Detailed information:

Every three years, the DNR reviews Wisconsin's surface water quality standards as required by the Clean Water Act, to determine which standards need to be developed or revised. The DNR uses the Triennial Standards Review process to prioritize which of these topics the DNR plans to work on over the next three years. The review process provides the public an opportunity to provide input on how the DNR should focus its available resources to ensure the health of Wisconsin lakes, rivers and streams.

At this meeting, the DNR will provide an overview of the topics to be considered and an invitation to complete an online topic ranking form, and will also take comments on which topics the public feel should be priorities. The comment period will be open from November 16 through December 4, 2020.

A link to the virtual hearing (via Zoom) is available in the hearing notice.
