A - r Ms. Shary Bisgard Chairperson Agriculture,Environment & Land Records Committee Rm 116,City-County Building Madison,Wisconsin 53709 November 12th, 1990 Dear Chairperson: re:Petition 4918,CUP 886-Reclaimation Plan & Soil Conservation Plan This request is to resolve a existing situation from many years past. The lands known as the Town Dump Site was a sand extraction site prior to being used as the dump area. The property line between my fields and the Dump is a sheer drop ranging from 15 to 25 feet. The Town of Deerfield has closed the open pit dump/burn site under a DNR closure plan in the spring of this year . I want to re-shape the Easterly 10-11 acres so that the low point in the dump will drain properly and at the same time stop the constant erosion from my fields over this drop-off along the property line . If we go Westerly about 400 feet from the dump property line and re-shape the field on a gentle line we will have a field with 4-5% slope when it is complete . Mr . Ed Scaro,P. E. of Environmental Services Group, was in charge of the Town dump closure operation. His position on my re-grading proposal is enclosed as it affects the Town Dump. The plan is to save all top soils of both the A and B horizons. Remove the sub-soils as necessary to achieve the slope grades of 4-5% maximum fall . Re-direct the field drainage Southerly away from the closed dump site and onto work lands I own South of the affected area. Grading would be in an eliptical pattern from N-S,bringing the soil from the West side around and placing it on the East side . The open cut area would be about 150 ' wide at its widest point at any given time . Re-planting on the replaced soils would be carried on annually in the same manner as the balance of the adjoining
