RE: Oak Park Heights - MWCC CUP and Variance
FILE NO: 798 . 02 - 90 . 02
As part of all the necessary approvals for the expansion of the
MWCC Sewer Plant ( in addition to the conditional approvals given
by the City Council at its last meeting) , the plant expansion
requires the preparation and consideration of an Environmental
Assessment Worksheet (EAW) .
An EAW is an analysis that determines if any detrimental or
adverse environmental impacts will occur as a result of the
expansion. This analysis is to be conducted by the State
Pollution Control Agency and is expected to be completed in late
May or June. Once the EAW is completed, a public hearing will be
held to allow the public to review and comment upon the EAW.
This hearing is expected to be held towards the end of June. I
will keep in contact with the PCA to determine the exact time and
place of the hearing. It may be desirable to ask them if they
would hold the hearing in Oak Park Heights to make it more
accessible to the neighboring residents . Please advise if this
should be pursued.
As a last item, no building permits may be issued for the plant
expansion until the environmental review process is complete. I
raise this point simply to emphasize the City Council ' s previous
conditional approvals do not allow the MWCC to begin construction
prior to the EAW review. The Council ' s approvals will take
effect after the satisfactory resolution of the EAW.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not
hesitate to call .
