Geotechnical – minimum of 5 soil borings (for 20-acre site); no presence of sink holes or limestone caves; suitable water content / water table depth

• Completed December 2009: ~10 borings within the 130 acres; specifically along the proposed road through the middle of the site, north to south

Archaeological/historical – no known archaeological/historical impediments to immediate industrial development

• Completed May 2010 – determined that there are no previously recorded archaeological sites or historic properties within or adjacent to the project area
• Click here to download the archaeological report

Endangered species – no known impediments to immediate industrial development related to endangered species

• Completed September 2012 – No actions required for site development

Fire protection

• Fire Insurance Classification Rating
• Distance to the nearest servicing fire department

• Class 4, will be upgraded to Class 3 upon fire engine upgrade
• Station in Verona, ~4 minute response time

Industrial zoning (or equivalent) currently in place, or zoning change procedure underway as of field investigation

• Total 130 acres are zoned Suburban Industrial
• Zoning allows for all typical light industrial uses (food processing, light chemical such as pharma, etc.)
• Conditional use for entertainment: Proposed full-service hotel in SW corner of site near entrance along Hwy 151

Surrounding area zoning – zoning of surrounding properties compatible with industrial development of site

• Comprehensive Plan of area (if applicable)
• Zoning map of area including site (if applicable)
• Existing/planned zoning of surrounding land
• Codes, Covenants, and Restrictions on site and surrounding sites, as applicable

• Currently agriculture, no residential

Proximate electric power infrastructure availability and capacities

• Utility maps indicating location and current size/capacity of proximate transmission lines, distribution lines, and substations; available capacity that could be provided to the site for each of the above

• Alliant Energy provides electric power; responsible for distribution assets only
• Verona Substation directly adjacent to the site, across Hwy 151; served by a 138kV ATC transmission line from the Sunrise Substation and a 69kV transmission line from the Mount Horeb Substation
• The site is currently served by a 24.9Kv underground, looped distribution line running along southern boundary of the site from Verona Substation
• 33 MVA Transformer at Verona served by 138kV transmission
• 25 MVA Transformer at Verona served by 69kV from Mount Horeb
• Verona Substation is currently loaded at 50% capacity and rated 99.6% reliability

Detailed description of dual feed potential (current or proposed redundant service)

• Overview (and map) illustrating dual feed electric service routes, including location, size and capacity of each node of delivery (substation, distribution line, etc.)

• Verona Substation is currently under plans to be rebuilt in 2016: the substation currently provides distribution at 24.9kV and 12.7kV, but improvements will result in all distribution at 24.9kV
• Alliant could reportedly serve a 5MW-8MW load at the site over existing 24.9kV line across the south of the site (secondary distribution feed from Verona substation could come from the north, over Hwy 151 and Whalen Rd.)

Introduction of any proposed improvements to/extensions of electric service to the site

• Cost, timing and funding responsibility of any improvements required to provide proposed service to the site

• A true dual feed from two substations would be costly because the secondary substation (Crosscountry) is across town on the far side of Verona ($150k per mile for extension to site, just for installing the lines)
• Alliant has an economic development rider that can fund extensions at economical rates

Proximate natural gas infrastructure availability and capacities

• Utility maps indicating location and current size/capacity of proximate transmission lines, distribution lines, delivery points, etc; available capacity that could be provided to the site for each of the above

• 6” main running along Whalen Rd. (northern site boundary) with available pressure of 60 psi; capacity is approximately 100 MCF/hr and could be increased
• Gate station and regional pipeline 3.5. miles away

Introduction of any proposed improvements to/extensions of natural gas service to the site

• A large user could reportedly take service directly from the 400 psi main
• Credits would fund service extension to the site

Proximate water and wastewater infrastructure availability and capacities

• Water: water mains consist of two feeder systems coming into Liberty Park: one from north on Whalen Rd. (12” high pressure main, looped to 8”, will run along Liberty Dr.) and one from south from Thousand Oaks Trail
• City owns four 1,200 ft. wells; 5,500 GPM pumping capacity; 1.1 million gallons of elevated storage capacity; 300 mg/liter water hardness
• All towers are interconnected with wells and other towers by booster stations
• Wastewater: Madison Metropolitan Sewage District; Verona owns one sanitary pump station near Epic’s campus; all other sanitary lines in Verona are gravity
• Madison Metropolitan pump station 17 is ~2 miles from the site; all Verona sewage is pumped via force main to Madison treatment plant pump station 17

Introduction of any proposed improvements to/extensions of water and/or wastewater service to the site

• Current city budget calls for upgrading Verona East side interceptor which connects the 12” main serving the site to pump station 17
