If, notwithstanding the above, the Minnesota Pollution <br />Control Agency decides to issue a permit at this time, the Task Force recommends <br />the following minimum requirements for such a permit: <br />1. Citizens Review Board. A Citizens Review Board shall be established to <br />review all Plans required by the pern it, all test results, and any changes to the <br />permit or determinations of whether tc sting shall continue or is adequate to allow <br />further use of TAP or construction of a plant to produce TAP. For any significant <br />proposed change to the permit or any Plan required to be submitted pursuant <br />thereto, there shall be a public comment period of not less than thirty days. <br />2. Length of Testing. Tests shall be devised and standards set tc determine the <br />effect common road chemicals such as road salt, gasoline, oil, and antifreeze have <br />on TAP, d such appropriate tests shall be run periodically (monthly for air, soil, <br />and wa.-F runoff tests) in varying weather and rainfall conditions and analysis <br />thereof shall be part of the final report of the lest results. The testing period should <br />run for a minimum of seven years, or until the TAP has deteriorated to a point <br />where sale road management requires repLcement or repair, whichever is first to <br />occur. The test should not be conducted untU adequate tests are identified and <br />standards are defined to determine the effect of petroleum spills upon the TAP and <br />the long-term deterioration of the TAP pellets. No consideration shall be given to <br />f'lll-scale usage until the entire seven years of the test have nm. <br />3. Exclusion of Fly Ash. Fly ash should be excluded from the TAP, and all ash, <br />whether fly ash or combined ash, exhibiting characteristics of a hazardous waste <br />should be excluded. There shall be spedfic plans for separation of rejected ash and <br />ongoing testing to assure that no rejected ash finds its way into the test material. If it <br />is not possible to exclude fly ash from the currently-proposed test, a control test <br />shall be run concurrenlly with the proposed lest strip to lest TAP made without fly <br />ash and all the same tests shall be run as for the control strip and the TAP with ash <br />strip. <br />4. Total Composition Testing. Total composition testing and identification of <br />all chemicals in the ash shall be required, before incorporating the ash into the TAP, <br />before laying the TAP, upon fmal disposition of the TAP, and by periodic core <br />samples throughout the test, and complete records comparing the sets of test results <br />shall be maintained. Alleged test results previously announced by USPCI vary <br />greatly from recent HERC test results. No test of Incinerator ash substantially <br />different in composition from current testing shall be used as precedent in any <br />future permit application for either manufacturing facilities or use of TAP. <br />5. Toxicity Standards. No TAP shall be used which exceeds the EP toxicity <br />standards set by the federal government. The minimum standard for <br />ft: <br />Ii <br />i-
