We have attached a copy of the report for your records. Braun's Phase I report concluded that "...research and on-site observations did not produce documented or observable environmental hazards associated with past or present land use activities at the site. In addition, our research did not produce documented evidence indicating that environmental hazards from off-site sources have affected the site. ", and that "...no issues have been raised which would warrant further investigation. II Based on the report, the County decided soil sampling was not warranted prior to site construction. Since HHW collections began in 1992, the Division of Solid Waste has conducted regular inspections of site operations. In addition, the County and Dynex have staged annual on-site emergency response scenarios, such as responding to a spill or a medical emergency (see attached scenario examples). During the 1994 site operating period, Ramsey County staff has conducted weekly inspections (see attached inspectioin form). The inspections reveal that Dynex continues to operate the site in a satisfactory manner. In conclusion, we believe that the results of the Phase I report and continued site monitoring will help protect the environment at and around the HHW collection site.
