Minnesota Pollution Control Agency regarding SW1 Nile R. Fellows, MPCA Project Mgr, and Gregg Rocheford, MPCA Staff Hydrogeologist gave an update regarding the Lake Jane landfill. The MPCA has a $2.2 million plan to place a cap over the contaminated fill site and a new methane gas extraction system. Currently, the Public Works Dept., Fire Station No. 2 and compost site are on the 110 acre landfill site. The fire station #2 and the compost site will have to be relocated, but the maintenance building was said to be approx. 150' horizontally away from the fill area and is not proposed to be relocated by the MPCA. Administrator Kueffner has stated in the past that the city should not have to pay for a new station. She was not convinced that the fill area is far enough away from the maintenance building and voiced her concern of the health, safety, and welfare of the employees there. Councilman DeLapp was concerned about the aesthetics of the proposed project since the property is between a residential neighborhood and a park. He suggested planting a few thousand shrubs in the area. Council member Johnston inquired if the methane could be transformed into usable energy. Nile Fellows said there was not enough energy for such a project. The project is still pending agreements with Ramsey and Washington Counties.
