4sub. (5) or s. 281.344 (5) so that it equals 10,000,000 or more gallons per day for any
530 consecutive days over the withdrawal amount as of the beginning of the current
6permit term, the compact's effective date, or the date that the department issued a
7modified permit for the withdrawal if the modification was subject to the compact
8decision-making standard under sub. (6), whichever is latest, unless the increased
9withdrawal meets the state decision-making standard under sub. (5m) and, if the
10cumulative water loss, as determined under sub. (5) (km), averages more than
112,000,000 gallons per day in any 30-day period, the withdrawal meets the
12consumptive use decision-making standard under sub. (6m).
SB523,132,1713 (d) Providing prior notice. The department may not approve a water supply
14service area plan under s. 281.348 that provides for a withdrawal described in sub.
15(5) (L) unless the department has provided notice as required under sub. (5) (L) at
16least 90 days before approving the water supply service area plan and has provided
17a response to any comment received.
SB523,132,2118 (e) Regional review. The department may not approve a water supply service
19area plan under s. 281.348 if a majority of the members of the regional body request
20regional review of a withdrawal described in s. 281.343 (4h) (a) 6. provided for in the

SB523,132,23 22(5m) State decision-making standard. A proposal meets the state
23decision-making standard if all of the following apply:
SB523,132,2524 (a) The amount of the withdrawal or increase in the withdrawal is needed to
25meet the projected needs of the person who will use the water.
SB523,133,3
1(b) For an increase in a withdrawal, cost-effective conservation practices have
2been implemented for existing uses of the water, as required under rules
3promulgated by the department.

5cost-effectiveness and environmental effects.
SB523,133,86 (d) Cost-effective conservation practices will be implemented to ensure

SB523,133,99 (e) One of the following applies:
SB523,133,1110 1. No significant adverse environmental impacts to the waters of the state will
11result from the new or increased withdrawal.
SB523,133,1412 2. If the withdrawal is from a surface water body, the applicant demonstrates
13that the withdrawal will not result in the violation of water quality standards under
14s. 281.15 or impair fish populations.
SB523,133,1715 3. The department has issued a permit under s. 30.18 for the new or increased

1(b) The withdrawal will result in no significant adverse individual impacts or
2cumulative impacts to the quantity or quality of the waters of the Great Lakes basin,
3to water dependent natural resources, to the source watershed, or, if the withdrawal
4is from a stream tributary to one of the Great Lakes, to the watershed of that stream.
