What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill allows a metropolitan sewerage commission for a sewerage district including a first class city (currently only the city of Milwaukee) to finance and construct a dredged material management facility for the Milwaukee Estuary Area of Concern at a location in the city of Milwaukee.
The Milwaukee Estuary is one of the “Areas of Concern” across the Great Lakes identified under the 1987 Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. The Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement is an agreement between the United States and Canada to restore and protect the waters of the Great Lakes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency coordinates U.S. activities under this agreement. The Water Quality Agreement defines an “area of concern” as “a geographic area designated by the Parties where significant impairment of beneficial uses has occurred as a result of human activities at the local level."

Current law allows a metropolitan sewerage commission for a sewerage district including a first class city to participate in certain shore protection projects, but the provision does not apply to any project after January 1, 1992. The bill would modify certain current law requirements, including the date restriction, to specifically allow the metropolitan sewerage commission to construct projects, including a dredged material management facility project, before January 1, 2032. Under the bill, the commission must pay for all the costs of the dredged material management facility project through its capital budget and may finance the project by issuance of bonds or notes that must be made payable within 35 years. The bill also provides that the commission may reserve space in the dredged material management facility for the disposal of sediment from flood management projects. The bill is contingent upon the commission adopting a resolution by the end of calendar year 2021 that establishes a requirement that through 2028, the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District's capital budget levy increases will be at or below a six-year rolling average of three percent.
