Agricultural Clean Sweep
Janke updated the Committee on the 1995 Ag Clean Sweep program. He reported that the grant will pay
a higher portion of the total costs. They will pay seven -eights of the costs, up to $35,000. He also noted
that the disposal costs have dropped by a third. Janke noted that DATCAP requires pre -registration from
farmers and an estimate of how much chemicals they will be bringing in. Janke explained that Highway
Commissioner Dan Fedderly has concerns about using the building in Hammond for the drop-off site
because the hazardous waste remains in the building overnight before being removed to a disposal site.
The Hammond building was used in 1993 and worked well for traffic control and the entire program.
Hayducsko mentioned that a letter is being written to send to the Highway Department outlining the
background of the chemical company and the safety precautions that are taken during an event like this.
Janke noted that this is being tied in with the Polk County Ag Clean Sweep program which are within
one day of each other to help lower the costs to Chemical Waste.
Any Other Business
Hayducsko showed the Committee the ad that will be running for the Town of Star Prairie recycling
center.
Motion by Standafer, seconded by Filipiak to adjourn the meeting at 9:10 a.m. Motion carried.
