What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under this bill, an activity affecting a wetland in Brown County is considered
to be in compliance with the water quality standards applicable to wetlands and
exempts the activity from other laws administered by DNR that relate to water
quality and navigable waters if the activity meets certain criteria. These criteria
include that the wetland area to be affected must be less than three acres in size, that
the site of the activity is in a tax incremental district, and that the person engaged
in the activity will complete mitigation at a ratio of at least 1.5 acres of wetlands
created or mitigation bank credits purchased to one acre of wetland affected
depending on whether the wetland is a federal or nonfederal wetland.
