<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />The EQC will reconsider this matter at its April meeting <br />when Mr. Al Perez, former Chief of the MPCA Noise Abatement <br />Section will review important aspects of a noise ordinance <br />and will discuss two model ordinances prepared by the <br />League of Minnesota Cities. Further development of an <br />ordinance appropriate for the City of New Brighton will <br />continue at subsequent meetings with the anticipation <br />that a draft will be available by the end of the next <br />quarter. <br /> <br />Hazardous Waste Site Selection Advisory Conunittee - The EQC <br />designated Fritz Werdouschegg as representative to this <br />Committee with Mike Zagar as an alternate. <br /> <br />A representative of the EQC attended each of the three <br />meetings held at Roseville to discuss the hazardous waste <br />facility siting questions and participated in the group <br />discussions. <br /> <br />The meetings have indicated that Minnesotans are eager <br />to deal effectively with the hazardous waste issue and <br />want to be fully informed on it. A summary entitled <br />"Report on Public Participation in Developing Criteria <br />for Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites" has been prepared by <br />the Minnesota Hazardous Waste Management Board. <br /> <br />As a result of input from the general public, the Board has <br />decided to consider alternatives to land disposal of hazardous <br />wastes which could include incineration, source reduction, <br />recycling, etc. <br /> <br />Pole Yards/City Water SupPly - Since the latter part of 1980 <br />the EQC has been monitoring the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's <br />handling of the pole yard's pollution problem. It was initially <br />thought that the City may need to license the pole companies <br />as a hazardous trade similarly to the rendering plants. <br />To date the MPCAhas developed an extensive testing program <br />for the pole companies to be follOwed by clean-up. Although <br />slow, progress is being made. <br /> <br />Along with monitoring this progress the EQC has studied the <br />New Brighton bed rock geology and potential threat the pole <br />companies could pose to the municipal water supply. The <br />recommendation to test all eight (8) City wells for certain <br />organic compounds and metals was a spin off of this study. <br />The wells were tested and the test results thoroughly <br />reviewed. The water was found to be free of contaminants. <br /> <br />-2- <br />
