Dear Chuck and Jud
1103 Kin Plant Road
Ba Minnesota 55003-1000
I received y our letter dated Au 05, 2002, on Thursda Au 08, 2002. Thank y ou for
sharin y our time with Mark Fritsch and me on Jul 31, to allow us an opportunit to better
understand some of y our personal and business concerns with re to the current construction
pro at the A. S. Kin Landfill. This was also an opportunit for Mark to share with y ou the
fact that we had investi other situations involvin Xcel Ener construction pro that
,could have had an impact on nei g hbors, and to be certain y ou were bein treated e fair in
our responses.
One item in y our letter that concerns me is the reference that we are knowin operatin outside
the parameters of the Conditional Use Permit ( CUP) issued for this site and that we are aware
our doin so is a ne effect on both y our famil personal and business well bein As
mentioned at our meetin the onl area that would q ualif y as a CUP issue was the completion of
the "Stop Si will be installed" at the landfill exit onto Beach Ave. The stop si was
permanentl installed toda Au 12, 2002, as well as a 5mph speed limit si to control traffic
flow inside the landfill area. Xcel Ener is in compliance with the CUP.
The heav e loadin and unloadin that has occurred outside of normal workin hours
was for the most part to keep the contractor compliant with MnDot's "Wide" or lar than
normal load road restrictions durin hi traffic periods of the da Since our meetin 1 have had
the landfill locks chan that allows traffic into or out of the site to occur onl when our
construction superintendent is on site. He has instructions to contact me personall if there is a
need to conduct an e activit outside of restricted hours. If I can not be contacted, the
work activit will not occur.
I hope we have been able to address y our concerns and that y ou can remain assured we will
continue to conduct our work activit in compliance with all permittin re as well as
state, count and local ordinances.
Respectfull
