Dodge County Landspreading Pilot Project - Hydrology Datalayer Setbacks

Source: Wisconsin DNR South Central Region Wastewater Program

Date: Last Updated 5/08

The Bureau of Watershed Management and the South Central Region Wastewater Program set up this pilot project in March 2006 to support obtaining more accurate and consistent data for landspreading permits and management plans. This project involves setting up several new GIS datalayers (see below) in the Surface Water Data Viewer to evaluate its usefulness to permittees and DNR for more accurately delineating land spreading sites for sludge, industrial waste and Septage to help reduce over or inappropriate application and to help comply with setbacks, etc.

Dodge County waterbodies and three levels of setbacks are shown in the viewer when the user clicks on the box to the left of the indicated setback. The box will remain 'grey' until the user navigates close enough into the map to be able to turn "on" the appropriate datalayer. When the datalayer is turned on, the user can click on the "identify” button, (see right) and then click on the screen, to receive the following info:

Hydrology Buffers:

Waterbodies are displayed with “buffers” or setbacks at three distances corresponding to regulatory requirements associated with different materials to be land applied. These distances include 50 ft, 100 ft. and 200ft.

1:24,000-Scale Hydrography

In December of 2005, the DNR released version 5 of the statewide Hydrography geographic data layer, derived from 1:24,000-scale sources. This DNR corporate data layer plays a major role in integrating various DNR databases containing information about features located in, along, and around waterbodies.
