Utility Materials Handling Site

Project Overview

This project is for creation of a new disposal site for the Sanitary Sewer, Stormwater, and Water Utilities, allowing for the disposal of excess cut from repair operations and to allow for the dewatering of dredge sediments from pond maintenance operations. Once dewatered, the material is expected to be moved to a final disposal location on this same site.  The Utilities' current disposal site is running out of fill area, and with the planned increase in dredging of stormwater retention facilities/ponds as required for compliance with the City's EPA Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WPDES) discharge permit, the current drying bed, the Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District Drying Bed, is becoming too small. Sewer Utility will own the site and Stormwater Utility and Water Utility will annually pay for their usage of it.
