Required Documents For Public Comment Period
Due to federal rules, every community that is awarded a Ready for Reuse grant or loan must go through a 30-day public comment period for the work being funded by this program. This public comment period, and a DNR-issued decision memo following the 30 days, must be completed before any remediation can begin on a grant or loan site. Contact Bob Strous (608.266.2699) with questions about this process.
The following documents need to be placed in a publically-accessible administrative record:
- Community Relations Plan [PDF]
- Analysis of Brownfield Cleanup Alternatives [PDF]
- Quality Assurance/Quality Control Equivalent [PDF]
- DRAFT Remedial Action Plan
- Any other site or project-related reports
Model Public Notice
Public notice must be given to announce the public comment period and tell people where the administrative record is located. For example, a newspaper notice should be placed in:
- a newspaper of general circulation; and
- appear in a common area of the paper (not in the legal notice section).
