May 6, 2009 (E-Mail from Mike Hanan Otter Tail County Solid Waste Director) <br />Jeff: <br />I have reviewed the organized collection study and I have seen comments by both Mark Gamm <br />and Doug Morris. I think that both Mark and Doug have presented good comments and have <br />asked good questions. I also was struck by the fact that everything within the study seems to <br />indicate that there are both environmental and societal benefits to organized collection in both <br />the metropolitan area as well as in the more rural cities and counties. I would strongly suggest <br />that the MPCA and the state of Minnesota not place this study (and the potential benefits of <br />organized collection) on a shelf somewhere to be forgotten. In Minnesota, we like to believe that <br />we are leaders in the area of environmental protection and in environmental policy. This is <br />likely an area that we are taking a backseat to most of the rest of the country. <br />Mike <br />X:\MS\IE\2008\08M081\10000 reports\Final Appendices\Appendix I1 -Public Comments.doc <br />
