Attachment C Roseville Interim Use Permit Application ATTACHMENT A ARRATIVE DESCRIBING PROPOSED SITE AND SITE OPERATIONS N FOR RAMSEY COUNTY’S SEASONAL HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE (HHW) COLLECTION SITE IN ROSEVILLE, MN. BACKGROUND Minnesota law requires metropolitan counties to provide for collection of household hazardous waste (HHW). Ramsey County has provided HHW collection services to County residents since 1991. The County’s current vendor for providing HHW collection services is Bay West, Inc. Bay West operates a year-round HHW collection site at its headquarters in Saint Paul, as well as seasonal (satellite) sites in Arden Hills, Maplewood, Roseville, and two satellite locations in Saint Paul. These satellite sites typically operate for two days per week, with locations changing each month between April and October. The Roseville HHW site is located along the 1700 block of N. Kent Street, just north of Larpenteur Avenue and approximately two blocks east of Dale Street, on property owned by Ramsey County. This site has served the community for 29 consecutive years, since 1992. Permit History. In July of 1992, the City of Roseville granted Ramsey County a two-year Interim Use Permit that allowed HHW collection in 1992 and 1993. The City granted another two-year Interim Use Permit for the site in July of 1994. The City granted successive five-year Interim Use Permits in May of 1996, in June of 2001, in June of 2006, in April of 2011 and in May of 2017. DESCRIPTION OF SITE AND SITE OPERATIONS Site History. Prior to applying for the original Interim Use permit in 1992, Ramsey County contracted with Braun Intertec to perform a Phase I environmental evaluation of the proposed site. The 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. No issues have been raised which would warrant further investigation.” Based on this report, the County determined that soil sampling was not warranted. This information was submitted as part of the 1992 Interim Use permit application to the City of Roseville. HHW Site Description. The seasonal HHW site in Roseville is located on County-owned property east of and adjacent to Kent Street, just north of Larpenteur Avenue. The HHW collection site consists of a waste collection area and a vehicle queuing and exit area. The HHW collection area includes a reinforced concrete slab measuring 18 feet long by 38 feet wide that is surrounded by an asphalt apron. The slab is sealed with an epoxy coating and designed for spill containment. The vehicle queuing and exit areas are paved bituminous asphalt surfaces that provide access to the collection area from Kent Street, and include security gates located at the site entrance and exit drives along Kent St. An earthen berm borders the site to the south and east. A portable sign displaying the site operating schedule and a telephone number for the HHW program is posted on site during each collection period. Attachment A Page 1 of 2
