WI DNR Catalogs Impaired State Waters

Let's keep the Bad River and its tributaries forever off these lists.

Wisconsin’s 2014 Impaired Waters List Submitted to US EPA

Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) submitted an updated list of impaired waters to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) on April 1, 2014.  Prior to submitting the list to US EPA, WDNR held a public informational webinar on February 12, 2014 and a formal public comment period from February 4 to March 6, 2014. A small number of changes were made to the list based on public input.

Comments received during the public notice period and WDNR responses, indicating any changes to the draft 2014 impaired waters list, and an updated impaired waters list were submitted to US EPA for their review.  US EPA will review the list according to the requirements of Section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act.  When US EPA makes an approval decision on the submitted list, WDNR will announce the final 2014 list via GovDelivery message and posting on our website. More information about the impaired waters list is available on WDNR’s website. For questions, please contact Aaron Larson (608.264.6129,AaronM.Larson@wi.gov).
