Background and Rationale
body
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has mandated counties in the region develop Wood Waste Management Plans to prevent and manage wood waste in each county and throughout the region.
Ramsey County Public Health is in process of developing Ramsey County’s Wood Waste Management Plan and is aiming for plan completion in the first part of 2026. The tasks include working collaboratively on regional planning and offer support to municipalities, including working with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to identify funding sources for these efforts and evaluating alternative processing methods and emerging technologies, such as gasification, to manage wood waste.
