LARKIN, HOFFMAN, DALY & LINDGREN, LTD. Mayor June Demos September.5, 1984 Page 2 Circuits, Roseville, and Superior Plating, Minneapolis. Trucks would travel to and from the Facility exclusively via Highway 280 - Transfer Road and 35W - County Road C. Some of the Facility's waste input and part of its output will be classed as hazardous waste under county, state, and federal regulations. In common sense terms, however, neither the substances produced nor the process itself will be particularly hazardous. Because of the many regulatory requirements which will apply to its construction and operation, the Facility will be as safe a use as many others within this section of the City. The Facility will primarily be a water -based sludge -making, neutrali- zation, dewatering, and solidification system for heavy metal wastes. The various aqueous substances received, produced, and transshipped from this process will not be volatile or explosive. There will be acidic and alkali liquids which are corrosive and which will be neutralized. In addition, drums containing volatile organics will be placed in a secure area within the Facility for short-term storage awaiting direct transshipment to other waste treatment and disposal facilities in other states. The Facility will be sited in a 60,000 square foot warehouse like building with a brick or masonary exterior. It is anticipated that industrial revenue bonds issued by the State Department of Energy and Economic Development will be used, in part, to finance its construction and that it will have a taxable value of approximately $6 Million on completion. One-half of the site is not planned for use by the Facility. This land will be held for resale to an industrial user which would benefit by proximity to the Facility, The Facility can be constructed only following the receipt of zoning authorization and the issuance of permits by Ramsey County, the Metro Waste Control Commission, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and the Federal Environmental Protection Agency. The construction and operation will be conditioned in numerous ways to ensure ultimate protection for the public's health, safety, and welfare. It is anticipated that the full regulatory process will take approximately nine to twelve months to complete. An Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) is currently being prepared for the Facility and will shortly be transmitted to the City and the PCA. An EAW was approved for the Facility at another site in the City.pf Minneapolis last year. The ability to construct the Facility in the City of Roseville would be a significant benefit not only to the nearby industrial users, but to the metropolitan area as a whole. There is no similar facility available in the State of Minnesota to small and medium sized
