What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under this bill, the laws under which the Department of Natural Resources currently regulates metallic mining, other than iron mining, apply to mining for iron and to mining for nonferrous minerals.
Under current law, DNR regulates mining for metallic minerals. Prior to the enactment of 2013 Wisconsin Act 1 , the laws under which DNR regulated metallic mining applied to mining for ferrous and nonferrous minerals.
Read the full summary Show less
2013 Wisconsin Act 1 created new laws for regulating iron mining and modified the laws regulating metallic mining so that they applied to mining for nonferrous minerals only. This bill changes the laws relating to the regulation of iron mining so that the laws are substantially the same as they existed before enactment of 2013 Wisconsin Act 1 .
Under current law, certain forested land may be designated as managed forest land (MFL) under a program administered by DNR. Under this program, the owner of land designated as MFL makes an annual acreage share payment in lieu of property taxes. In exchange, the landowner must have a management plan prepared for the land and must open the MFL to the public for certain recreational activities.
The landowner may designate a portion of the land as closed to public access and make an additional payment per acre.
2013 Wisconsin Act 81 generally provided that the requirements with regard to public access to MFL do not apply to an area of land within a certain distance of a proposed iron mining site.
2013 Wisconsin Act 81 also required an MFL owner to make an additional payment per acre for land located in a proposed ferrous mining site if the land is not open to all of the activities for which public access is generally required. This bill changes the laws with respect to ferrous mining sites located on MFL so that the laws are substantially the same as they existed before enactment of 2013 Wisconsin Act 81 .
