NR 700-799 Rule Changes
The DNR works with public and industry stakeholders, state agencies, the Wisconsin State Legislature, the governor and the general public to update its administrative rules.
Ch. 292, Wis. Stat. directs certain parties to clean up contaminated sites in Wisconsin; chs. NR 700-799, Wis. Adm. Code, provide the specific steps and standards for conducting cleanup activities. The DNR is developing changes to chs. NR 700-799, Wis. Adm. Code, through the permanent rulemaking process relating to the following topics:
- Definitions, notifications, fees, agreements, reports and procedures for interim action and remedial action continuing obligations; and
- Definitions, land use classifications, procedures for identifying environmental standards for soil and soil cleanup standards.

Economic Impact Analysis
Under s. 227.137, Wis. Stats., an economic impact analysis (EIA) must be prepared for every permanent proposed rule. The analysis must include information on the economic effect of the proposed rule on specific businesses, business sectors, public utility ratepayers, local governmental units and the state's economy as a whole.
Rule Advisory Committee
The DNR asked stakeholders to advise DNR staff during development of the proposed rules. The Rule Advisory Committee will begin advising the DNR on rule development at open public meetings beginning in Winter 2024. All Rule Advisory Committee meetings are open to the public.
