• • "I. SITE DESCRIPTION AND GENERAL INFORMATION Introduction The Dane County Public Works Department has proposed the development of a County-owned and operated solid waste sanitary landfill (Dane County Sanitary Landfill No. 2) near the City of Madison's south- eastern corporate limits in the Town of Blooming Grove, north of U.S.H. 12 & 18 and west of C.T.H. "AB" . The proposed landfill is designed to incorporate a five foot thick compacted clay liner at the base and sidewalls of the site to provide a barrier for the exfiltration of leachate and a two foot thick compacted clay cap as final cover to prevent the infiltration of surface water. Clay soils derived from the silty clay loess deposits located on-site are proposed to be used for about 40% of the clay needed for liner construction and final cover. The Droster-Homburg site is proposed as an alternate clay borrow source to provide a portion of the additional clay needed. Site Identification The Droster-Homburg site consists of about 35 acres in the fractional South 1/2 of the Northwest 1/4 and the fractional North 1/2 of the Southwest 1/4 of Section 30 , Township 7 North, Range 11 East, Town of Cottage Grove, Dane County. The site is located east of C.T.H. "AB" and is bisected by a town road called Lud' s Lane , that dead ends at a private residence located to the east. The property is currently owned by Wesley R. Droster, 1405 Nishishin Trail, Madison, Wisconsin and Harold N. Homburg, 6106 Milwaukee Street, Madison, Wisconsin. The County of Dane and the owners of the property are prepared to enter into a contractual agreement, contingent upon obtaining approval from the appropriate governmental agencies for a conditional use permit, for the removal of the clay material and the reclamation of the site in accordance with this Plan. Land Use and Zoning The 35± acre Droster-Homburg property which is proposed to be used as a clay borrow source is mainly cropland which has been typically planted to corn. Most of the cropland acreage would be disturbed by the borrow activity but, following the removal of the clay material, the site will be restored and will again be available for agricultural use. The Droster-Homburg property falls under the jurisdiction of the Dane County Zoning Ordinance. Approximately 32 acres are zoned A-1 Agridultural District (exclusive) . Approximately three acres are zoned C-1 Commercial District. Governmental uses are permitted in both of these zoning districts with the issuance of a conditional use permit. Topography The proposed borrow site is located on a gently rolling glacial till plain approximately three miles northwest of Lake Waubesa. Site
