elimination of open dumps, and improvements in incinerator practices. The Agency
shall also adopt standards for.the control of the collection, transportation, storage
and disposal of solid waste for the prevention and abatement of water, air and land
pollution, recognizing that due to variable factors, no single standard of solid
waste control is applicable to all areas of the state.· In adopting standards, the
pollution control agency shall.give·due recognition to the fact that elements of
· control whicli may be reasonab1e·and·proper in densely populated area·of the state may
be unreasonable and improper in sparsely populated or remote areas of the·state; and
it shall take into consideration in this connection such factors, including others
which it may deem proper, as existing physical conditions, topography, soils and
geology, climate, transportation and land use. Such standards of solid waste control
shall be premised on technical criteria and connnonly accepted practices." and
WHEREAS, Chapter 116.07 Subdivision 5 Variances states "The pollution
control agency may after public hearing grant variances from the requirements of regu-
lations or standards upon such procedure and conditions as it may by regulation pre-
scribe in order to avoid undue hardship and promote the effective and reasonable ap-
plication and enforcement of laws, regulations, and standards for prevention, abate-
ment and control of water, air, noise and land pollution •••• ", and
WHEREAS there is app~ently overwhelming evidence indicating the
failure of the Minnesota Pollution Control agency to recognize these provisions of
the Statutes, and
WHEREAS as a result of these operating difficulties serious misunder-
standings, ill feelings, and other administrative misgivings have occurred causing
undue hardships and personal/personnel distress.

Agency is requested to give proper consideration to the above mentioned provisions
