MN SF3752

Counties may issue class I demolition land disposal facility permits under Minnesota Statutes, section 400.16, which replace Pollution Control Agency permits until the agency adopts revised rules and issues new permits based on those rules.

County permits must comply with Minnesota Rules, part 7035.2825, and the Pollution Control Agency's Demolition Landfill Guidance (August 2005), while considering environmental benefits and impacts, social and economic factors, and feasibility of permit conditions.

The Pollution Control Agency must use existing appropriations to evaluate groundwater quality data from demolition debris land disposal facilities collected through a monitoring program, referencing Department of Health health risk limits and health risk values.

The Pollution Control Agency must account for site-specific information in evaluating pollutants to determine if pollutant concentrations occur naturally or originate from activities unrelated to the permitted demolition debris facility.

The Pollution Control Agency must submit a report of its groundwater quality evaluation to legislative committees with jurisdiction over environment and natural resources finance by November 1, 2018.
