I am writing to provide an update on the audit which was specified in
1993 Wisconsin Act 16 Section
9142 (3x). Under this section, this Department was to provide an audit report of the pilot project to control wind erosion and provide landowner compensation as specified under Section
92.103 Wis. Stats. This Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection project was to end by June 30, 1994 and the audit report submitted by January 1, 1995. As the pilot project was subsequently extended statutorily until June 30, 1995, it is premature to audit this project. Instead it seems appropriate that this letter serve as an interim status report and that an audit as specified in Section 9142 (3x) be conducted following the pilot completion. The report would then be submitted by January 1, 1996. I trust that this will be satisfactory. Thank you.
