Well construction notification fee
Under current law, no person may construct a high capacity well, which is a well with a capacity of more than 100,000 gallons per day, without prior approval of DNR and payment of a $500 fee. Prior to construction of a well that is not a high-capacity well, the owner of the property where the well is to be constructed must notify DNR and pay a fee of $50. This bill increases the notification fee to $70.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section
1. 281.34 (3) (a) of the statutes is amended to read:
281.34 (3) (a) An owner shall notify the department of the location of a well that is not a high capacity well before construction of the well begins. An owner notifying the department under this subsection shall pay a fee of $50 $70.
(End)
