Zoning File #1340 September 27, 1988 Page 4 of 5 In the future, WSI will be required to keep the City apprised of all exploratory work, monitoring results, and in general, all activities dealing with the hazardous condition. Once again, Cook's letter suggests that the contaminates appear to be contained in a relatively small area on the twenty-five acre site. Mr. Pallansch has advised that his architects and engineers will be present at the meeting for you to pose any questions you may have regarding this project. It is of the utmost importance that we proceed as rapidly as we can with this application so that WSI can begin the trench installation before the winter months. The second phase of this application must be delayed until the M.P.C.A. has formally responded and approved the proposed treatment of contaminate. (If members have any questiciiis of the Orono staff, please contact my office prior to the meeting.) Staff would p•-opose the following approval recommendation for your consideration: To approve the first phase of the conditional use permit application of Washington Scientific, Inc., for the property located at 2605 Wayzata Boulevard, that would allow the installation of a 24' deep trench for the purpose of filtering underground contaminiated soils through a flushing process with final deposition into the M.W.C.C. sewer lines, based on the following findings: 1. The applicant and its consultants have contacted all appropriate State agencies throughout the P.C.A. permit review. The City staff and its consultant confirm tilat it would appear that the applicant has complied with all conditions set forth by the P.C.A. and that the remedial plan of action appears to meet all of the State standards. 2. In order to prevent further hazard to the public health, safety and welfare, it is important that the approved remedial action plan be instituted as soon as possible. 3. The proposed plan of action will prevent further risk and ^ontamination of the run-off entering Long Lake and throughout the major watershed.
