Waupaca County board adopts county Land & Water Resource Management Plan
Summary
The Waupaca County Board unanimously adopted a new Land & Water Resource Management Plan (Resolution No. 21) on Aug. 17, 2021; the plan, required by Wis. Act 27 and Wis. Stat. §92.10, succeeds earlier county plans and takes effect after approval by the Wisconsin Land and Water Conservation Board.
The Waupaca County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 21 (2021-2022) on Aug. 17, 2021, approving the county's Land & Water Resource Management (LWRM) Plan. Chair Koeppen called the session to order and, after introduction, Supervisor James Nygaard moved adoption; Supervisor Fred Zaug seconded and the motion carried 27-0.
The resolution notes state statutory authority (Wisconsin Act 27 and Wisconsin Statute 92.10) requiring counties to prepare a plan that assesses water quality and soil erosion, sets watershed-specific water-quality objectives, identifies best-management practices, and lists applicable agricultural performance standards and prohibitions to control nonpoint-source pollution. The board record states the plan succeeds the 1999, 2006 and 2012 Waupaca County plans and "integrates all of the programs currently being administered by the Waupaca County Land and Water Conservation Department." The required public hearing was held July 19, 2021.
The resolution directs that implementation of the plan shall commence upon approval by the Wisconsin Land and Water Conservation Board. The transcript records the unanimous vote (27-0) to adopt the resolution; the county clerk certified the enactment on Aug. 17, 2021.
Because implementation depends on state board approval, board action on Aug. 17 was an adoption of the county plan rather than immediate program changes or budgetary commitments. The board did not record specific implementation steps or cost estimates in the meeting segment.
