This is a preliminary public hearing on Statement of Scope SS 070-26 (DNR DG-01-26), which affects chapter NR 140 to set numeric standards to minimize the concentration of pesticide substances in groundwater (Cycle 13). The proposed rule will amend add public health-based groundwater standards for several pesticide substances that have been detected or have a reasonable probability of being detected in Wisconsin groundwater. The proposed groundwater standards will be based on the Wisconsin Department of Health Services’ recommendations. Setting standards will allow for consistent use in state regulatory programs to minimize the concentration of these polluting substances in the groundwater resources of the state.
To view the hearing notice and draft Scope Statement, view DG-01-26 on the DNR's Proposed Permanent Administrative Rules webpage.
