RESOLUTION NO. 76 - 1981
A RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE ESTABLISHNENT OF A HAZARDOUS WASTE
PROCESSING FACILITY IN THE CITY OF FRIDLEY
WHEREAS, the Minnesota Waste Management Board, on June 5, 1981, announced the
designation of 60 preliminary areas for hazardous waste processing
facilities; and
WHEREAS, one area being considered is located in the City of Fridley; and
WHEREAS, the area is comprised of major existing developments, and the City
comprehensive plan provides for over thirty acres of much needed medium to
high density residential development in the proposed site, and any
consideration of a hazardous waste processing facility in this area will be
inconsistent with the plan; and
WHEREAS, the site has a generally high water table and the surface drainage
goes into Spring Brook Creek and Stoneybrook Creek which go through dense
residentially built areas; and
WHEREAS, there are still privately owned water wells drawing water from
substrata to provide water for residences adjoining the area;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT because of the potential of spillage,
leakage or other detrimental effects hazardous waste could have on the
surface and ground water, and because the hazardous waste processing facility
would be next to existing sizable developments and planned large residential
developments, the City Council of the City of Fridley hereby opposes the
establishment of a hazardous waste processing facility in the City of
Fridley, and the City administration is directed to send a certified copy of
this resolution to the Minnesota Waste Management Board and the appropriate
governmental authorities.
' PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY THIS 20TH DAY
OF JULY, 1981.
