MMSD dredged material management facility
This bill allows a metropolitan sewerage commission for a sewerage district including a first class city (currently only the city of Milwaukee) to finance and construct a dredged material management facility.
Current law allows a metropolitan sewerage commission for a sewerage district including a first class city to participate in certain shore protection projects, but the provision does not apply to any project after January 1, 1992. The bill would modify certain current law requirements, including the date restriction, to specifically allow the metropolitan sewerage commission to construct projects, including a dredged material management facility project, before January 1, 2032. Under the bill, the metropolitan sewerage commission must pay for all costs of the project through its capital budget and finance the project over a period of 35 years. The bill also provides that the commission may reserve space in the dredged material management facility for the disposal of sediment from flood management projects.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
