The Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA), in partnership with the DNR, is undertaking an evaluation of regulatory requirements associated with phosphorus surface water quality standards and economic impacts of the standards to municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facilities and the communities that rely upon them.
The evaluation is required under state statute prior to seeking an extension of the phosphorus multi-discharger variance (MDV) beyond the current term of approval (2017 – 2027). More information about the evaluation, including an informational document download, is available at https://doa.wi.gov/Pages/
At the listening sessions, DOA & DNR staff will provide a short presentation of currently available information regarding the MDV. Water quality stakeholders and members of the public are encouraged to provide verbal comments at the meetings.
