Below is contact information followed by important points about our concerns. Please add your concerns as you make contact.

Richfield citizens are asking for legislation for clean-fill landfills to be regulated through the same steps as other landfills. This means that clean-fill landfills should not be exempt from any locational criteria or performance standards in NR 504.04(3) (a-i) AND 504.04(4) (a-f). Clean-fill landfills need to conform to NR 500 to 538.

Scott Walker's office oversees the DNR. Richfield citizens are asking for the DNR to use its authority to declare that this landfill is a threat to our water supply.
Important Points:
1. Richfield residential drinking water is ~15-20 feet below the surface of the pit.
2. The pit is a large part of the recharge source of water that we drink.
3. There are wells, homes and bodies of water very close to the proposed landfill site:
· 40 wells within 1,200 feet
· 77 properties within 1,200 feet
· Bark River and a Floodway Zoning District/Flood Storage within 1,200 feet
· Bark Lake within a 0.5-mile radius
· 894 properties within a 1-mile radius
· 1000 properties within a 2-mile radius
4. There is an elementary school within 1 mile of the proposed landfill site.
5. Clean-fill concrete, paint, and asphalt have toxins that leach into water.
6. Lead chromate used as yellow paint on roads in the past could be dumped into this landfill.
7. Materials entering the landfill are not tested before dumping and it will be too late when Richfield water is contaminated.
8. Noise, traffic, and dust are serious public nuisance concerns.
Everyone of legal age in your household needs to call, write, and email.
Thank you,
