this area during the last year. Commissioner Threine
stated that he knew the landfill had been ablaze at leash
once during the past year but added. that these fires never
really jeopardized anything, and at most were smelly and

followed as there is never a bulldozer in the area. He
added, however, that the area is screened beautifully by
hills. and the only part of the landfill that t.*aiw be seen
is the entrance,

has never had a permit from the County and that is the 'reason
Staff has asked the County for comments;. He added that he believed

that perhaps the Staff will obtain copies of the State definition
of "sanitary landfill.."

Roth, to defer action until such time as it is found that this DEFER
landfill, by either County or Pollution Control Agency definition,
falls under the classification of "sanitary landfill" and whether

hake this operation a potential hazard in which case, Goal C,
Objective 5, Criteria 7 would apply:

Pollution Control Agency and Hennepin County
requirements and he located in an area which
will not jeopardize future development of the
Village."
