CITY OF- FR©LEY <br />6031 UNIVLR S I I Y AVI.N11L N.V. FII IDLE Y. MRI Nf S0 TA 55432 <br />i IIf PNON E. ,612:571.3450 <br />November 29, 1982 <br />Mr. Don Pauley <br />Clerk i <br />2401 Highway #10 . <br />Moundsview, MN 51112 <br />Subject: Hazardous Waste Processing Site ~ <br />Dear Mr. Pauley: <br />On September 23, 1982, the Minnesota Waste Management Board identified twc <br />areas within the City of Fridley as preliminary hazardous waste processinc <br />sites. Prior to this notice, the City was not consulted or specific <br />information diseminated in regards to the Board's study. <br />As a means of identifying preliminary hazardous waste processing sites, the <br />Waste Management Board used four manditory criteria: avoidance of shorelands <br />and flood plains, industrial zoning, presence of sewer service and availability <br />of 9 ton roads. The last two mandatory criteria resulted in eliminating from <br />�- consideration all industrial zoned property which did not have municipal <br />service. Accordingly the area of search was reduced and limited only to <br />existing developed property. <br />73e areas identified within the City of Fridley are directly involved with the <br />surface water run-off into the Mississippi River above the St. Paul and <br />Minneapolis municipal water intake systems and within close proximity to the <br />City's municipal water wells. %lie potential contamination of the metropolitan <br />water systems as a result of a hazardous waste accident requires the immediate <br />elimination of the areas in the City. <br />Based upon the diminished area of search, the misconceived criteria, the <br />significant health impact and the failure to aggresively pursue existing on - <br />site processing facilities, the City opposed the siting of hazardous waste <br />processing facilities within the corporate limits by Resolution #100-1982. <br />Request you support the City of Fridley Resolution in opposition to locating <br />hazardous waste processing facilities within the City limits. <br />Sincerely, <br />A��h.. <br />NASIM M.
