Note: The department recommends that test wells be sampled for regulated drinking water contaminants to ensure the permanent well produces water that meets the drinking water quality standards specified under ch. NR 809.
Note: Chapter NR 146 contains the registration requirements for well drillers.
Note: Refer to ch. NR 116 for floodplain and floodway requirements.
Note: The department's database of contaminated properties, established in accordance with ss. 292.12 (3), 292.31 (1), and 292.57, Stats., can be found on the department's Bureau for Remediation and Redevelopment internet web site. The Bureau for Remediation and Redevelopment Tracking System (BRRTS) is an on-line database that provides information on known contaminated soil or groundwater and tracks the status of the cleanup actions.
