1. WOODLAKE LANDFILL, ASH APPLICATION
Thomas Anderson presented background of review for disposal of Type I ash at Woodlake
landfill. He explained that the County Commissioners had passed a resolution agreeing
to all conditions Medina had requested, including no composting or co -composting in
Medina, including the Elwell farm; once the landfill is filled Medina will be out of
the solid waste business. He stated.through statuatory powers, one thing that might have
happened is that the Klaers and Elwell farms might have been used for many years for compost
material, if Hennepin County exercised its authority. He reported that a resolution is
prepared for city council to act upon.
Stephen Schmit stated that he would like to have a chance to voice his opinion on the matter.
Robert Mitchell stated that the council should discuss the issue among themselves.
Wilfred scherer stated that there had been enough input from the public.
Anne Theis asked that questions not be allowed from the public and that she would like to
have a report on the referendum question.
Thomas Anderson stated that a letter supporting approval of the permit had been received
from the City of Loretto.
Ron Batty explained that it is not possible to hold a referendum on the proposal as state
statute does not allow except for bonding, changing city charter and similar questions and
that expenditure of public money for holding such referendums is unlawful.
Thomas Anderson called for council discussion of the resolution.
Robert Mitchell made several -suggestions for change.
Stephen Schmit stated that there is a difference of opinion on the differential settlement.
Mike Panzer of Wenck associates, stated that the cities numbers would be used on that issue.
Stephen Schmit asked what would happen to the leachate if the permit maximum was reached.
Rollin Smith of Browning -Ferris, stated that the permit had been amended and that there is
the ability for storage in the sedementation basin.
Robert Mitchell stated that if Type I is allowed work will continue on the Type II application
as the Type II facility is more condusive to ash. He stated that the applicant will not ask
for future expansion and that all truck facilities will be off of the property within 30
months after closure of the landfill. He stated that Medina would receive $2.10 per ton
for the ash, operation hours will be 8:00 to 5:00 P.M.; the applicant and Hennepin County
have guaranteed financial assurances; Hennepin County has agreed to supply water if a
problem develops. He stated that he was satisfied that this was a good arrangement.
Stephen Schmit stated that he was not in favor of the project; that the proposed site is
not a good temporary site and that a permanent site should be found prior to starting up
the incincerator; regarding the leachate he stated that the Metro system is meant for
human, not hazardous waste and he would rather see BFI continue to fill the landfill until
1996. He stated that this is the cities chance to tell big government, "no!"
Anne Theis stated that although the city has succeeded in negotiating a very good document
she was extremely concerned about the old landfill; had the Type II application been worked
on she would not abject to this and that she could not, in good conscience, support the
permit.

do with them, for instance, they had tm quit hauling compost to the Klaers farm because
