He is correct on the need for a MPCA permit to re the fillin
activit but that does not absolve the need for a permit from the cit to
remove the trees and compl with the tree, replacement provisions of our
ordinance.

Subject: Xcel Ener Ash Landfill - Tree Removal
Mark -
I met with Dar Knutson of Xcel Ener toda at the ash
landfill site. He told me that Xcel is plannin to remove trees on
the entire slope west of the 58th St. cul-de-sac near Cover Park
Manor. He sa that has to be done this y ear so that fillin can
occur all the wa from the slope behind the townhomes east of Os
to the 58th St. cul-de-sac. I g ave him a cop of the Cit
Tree Protection Ordinance. I said that the ordinance re a
tree inventor (at least of the area bein removed and that tree
replacement would be based on diameter inches of trees removed. If
Xcel wanted to offset that replacement somewhat, the could do an
inventor of the other trees remainin on the entire site and use the
ordinance e to calculate the adjusted tree replacement. He
said he would read the ordinance, talk with people at Xcel and g et
back to me. He said the active portion of the landfill is under PCA
permittin and would not fall under Cit re for permits,
etc., until the cells were filled and the areas closed and turned
over to the Cit M q uestion to y ou is:
Is it correct that the don't need an permits from the Cit to fill
in the area?
Am I correct in assumin that the can remove trees on the slope
which are in the wa of their proposed plans for fillin the area?
Does the Cit Tree Protection Ordinance appl to this situation?
Thanks.
