Phase 2: Revise or develop each selected water quality standard or guidance

Each selected topic is assigned a project lead who develops a projected timeline for revision or development of the standard or guidance. Each project proceeds independently of the others, on its own timeframe. A Microsoft Project template is available for project leads to customize for each of their TSR projects. This timeline information is also available as an Action Table in Microsoft Word.

At the start of a new triennial cycle, projects that are already underway (Group A) continue uninterrupted during the Phase 1 process and beyond. After Phase 1 ranking is completed, the first round of newly selected projects (Groups B & C) begins in July of the first year of the triennium, or when resources become available to address them.

The rulemaking process follows standard WDNR protocols, and is also detailed in the following document:
