RE: R
esolution 5 of 2026:
Approval of changes to the City of Plymouth Functional Classification System
Background: In April of 2024, updated limits of the City of Plymouth Urban Area Boundary (UAB)
w
ere approved by Common Council. The UAB is important for allocations of State and Federal
funds.
The Wisconsin Department
of Transportation (WisDOT) has now completed a review of roadway
functional classifications within the UAB. Functional classification identifies how each roadway is
intended to
operate within the transportation network—balancing mobility, access, and connectivity.
Each roadway is put into one of the following categories: Principal Arterial, Minor Arterial, Collector,
or
Local Road.
Updates to roadway classifications are necessary to ensure the network accurately reflects current
conditions
and future planning needs. Changes are primarily driven by:
• Land use development and redevelopment
• Traffic volume and travel demand changes
• Network connectivity improvements
• Consistency with regional and state planning efforts
Mai
ntaining accurate functional classifications is important because they influence roadway design
expectations, access management, maintenance priorities, and the City’s eligibility for certain state
and federal transportation funding programs.
Wi
sDOT is requesting 11 changes within the City of Plymouth’s UAB. See attached map.
Sta

Re: Proposal for Engineering Services
Plymouth Utilities Well 18
Dear Aaron:
We understand that Kapur is assisting Plymouth Utilities with development of Well 18, to be located at
the southeast quadrant of the STH 57 and CTH P intersection. Kapur will provide survey, civil site
development and water main and sanitary sewer service development for the project. Donohue and
Associates, Inc. will provide services as described below, generally consisting of well investigation and
development, process, structural, electrical, controls, and HVAC/plumbing design.
The target well location is a parcel located in the west half of Section 36, Township 15 North, Range 21
East and shown on the map below. The study area will generally be a 1-mile radius of the study site
boundaries. Desired capacity for this municipal well is 500 gpm or greater.

Phase 1 – Reconnaissance
Task 105 – Project Oversight & Kickoff Meeting
1. Provide day-to-day project management, including monitoring scope, schedule, and budget.
2. Maintain ongoing communication with Kapur through the Project Manager and Client Advocate.
3. Prepare and submit monthly invoices and progress updates.
4. Conduct a kickoff meeting to confirm project objectives, stakeholders, communication
protocols, schedule, deliverables, and Owner preferences related to site configuration and
milestones.
Task 110 – Records Review and Assessment
A 1991 geological reconnaissance study identified fracture trace locations but additional study is needed
to more accurately locate the true fracture zones that may aid in siting a well to draw water from the
dolomite bedrock. For example, electromagnetic induction survey is used to screen for potential
dolomite municipal well sites by inferring the type of geological materials present from the relationship
of electrical conductivity to subsurface material saturation; fracture zones in the dolomite bedrock are
expected to measure higher electrical conductivity than unfractured bedrock. This type of survey can be
impacted by cultural influences (power lines, buildings, fence lines) or unconsolidated material overlying
the bedrock formation.
Application of the fracture trace analysis combined with other investigations that included
electromagnetic induction study and geothermal survey was used to site Test Well 17. However at the
Well 17 location the majority of water production was from a highly fractured zone at the bedrock
surface that would have required a special variance from the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources. Ultimately, use of the bedrock aquifer was abandoned in favor of developing a well in the
sand and gravel formation above the bedrock.
Mapping tools, including the use of LiDAR, have evolved since the 1991 geological reconnaissance study
was performed. Additional wells have been constructed in the study area. This task will assess existing
data to provide an informed recommendation for subsurface investigation of the study site. Donohue
will partner with Pat Jurcek of Intera for this task.
1. Provide a Request for Information that will include historic and existing well investigation and
production data such as most recent WDNR Sanitary Survey, 1991 geological reconnaissance
study that identified fracture trace locations, previous well siting investigations conducted by
Plymouth Utilities, and current well yields and operation and maintenance data.
2. Locate existing private wells in the study area based on existing well construction and property
records. Compile well data that includes formations encountered, depth to bedrock, and well
yield and map well locations.
3. Compile existing geological and hydrogeological information for the study area.
4. Review potential contamination sources within one-half mile of the study area:
a. Include information from WDNR database of contaminated properties, Wisconsin
Department of Safety and Professional Services (WDWPS) Storage Tank Database,
Sheboygan County records and Kapur and City of Plymouth knowledge and records;
b. Summarize data in a table or list that shows distance and direction from the well site;
c. Show potential contaminant sources on a map surrounding the well site.
d. Assess the potential for the contamination source(s) to impact a new well constructed
within the study area.
Mr. Aaron Groh
Page 3 | February 19, 2026
5. Assess presence of groundwater protection area as defined in s. 281.34 (1) (am), Stats.
(outstanding or exceptional resource water or trout stream), and potential for production well
to result in significant adverse impacts to springs as defined in s. 281.34 (1) (f), Stats.
6. Prepare a Technical Memorandum summarizing the records review and providing
recommendation for use of Subsurface Investigation Allowance described below.
Task 115 – Subsurface Investigation
Subsurface investigation for well siting can take various forms, from electrical resistivity imaging or
tomography to small diameter borings or monitoring wells constructed to assess geologic formations
