RE: Dakota County Waste to Energy Facility EIS Meeting
On Fet;��rua�y �2, 1990, Metra�politan Council staff will conduct a
publi� hearing to take comr�ent regarding the Environmental Im�act
Statement for the proposed waste to energy facility. The city
has received copies of the EIS and the Health Risk Analysis
completed for the proposed project. These documents have been
prepared by independent consultants under contract to the
Metrop�li�an Council and further under the rules as determined by
the Mi:�ne�ota Environmenta�� Quality Review Board who is the
responsib�e state agency.
City staf� has reviewed these documents, but does not have the
expertise to claim the validity or invalidness of them. This
will be up to the state and federal agencies whose responsibility
it is to do so.
It is my recommendation that the city council consider the
follow�ang public statement and submit same to the Metropolitan
Council as the city` s position on the DEIS (Draft Environmental
Impact Statement) .
