MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: March 22, 1996 <br /> TO: Michael Morrison, City Manager <br /> FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant <br /> ITEM: Meeting with MPCA re: Schnitzer Clean-up Matter <br /> This morning, Mark Kastor of Dorsey & Whitney met with several officials of the MPCA <br /> to discuss the possibility of moving St. Anthony to the de minimis group. Mark's primary <br /> argument was that the City of St. Anthony could not have possibly generated 5,116 pounds <br /> of batteries in a four year period because the City simply did not have the vehicles to <br /> support that generation figure. He went on to say that the batteries were probably as the <br /> result of St. Anthony's early recycling efforts. His letter to the MPCA is attached for your <br /> information. <br /> The MPCA said that the guidelines to determine who gets placed in what group is not <br /> based on generation or how it was generated, but on what was taken to Schnitzer. Since <br /> the weight tickets show St. Anthony responsible for 5,116 pounds of batteries, we will <br /> continue to be considered an RP — according to the "process" that is in place. They <br /> suggested that we have options because St. Anthony is part of the RP Group and maybe <br /> we should take our case to them. In other words, they are not willing to make an <br /> exception in our case, because ". . . a line has to be drawn somewhere." One of the <br /> MPCA officials suggested to me that if the City does not like how the Superfund <br /> legislation handles matters such as this, they should lobby their legislators. <br /> i <br />
