USPCI Comprehensive Guide Plan ApprovalEXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: September 3, 1991 AGENDA ITEM: Minnesota Industrial Containment AGENDA SECTION: Facility Site Compreh. Plan Guide Amendment Old Business PREPARED BY: AGENDA ITEM # C Lisa Freese, Director of Planning ,YI 5 ATTACHMENTS: Resolution, Met Council Approval APP Y:/ Letter and Staff Report; On July 2, 1991 the City Council held a public hearing regarding USPCI's request to amend the Comprehensive Guide Plan for the 236 acre Minnesota Industrial Containment Facility (MICF) in the Pine Bend area of Eastern Rosemount. The Council forwarded the Guide Plan amendment to the Metropolitan Council without taking action on it. The amendment establishes a Waste Management Land Use Plan Element, redesignates the 236 acre MICF site from General Industrial and Agricultural to Waste Management, and establishes a Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) for the MICF site. The Metropolitan Council has reviewed the amendment and at their August 8th meeting it was approved. The Metropolitan Council did not identify any significant regional issues with regard to this request. The Metropolitan Council and the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission requested that the City also amend the Comprehensive Sewer Plan to reflect the additional sewage flows and revise the Map to show the MUSA Boundary. Since the City is in the process of revising the Comprehensive Guide Plan it was determined that a letter acknowledging the change in sewage flows resulting from MICF and a map with the revised boundaries would be sufficient at this time. Exhibit B is the revised MUSA map. The average daily sewage flows projected from the facility are 0.02 mgd. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the amendment at the August 25 Regular Meeting. RECOMMENDED ACTION: A motion to adopt A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN FOR THE CITY OF ROSEMOUNT. COUNCIL ACTION: CITY OF ROSEMOUNT DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION 1991- A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN OF THE CITY OF ROSEMOUNT WHEREAS, the City of Rosemount did receive a request to amend the Comprehensive Guide Plan for the 236 -acre site legally described in Exhibit A; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was scheduled according to law and held on the 2nd of July, 1991 to consider the Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment; and WHEREAS, the City requested that the Metropolitan Council review the Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment and on August 8, 1991 the Metropolitan Council approved the Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Rosemount reviewed the amendment and recommended approval to the City Council.

Amendment Minnesota Industrial Containment Facility Metropolitan Council Referral File No. 15418-1 Metropolitan Council District No. 16 BACKGROUND At its meeting on August 1, 1991, the Metropolitan and Community Development Committee discussed a staff report and recommendations dealing with the review of a plan amendment for the Minnesota Industrial Containment Facility in Rosemount. ISSUES AND CONCERNS Barbara Senness, Council staff (ext. 6419) presented the report and answered questions from the Committee. The Committee asked if the city was comfortable with the possibility of limiting development in the short term, if the Rosemount plant ran out of capacity before improvements could be made. Ms. Senness responded that if capacity became an issue, the Waste Control Commission could require the operator of the containment facility to truck leachate to the Metro plant until additional capacity was available at the Rosemount plant. Bob Pulford, representing USPCI, who is proposing to construct and operate the facility, explained that industrial wastes brought to the facility will be placed in cells for long term storage. Once filled, the cells will be sealed. Council member Schreiner noted that the containment facility project is a very important one to the region. It represents the first waste management facility that has been successfully sited. Schreiner cited the cooperative working relationship between the city and USPCI as a major factor in the success of the project. FINDINGS 1. The proposed amendment does not raise any significant transportation, recreation open space or surface water issues. 2. In order for the containment facility to receive regional sewer service, it must be part of the MUSH. 3. It is technically feasible to discharge leachate from the containment facility to the Rosemount treatment plant. 4. The city of Rosemount will need to update its comprehensive sewer plan to reflect the amount of wastewater to be generated by the containment facility. 5. If residential growth exceeds Council forecasts, it is possible that the Rosemount plant could run out of capacity before an expansion is on line. If this occurs, the Waste Control Commission could require USPCI to truck leachate to the Metro plant. 6. The proposed containment facility is consistent with the Council's Solid Waste Management Development Guide/Policy Plan. 7. The proposed containment facility is consistent with MDIF directives for urban -generated uses and for expanding an'urban'service area. RECOMMENDATIONS That the Metropolitan Council: 1. Adopt the above findings and the staff report as part of these recommendations. 2. Inform that city of Rosemount that it may place the amendment into effect and no plan modification is required. Respectfully submitted, Susan Anderson, Chair Metropolitan Council of the Twin Cities Area Mears Park Centre, 230 E 5th St. St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 612-291-6359/MD 291-0904 DATE: July 22, 1991 TO: Metropolitan and Community Development Committee FROM: Research and Long Range Planning (Barbara Senness) SUBJECT: Rosemount Comprehensive Plan Amendment Minnesota -Indus exal Containment Facility Metropolitan Council Referral File No. 15458-1 Metropolitan Council District No. 16 INTRODUCTION The city of Rosemount has prepared this plan amendment in response to USPCI's proposal to develop a nonhazardous industrial waste containment facility in the Pine Bend industrial area in eastern Rosemount (see Attachment 2). The proposed project, referred to as the Minnesota Industrial Containment Facility, plans to accept only industrial wastes classified as nonhazardous by federal, state and local regulatory definitions. The Metropolitan Council prepared the Environmental Impact Statement required for the project. The project site was previously reviewed by the Council as part of Dakota County's landfill site inventory and was found to be consistent with Council policy. AUTHORITY TO REVIEW The Metropolitan Land Use Planning Act of 1976 requires that amendments to local comprehensive plans be prepzred, submitted to the Metropolitan Council for review and adopted in the same manner as the original plans (Minn. Stat. 473.864, subd. 2, 1978). Guidelines adopted pursuant to Minn. Stat. 473.864 for reviewing proposed amendments provide a 90 -day review period for amendments potentially affecting one or more of the metropolitan systems, and a 60 - day review period for amendments that do not have a potential impact on metropolitan systems. The city of Rosemount submitted its proposed comprehensive plan amendment on July 5, 1991. On July 11, 1991, the Chair determined that it was a major amendment under the Council's Guidelines for Reviewing Comprehensive Plan Amendments. Therefore, the 90 -day review period applies and will conclude on October 5, 1991. 1 DESCREMON OF AFFECTED AREA The area in which the containment facility will be located is known as the Pine Bend industrial area. The land uses in this area are predominately heavy industrial, served by private sewage treatment systems. Existing land uses include: Koch Refinery, DPC Industries (production, storage and shipping of ammonia products), Walbon Trucking, CF Industries (distribution and storage of agricultural fertilizer), Continental Nitrogen (chemicals production), Spectro Alloys (metal foundry), A-1 Concrete, Material Recovery, Ltd. (demolition waste recycling) and the Rosemount Wastewater Treatment Plant. The western 156 acres of the containment facility site are currently planned for industrial use. Portions of the industrial containment facility site have been used intermittently for pasturage in recent years. The eastern 80 acres of the containment facility site are currently planned for agricultural use. However, the rolling topography and soils are not attracth a for more intensive agricultural development. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN AMENDMENT The proposed plan amendment includes the following changes to Rosemount's Comprehensive Plan: 1) creation of a "Waste Management" land use element in the plan, 2) redesignation of the land uses within the Minnesota Industrial Containment Facility site from General Industrial and Agricultural to Waste Management and 3) creation of a non-contiguous, freestanding Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) to provide wastewater treatment capacity to the containment facility. The city's objectives in creating a waste management element are 1) to promote effective regulation of waste management activities, 2) to supplement and enhance environmental protection policies and 3) to establish appropriate, compatible locations for waste management activities. The site of tl:e proposed containment facility is 25 acres in size, of which about 120 acres would be occupied by ten six -acre containment cells, administrative and laboratory facilities, leachate storage tanks, truck scales and unloading area. The remaining 116 acres would serve as a buffer area and generally would be left in its natural condition. Typical types of waste that could be accepted for disposal at this facility include: a variety of wastes from foundries, metal -bearing wastes from recycling operations such as auto shredding, aluminum and other metal recycling; solidified paints and inks, plastic and rubber scraps, empty containers, magnetic tapes and circuit boards, asbestos and contaminated soil. Making the site a part of ,the MUSA would allow the facility to connect to the Rosemount Wastewater Treatment Plant for the required disposal of leachate collected in the containment cells. The options for leachate disposal include 1) discharging to the Rosemount plant or 2) 2 trucking to the Metropolitan Plant in St. Paul. The site is located immediately adjacent to the Rosemount plant. ANALYSIS The following analysis addresses sewer, airport, solid waste and Metropolitan Development and Investment Framework policy concerns. The proposed amendment does not raise any significant transportation, recreation open space or surface water issues. Sewers The plan amendment proposes adding the containment facility site to the MUSA to allow connection to the Rosemount Wastewater Treatment Plant for leachate disposal. In its comments on the plan amendment (see Attachment 3), the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission noted that the city will also need to revise its comprehensive sewer plan to reflect the flows generated by the containment facility. The Water Resources Management Policy Plan states that metropolitan services will not be extended to the rural service area. Since the containment facility site is currently in the rural service area, the Council must add the site to the MUSA if it agrees to allow the connection to the treatment plant. The Rosemount plant has a design capacity of 0.72 mgd. The average daily flow in 1990 was 0.56 mgd. Currently, the Commission estimates that it will need to expand the plant by the mid-1990s to accommodate the anticipated residential growth in Rosemount. Based on plant capacity considerations, in 1989 the Council directed Rosemount to establish a land banking system to designate urban service additions (Referral File No. 14815-1). The Council recommended land banking as an interim measure, to be used until the Council revises its regional forecasts and schedules additional treatment plant capacity. The city established a land bank in Fall, 1989 (Referral File No. 14815-2). Under the land bank, the city is limited to expanding its urban area to serve 600 additional acres or the equivalent of about 1,000 additional housing units, until the Rosemount plant is expanded. As the city receives requests for development outside, but contiguous to the current MUSA, it submits a minor plan amendment for Council review, adding the affected area to the MUSA and reducing the available land bank acreage by the size of the affected area. Council and Waste Control Commission staff have been working with the city and representatives of USPCI for the last year regarding the proposed connection to the Rosemount plant and its impact on plant capacity. Commission officials have indicated that acceptance of leachate discharge would be technically feasible in both the short and long term. For planning purposes, based on the Commission's anticipated annual average daily flow equivalent of 20,000 gallons per day (0.02 mgd), with a peak flow of 30,000' gallons per day, connecting the containment facility to the Rosemount plant would accelerate the schedule for plant expansion by eight months. (The projected flow amounts to about 73 residential equivalent connections.) However, if capacity problems develop before an expansion is on line, the Commission could require USPCI to truck leachate to the Metro plant in the interim. Airports The containment facility site is immediately adjacent to the Dakota search area for a new major airport. Since the area is outside the search area, there are no -additional review requirements at this time. However, in the event that a new major airport site is located in this general area, any changes in land use or zoning may eventually (by 1996) be subject to additional requirements under the state Airport Development Act. Solid Waste The Council's Solid Waste Management Development Guide/Policy Plan contains review criteria for solid waste management facilities which include locational objectives and criteria. These criteria indicate that the location of solid waste management facilities will be influenced by several factors, including: i) the availability of suitable land, 2) proximity to major highways znd sources of waste and 3) the availability of adequate public utilities such as electric power, water supply and wastewater treatment services. The location of the containment facility was clearly influenced by these criteria. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has previously found the containment facility site to be intrinsically suitable for a solid waste facility. In addition, it has excellent access to US 52, which is an element of the metropolitan highway system. Finally, it is located adjacent to a wastewater treatment plant. In addition to locational objectives, the policy plan encourages the separation of special wastes, including nonhazardous industrial wastes, and control of the type of waste accepted at a waste facility. The plan also encourages the development of private waste management facilities. The proposed facility meets all these additional objectives. Metropolitan Development and Investment Framework (MDIF) The area affected by the proposed amendment is located in the Council's general rural use area. In this area, the Council supports long-term preservation of agricultural land, plus it will also support residential development at densities of no more than one unit per 10 acres computed on a 40 -acre basis. However, the MDIF also recognizes that the general rural use area is an appropriate 13cation for facilities such as waste disposal installations, that require isolated and spacious locations but serve primarily the urban public. The framework states that the Council's key interest is that these types of facilities are adequately served, consistent with local and regional plans, and that interference with agricultural activities is minimized. There is some overlap between these criteria and the criteria the Council has established for expansion of an urban service area. Before agreeing to expand an urban service area, the Council must determine that there is a regional need and that adequate regional sewer and highway capacity is available. Consistency with the Council's rural area density policy is also a prerequisite. There is clearly a need for environmentally sound waste management facilities in the metropolitan area. As stated earlier, regional highway and sewer capacity is available to serve the containment facility site. However, if the facility is connected to the Rosemount plant, to maintain consistency with regional plans, the Council would need to add the site to the MUSH Since the site is located in a basically heavy industrial area, interference with agricultural activities is not an issue. The Council previously found Rosemount's rural density policies largely consistent with Council policy (Referral File No. 14815-1). FINDINGS 1. The proposed amendment does not raise any significant transportation, recreation open space or surface water issues. 2. In order for the containment facility to receive regional sewer service, it must be part of the MUSH. 3. It is technically feasible to discharge leachate from the containment facility to the Rosemount treatment plant. 4. The city of Rosemount will need to update its comprehensive sewer plan to reflect the amount of wastewater to be generated by the containment facility. 5. If residential growth exceeds Council forecasts, it is possible that the Rosemount plant could run out of capacity before an expansion is on line. If this occurs, the Waste Control Commission could require USPCI to truck leachate to the Metro plant. 6. The proposed containment facility is consistent with the Council's Solid Waste Management Development Guide/Policy Plan. 7. The proposed containment facility is consistent with MD1F directives for urban -generated uses and for expanding an urban service area. RECOMMENDATIONS That the Metropolitan Council: 1. Adopt the above findings and the staff report as part of these recommendations. 2. Inform that city of Rosemount that it may place the amendment into effect and no plan modification is required. 5 Regional Location City of Rosemount i F_ ---- — �[tNEI— I ST.F2AMCIf \ ttt..11�l EAST BETHEL BURNS i OAK GROPE I � RAMSET ASSAN I C DALTON R CORCORAN I MAPLE GROVE OCKFORD I HENNEPIN CO �LOfCTTO I INDEPENDENCE MEDINA METROPOLITAN COUNCIL "I t I l 4TL lTOWM I MINM[TtIfTA I HOLLYWOOD I WATERTOWN I.

The amendment proposes a 236 acre freestanding Metropolitan Urban Service Area to provide for the service needs of a non -hazardous industrial waste containment facility. The amendment indicates the waste containment facility will generate an estimated average daily wastewater flow of 20,000 gallons per day. The wastewater flow will be conveyed for treatment through the Rosemount Interceptor to the Rosemount_ Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The Commission staff have met with representatives of the City of Rosemount and the Minnesota Industrial Containment (MIC) Facility to discuss the quality and quantity of the wastewater flows to be generated by the MIC facility. Based on the information provided at these meetings and the data shown in the comprehensive plan amendment, adequate capacity is available in the Rosemount Interceptor and at the Rosemount WWTP to accommodate the needs of the MIC facility. The City of Rosemount will need to update its Comprehensive Sewer Plan (CSP) to show the amount of wastewater to be generated by the MIC facility. Prior to connecting to the Metropolitan Disposal System, an Industrial Discharge - Special Discharges Permit and a Permit for Connection To or Use of Commission Facilities will need to be obtained from the Commission.
