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.
