FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Richfield, WI...The Village of Richfield was notified by email correspondence on Wednesday, May 13,
2015 by Attorney Bruce A. Mcllnay that the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has
issued a “WPDES Construction Site Storm Water Runoff” permit to Richard and Yvonne Holz for the
property located at 609 Scenic Road. The legal counsel for Scenic Pit LLC. further advised that his client
is ‘proceeding with its plan to fill this pit without seeking local approvals’.
‘The Village takes the position that local approvals are needed and none have been granted to date. This
position, that local approvals are necessary, is based largely on representations made to the Village by the
DNR. Over the last several months the Village has been in close communication with the Wisconsin DNR.
regarding Scenic Pit LLC.s proposed operations and they were assured that local approvals are, in fact, a
requirement. The Village Attorney has been directed to take any and all necessary action in order to
protect the Village.
