Minimize the amount af wastes deposited at the landfiil. <br />2. The Ramsey/Washin.gton County Was�e-to-Energy Facility will <br />not have the capability of removing such residential wastes <br />on a large scale basis. <br />It zs with this second position that our Committee needs some <br />enlightenFnent, especially because current and foreseeable market <br />conditions for recyclables are visibly unstable and, cansequently, <br />source separated recyclables may be destined �or the landfill as <br />"processed" waste. <br />As more and more communities turn to waste abatement, locai <br />recycling facilities may very well become inundated with <br />recyclab�e newspapers, bottles and cans, and have nowhere to turn <br />to because the market is nonexist�nt_ <br />Our Committee has "heard" tha� the Ramsey/Washington Cou�ty <br />Waste-to-Energy Praj.ect has the potential for the specific purpose <br />of hand�ing/removing all af Ramsey and Wa�hington Counties' wastes <br />that are currently being viewed as recyclable. However, such <br />facilities have not been included in the current construction <br />plans. We wi21 appreciate yaur earliest possible reply regarding <br />this potential facility_ Of particuiar int�rest are: Does such <br />a potential exist? Was it ever proposed/considered? If so, what <br />were the estimated capital, operating and maintenance costs, and <br />what did �hese estimated costs amount ta on a per household basis? <br />
