Waste Sites are sites that are located on the same property as a landfill licensed under Wis. Admin. Code NR500 or on a known historic waste site never issued a license by the DNR. Prior to constructing or reconstructing a water supply well, you need to contact DNR for approval of well construction specifications. You may also need approval to build or excavate. Please see the documentation below or contact the DNR Project Manager or DNR File Contact listed at the bottom of this page.

This Activity is part of the MILWAUKEE ESTUARY AOC Great Lakes Area of Concern (AOC), one of the geographically-defined rivers and harbor sites in Wisconsin that has suffered the greatest consequences due to pollution and habitat degradation. The goal of the AOC program is to clean up and restore these areas so that they are comparable to similar areas on the Great Lakes. The DNR's Office of Great Waters provides leadership for cleaning up these areas.

Records related to the site are documents that were available at the time the scanned paper or electronic file was uploaded.
