Notice of Public Informational Hearing for Wetland
Disturbance
Tyler Field, Waste Management, has applied to the Department of Natural Resources for a permit
to fill wetlands. The project is located in the northern half of Section 31, Township 05, Range 21
E, City of Franklin, Milwaukee County.
Waste Management of Wisconsin (WMWI) owns and operates the Northern Expansion – West
(NEW) landfill at the Metro Recycling and Disposal Facility (Metro RDF) complex. The facility
currently receives commercial, industrial, municipal, and permitted special waste from major
municipalities and industries in the area. The majority of the waste that is disposed of at NEW
originates from the following counties in Wisconsin: Milwaukee, Waukesha, and Racine. WMWI
is proposing the Oakwood Expansion to the existing NEW. The proposed Oakwood Expansion is
a horizontal and vertical expansion of the NEW, with the horizontal expansion area covering an
additional approximately 72.25 acres of land. Eleven wetlands will be directly impacted by the
proposed expansion, totaling approximately 7.66 acres of permanent wetland fill.
The Department will review the proposal provided by the applicant and any information from
public comments and the public informational hearing. The Department will determine whether
the proposal complies with ss. 1.11, and 281.36, Wis. Stats., and chs. NR 150 and 103, Wis.
Adm. Code, and ensure that any required mitigation meets the standards in s. 281.36(3r), Wis.
Stats.
The Department has made a tentative determination that it will deny the permit for the proposed
activity.

qualified individuals with disabilities upon request.
The public hearing is scheduled for Tuesday August 25th, 2026, at 6 PM at the Franklin City
Hall (9229 W Loomis Rd, Franklin, WI 53132).
The Department scheduled a public hearing on this application because the Department received
