Title
Rodefeld Landfill Expansion
Dane County is expanding the Rodefeld Landfill in 2013. This expansion is critical to the City of Madison as we rely upon the facility to dispose of our solid waste. The expansion plans also dovetail with the City's plan to build an anaerobic digester for source separated organics.
As of January 2, 2013 the County's expansion plans on on schedule. The County has constructed and opened a transfer station at the Rodefeld site. The transfer station will be used to separate construction and demolition debris for recycling. The facility will also house a year round Clean Sweep facility for household hazardous waste.
The County's consultant has submitted the application and the application has been accepted by the Department of Natural Resources. The consultant is now working on the feasibility study which is the most important document for the expansion.
A committee with representatives form the affected communities, the City of Madison and the Town of Blooming Grove will begin to meet in late January to work out operating details. George Dreckmann, Larry Nelson, Paul Reilly, and James Voss will represent the City on the committee.
The Committee has met several times and resolved most of the issues related to siting. The County is now working with the Town of Cottage Grove on compensation for property owners adjacent tot he landfill.
The City will begin discussion with the COunty on the two party user agreement on June 18, 2013.
