Elk River Landfill Expansion – Draft Environmental Impact Statement TO: Interested Parties RE: Elk River Landfill Expansion – Draft Environmental Impact Statement The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on a proposal by Elk River Landfill, Inc. (ERL) to construct a horizontal landfill expansion at its existing site in the city of Elk River, Sherburne County. The Draft EIS is being distributed for public comment pursuant to Minn. R. 4410.2600, and will be on public notice until December 1, 2005. During that period, any person may provide comments on the Draft EIS to the MPCA. The MPCA will conduct a public informational meeting on this Draft EIS. The public meeting will take place at the Uppertown Conference Room, 13065 Orono Parkway, Elk River, Minnesota, on Tuesday, November 15, 2005, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Any person may appear and present comments during this meeting. Commenters are advised that all comments made in connection with this Draft EIS will become a part of the public record. A court reporter will be employed to provide a written record of meeting proceedings. Your comments and questions on the Draft EIS are important to the completion of the Final EIS, the adequacy decisions to be made by the MPCA Citizens’ Board (Board), and to future permits that may be considered for this project. The MPCA will prepare written responses to your comments, and will revise the Draft EIS, if necessary, prior to the Board consideration of the Final EIS. All commenters will receive a copy of the Final EIS. All persons on the mailing list will be notified in advance of the Board adequacy decision meeting, and any person may appear at that meeting and address the Board if desired. Printed copies of the Draft EIS are available for review at the Elk River Public Library, 413 Proctor Avenue, Elk River; the Great River Regional Library, 405 St. Germain, St. Cloud; the city of Elk River, 13065 Orono Parkway, Elk River; and the Sherburne County Government Center, 13880 Highway 10, Elk River, Minnesota. Printed copies are also available for review at the MPCA offices in Brainerd and St. Paul. A limited number of copies are available for public distribution. A full copy of the Draft EIS will be posted on the MPCA Web site at: http://www.pca.state.mn.us/news/eaw/index.html Request for copies and written comments on the Draft EIS should be directed to Debra Moynihan, Project Manager, the MPCA Environmental Review and Operations Section, Regional Division, 520 Lafayette Road North, St. Paul, Minnesota 55155-4194.

ERL is also licensed and permitted by both Sherburne County and the City of Elk River. The Landfill is located 5 miles north of the City, along U.S. Highway 169 on 270 acres of land located in the NW ¼ of Section 3, T33N, R26W, and the SW ¼ of Section 34, T34N, R26W, Sherburne County, Minnesota. ERL is permitted to accept municipal solid waste (MSW), demolition and construction debris, yard waste for composting, industrial waste in accordance with a MPCA-approved Industrial Solid Waste Management Plan, and processing facility rejects from the Elk River Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) facility. Elk River Landfill proposes to expand operations at its existing mixed MSW disposal facility by developing 73.7 acres currently used by a gravel mining operation located immediately south, adjacent to and as a contiguous part, of the existing Landfill property. The proposed landfill project, known as the Southern Development Area (SDA), will follow mining operations by the current property owner, the Tiller Corporation. The proposed project will provide approximately 15,000,000 cubic yards of additional MSW disposal capacity.

You will find that many of the programs listed here are designed specifically for children and/or adults with developmental and sometimes physical disabilities. This does not mean that programs designed for all children are not appropriate or desirable for your child with special needs. In the Appendix you will find listings of local Park & Recreation Offices, Community Education and other local organizations designed for all local citizens that provide group activities, classes or events which you might explore. Keep in mind that each city or cooperative will usually have an Adaptive Recreation Coordinator to assist and advise you and your children in how to best access their program. Local churches, should you belong, often are a good resource for integrated social activities. Also, you might wish to consult with the Adaptive Physical Education teacher/IEP case manager listed on your child’s IEP. They may be aware of local recreation programs specific to DD children and could facilitate participation in other after school sports or activities.

  • Acknowledgments
    Acknowledgments The development of the Minnesota K-12 Mathematics Framework is the result of the combined efforts of many persons. Many stakeholders have worked collaboratively toward improving mathematics and science education in Minnesota. We are grateful to the members of the Board of SciMathMN, under the direction of Cyndy Crist and Kristi Rollag Wangstad, for affirming the impor- tance of this work and approving financial support for this effort. Special thanks goes to Sharon Stenglein, Mathematics Specialist at the Minnesota Department of Children, Families, and Learning. In her role at MDCFL, Sharon was responsible for facilitating the work to delineate state standards for mathematics when the process of establishing graduation standards began. She has worked continuously since then to guarantee that the teachers of math- ematics in Minnesota have had input into those standards and the revision process. Her vision for the Framework and her commitment to its implementation have been a source of inspiration and “quality improvement” in its development. The Framework’s Leadership Team met three years ago to outline the present state of mathematics and science education in Minnesota and set goals that could be met in this state document. They have worked collaboratively since then to forge a common outline for both the mathematics and science documents and have continued to provide valuable input, direction, and guidance to both the process and the product. Over one hundred thoughtful, talented, and committed K-16 educators from around the state par- ticipated in the difficult task of developing Chapter 3. During intense writing conferences, they brainstormed, argued and worked together to reach consensus on what K-12 Minnesota students should know and be able to do in mathematics.
