan Adams <br />Subject: PCB Shed <br />The 2007 electric budget contains a $40,000 item to construct a PCB Shed. <br />Phone: 763.441.2020 <br />Fax: 763.441.8099 <br />Electric transformers that are removed from service are required by USEPA to be non PCB <br />certified. The time between testing and non PCB certified or until PCB transformers are <br />properly disposed of, these transformers must be stored in a contained area prohibiting the <br />possible leakage of transformer oil <br />The containment area at our 1705 Main Street power plant facility has become too small and is <br />no longer adequate. It is our desire to construct a 20' x 20' enclosed storage facility at our west <br />substation facility at 19002 Elk Lake Road. This facility is directly north of the Elk River street <br />department facility. <br />Attached is a site plan and building details for your review. Estimated construction cost is <br />$32,000 with early fall 2007 completion date. Staff recommends authorization to proceed with <br />this project. The City of Elk River's planning department staff is also looking at this layout. <br />
