Full Description

This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of the Wisconsin Groundwater Advisory Committee's 2007 Report to the Legislature that identified two areas as "groundwater management areas". Radium contamination in both areas is presented, along with the typical southeastern Wisconsin hydrogeology. The Southeastern Wisconsin Regional PlanningCommission (SEWRPC) efforts recognizestate law alternative reviews:one - use existinglimits on lake wateruse; two/three -expand lake waterservice based uponproposed law; and, four - expand lakewater service area with return flow. Moving forward - currentwater status: sub-regional review completed; socio-economic study beginning; plan approval probably will go to state as state-of-the-art regulation and receivelegislative approval for SEWRPC oversight; and,local plans will implement with SEWRPC approval.
