Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) administers programs relating to air quality, water quality, water supply, wastewater, recycling, solid and hazardous waste, mining, environmental cleanups, wetlands, shoreland zoning, navigable waters (including dams and piers), state parks and other recreational properties, forestry, the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway, wildlife (including hunting, fishing, and trapping), endangered resources, boats, snowmobiles, and all-terrain vehicles. DNR also administers the stewardship program, under which the state is authorized to bond for various conservation purposes. DNR is governed by a seven-member board and has a secretary who is nominated by the governor, and with the advice and consent of the senate appointed.

This bill creates a Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and transfers some of DNR's responsibilities to DEQ effective July 1, 2011. DEQ is governed by a secretary who is nominated by the governor, and with the advice and consent of the senate appointed. There is no board for DEQ. Under the bill, the Natural Resources Board appoints the secretary of natural resources. The bill also requires that at least one member of the Natural Resources Board have an agricultural background and that at least three members of the Natural Resources Board have held an annual hunting, trapping, or fishing license in at least seven of the ten years before their appointment, except that the number of years in which an individual must have held a license is reduced by the number of years that the individual served on active duty in the U.S. armed forces or national guard during that ten-year period.

Under the bill, DEQ administers programs relating to air quality, water quality, water supply, wastewater, recycling, solid and hazardous waste, mining, environmental cleanups, wetlands, shoreland zoning, and navigable waters (including dams and piers). DNR continues to administer programs relating to state parks and other recreational properties, the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway, wildlife (including hunting, fishing, and trapping), endangered resources, boats, snowmobiles, and all-terrain vehicles.

This bill also transfers the responsibility to administer programs related to forestry from DNR to the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. DNR retains the responsibility of determining public access on land in state forests and on land subject to the managed forest land program.

For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
