Dry Cleaning Environmental Response Program
(s. 292.65 Wis. Stats. (and ch. NR 169, Wis. Admin. Co )
This grant program is currently closed to new applicants. Reimbursements for projects previously accepted into Dry Cleaner Environmental Response Program (DERP) will continue through June 30, 2032.
Owners and operators (as defined in s. 292.65, Wis. Stats.) can be partially reimbursed for costs associated with site investigation and remediation of site-specific dry cleaning product releases. For information on eligible/ineligible activities for funding, please refer to the reimbursement fact sheet. In order for costs to be eligible for reimbursement, applicants must have complied with all applicable statues and codes. The maximum reimbursement is $500,000 per facility.
Priority is given to projects that are threats to municipal wells or other water sources and urgent spill projects. The DNR project manager will assign a risk evaluation to each project based on the amount of material spilled and the level of threat.
Applications for reimbursing site investigation costs may be submitted when the consultant's site investigation report and remedial action options report are submitted to and approved by the DNR. During remediation, two applications for reimbursement will be accepted per fiscal year. Applications must be submitted within 120 days of completing the response activity.
This grant is jointly administered with the bureau of Remediation and Redevelopment. If you have technical questions about your specific dry cleaning project, please contact your regional Remediation & Redevelopment project manager.
