NIL-. Minnesota Pollution Control Agency <br />Study of Residential Waste & Recyclable Material Collection Efficiency, <br />Economic & Environmental Impacts Related to Municipal Collection <br />The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is funding a study of residential waste and recyclable <br />material collection arrangements statewide. This study will look at waste collection services and <br />arrangements currently in place in the state's municipalities and the dynamics of their implementation. <br />Information gained from this study will be used to determine the best methods for ensuring that local waste <br />and recyclable material collection systems are efficient, economic and environmentally sound. <br />We have selected an independent contractor, Foth, to collect information as it relates to current waste and <br />recyclable material collection practices and to gather pertinent data to achieve the study's goals. <br />Completion of this work will occur before the end of FYO9. The Contract Manager for this study is Jeff <br />Schneider from MPCA's Prevention and Assistance Division. <br />This statewide effort will help to identify and quantify the environmental, economic, and public health <br />impacts and gauge public opinion related to the collection of residential waste and recyclable materials. <br />The goal of this study is to provide state and local units of government such as yours with a broad set of <br />facts to assist in evaluating residential waste and recyclable materials collection systems and programs. <br />The information that will be compiled will be available to provide information for future stakeholder <br />discussions. <br />The attached survey primarily contains Yes/No or fill in the blank questions to minimize your time <br />to complete it. If you have documents such as contracts or tonnage reports that are readily <br />available, we would appreciate receiving a copy. I will contact you in a few days to help you work <br />through the survey. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me <br />directly. <br />Jessie Graveen <br />Foth Infrastructure & Environment, LLC <br />8550 Hudson Boulevard North, Suite 105 <br />Lake Elmo, MN 55042 <br />jgraveenAfoth.com <br />Telephone: (651) 288-8586 <br />Fax: (651) 288-8552 <br />Thank you very much for your assistance. <br />X:\MS\IE\2008\08MO81\10000reports\FinalAppendices\AppendixA3 -In-depth Open System Survey Questions Final.doc <br />
