DATE: October 27, 1994 TO: Dane County Regional Planning Commission, Dane County Zoni and Natural Resources Committee 1CT 3 1 1 FROM: Roxanne Seeli and Robert Walthe ) RECEIVED. DeConstruction, Inc. MONING Dr RE: Site Mitigation Proposals DeConstruction, Inc. (DCI) recently provided you with a memo describing the design and operation of the proposed recycling center for construction and demolition (C & D)debris in Gaston Quarry, Cottage Grove. This memo describes DCI's proposed site development plan that will help to mitigate the impact of the recycling facility on area residents of Cottage Grove. DCI proposes to comply with the following conditions if permitted to operate the C & D debris recycling center in Gaston Quarry. Please see the attached map while reading through the following proposed conditions. 1. DCI will widen and strengthen the Gaston Rd. entrance from C.T.H. N up to the facility entrance. 2. DCI will clear vegetation at the facility entrance to ensure maximum visibility for trucks leaving the facility. 3. DCI will install a six-foot fence surrounding the facility. Currently, only a three foot fence partially surrounds the facility. 4. DCI will add to the existing berm bordering the southern edge of the quarry to better screen the future school and developments to the south of the quarry from the noise and view of the facility. The berm will be as high as to block any view of the recycling facility when viewing the quarry site from the south. Note, a large berm already exists with extensive vegetation to the south and the facility location in the quarry is"sunk-in" relative to the borders of the quarry. 5. DCI will plant vegetation on the north side of the quarry to help screen the noise and view of the facility from adjacent homes. 6. DCI will orient the facility and the tipping floor to direct noise away from homes and the future school, and to minimize the need for trucks to "back-up" (i.e. to minimize the back- up beeper noise). 7. As a condition of purchasing of the quarry, the extensive existing contamination will be cleaned up. This contamination presents great risk to, and may have already contaminated, ground water surrounding the quarry. 8. DCI will include the advisory committee and Cottage Grove's long range planning committee in the review and finalization of the land reclamation plan for the quarry. Note, the specifics and timeline for the removal and relocation of the recycling facility will be included in the land reclamation plan.
