Residents oppose proposed landfill expansion; board to seek DNR report
Summary
Two Viroqua residents urged the Board to halt or reconsider landfill expansion, alleging inadequate review and leaching; a supervisor later requested the DNR letter on the landfill be placed on the January agenda.
Tom Lukens and Kevin Rodolfo addressed the Board during the Audience to Visitors opposing the County's landfill expansion. Lukens told supervisors he "doesn't feel the Board looked at all the relevant information before making its decision to expand," and Rodolfo raised concerns that the landfill has already "leached" and questioned Department of Natural Resources oversight.
Their comments were noted during public comment and were not acted on immediately; Supervisor Taylor requested at the end of the meeting that the Board receive the DNR report (letter) about the landfill, an update on the Host Committee agreement, and a financial update on the landfill at the January meeting. The Administrative Coordinator had earlier noted the Infrastructure Committee met with the Landfill Host Committee and that a feasibility and cost review was underway.
No formal vote on expansion occurred at this meeting; the public comment and the requested DNR report indicate supervisors expect further information and possible future action.
