Calumet County staff outline statewide NR151 compliance review; County to focus on 27 sites
Summary
Staff summarized the NR151 Progress & Resource Analysis: about 1,200 sites statewide were selected to assess compliance; Calumet County contains roughly 50 selected sites and department staff will focus work on 27 of those.
Reali, a staff member with the Calumet County Land & Water Conservation Department, outlined a statewide review of agricultural compliance with Wisconsin NR151 standards during the committee's April 2 meeting. "Approximately 1,200 sites have been selected across Wisconsin to determine overall compliance rates," he said, and noted that Calumet County contains about 50 of those sites.
Reali told the committee that county staff will concentrate on 27 of the 50 Calumet sites while the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has already collected data for the remaining 23. The assessment will examine compliance across crop fields, livestock operations and bedrock protections. Committee discussion focused on logistics for data collection and next steps for property outreach; no formal action was taken at the meeting.
