May 14, 2009 (E-Mail Notice of Minnesota Solid Waste Administrators Association Executive Board's Plan to Discuss the MPCA Study of Waste Collection Service Arrangements on June 18, 2009) Mark Gamin Dodge County EQ Director 22 6th Street East Mantorville, MN 55955 Good Morning: Please plan to attend a SWAA Exec Board meeting on June 18 in St. Cloud from 10 AM to 2:30 PM. I will send you agenda and meeting location information soon. Please let me know if there are any particular issues you would like to add to the agenda: So far, I anticipate: 1. A discussion of 2009 legislative session including Paint Bill communication 2. SWAA Annual Conference 3. Review of MPCA GHG Stakeholder process (and other stakeholder meetings) 4. MPCA's Study of Waste Collection Service Arrangements AT 11:00 AM - MPCA STAFF WILL LEAD a discussion proposed landfill rulemaking driven by legislative mandates passed in May 2008. The Legislature required the MPCA to promulgate new rules before it issues permits for any new landfills in Minnesota, with few exceptions. The MPCA is to report back to the Legislature in January 2010, before it completes the process. Here are the mandates: (1) The MPCA is to develop rule language requiring improved financial assurance at landfills. Financial assurance is a guarantee that a landfill operator puts up to ensure the public doesn't have to pay for emergency response, closure, or post -closure care. Under current rules, not all types of landfills have to put up financial guarantees. The kind of financial mechanism is likely to be an issue, as well as the scope. (2) The MPCA is to write rules taking hydrogeological sensitivity into account when landfills are sited.
