Mr. Craig Johnson will be Waste Management, Inc.'s contact man to keep <br />the City informed on the progress of the new well and its location. <br /> <br />City Engineer Raatikka stated they are looking for monitoring of water. <br /> <br />Mr. Don Otter explained the way the water from a well is taken for test <br />purposes. <br /> <br />2) The next problem Attorney Goodrich stated was the ponding of wa%er <br />on the west side of the site. He stated water is allowed to stand and <br />then when drained this creates an erosion problem. <br /> <br />~ir. Craig Johnson stated water was standing due to the spring thaw and <br />he proceeded to explained why it was allowed to happen. He said there <br />was no intentional ponding of water. <br /> <br />Mr. Don Otter explained how the site settles out over a year and a half <br />and. a natural ponding does occur. <br /> <br />~ayor Gamec recalled the time when Mr. Bob Hutchison, Consorehensive <br />Health and Mr. Ed Fields visited the landfill and the impression they <br />had at that time. <br /> <br />Mr. Craig Johnson stated again they never have intended to pond water. <br />Mr. Don Otter also stated there is no intentional ponding of water and <br />he said this is strictly a "no-no". <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec asked about holding a certain amount of water. <br /> <br />~lr. Otter said with the sand it should be no problem a~ all. <br /> <br />Councilman Reimarna asked about th$ side of the site facing the residents <br />to the west and the water flow and erosion. <br /> <br />City Administrator Schnelle asked about seeding of the west side, <br /> <br />Mr. Otter stated he is satisfied with the way the landfill is looking <br />at the present in regards to grass grown on the west side. <br /> <br />Councilman Reimann asked about planting shrubs to hold the ground and <br />get the vegetation going. <br /> <br />Mr. Otter stated they haven't had any serious erosion problems in the <br />past and it is not uncommon in any construction site. He said there <br />are steeper slopes in~iilwaukee and they haven't had any problem. <br />Councilman Reimann asked if it would be better to try planting trees. <br /> <br />Mr. Otter said it would take thousands of trees and then they couldn't <br />go back and fix any of the problems in the future because the trees <br />would be in the way. <br /> <br />Councilman Reimann doesn't feel there would be any problem once the <br />trees do take hold. <br /> <br />Special Council <br />May 7, 1980 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
