Alma

While these are not all of the retired sites from Dairyland's history, below are cards with more information about some of the recent retirements.

In 2017, Dairyland’s Generation Engineering group oversaw the permanent removal of smaller outbuildings and conveyors, as well as the removal of underground coal tunnels, sealing of the cooling water intake structure and the removal of regulated materials. The last remaining section of Dairyland’s main Alma Station building was brought down on Oct. 17, 2017.

The John P. Madgett Station (JPM) is south of the former Alma Station site, along the Mississippi River in Alma, Wis. JPM was built in the late 1970s at a cost of $179 million.
