Sofidel America - Hazardous Waste Permit

We invite you to comment on the draft hazardous waste permit for Sofidel America's hazardous waste landfill in Duluth.


Sofidel America has applied for a permit renewal for its hazardous waste landfill, which holds approximately 23,000 cubic yards of waste material, primarily soil and fill from a former scrapyard, railroad ties, and construction debris. 


The draft hazardous waste permit authorizes Sofidel America to continue storage of hazardous waste in an on-site closed landfill.


A hazardous waste permit is required for facilities that treat, store, and/or dispose of substances that are classified as hazardous waste by the federal government. The hazardous waste permit requirements include operating conditions, recordkeeping and reporting, monitoring, inspections and site security, personnel training, emergency prevention and response procedures, and financial assurance. Hazardous waste permits are issued for a five-year period and may be renewed or modified. Permits are enforced through routine inspections by the MPCA, EPA, and/or counties in the seven-county metro area.
