Wisconsin Water Quality Rule Revision Approved

The Wisconsin Natural Resources Board today approved a comprehensive strategy to improve the water quality of the State’s lakes, rivers and streams. The rules proposed by the DNR address phosphorous and other nutrient pollution as well as erosion and sedimentation that degrade water quality. The rules approved by the board address both point and non-point sources of pollution, and establish a numerical water quality standards for phosphorous.

These rules also address Wisconsin law that requires the WDNR to partner with the agriculture community and provide cost-sharing dollars. Under this provision, the DNR will provide up to 70 percent to share the farmers’ costs of implementing non-point pollution controls to meet the standards.
