About The Switchboard

A new version of the Switchboard has been released (August 2009). See this notice for more information

The Department of Natural Resources' central electronic Switchboard is designed to help representatives of environmentally regulated facilities access electronic environmental business tools, such as reporting systems, forms, and other interactive options. The "Current Electronic Business Tools" link on the left sidebar lists these options.

The Switchboard is a secure web-based application that uses standard desktop web browsers. The Switchboard allows a person with environmental involvement to review and update their profile information, including their name and contact information and the same information for facilities they represent. It shows the listing of any business licenses or certifications that the person holds, and it connects users to electronic business options across our program - without having to log in for each. These tools may also be available directly without going through the Switchboard.

The information displayed in the Switchboard comes from a database called the Environmental Site Register. The ESR integrates facility and contact information from the environmental program databases to meet cross-program needs, such as the Environmental Fees program.

As the Department continues to develop electronic solutions for environmental business needs they will be hooked into the Switchboard.

The Electronic Business Partnership document defines the parameters of our partnership. The Partnership document is part of the Registration process.

How To Get Started

The Switchboard has been designed to help people navigate to electronic destinations within the DNR without having to re-log in for each destination. People must log in initially, however, so that only the information for that person is available. To provide this tailored service, the Switchboard requires a Wisconsin User ID through the State’s Web Access Management System. Getting a Wisconsin User ID is the first step for the Switchboard. The Switchboard Registration link on the left side of this page provides the details. If you have already done some electronic business with us, for example if you've used the EDMR or ECMAR systems, you're all set up and can go directly to Log In To The Switchboard (link on left). If you need access to a new system or systems use the Switchboard Registration link but skip the first step since you already have a User ID.

Please read over the instructions for using the switchboard so you understand what the Switchboard is before getting started.

Wisconsin User ID's

If you haven't conducted electronic business with DNR, you will need to complete the Switchboard Registration process.

If you have conducted electronic business with DNR before this, the Switchboard will already have been set up for you and you can proceed. You may want to review our electronic business tools to ensure that you're connected to all available tools. Use the second step of the Switchboard Registration process to add appropriate tool or tools to your list
