Motion carried unanimously . Councilman Ranallo reported receiving several calls from residents who were greatly concerned about the possibility that. a hazardous waste site might be established in Roseville , close to St. Anthony . Councilman Marks reported he had attended a meeting .the previous evening in Roseville which he said was one of a number of informa- tional meetings sponsored by the Metro Waste Commission at which that possibility was discussed. He said the Commission is looking at the industrial area in Roseville where either a transfer or processing plant could be� built and Councilman Marks showed a map which indicated several sites near St. Anthony ,.. including two underutilized buildings , which could -be considered. The Councilman reported the concerns lam voiced by those in attendance included the population densities of potential sites which would make evacuation. in case of an emergency very difficult; the potential for ground water contamination and further pollution of lakes in Roseville into which there has already been oil seepage and dumping. The Mayor urged all the Council members to attend the hearing scheduled to be held in the North East Junior High School, .November 22nd., and suggested a resolution of opposition be passed to reflect these concerns which. could be presented at that hearing and sent to any government body or city representative who might be able to influence the decision. He recalled that at the time St. Anthony had responded to a potential emergency on its border with Roseville this summer , several EPA and Civil Defense officials had indicated that had there been an explosion of the unidentified chemicals found in abasement o'f a home and had there been a wind- from the southeast, at least 20 percent of St. Anthony would have had to be evacuated, which would have been very difficult, if not impossible. He also agreed with Councilman Marks that an accident involving one of the trucks trans- porting the. hazardous. waste on County Road C, Highway 88 , or 35W would no doubt create an emergency for St. Anthony and he indicated he intends to discuss their mutual concerns with Roseville mayor Demos . Judy Makowske,. .a member of the City Planning Commission, was present to ascertain .what the ramifications of siting such a plant in Rose- ville might be for the City and to express her own opposition to such a siting.
