Describe the proposed project: <br /> The Metropolitan Recovery Corporation (MRC) is proposing to <br /> construct a waste metals central treatment and recovery <br /> facility. This facility will process solid wastes , liquid <br /> wastes, and ion exchange resin canisters containing <br /> cadmium, chromium, copper , lead, zinc, nickel , and other <br /> metals generated by metal platers, printed circuit <br /> manufacturers, and other metal finishing businesses (metal <br /> finishers) primarily located in the metro area, and recover <br /> metals and metal precipitates for sale and reuse. <br /> Unrecoverable wastes will be transformed into solids to be <br /> disposed in approved landfills. Organic liquids and <br /> sludges will be stored for transshipment to appropriate <br /> out-of-state treatment and disposal facilities. The <br /> facility will be constructed on a 4-acre site in Roseville <br /> at Walnut Street and Rose Place on an undeveloped <br /> industrially zoned ( I-2 ) site. (See EAW Figures, <br /> Attachments 1-5, for the project location. ) <br /> The site is within one of fourteen areas which the <br /> Minnesota Waste Management Board selected as a preferred <br /> area for plants processing hazardous chemical wastes. This <br /> site is designated only for chemical treatment plants or <br /> transfer/storage facilities. <br /> The facility is being proposed to help metal finishing <br /> shops, particularly the smallest shops who may not be able <br /> to afford any type of treatment, to comply with the <br /> Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC) and federal <br /> pretreatment regulations which restrict metal waste <br /> discharges into the sewer system. These regulations took <br /> effect on April 27, 1984. The facility is the outcome of a <br /> feasibility study conducted by the Resource Recovery Task <br /> Force, a group formed by the Metropolitan Council and the <br /> Twin Cities Association of Metal Finishers 'in April of <br /> 1982, which included MPCA and Waste Management Board staff. <br /> The Task Force studied the feasibility of a central <br /> facility to treat metal waste generated in the metro area. <br /> As of August 30, 1984 , 28 out of a possible total of 96 <br /> Twin Cities metal finishers and electroplaters had <br /> contracted to utilize the proposed central facility. <br /> However , other companies included in the 96 have expressed <br /> interest in utilizing the facility once it is in operation. • <br /> 2. <br />
