Groundwater Coordinating Council
August, 1998
The Honorable, The Legislature:
This is the 1998 Groundwater Coordinating Council (GCC) Report to the Legislature. The GCC was formed in 1984 to help state agencies coordinate non-regulatory activities and exchange information on groundwater. The GCC has served as a model for interagency coordination and cooperation among state government officials, the Governor, local government and federal government. It has achieved the distinction of being one of the few groups in the nation to effectively coordinate groundwater activities in its state from an advisory position.
We hope you, your staff, and the public will find this report a useful reference in protecting Wisconsin's valuable groundwater resource.
Sincerely,
Susan L. Sylvester, Chair
Groundwater Coordinating Council
