waste materials from metal finishing companies to the Facility. <br />Equipment including separators, filters and tanks will be installed <br />and constructed within the building to process and extract metals <br />from the wastes received. <br />Metals will be recovered from inorganic solutions, sludges, and <br />ion exchange canisters which operate like water softeners. Bulk <br />shipments of relatively concentrated solutions will be processed to <br />extract metals and to make metal precipitates. Certain metal sludges <br />will be accepted for further dewatering and processing. Cyanide <br />destruction and chromium reduction processes will be installed at <br />the Facility 'to process waste solutions. Nickel and chromium will <br />be recovered from waste by plating them out of solution. Other, <br />metals will be recovered by precipitating hydroxides, which in turn <br />will be dewatered and processed for recovery or for further fixation. <br />The Facility will also contain equipment for mixing wastes to produce <br />inert solids suitable for disposal at secure landfills. Mixed metal <br />sludges and solutions which are not amenable to recovery will be <br />processed through precipitation, solids dewatering, waste water <br />clarification and neutralization, and physical and chemical fixation. <br />All aspects of the Facility, from construction to transportation <br />and operation will be developed to comply with and be subject to a <br />regulatory process designed to provide the utmost care for human <br />safety. Limitations will be placed on the type and amount of waste <br />residuals which can be processed and stored. Facility construction <br />and operation plans will be subject to review and permitting by the <br />City of Roseville, Ramsey County, the Minnesota Pollution Control <br />Agency, the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission, the Metropolitan <br />Council, the Waste Management Board, and the Federal Environmental <br />Protection Agency. These agencies have the authority to require <br />modification of the Facility proposal and its use and operation and <br />to impose requirements necessary to fully protect the public health, <br />safety, and welfare. Following its construction, the Facility will <br />be continually reviewed and inspected) both the process and the site <br />will be monitored. <br />Numerous safety features including the following will be incorporated: <br />* Wastes accepted at the Facility will be pretested and subject <br />to manifest certification requirements. Only specifically <br />permitted wastes will be accepted at the Facility and only <br />certified waste batches will be processed. <br />* Shipments to the Facility will be exclusively controlled by <br />the Facility operators. No random deliveries will be allowed. <br />* A maximum of 50 trucks will deliver waste to the Facility <br />each day. Truck routing will be exclusively controlled by <br />the operator and will utilize the interstate system and two <br />short local access routes through an industrial Lrea. There <br />will be no transportation of incoming or outgoiikkq materials <br />through or proximate to resit--:ntial areas. <br />
