406.04: Permit for Treatment and Disposal

A. It is the policy of the City to protect the health, safety and welfare of those residing in and working in the City by providing regulations dealing with the treatment and disposal of soil contaminated with petroleum products.
B. The City intends to supplement the regulations imposed by the MPCA[1] and to work in conjunction with that agency with regard to treatment and disposal of such contaminated soil. Given the large number of petroleum related businesses located within the City and the number of contaminated soil incidents generated within the City as a result of such businesses, it has been determined by the City Council that it is not appropriate for contaminated soils from outside of the City to be imported into the City for treatment or disposal. (Ord. 1075, 4-23-1990)

[1]Defined in Section 406.02 of this Chapter.

As used in this Chapter, the following words and terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this Section:

DISPOSAL: Those methods of final handling of contaminated soil neutralized by use of one of the MPCA authorized treatment methods including placement or burial on-site or off-site removal.
MPCA: Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
TREATMENT: Those methods of neutralizing contaminated soil authorized for use by the MPCA. (Ord. 1075, 4-23-1990)

No contaminated soil may be brought into the City for storage nor may contaminated soil from outside of the City be treated or disposed of within the City. (Ord. 1075, 4-23-1990)

Contaminated soil from a source within the City may be treated and disposed of pursuant to the following procedure:
A. Application: Before any contaminated soil may be treated and disposed of, the entity seeking to treat and dispose of such contaminated soil, or its agent, shall complete and submit an application prepared by the City staff.
B. Fee: At the time of application for a permit to treat and dispose of contaminated soil, the applicant shall pay a non- refundable fee as established by the City’s Fee Schedule in Section 314.05. In the event that the staff determines that it will be necessary for the City to retain an outside consultant to provide technical review and monitoring, the applicant for a permit shall, as a condition to receiving the permit, agree in writing to pay the City's cost of such outside consultant.
C. Review: The City staff shall review the application in conjunction with the MPCA's review of the proposed contaminated soil treatment and disposal. Such review shall include examination, investigation and written comments by the Public Works Director, Community Development Director, Fire Marshal and other City department heads deemed appropriate. (Ord. 1075, 4-23-1990)
D. Hearing: The City Council will hold a hearing on each application for a permit to treat or dispose of contaminated soil. Notice of the hearing shall be as provided for in Chapter 108 of this Code. In determining whether or not a permit shall be issued, the City Council may prohibit such treatment and disposal within the City if it determines that the health, safety and welfare of residents of the community will be jeopardized by such treatment and disposal within the City after making specific findings concerning the basis of its denial. The City Council may impose reasonable conditions with regard to permits for such treatment and disposal. (Ord. 1175A, 11-25-1996)
