Village residents depend exclusively on groundwater for a safe drinking water supply. Certain land use practices and activities can seriously threaten or degrade groundwater quality. The purpose of this chapter is to institute land use regulations and restrictions to protect the Village's municipal water supply, and to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the residents of the Village.
Authority. Statutory authority of the Village to enact these regulations was established by the Wisconsin Legislature in §§ 61.35 and 62.23(7)(a) and (c), Wis. Stats. Under these statutes, the Village has the authority to enact this chapter, effective in the incorporated areas of the Village, to encourage the protection of groundwater resources.
This chapter, which may be cited and referred to as the "Village of Dane Wellhead Protection Ordinance," institutes land use regulations and restrictions in the Groundwater Protection Overlay District in order to protect the portion of the recharge area for the Village wells that lie within the Village limits. The recharge area for the Village wells is that land area which contributes water to the Village wells by infiltration of water into the subsurface and movement with groundwater toward the wells.
It is further intended that the Groundwater Protection Overlay District shall be operated in conjunction with the regulations governing the underlying zoning districts and other overlay districts in the subject area. Uses permitted by such other districts, but subject to the provisions of this chapter, may not be undertaken unless they are also permitted by the terms of this chapter. In the event of conflicting standards between the underlying zoning and these groundwater regulations, the more restrictive will apply. If conditional use permits are required for both this overlay district and the underlying zoning district for a proposed use, the processing of the two permits shall be treated separately under the terms applicable to each district.
The boundary of the Groundwater Protection Overlay District(s) is described in the Village's wellhead protection plan as "Wellhead Protection Area(s)", and is fully incorporated by reference into this chapter.
A saturated, permeable, geologic formation that contains, and will yield, significant quantities of water.
In addition to permitted and prohibited uses, this section identifies the requirements for getting approval of certain conditional (or provisional) uses. If an activity isn't identified as permitted or prohibited, a conditional use permit may be needed for that activity. This section identifies the requirements for getting approval for a conditional use not otherwise allowed. This section could also be called "other permitted uses."
Current facilities, practices and activities which may cause or threaten to cause environmental pollution within that portion of the Village's wellhead protection area that lies within the corporate limits of the Village which are in operation at the time of this chapter.
The area, determined by hydrologic study, where it takes water infiltrating the land surface and moving as groundwater to reach the well in five years or less.
That area described as a "Wellhead Protection Area" by the Village's wellhead protection plan.
The well that provides the source of water along with the structures built on top of and around the well.
The area described as such in the Village wellhead protection plan. It includes the surface or subsurface area surrounding a water well or wellhead supplying a public water system, which contributes water to a well by infiltration of water into the subsurface and movement with groundwater toward the well out to a five-year time of travel capture zone.
The following are permitted uses within the Groundwater Protection Overlay District provided the separation distances set forth in § 514-5 of this chapter are maintained. Uses not listed are to be considered prohibited uses.
Parks, provided there is no on-site waste disposal or fuel storage tank facilities associated with this use.
Wildlife, natural and woodland areas.
