<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Counci 1 Mi nutes <br />December 11, 1984 <br /> <br />Page Five <br /> <br />Steve Reed, MPCA, clarified that the TCAAP is an existing <br />facility and, therefore, an Environmental Worksheet Analysis <br />is not required; the Waste Management Board was a process to <br />. find sites for processing facilities in the state (they also <br />had a similar process for disposing facilitiesh which was <br />more of a planning type of process which could override <br />community ordinances, etc., in their preferred areas, so <br />this would not apply to a privately owned storage facility <br />(directed more at commercial hazardous waste processes). <br /> <br />Benke asked what the practical impact would be for the denial <br />of a permit. <br /> <br />Reed responded that Honeywell would not be able to store their <br />own wastes on-site for more than 90 days. <br /> <br />Harcus stated if there is no permit, there is no supervision. <br /> <br />Schmidt noted that generators of waste have rules with which <br />they must comply. <br /> <br />Janecek stated that the less handling done, the less chance <br />for problems; moving waste to another Honeywell facility would <br />increase potential danger. <br /> <br />Schmidt stated he understood the need for a permit, but didn't <br />have trust in the whole process. <br /> <br />Ohman stated that through this permit the MPCA is making sure <br />the generator will comply; if it does not, there is a chance <br />for default. <br /> <br />Estimating the maximum storage would be for 40,000 gallons, a <br />citizen asked about secondary containment. <br /> <br />Ohman responded Honeywe 11 must have ten percent conta i nment <br />and that each building has that ten percent capacity. In the <br />permit application, there is a waste analysis that Honeywell <br />must follow; each waste is analyzed and separated from other <br />incompatible wastes. <br /> <br />Myslajek asked if Honeywell couldn't store their waste at <br />another company that had just received a permit. <br /> <br />Ohman responded that the receiver of the permit was a private <br />corporation which does not have capacity to store more than <br />their permit allows. <br /> <br />.. . <br />Myslajek stated that the MPCA permit for Honeywell would not <br />guarantee anything; if an accident occurs, tragedy may follow <br />as recently happened in India. <br /> <br />Ohman stated that in India, it was a product that leaked, not <br />a waste. <br />
