Permit condition #2: Work with City staffto prepare biannual review/monitoring and inspection of area outside of concrete area. Following City Council approval of the permit extension in June_of 1994, staff from the City of Roseville met with Ramsey County staff at the Roseville site in September of 1994 to discuss the permit condition regarding site review/monitoring and inspection. City and County staff agreed at that time that there was no need to conduct soil sampling, and that the terms of the permit condition would be fulfilled by the County's site inspection program and County reporting to the City on site usage each year. Permit condition #3: If changes occur in the operator, operations or uses, they must be reviewed and approved by the City. There were no changes in operations or uses at the Roseville seasonal collection site during 1998. As stated earlier in this report, the change in operator has been in name only. Staff once employed by Dynex Industries to operate the Ramsey County HHW program are now employed by the new owner, Superior Special Services. Permit condition #4: The site must be monitored and maintained during the entire year, and existing interim use permit conditions, which have not been amended, still apply. In addition to the site monitoring and inspection program described above, the Environmental Health Section has developed a year-round site observation program that uses personnel from the County Public Works Department, Public Health Department, and the Woodview detention facility on Kent S1. Staff from Public Works and W oodview routinely drive by the site as part of their regular duties, and have been asked to notify the Environmental Health Section if site maintenance is needed. Staff from the Environmental Health Section also periodically drive by the site. Also, gates at the site entrance and exit drives are locked year-round to prevent unauthorized access. Permit condition #5: Site signage is approved subject to staff approval with notations of a hot-line for citizen call-ins when something unusual occurs. Signs that include the telephone number for the Environmental Health Section are posted year-round on the entrance and exit gates at the site. Following the last day of collection at the site in May and September of 1998, a "Site Closed" sign was also posted near the site entrance gate. On the signpost was a brochure dispenser with flyers promoting the 1998 HHW operating schedule. Ramsey County offers two year-round HHW collection sites: at Superior Special Services in Mounds View, and at the Ramsey County Recycling Center, 775 N. Rice Street in Saint Paul. Both year-round sites are conveniently located to Roseville residents. Page 2 of2 Saint Paul - Ramsey County Department of Public Health Environmental Health Section 11/16/98
