General Description of the. Operation. <br /> The current use of the property is as a stone and gravel quarry and agricultural fields. The proposed <br /> CUPs will allow the quarry operations to continue.The site was granted a CUP in 1989(CUP#643), <br /> 1994(CUP# 1159),2000(CUP# 1642)and 2005 (CUP#1993). CUP# 1993 is attached. The <br /> proposed use of the site is expansion of the existing stone and gravel quarry. <br /> Mining of the limestone bedrock will occur in a single phase. The mining operations will continue <br /> along the north face of the Northern Expansion Area from the center of the extraction area and will <br /> excavate the exposed working faces,extracting down and into bedrock towards the property boundary <br /> or until the excavation reaches the desired final grades. <br /> Hardpan and other unsuitable material encountered during the mining operation, along with clean <br /> uncontaminated fill, are stockpiled to provide a source of backfill material during final reclamation <br /> activities. <br /> b. Existing uses of the land. <br /> The neighboring properties are used for private residences, agricultural fields and a cemetery. The <br /> current use of a portion of the property is as a stone and gravel quarry. The CUPs will allow the <br /> quarry operations to continue. <br /> c. Existing natural features including depth to ground water. <br /> Wisconsin Geologic and Natural History Survey(WGNHS)Report#HA-360 gives an overview of <br /> the bedrock and glacial geology. Regionally,unconsolidated deposits of glacial origin consisting of <br /> till, outwash, and glacial lake sediments cover the area, often to a thickness of several hundred feet. <br /> Bedrock consists of Cambrian sandstones overlain in some areas by Ordovician dolomites. <br /> Precambrian bedrock lies under the sandstone at depths of greater than 500 feet. Cambrian sandstone <br /> of the St. Peter Group underlies the dolomite. <br /> The WGNHS indicates quarry operations are mostly bedrock of the St.Peter Sandstone and the <br /> Prairie du Chien group consisting mostly of dolomite. The WGNHS indicates thicknesses up to 350 <br /> and 250 feet, respectively. <br /> Wisconsin Geologic and Natural History Survey(WGNHS)Report#HA-360 gives an overview of <br /> the regional groundwater regime. Depth to groundwater in the area of the mining operation is <br /> typically less than 150 feet according to the WGNHS report. This is supported by mining operations, <br /> with depths of approximately 70 feet and not encountering ground water. <br /> Groundwater moves away from high points on the potentiometric surface and discharges into lakes, <br /> streams,wetlands and areas of pumpage. Flow paths are short. <br /> Conditional Use Permit—Mineral Extraction Updated December 9,2016 NE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 Sec.,26,T8N,RIOE <br /> Madison Crushing&Excavating.,Inc.
