Wisconsin 53527 <br /> 608-255-9223 <br /> FAX 608-839-5936 <br /> February 15, 2000 <br /> Silvin Kurt <br /> Town of Cottage Grove Chairman <br /> 4544 Ridge Road <br /> Deerfield, WI 53531 <br /> RE: Huston Holdings Hwy 12/18 &Hwy N Reclamation Plan Revision <br /> Dear Silvin, <br /> Dale and Dwight Huston are writing to you to provide you with some background <br /> information before meeting with the Town Board at your February 21, 2000 meeting. Over the <br /> past year we have had numerous meetings and phone conversations with the Wisconsin Department <br /> of Transportation(WisDOT), HNTB (the design engineers of Hwy 12/18), Dane County Land <br /> Conservation, Dane County Zoning,just to name a few key players. The reason for all of these <br /> contacts has been the drainage problems associated with the newly constructed Hwy 12/18. Our <br /> firm is currently involved with helping the WisDOT fix some of the drainage problems at the Nora <br /> Road-Hwy 12/18 intersection but we are currently struggling with the drainage problems caused <br /> by the new Hwy at our mineral extraction site at Hwy N—Hwy 12/18 intersection. We have <br /> enclosed copies of a few of the key sequential contacts to give you a feel for the number of decision <br /> makers involved and part of the reason we are looking for a time extension on this mineral <br /> extraction site. <br /> We would like to extend the CUP # 1476 time frame as follows: <br /> Original time frame was 5 years to be 4 years of mining and 1 year to reclaim only. This time <br /> frame was to commence on the date that the original erosion control permit was issued(ECP 3 <br /> #369 was issued on 3/31/98). Therefore we are to stop mining on 3/31/02 and reclaim the site by <br /> 3/31/03. Proposed time frame is a two-year extension. We would like to be able to mine and <br /> reclaim(as we have been)until 3/31/05 at which time the site would be closed. <br /> With out too much detail we offer the following reasons for the proposed time frame: <br /> 1. Drainage analysis' need to be completed to address these new issues. <br /> 2. Extensive changes to our reclamation plan design <br /> 3. Extensive construction is foreseen to be needed to implement this new(future)reclamation <br /> plan. <br /> 4. A viable source is still available to mine(and needs to be mined to offset these new design <br /> and construction costs). <br /> Please call with any questions and we look forward to seeing you Monday night. Thank you for <br /> your time. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Dennis Richardson <br /> Engineer <br /> Cc. Town of Cottage Grove Supervisors <br /> AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br />
