Attachment.-S. <br />Describe the proposed project: <br />The Metropolitan Recovery Corporation (MRC) is proposing to <br />construct a waste metals central treatment and recovery <br />facility. This facility will process solid wastes, liquid <br />wastes, and ion exchange resin canisters containing <br />cadmium, chromium, copper, leadr zinc, nickel, and other <br />metals generated by metal platers, printed circuit <br />manufa::turers, and other metal finishing businesses (metal <br />finishers) primarily located in the metro area, and recover <br />metals and metal precipitates for sale and reuse. <br />Onrecoverab�e wastes will be transformed into solids to be <br />disposed in approved landfills. Organic liquids -and <br />sludges will be stored for transshipment to appropriate <br />out-of-state treatment and disposal facilities. The <br />facility will be constructed on a 4-acre site in Roseville <br />at Walnut Street and Rose Place on an undeveloped <br />industrially zoned (I-2) site. (See EAW Figures, <br />Attachments 1-5, for the project location.) <br />The site is within one of fourteen areas which the <br />Minnesota Waste Management Board selected as a preferred <br />area for plants processing hazardous chemical wastes. This <br />site is designated only for chemical treatment plants or <br />transfer/storage facilities. <br />The facility is being proposed to help metal finishing <br />shops, particularly the smallest shops who may not be aisle <br />to afford any type of' <br />tmente to Commissiont�(pWCC)with <br />andthe <br />federal <br />Metropolitan Waste Control <br />pretreatment regulations which restrict metal waste <br />discharges into the sewer system. These regulations took <br />effect on April 27, 1984. The facility is the outcome of a <br />feasibility study conducted by the Resource Recovery Task <br />Force, a group formed by the Metropolitan Council and the <br />Twin Cities Association of Metal Finishers in Aj)ril of <br />1982, which included MPCA and Waste Management Board staff. <br />The Task Force studied the feasibility of a central <br />facility to treat metal waste generated in the metro area. <br />As of August 30, 1984, 28 out of a possible total of 96 <br />Twin Cities metal finishers and electroplaters had <br />contracted to utilize the proposed central facility. <br />However, other companies included in the 96 have expressed <br />interest in utilizing the facility once it is in operation. <br />2. <br />
