CITY OF MEDINA
RESOLUTION NO. 3 1-
RESOLUTION REGARDING ACCEPTANCE
OF WATER TREATMENT FACILITY
RESIDUE AT WOODLAKE SANITARY LANDFILL
WHEREAS, Woodlake Sanitary Service, Inc. (Woodlake) operates a sanitary
landfill for mixed municipal solid waste (Landfill) within the City of Medina
under the terms of a conditional use permit (CUP); and
WHEREAS, Woodlake has requested permission to accept residue from the
City of Bloomington's water treatment facility at the Landfill; and
WHEREAS, the residue may not be placed in the Landfill without specific
approval by the city council because the residue is not mixed municipal solid
waste within the meaning of Minn. Stat., Section 115A.03, subd. 21; and
WHEREAS, the residue had previously been placed in Flying Cloud landfill
in Eden Prairie but can no longer be sent there due to the temporary closure
of that landfill; and
WHEREAS, the City of Bloomington is able to retain only small quantities
of the residue on site due to very limited storage available at its water
treatment facility; and
WHEREAS, the residue has been tested by the Minnesota pollution control
agency and deemed to present no environmental threat which would prevent its
placement in sanitary landfills; and
WHEREAS, the city council has reviewed the environmental risks posed by
acceptance of the residue and is aware of the urgency of Bloomington's need to
dispose of the material following the abrupt closure of its primary disposal
facility.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Medina
that Woodlake is hereby granted approval to accept water treatment facility
residue at the Landfill, subject to the following conditions:
1. Residue may be accepted only from the City of Bloomington's water treat-
ment facility;
2. Permission to accept the residue at the Landfill is valid only through
September 1, 1988, or upon opening of Bloomington's on -site storage
facility, whichever occurs first;
3. The City retains the right to amend or revoke permission to accept
residue if the chemical nature of the residue is altered or if evidence
exists of environmental hazards posed by placement of the residue in the
Landfill;
4. Woodlake shall not accept residue on Sundays and shall in all other
respects comply with the terms and conditions of the CUP with regard to
handling wastes accepted at the Landfill, including the payment of fees
authorized by the CUP and Minn. Stat., Section 115A.921; and
5. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to alter or amend any
provision of the CUP.
