<br /> <br /> <br />I reached out to Ramsey County to find out if it would be possible to utilize the Ardan <br />Park compost site for dropping off “woody” storm debris. I spoke with John Springman, <br />Environmental Health Supervisor for the County, who indicated that it would not be <br />possible to temporarily use Ardan Park, and he cited a couple reasons: <br /> <br />1. The site is not licensed for such use—apparently there are state and local <br />permits that would be required. <br />2. The site is too close to residential units who would be bothered by the loud noise <br />of industrial tree chippers. <br />3. Allowing drop off of woody materials, even temporarily, will cause future <br />problems as residents will expect the site would always be able to accommodate <br />the debris. <br />4. Finally, there are space limitations at the Ardan Park site that would make such a <br />drop off impractical if not impossible. <br /> <br />Thus, as much as they’d like to be flexible in this instance, it will not be possible to use <br />Ardan Park. Two other sites are recommended: <br /> <br />1. Arden Hills Brush Site (South of County E2) <br />3530 Hudson Ave, Arden Hills <br />2. White Bear Township site (South of County Rd J) <br />5900 Sherwood Rd, White Bear Township <br /> <br />For more information, call (651) 633-3279 <br />
