August 22, 1996 <br /> Dane County Zoning & Natural Resources Committee <br /> Ref: Zoning Petition #6652 <br /> Rolling Wheels, Town of Cottage Grove <br /> To Members Of The Committee: <br /> I am forwarding the following information in regard to any concerns any Committee <br /> Members may have about individual Septic Systems and their relationship to <br /> groundwater protection. <br /> I have talked at length with Mr. Jim Clark, who is the director of the Dane County <br /> Environmental Health Dept., and he stated the following positions: <br /> 1 . He is not aware of any adverse health affects due to groundwater <br /> contamination due to on-site septic systems. <br /> 2. Properly located and maintained private systems do not pose a threat to <br /> Public Health or groundwater. <br /> 3. He is not opposed to Lots relying on private sewage systems. <br /> If you have any questions for Mr. Clark his work number is 242-6515. <br /> I also talked with Professor Fred Madison of the U.W. Soils Dept. and U.S. <br /> Geological and Natural History Survey Dept. . Professor Madison has pretty much <br /> the same opinions as Mr. Clark. His work number is 262-1705. <br /> I also talked with Jim Converse who is a U.W. Professor of Agricultural Engineering <br /> and the principal investigator for a waste demonstration project. Professor <br /> Converse saw no objection to properly installed on-site Septic Systems and saw <br /> the advantage of their recharging of the groundwater. His work number is 262-1106. <br /> I plan to be at your August 27, 1996 work session and will be available to answer <br /> your questions. <br /> Thank You For Your Service And Attention <br /> John Dahl <br /> 222-3632 <br /> • <br />
