An ordinance amending Chapter 357 of the Saint Paul Legislative Cq�e pertaining to
solid waste and adding provisions regarding the use of incinerators�vitlun the city of
Saint Paul. S
Legislativepurpose. The Council of the City of Saint P ul concemed about the present use
of incinerators in homes and small businesses, which incinera op�are not capable of attainuig high
enough temperatures so as to achieve complete combustion o the materials being placed into the
incinerators. The incomplete combustion of such produ ts paper, cardboard, plastics and other
organic materials will cause emission into the air of lu,�nts such as dio�un and which pollutants
are both harmful and annoying. Complaints have be r�ceived from the operation of these
incinerators concerning smoke, odors and annoy ce , `persons, as well as concern about the
��otential environmental dangers. At the present i a'the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency does
not monitor nor require permits for incinerators w 'ch have a refuse burning capacity less than
1,000 pounds per hour. The PCA has pro t��adopt rules relating to incinerators that would
prohibit incinerators in single and multi-fanu t�vellings, and would establish permit, monitoring
and emission standards for incinerators, i clu g incinerators which have a burning capacity of less
than 1,000 pounds per hour. For the pro�c�on of the public health and safety, and the public
welfare, the Council finds that the elimi at�on of inadequate incinerators and the imposition of
monitoring and emission standards i an propriate governmental purpose, and that the enactment
of local emission regulations with r s egf to stationary sources more restrictive than those
regulations enacted by the PCA is a �asonable means to achieve that purpose.

Dear Councilmember Long: .
At the request of Bob Cudahy, Council Policy Analyst, I have
reviewed the attached ordinance which would prohibit incinerators
with a maximum refuse burning capacity of less than 1000 pounds per
hour within the City of Saint Paul within 6 months of the date of
the adoption of the ordinance. Mr. Cudahy's request was received
by our office on April 13th, and we have not had sufficient time
to research all of the issues raised by the draft.
This letter is written to ^satisfy the requirements of Section
3.02 (3) of �he Saint Paul Administrative Code in order to permit
the ordinance to be introduced in draft form without the signature
of the City Attorney, and is directed as well to the City Clerk.
The draft ordinance proposing to ban incinerators should be
researched to determine whether it is in conflict with Minnesota
Statutes Section 116.07. We will continue to research the issue
of pre-emption, and advise you accordingly.
There is also a need for a proper record to establish that the
ordinance serves a legitimate governmental purpose and that the
means chosen to address this purpose is reasonable and not overly ,
restrictive. I have not signed the ordinance at this time because
hearings have not yet been held and the factual record not yet
developed for review by the City Attorney's Office.
I would certainly be happy to continue to work with you and
your staff on the kinds of witnesses and testimony that would
�

for the regulatory provisions of the ordinance.
