The proposed rule changes and guidance will not have an adverse effect on small businesses. The development of mitigation and mitigation banking, similar to that which is presently required under federal law, has the potential to increase project costs for all permit applicants and the department.
Summary of Comments by Legislative Review Committees:
The proposed rule was reviewed by the Assembly Natural Resources Committee and the Senate Agriculture and Environmental Resources Committee. On December 10, 1997, the Assembly Committee held a public hearing in Stevens Point. The primary discussion at the hearing was the impact of cranberry production on cold water streams in light of the changes proposed in the rule. In executive session on December 17, the Committee voted to return the rule to the department for modification.
No modifications to the rule were adopted by the Natural Resources Board. However, the department will be forming a partnership with representatives of Trout Unlimited, the cranberry industry, the drainage district, DATCP and other residents to work together on managing the issues that have been identified. The Department views the proposed revisions as procedural in nature and not fundamental changes in how wetlands are protected. The Committees concurred with the Department's position.

Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
In general, the revisions to the hazardous waste code will not result in substantial changes to the types of small businesses affected by the current hazardous waste rules. However, the new universal wastes chapter (NR 690) will assist small businesses in managing small quantities of certain ubiquitous hazardous wastes. The rule affects batteries, recalled pesticides and other unused pesticides and thermostats. It is written to allow for the incorporation of further waste streams. The rule should have the effect of assisting small businesses in managing these wastes by adopting streamlined requirements for their management and handling, and to encourage recycling of them.
