Madison Landfills v. Libby Landfill, 188 Wis. 2d 613, 524 N.W.2d 833 (Ct. App. 1993). 289.33 AnnotationOnly local approvals that arbitrarily or discriminatorily obstruct the establishment of a waste facility may be set aside by an arbitration award under s. 144.445 [now s. 289.33]. Madison Landfills v. Libby Landfill, 188 Wis. 2d 613, 524 N.W.2d 833 (Ct. App. 1993). 289.33 AnnotationLocal approvals, as defined in sub. (3) (d), required to construct a low-hazard “clean fill” facility are preempted by s. 289.43 (8) and no longer required for exempt facilities, as settled by DeRosso, 200 Wis. 2d 642, which remains authoritative and unmodified. Because zoning requirements are expressly listed in sub. (3) (d) as local approvals, a “clean fill” facility is exempt from any zoning requirements. However, the definition of “local approval” in sub. (3) (d) indicates it is not limited to enumerated statutes and fairly included the village’s preconstruction storm water and erosion permitting requirements at issue in this case. Scenic Pit LLC v.
