<br />Dear Arty. Gault
<br />Thank you for ynnr response Icoo to Your Ham, but l am concerned that the County continues to broadly redone the
<br />operation despite countervailing facts and concerns,
<br />Your ry,purm broadly states that "all of the Information" in Mr asked August 28, 2017, common, ence to Me Town Wu
<br />correct However, there were Issues discussed in hot letter that are not discussed In your email Toss missionndenr
<br />assumes you have not researched and oppressed those issues, such as Mr. Lane's statement that only one person has
<br />previously complained about this site and risk Al mmplain6 were unproven. As we pointed out In our response, other
<br />neighbors in addition to Mr. TUkiendmf have complained, rent just to the County, but to the Town, multiple times. We have
<br />also pointed ew tint MC Tukiendort's claims have been substantiated, such as complaints regarding signer Arco to the
<br />DNR see, for example, the attached DNR correspondence.
<br />You also broadly state that "me site is in mnmrmonrewRhau county ordinances and DNg mgNatiago lamrotmrewinch
<br />DNR regubGme yoosm abandon to or what work the County has done to assess compilers, witholl DNR upped OnS Acted:
<br />noted, there have been DNR comp rune Issues In the pan You also note that there are "technical deviations from the
<br />incorporated erosion control and sommwatermarrag uncnl plan" but that he sodium Administrator does not monn them
<br />material." Please be assured that neighbors of the fac11RYdo dcem these sometimes to be'material;csuch as the failure to
<br />install a thents pad that would reduce mud tracked onto the driveway wbMrpasses coo feet from tm Toodndod home This
<br />mud then dries and becomes Picture, drifting onto the Tukiendorfproperty. Your email did not discuss this leue Weaker
<br />disagree that the erasion purees refers only no c preexisting fence.
<br />Regarding enforcement of the ei done control andsuperseded management permit and plan, Idemocrats, you cloying your
<br />understandingof Jm County ONlnancesatlssue. It appears we agree the plan is enforceable If asyoustatethe County Gnd
<br />& Water Resources Department does not Issue a separate permit for non means: mines, I am undearwity it did good a
<br />seemed permit h2012. Dane County0td. §1442 dove flat list nonmetallic minds amonic the uses that are exempt from the
<br />erosion funding permitting stlreme outllned In that chapter and the jurisdiction of the Land R Water Resource Department
<br />(losses attending the Town of Cottage Grove Pion Commiscon meeting an November 15 complained about the existing mine
<br />site not behg reclaimed. (Refer, for exam oe, to moments of Otto chosen and Andrea fnTudge) You state that despite the
<br />declamation schedule In the routine emsipn central permit for set 2010 as thdmelark year, the operator is not required
<br />to rediitm until the sit, Is exhausted I appreciate you Roder the plan smuld he upd,rd to door,a revised date, but at
<br />proT numungs, Me Cadtell M1as stand the site is actually exlnustesd or would be soon (which examine hire m Pro torn now mine
<br />site). More recently, at the November 15 mentin& restated more resources could dedretlrelly he obtained at a greater
<br />depth. It is not clear that he MS any plans to obtain hey, monotony or that they would be suitable for concrete. The County
<br />should require nodamatlon now, since the open site is aggravating m neighhors a,N comet be notaffed In Its current state
<br />indefmtely.
<br />I remain concerned that neighbor concerns mention firs; nor, on and Peter plant am being dismissed as just the concerns of
<br />IInwpeople While these is not a nor density area, that does wl mean rho concerns of the neighbors are not valid or
<br />unworthy of retire .us 191 also draw your attention to the last page of our November 10, gory, letter, who b noted Mr Cattail's
<br />t that 'hidden munches(sk) to the entire property we do have other operations that have no concert in
<br />n(Rr)
<br />to th e�CUPjee'lRecycle(wimalt ionic e Is, Sound Pit dumping, and topsoil sales J" We noted.
