EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ISSUE
SKB Environmental has approached the City about expansion of their current faci rtes. The current land
area dedicated to the facility is 236 acres. The expansion area would be to the east, and would be an
additional 155 acres. Staff and members of SKB are requesting direction from the Council as to whether
they would be willing to consider expansion of the facility.
DISCUSSION
The City recently negotiated with SKB to open up cells C D for construction debris It is estimated that
they have approximately 10 more years available for the current facility. It is also estimated that the
expansion would add another 10 years to the life of the facility. (These are ballpark figures and actual
attrition would be dependent upon a number of factors.) Currently the facihry takes in construction waste
and ash. SKB has indicated an interest m expanding to mumcipal waste in the new area. SKB
representatives have indicated they may be able to have some type of partnership with Great River Energy
that would allow incineration of garbage of use of pellets.
The 42/52 Task Force did not envision expansion of the Waste Management land use and maintained the
existing border in the proposed Comprehensive Plan Land east of the current facility, the expansion area,
is proposed for Light or Mixed Industrial m the Plan.
Should the Council wish to consider the expansion of the facility there are a number if issues that should
be investigated
Potential impact on tax base.
Impact on economic development potential of the surrounding area.
How does the current fac compare to other communities with facilities in size and location.
How would mumcipal waste compare to the existing condition. What are the pros and cons of the
change.
What other development potential is there for the proposed facility expansion location.
Is this consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and the City Council.
CONCLUSION
There area a vanety of issues associated with the potential expansion of the SKB facility. Investigation of
the expansion potential will be a nine- consuming and perhaps costly endeavor for SKB as well as the City.
If the Council does not want to consider the expansion, that should be made clear early in the process. If
the Council is willing to consider the expansion, staff would request the Council provide direction as to
issues important to them in making the decision.
