MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
STEPHEN ROHLF, BUILDING AND
ZONING ADMINISTRATOR
DATE:
FEBRUARY 18, 1997
SUBJECT: TEMPORARY EXTENDED HOUR FOR
NRG/RDF PLANT
The NRG/RDF plant needs to resurface their cement tipping floor. They hope
to accomplish this task in two pours. Having half their tipping floor out of
commission during a pour will create several operational problems.
To resolve these problems NRG is making the following request:
Extending hours for receiving MSW from 3:00 AM to 10:00 PM, seven
days a week. Current hours are 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through
Saturday. They will need these extended hours because with only 1/2 of
the tipping floor useable, there will not be enough room to stock pile MSW
waiting to be processed.
NRG is also requesting approval to ship RDF to UPA between the hours of
4:00 PM and 6:30 PM. These hours are currently restricted by the City's
permits because of traffic concerns. NRG stated that they will not use
these additional hours unless they need to.
· Lastly, NRG is requesting permission to have open top trailers in the
citizen drop-off area during the first pour for non-processibles.
If approved, NRG would do their first pour starting on April 6, 1997.
Preparation, the pour, and curing/sealing will take nine days. If the first pour
is not too much of a hindrance to their operations they will finish the job in
one additional pour; two additional pours if it is a problem. NRG is asking
for approximately 18 days of extended hours.
It behooves the City that NRG's tipping floor is in good repair. Staff
recommends that NRG be granted the additional hours outlined
above to repair their tipping floor, except that these additional
hours shall not be during a holiday period.
