providing a supply of drinkable water and a new permanent water
supply. Time is of the essence and the permanent water supply
shall be completed within thirty (30) days or as soon as possible
after all necessary approvals are obtained for connection to public
or community water supply. The term "permanent water supply" shall
include a well, group or common well, area well, or hook up to a
public or community water supply. In the event of bacteriological
contamination which can be corrected by decontamination procedures
Applicant/Operator shall have the opportunity to decontaminate the
well. However, if the problem reoccurs a Fermanent solution shall
be undertaken. The Applicant/Operator shall have discretion upon
the approval of the City of Muskego at the Applicant/Operator's
expense to extend the city water to the area or connection to a
community well as an alternative to providing new deeper wells or
alternative water supply.
The Applicant/Operator to the extent desired may pre-
test any well or wells within this area for PCB's, pesticides or
bacteriological contamination. Such pretest shall take place
before site use begins. This testing shall be done at the
Applicant/Operator's expense. In the event a well owner does not
allow pre-testing of their well, they shall not be eligible for
the protections afforded by this paragraph. In the event a test
shows contaminants as aforesaid in the well, unless the condition
is rectified by the property owner at the property owner's expense,
the Applicant/Operator shall not be responsible for the well
replacement under this Agreement.

After pre-testing which would demonstrate none of the
aforesaid contaminants or if no pre-testing is undertaken by the
Applicant/Operator of any individual well, and the well is later
found to have said contaminants, Applicant/Operator shall supply
water under this Agreement. If the Applicant/Operator disputes
that their activities were responsible for or caused the
contamination, Applicant/Operator shall obtain an assignment from
each resident who is serviced by either city water or a community
well or who has been provided with a deeper well and bottled water
to pursue such rights and actions without recourse to the recipient
(unless the recipient has caused the contamination) and may pursue
any other parties they deem to be responsible for the cause. The
Applicant/Operator shall have no obligation under this paragraph
unless and until the affected property owner executes and delivers
0 such assignment of claims. All recovery of its costs had against
any third party shall become the property of the Applicant/
Operator. Nothing in this Agreement however shall be construed to

Applicant/Operator for any property damage or personal injury
associated with their operations and nothing herein shall be
construed to require an assignment of any and all claims of the
property owner but only an assignment of the claims based on the
expenses and other damages which the Applicant/Operator has
assumed.

surface water runoff will be allowed from the landfill into the

determined to be a wetland. Provided, however, that with the
approval of the Department of Natural Resources if wetlands located
on the subject property are relocated on said property, and
9
provided that said relocation of wetlands will have no adverse
effect or impact on property off the site, wetlands may be altered
accordingly.
In addition thereto, Applicant/Operator agrees that
during construction and operation it will not allow water to flow
from the landfill site at any excessive rate or at excessive volume
into the natural drainway. Excessive rate and volume herein means
a rate that will cause the flow of water from the landfill site to
spill over the natural banks of the drainway. Such steps and such
expense shall be undertaken by the Applicant/Opnrator to insure the
adequacy of the drainway to provide for flow from the landfill
site. Applicant/Operator will further respect the rights of the
City of Muskego off the site to regulate and enforce the
appropriate use of the drainway.
Applicant/Operator herein agrees that it will follow the
construction design plan approved by the Department of Natural
Resources after review of the feasibility report and that
compliance with those requirements shall become a part of this
Agreement. If there is a breach of the construction requirements,
that shall constitute a breach of the Agreement.
In addition to the berm for site containment, a fence,
comparable to the fence bordering the north boundary of said
property, shall be placed around the landfill site as set out in
Exhibit "D" hereto attached and incorporated by reference as a part
of this Agreement. The Applicant/Operator herein agrees that under
no circumstances shall the depth of the landfill site exceed that
10
set out in the approved feasibility report. Applicant/Operator
herein agrees that the height shall not exceed 875 feet MSL except
for cap and final cover. However, Applicant/Operator shall be
allowed adjustments in the event WDNR modifies the horizontal
limits or design which would reduce the designed capacity. It is
mutually agreed, however, that design capacity will not exceed the
capacity outlined in the current feasibility report.
5. Zonina ADPrOVal. Applicant/Operator herein respects
the duties and responsibilities of the City of Muskego and the
County of Waukesha to enforce its laws and ordinances concerning
land use in an equal unbiased manner and that said laws were
designed to protect the health, safety, welfare and morals of the
community.
Upon the signing of this agreement by Applicant/Operator e and the City of Muskego after approval by the Siting Committee, all
pre-existing local approvals preventing the site shall be modified
accordingly. Specifically the zoning for the site shall be
modified to Manufacturer 1-2 Zoning to allow the landfill with a
conditional use permit. Failure to so remove all pre-existing
local approvals shall render the Agreement null and void. Upon the
change in zoning the terms of this Agreement shall become the
conditional uses under the zoning. Nothing herein shall be
construed to eliminate the zoning of the City of Muskego.
All non-discriminatory and non-arbitrary provisions of
the zoning ordinance, such as set back, side yard, and other such
enactments shall continue except for any provisions for local
11
permits or licenses to operate a sanitary landfill such as the
provisions of section 11.03 of the City of Muskego Municipal Code.
Applicant/Operator may remove clay necessary for the creation of
the landfill site, however permitting for the hauling routes under

extraction other than that necessary to the creation of the
landfill site shall be allowed without a permit of approval by the
City of Muskego.
Applicant/Operator shall adhere to the building code
requirements and shall be required to apply for all building
permits. The City of Muskego shall not adopt any ordinance or
administrative rule or undertake any act of any arbitrary or
discriminatory nature in the review and issuance of such permits

City, however, does not waive any rights that it has which do not
violate Wisconsin or federal law.

operation the landfill Operator will take all steps required by
law, both State and Federal, to preserve the environmental
integrity of the landfill site and to warrant, indemnify and insure
the health, safety and welfare of all inhabitants, the City of
Muskego and the County of Waukesha. Applicant/Operator further

provide the City of Muskego with a survey under seal from a
licensed surveyor or professional engineer stating the percentage
of space remaining in the landfill and the percentage amount of
space used during the year. The report shall be based upon the
number of tons remaining in the landfill relative to the original
design space of 1,420,000 tons reported in the feasibility study.
To the extent such space is used by Applicant/Operator, the
Applicant/Operator shall pay an annual fee to the City of Muskego.

to be 1,420,000 tons as stated in the feasibility
report design capacity.

placement of waste on the site, the applicant shall
report:
a) Total space in the landfill expressed in
b) The total space remaining in the landfill
