From the <br />beginning of the planning process it has a1ways been the intention of Ramsey County to <br />recycle the aggregate from the existing Larpenteur Avellue and rellse this aggregate in the <br />new concrete. The concrete which was removed form the first phase of Larpenteur <br />Avenue was hauled to and is currently stored at the detention pit. <br /> <br />Because of public concern which has becn raised over the potential crushing operation, <br />R:lI-nsey County has investigated options for the removal, reuse and replacement of the <br />concrete on Larpenteur A vcnuc. The options are as follows: <br /> <br />OPTION A - Remove and Haul the concrete from Larpcntcur Avenuc to the detention pit. <br />Crush the concrete from phase I and the rest of Larpenteur A venue at the detention pit. <br />Batch new concrete at the detcntion pit. <br /> <br />OPTION B - Remove and Haul the concrete Larpenteur Avenuc to another location. Haul <br />thc concrete from phase I from the detention pit to another location. Crush the concrete <br />from both phase I and the rest of Larpenteur Avenuc at a remote location. Batch new <br />concrete at another location. <br /> <br />A third option, which consisted of disposing of the existing concrete and using new virgin <br />materials for new concrete, was considered. This option was dismissed because it docs <br />not provide recycling and reuse of the existing, good quality materials. <br /> <br />Minnesota's First Home Rule County <br />prilJII!II.on rt'I')rrt~~1 paper \tilh I minimum of LO~ po5t-cUn!lIlIler ('nnltnt <br />
