Section NR 749.04 - Fees
(1)When a person requests the department to review a document listed in Table 1, the person requesting this assistance shall pay to the department the applicable fees. A person may request that department assistance be provided in either written form or in the form of oral comments. Appropriate fees shall accompany all requests for specific department assistance. Department assistance will not be provided unless the applicable fee accompanies the request for assistance. These fees are not proratable or refundable.

Note: If the NR 700 series rules require that a document be submitted to the department, such as in s. NR 716.09(1), but the person does not specifically request a department review of the document, then a review fee is not required.

Note: Additional information and guidance for implementing this rule including how to make a payment when a review is requested can be found at: http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/Brownfields/Fees.html.

(2)If the department determines that a request for assistance does not contain enough information to render an opinion, or that the request is incomplete or inaccurate in some other manner, the department will notify the applicant of the reasons for this decision.
