A communication from the Department of Natural Resources regarding the
Wauer Landfill site was read. it was noted by the committee that the
• DNR does not have thorough records of monthly tonnage figures on the
Muskego 'Land Reclamation site, however, the periodic tonnage figurer,
they do have are somewhat similar to that submitted by Building Inspector
Lee. The letter from the DNR also indicated that the site as it presently
exists will be abandoned by October 1, 1976, and that 2 feet of final
earth cover followed by 6" of topsoil will be placed over the entire site.
They also indicated the entire site will have to be graded and sloped
in such a way to minimize the chances of surface water standing on the
site. An abandonment plan will be submitted to the DNR by Waste Manage-
ment's consulting engineering firm (EMCON Associates) within 60 days.
The engineering firm for Waste Management also will be submitting to the.
DNR plans for the location of future landfill operations on the Wauer
property within an area previously approved by the City of Muskego.
According to the DNR there is no evidence that the zone of influence of
any contamination has migrated to any areas other than directly under the
site, It is the opinion of the DNR there is no reason to suspect private
wells being contaminated due to the effects of the landfill.
Discussion was held as to whether or not to recommend approval of the
operation through Resolution #241-76. Since a consensus could not be
reached the committee will continue to ask for deferment.
The committee directed Mayor Gottfried to contact Waste Management for
• copies of the log which is kept by them of all waste tonnage trans-
ported to the site each day,
The meeting adjourned at 10-00 Y.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Jerome J. Gottfried
Acting Secretary
