Well construction variances application fee
Under current law, DNR regulates groundwater withdrawal. Administrative rules promulgated by DNR establish requirements for the construction of wells and provide that a person may request a variance from those rules if strict compliance with the requirements is not feasible. DNR may determine whether a variance is justified and may condition the issuance of a variance on additional construction features to safeguard groundwater.
This bill requires DNR to collect a $100 fee from a person requesting a well construction variance.
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 (5e) of the statutes is created to read:
281.34 (5e) Well construction variances. The department shall collect a fee of $100 from an owner requesting a variance from the requirements of well construction rules promulgated by the department.
