The types of actions taken in storm water pond construction normally do not involve significant adverse environmental effects, and the Department of Natural Resources has made a preliminary determination that no further environmental analysis is needed before proceeding with funding these projects.
The department is soliciting public comments regarding this decision and potential impacts of these projects.
Written or verbal comments are encouraged. Provide comments to Dan Olson, Bureau of Community Financial Assistance, Department of Natural Resources, Box 7921, Madison, Wisconsin 53707, (608) 267-7475 by November 9, 2009.
Based on the comments received, the department may prepare an environmental analysis before proceeding with the funding process. The analysis would summarize the Department’s consideration of the impacts of the project and reasonable alternatives.
