OPERATIONS PLAN Page 2-0515-174B 3 of 4 r2.3.2. Odor/Pollution The multitude of individual sewage holding tanks that serve the campers and RVs are the major source of unpleasant odors at the campground. CLC is looking to eliminate existing holding tanks by constructing a sanitary sewage collection and treatment system to serve Dane County area of the campground. 2.3.3. Dust Control ' There are multiple paved private roads within the campground. Management will assess and document the conditions of the road at each site during preseason start up inspection to determine if dust related issues have to be dealt with. 2.4. Compliance with the County Regulation The existing Campground was developed before the County's stormwater and erosion control standards were in place. We believe the campground was developed at a time when it was a permitted use in the Recreational Zoning District. It is understood that any proposed construction activity other than maintenance work will need to meet County regulations. 2.5. Sanitary Sewer The majority of the campers and RVs located within Dane County are connected to individual holding tanks that store raw sewage.A number of these tanks are suspect of either their actual capacity or their integrity. The Wisconsin DNR has,for decades, sought to get the past CLC owners to bring the entire camp- ground into compliance regarding collection and treatment of the sewage generated there. Most recently,with the change in ownership to Nate Trappe, headway has been made to that end. The initial step was to map the locations, capacities and capabilities of the sewer lines, manholes, laterals, sewage lift stations, and forcemains within the campground(in both Dane and Columbia Counties). They were also tasked by the DNR to locate and identify all unsewered camp sites which they did last year(see Appendix A). The existing campground routinely has all of its sites filled during the summer season. The DNR has pushed CLC to construct a sewage collection system for the entire campground as part of their continuing WPDES permit compliance. The DNR's Compliance Maintenance Annual Report(CMAR) ' and Capacity Management Operation & Maintenance(CMOM)program puts additional requirements on Mr. Trappe to bring his collection and treatment system up to par. Nathan understood that his existing wastewater treatment lagoons(in Columbia County)are in poor condition. The existing sewage lift stations are also in varying states of disrepair. Expanding the sewage collection system to include the Dane County area of CLC would place a significant burden on his existing system. Mr.Trappe saw an opportunity to eliminate existing holding tanks by constructing a localized sewage collection treatment system (POWTS).
