    • Information about ORW/ERW Waters

      The Water Evaluation Section lists present the Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) and Exceptional Resource Waters (ERW) in easy-to-use alphabetic and county lists. These lists include those segments currently listed in NR 102 (some may have minor editorial changes), as well as detailing the Class I trout waters listed in Wisconsin Trout Streams publication 6-3600 (80)" as referenced in the Administrative Code. These lists can be used as an alternative to Administrative Code to determine whether a waterbody is considered ORW or ERW.
    • Information regarding Wisconsin's Drinking Water Issues

      • Drinking Water and Groundwater Bureau

        This site lists contacts and links for information regarding contamination in public and private drinking water supplies.

      • Here are two useful maps showing drinking water wells which exceed Enforcement Standards (ES) and Preventative Action Limits (PAL) for nitrates and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). These maps may be useful in helping to answer "Water Quality" questions on the Runoff Management Grant Applications:

        a. Nitrates
        b. Volatile Organic Compounds

      • Solid Waste Bureau - Groundwater Monitoring

        Presents an additional source of data of chemical contamination of water wells (mostly of monitoring wells, and some private drinking wells and surface water data) surrounding waste management sites (landfills, etc.).
