The Wisconsin DNR is poised to make revisions to its regulations to reduce polluted runoff, and is now seeking citizen input through a series of public hearings around the State. The revisions would affect sources of agricultural runoff – the largest source of water pollution in Wisconsin – as well as municipal stormwater and construction site erosion prevention. The revisions are a step in the right direction, but DNR should strengthen the requirements and make a lasting and effective reduction in runoff pollution. Make yourself heard! Attending one of the public hearings on NR 151 to express your support for clean water and to urge further strengthening of the runoff standards. |
