TITLE
A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN APPLICATION FOR INTERIM REMEDIATION AND
CONSTRUCTION WORK UPON THE PHASE III UNIT OF PUEBLO SOUTHSIDE
LANDFILL
ISSUE
Should Council approve an application on behalf of Zupan Enterprises, Inc. to perform
certain remediation and construction work at the Phase III Unit of the Southside
Landfill?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval is recommended in order that the solid waste disposal facility reopen at the
earliest possible time.
BACKGROUND
On July 28, City Council approved a transaction which essentially allowed Waste
Connections, Inc. ( "WCI ") to evaluate Phase II and III of the Pueblo Southside Landfill,
and authorized WCI to obtain approval to acquire Phase II and III from Zupan
Enterprises and subsequently reopen the Landfill upon specified terms.
As part of the evaluation process, certain remedial /corrective work has been identified
and may be performed prior to (a) the closing of the above - described transaction, and
(b) City action on modification of the Certificate of Designation for the Phase II and
Phase III Units. By allowing the remedial work to proceed on this basis, identified
problems with the facility will be corrected and the re- opening of the facility may logically
proceed without unnecessary delay. Approval of this Resolution is consistent with
protection of public health and safety.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
