1.0 Interim Use Application Summary
1.1 Introduction
Elk River Landfill, Inc. (ERL), awholly-owned subsidiary of Waste Management of Minnesota,
Inc., owns and operates a landfill under Minnesota Solid Waste Permit Number SW-74. ERL is
also licensed and permitted by both Sherburne County and the City of Elk River ("City"). The
existing 164-acre landfill is located along U.S. TH 169 on 476 acres of land located in the NW '/4
of Section 3, T33N, R26W, and the SW'/4 of Section 34, T34N, R26W, Sherburne County,
Minnesota (see Drawing titled "Site Plan- Entire Property"). The remainder of the property (312
acres) provides a buffer surrounding the property. ERL is permitted to accept Municipal Solid
Waste (MSW), demolition and construction debris, yard waste for composting, industrial waste
in accordance with a MPCA-approved Industrial Solid Waste Management Plan, and processing
facility rejects from the Elk River Resource Recovery Facility.
On June 16, 2006, the Elk River City Council granted a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to ERL
for the construction of a new office building at the landfill, immediately west of the existing gas
to energy plant. As part of that CUP approval, one of the conditions was that an existing red
metal skinned building (storage/maintenance building) was to be removed in its entirety. In a
follow-up action on July 16, 2007, a Conditional Use Permit for an addition to the new office
building and to retain the western 3,100 square feet of the red skinned building was approved by
the City of Elk River. As part of that CUP approval, one condition was that the remaining
portion of the existing storage/maintenance building was to be removed by December 31, 2009.
The new office building was constructed on the parcel of land (designated parcel number 75-
103-2105) at the landfill that also contains the previous storage/maintenance building as well as
the landfill gas to energy plant and other landfill related infrastructure (see drawing titled
"Detailed Site Plan") The building used for storage/maintenance previous to the new building
construction remains at the site and is integral in the operations at the Landfill. The building now
T:\074?\1410\[nterim Use Application Summary.doc 1-1
serves as storage for recyclables that are collected at the landfill (e.g. appliances and electronics)
that should not be exposed to the elements. In addition, a citizen drop-off center was constructed
surrounding a portion of the temporary maintenance building in fa112008 that consists of
separate areas for collection of recyclables, white goods, electronics, demolition debris, woad
products. It also provides for a raised drop-off area where MSW can be directly deposited in roll
off containers for subsequent hauling by ERL to the active face. The surrounding area and
parking lot have also been upgraded with new pavement.
1.2 Description and Scope of Project
ERL is requesting with this application submittal, an Interim Use Permit (IUP) for the temporary
storage/maintenance building at the landfill. As previously stated, the temporary
storage/maintenance building waste was to be removed by December 31, 2009 in accordance
with the CUP granted on July 16, 2007. However, Waste Management is requesting that the IUP
grant an extension for the continued use of the temporary storage/maintenance building for
storage of recyclables as part of the citizen drop-off and convenience center service to the public.
1.3 Duration of Request
The ERL requests an extension for ten years for use of the temporary storage/maintenance
building under this IUP.
1.4 Hours of Operation
The citizen drop-off area and temporary storage of recyclables will only be used during the
operational hours of the landfill, which are currently 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through
Saturday, excluding holidays. The landfill is operated in accordance with the operational
T:\0742\1410\Interim Use Application Summary.doc 1-2
i
i
requirements enforced the MPCA permit and may only accept waste during off-hours for certain
circumstances that will not affect the hours of operation at the recyclables area.
1.5 Number of Employees
The ERL employs approximately 14 people at the current landfill site; these employees also
operate the recyclables storage area.
1.6 Number of Parking Stalls (existing and additional)
The landfill employees park their vehicles at the sites' office building located near the temporary
maintenance building (see detailed site plan). There are currently 20 parking stalls located at the
office building as well as additional room for parking in the yard area to the north of the office
building.
1.7 Signage -how many, what type, location
The ERL maintains a sign at each site entrance (two) that describes the wastes that may be
disposed at the ERL, the site hours, and the days the site is open to the public for deposit of
recyclables. The signs also contain information on the disposal prices and a contact name and
number for the landfill. There will be no additional proposed signs required with this IUP.
1.8 Outdoor Storage
There is outdoor storage available for appliances, tires, and electronics on the south side of the
temporary maintenance building site as well as storage bunkers on the north side of the building
