Groundwater Coordinating Council
August, 2008
The Honorable, The Legislature:
The Groundwater Coordinating Council (GCC) is pleased to release its 2008 Report to the Legislature. The GCC was formed in 1984 to help state agencies coordinate non-regulatory activities and exchange information on groundwater. For the past 24 years, the GCC has served as a model for interagency coordination and cooperation among state agencies, the Governor, local and federal government, and the university. It is one of the few groups in the nation to effectively coordinate groundwater activities in its state from an advisory position.
This report summarizes GCC and agency activities related to groundwater protection and management in FY 08 (July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008) and provides an overview of the condition of the groundwater resource. See the
Executive Summary for highlights and the GCC's recommendations in
Directions for Future Groundwater Protection. The full report will be made available online at
http://dnr.wi.gov/org/water/dwg/gcc/rtl/gccreport.htm.
Highlights of the State's groundwater protection activities this past year include:
• The second year of implementation of
2003 Wisconsin Act 310 - the Groundwater Quantity Law - resulted in a Groundwater Advisory Council report to the Legislature indentifying issues and making recommendations related to management of groundwater resources within Groundwater Management Areas.
•Key groundwater information and education efforts including a DATCP publication on Agricultural Chemicals in Groundwater, groundwater teacher workshops, several WRI publications highlighting the Groundwater Research and Monitoring Program and a USGS website making groundwater information available for those working on comprehensive plans.
We hope you will find this report to be a useful reference in protecting Wisconsin's valuable groundwater resource.
Sincerely,
todd ambs
Chair
Referred to committee on Environment and Natural Resources.
