A Fond du Lac County committee is recommending spending federal American Rescue Plan Act funds to upgrade the county landfill. The resolution calls for the county to appropriate $580,000 in federal ARPA funds toward upgrades and repairs at the landfill. County executive Sam Kaufman says some of the monitoring wells at the landfill are outdated and non compliant with DNR regulations. Kaufman says at this point although some of the wells are not operational a sufficient number of monitoring wells are working. However, Kaufman says if repaires are not made contamination could be a concern down the road.
