Natural Resources
(CR 02-095)
An order affecting ch. NR 140, relating to groundwater quality standards. Effective 12-1-06.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The Department does not believe that the proposed rule will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses. The compliance and reporting requirements in ch. NR 140 are not changed by the proposed amendments. If a groundwater quality standard is exceeded, the owner or operator of a facility, practice or activity, including any small business, must report the violation to the appropriate regulatory agency. There is one new substance for which a facility may have to monitor and report exceedances and 3 existing substances with revised standards.
Summary of Comments by Legislative Review Committees
The rule was originally adopted by the Natural Resources Board on September 28, 2005. That rule included two new substances, Alachlor-ESA (ethane sulfonic acid) and molybdenum. The rule was referred to the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Transportation and the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources. The Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Transportation held a public hearing on December 1, 2005 and did not request any modifications. The Assembly Committee on Natural Resources held a public hearing on November 16, 2005 and passed a motion requesting the Department to eliminate the proposed groundwater quality standard for Alachlor-ESA, and to request DNR to commence a scientific review panel to review the proposed groundwater standard for Alachlor-ESA, if Monsanto agreed to pay the full cost of the scientific review panel.
The Department consulted with the Department of Health and Family Services regarding the need for a scientific review of the groundwater quality standard developed for Alachlor-ESA. DHFS did not believe that an external review of the proposed Alachlor-ESA groundwater quality standard was necessary. At its June 28, 2006 meeting, the Natural Resources Board declined to make the proposed modification or to pursue an additional review of the proposed standard.
On July 20, 2006, the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources objected to the portion of Clearinghouse Rule No. 02-095 as it related to Alachlor-ESA. On August 10, 2006, the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules held a public hearing. On August 22, 2006, the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules met in executive session and adopted a motion requesting the Department to eliminate the proposed groundwater quality standard for Alachlor ESA and requested the DNR to commence an external, independent, and unbiased scientific peer review of the proposed standard for Alachlor ESA, if the Monsanto Corporation agreed to pay the full cost of the scientific peer review.
On September 5, 2006, the Natural Resources Board again declined to initiate a peer review paid for by the Monsanto Corporation. The Natural Resources Board voted to return Clearinghouse Rule No. 02-095 with the standard for Alachlor-ESA intact. If the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules allowed that standard to move forward, the Board would then direct the Department to conduct and implement a structured peer review, without any controlling influence by any outside party.
On September 6, 2006, the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules concluded that that the Department had not complied with the Committee's modification request and objected to all portions of Clearinghouse Rule 02-095 that pertained to Alachlor and Alachlor-ESA.

(CR 05-105)

These include northern Wisconsin communities, developers, waterfront property owners and others who manage shoreland property, existing point source dischargers with a WPDES permit and future point sources seeking a WPDES permit.
Summary of Comments by Legislative Review Committees

Natural Resources
(CR 05-116)
An order affecting chs. NR 439, 460 and 484, relating to natural emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for industrial, commercial and institutional boilers and process heaters. Effective 12-1-06.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The proposed rule will have not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses. This is primarily because the proposed rule is identical to the existing federal rule, with which all affected sources are already required to comply.
Summary of Comments by Legislative Review Committees
The rules were reviewed by the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Transportation and the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources. The Assembly Committee on Natural Resources held a public hearing on July 20, 2006. No comments were received by the Department as a result of the hearing.
Natural Resources
(CR 06-024)
An order affecting chs. NR 135 and 340, relating to the reclamation of nonmetallic mining sites. Effective 12-1-06.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The existing rule contains several provisions designed to help small businesses that are not affected by these proposed revisions The proposed revisions provide less stringent requirements and reduce the burden in complying with fees and annual reports. The revisions do this by consolidating the compliance and reporting requirements through synchronization of the due dates for fees and reports as opposed to the current procedures which have two separate due dates. In the current rule, fees are paid in advance and reports are based on the previous year. The revision simplifies the situation by requiring that fee submittal and annual reporting are for the same calendar year. The proposed revisions to ch. NR 340 change program requirements for financial assurance. In those cases where operators are regulated by ch. NR 340, there will be more financial assurance options available to the operator.
Summary of Comments by Legislative Review Committees
The proposed rule was reviewed by the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Transportation and the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources. On September 14, 2006, the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources held a public hearing on the proposed rule. No comments were received by the Department.
Natural Resources
(CR 06-065)

This rule is designed to prevent and limit the spread of invasive forest pests and diseases which pose a grave threat to Wisconsin forest and urban landscapes. This rule will help protect Wisconsin industries associated with tourism and forest products by protecting the resources on which they depend. The department and the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection are working to minimize the impacts on small businesses.
Summary of Comments by Legislative Review Committees
