Purpose

The purpose is to approve text changes to Chapter 24.

Background

Wis. Stat. ch. 295 and 59.51 as well as Wis. Admin. Code ch. NR 135 provide the authority for Counties to establish and administer a local program to ensure the effective reclamation of nonmetallic mining sites. Through the course of ordinance implementation, to ensure consistency amongst the operators plans for reclamation as well as to guarantee the County the ability reclaim those sites in which the operator fails to do so; amendments to the ordinance are necessary.  Minor numbering issues as well as updates from Planning and Zoning to Land Resources and Environment have also been noted.

 

Wis. Admin. Code 135.45 requires DNR review of ordinance amendments for compliance at least 45 days prior to the adoption of said amendments. Proposed amendments submitted to the DNR for review and comment find that the County ordinance is not more or less restrictive than statutory and administrative code requirements.
