IL YAHARA MATERIALS P.O. Box 277 Waunakee, WI 53597-0277 Phone 608-849-4162 Fax 608-849-5062 Reclamation Plan Beuthin and Wipperfurth Properties Intro: The Beuthin and Wipperfurth properties are adjoining parcels of land that are non-conforming mineral extraction sites. These sites were used to supply sand and gravel to DOT, and private projects since 1919 in the case of the Wipperfurth property, and the early 1960's for the Beuthin property. Both of these sites contain large quantities of very high-grade sand and gravel. To this point, neither site has had a reclamation plan. Yahara Materials, Inc. has leased both of these properties and is planning to operate both of these sites in conjunction with our Halfway Prairie site, which is adjacent to these properties. All operations and reclamation would be coordinated with all three sites. Location: Both sites are located in Section 10,Town 8 North, Range 6 East, in Mazomanie Township, within Dane County, Wisconsin. Ownership: Frederick and Virginia Beuthin 10129 Mathewson Road Mazomanie, WI 53560 Ownership: Richard and Barbara Wipperfurth 10026 Highway 19 Mazomanie, WI 53560 Operator: Yahara Materials, Inc. P.O. Box 277 Waunakee, WI 53597 Existing Site Plan: Both the Beuthin and Wipperfurth properties have existing gravel pits that have been worked over the years to supply aggregate for projects in the area. The balance of both properties is agricultural land and wooded areas. The adjacent woods and agricultural lands support native wildlife such as coyotes,white-tailed deer, raccoons, fox, opossums, skunks, various birds, and other wildlife commonly found in Southwestern Wisconsin. The native plant life in the adjacent woods is typical of the woodland areas of Southern Wisconsin. The surrounding agricultural fields are annually rotated between soybeans, wheat, corn, oats and alfalfa.
