Old Lake Jane Landfill - Status Report by Washington County on Cleanup & Monitoring At its August 4th meeting, the City Council approved the County's request to pump out and spray water from Monitoring Well "I" at the old landfill. At that time, the City Council directed the City staff to invite Washington County staff or consultants to appear at the next Council meeting in order to update the City Council on the status of the landfill cleanup and monitoring of water quality in the private drinking water systems. Paul Josephson, representing Washington County reported that the Lake --Jane landfill which operated from 1969-75 was the first permanent landfill in the state at a time when there were not a lot of rules and - regulations. This kind of landfill would never be allowed in the State of Minnesota again. According to Josephson, efforts will continue to concentrate on the northwest corner of the landfill area where contamination levels are highest. Pumping and air stripping (spraying of water) will continue there. He added that some wells -have no concentrations of contamination, other contain acceptable levels, and still others exceed acceptabe limits. He noted the groundwater seems to flow in a southerly direction through the area, -picking up residue from the landfill itself. Mary Luth, County Public Health Dept., noted becasue of the ground water levels dropping, they are considering pumping well "A" located just south of well "I" along Jamaca Avenue. They are not prepared to talk about it now, but will put something in writing to the City Council when they have more information. - 6. PLANNING, LAND USE AND ZONING A.
