The piles will remain covered and will <br />not produce dust. Treated soil' and clean fill will be used to backfill the <br />excavation. The process destructs oils associated with the wood treating <br />chemical from the soils. The removal efficiency is demonstrated to be at <br />least 99.99% effective. The operation is monitored for oxygen, carbon <br />monoxide and carbon dioxide and is maintained in specific levels required <br />by the State. The MPCA has found operating an incinerator at these <br />conditions does not produce toxic by-products. <br /> <br />Gunderman asked if the City receives air quality monitoring reports from <br />the MPCA. Proper said the City continues to receive monitoring and <br />testing results from the MPCA. The MPCA will schedule a public meeting <br />regarding the incinerator, and a public meeting regarding the soil washing <br />water ejection process will be held May 29. <br /> <br />Benke noted the City's permit is conditional on the MPCA granting all <br />necessary permits. Mattila verified staff's recommendation is based on <br />past performance and is conditional on the MPCA's air emission facility <br />permit. City staff does not have the expertise to review the process and <br />depends on the MPCA's skill in that area. <br /> <br />leFevere said tests were performed by both the applicant and MPCA, and <br />the results have been reviewed by MPCA and the City. <br /> <br />Motion by Gunderman, seconded by larson, to WAIVE THE READING <br />AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION APPROVING SP-135 UNTIL JANUARY 1, <br />1992. <br /> <br />5 Ayes ~ 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. <br /> <br />Mattila presented for consideration an amendment of the New Brighton <br />Zoning Ordinance, Floodplain Management, Chapter X. <br /> <br />On April 9, the City was informed that in 1986 the Federal Government <br />made changes to the national floodplain regulations which have not been <br />finalized until now. These changes require every city in the National Flood <br />Insurance Program to amend their floodplain ordinances. The amendment <br />must be completed within 90 days or possible sanctions may be imposed. <br />To further complicate, the State needs to approve the amendments 30 <br />days prior to City adoption. The Federal Emergency Management Agency <br />and the Minnesota DNR prepared a model ordinance which complies with <br />Federal regulations. The model is an expansion of the City's current <br />d. · <br />or Inance. <br /> <br />Mattila reviewed the model ordinance and added the appropriate changes. <br />The State found the amended ordinance acceptable, and staff <br />recommends adoption. Mattila said the 1978 floodplain zoning map will <br />be updated by the Federal Government at a later time. <br /> <br />\,. <br /> <br />Council Business <br /> <br />Special Use Permit <br />for Bell Pole <br />Report 91-123 <br />Resolution 91-057 <br /> <br />Amendment to <br />Floodplain <br />Ordinance <br />Report 91-124 <br />
