Board hears PFAS planning update; DNR grant administration and staffing discussed

Oneida County Board of Health Committee · August 11, 2026

Summary

Vice Chair William “Casey” Crump said staff are organizing an October community meeting on PFAS and the committee discussed the Wisconsin DNR's proposed staffing to manage PFAS grant programs; it is not yet clear how funds will be administered at the local level.

Vice Chair William “Casey” Crump reported that he is working with partners to organize a community meeting on PFAS in October and that staff are still awaiting responses from other partners. Committee discussion flagged the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources' planning to manage PFAS grant programs and a proposal that the DNR may hire eight or nine staff to oversee those programs; meeting minutes say it remains unclear whether local municipalities or homeowners will be responsible for managing distributed funding.

Chair Dan Hess asked to be notified of updates as they arrive. The minutes record planning and uncertainty about program administration but do not record decisions or deadlines beyond scheduling a community meeting in October.
