The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality has opened public comment on an application for renewal of Waste Management of North Dakota, Inc.'s Minot Transfer Station.
Waste Management currently owns and operates the transfer station located in Harrison Township in Ward County. Waste Management is proposing to renew its permit to allow the transferring of municipal solid waste. The facility was first permitted in 1993.
The NDDEQ believes a permit that meets the requirements of the North Dakota Solid Waste Management rules and is protective of human health and the environment can be issued to Waste Management and has prepared a draft permit for public review and comment.
The public comment runs through Nov. 19. During that period, any interested person may submit written comments and request a public hearing by stating the nature of the specific issues to be raised.
Comments, questions and written communication should be directed to: Charles R. Hyatt, director, North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Waste Management, 4201 Normandy St., Bismarck, ND 58503, or by email to solidwaste@nd.gov.
The draft permit and permit application are available for review at the NDDEQ in Bismarck or online at https://deq.nd.gov/PublicNotice.aspx.
