Current through November 25, 2024
Section NR 153.10 - Purpose

The purpose of this chapter is to establish the administrative framework for the selection of all targeted runoff management projects under s. 281.65(4c), Stats., the selection of notice of discharge projects under s. 281.65(4e), Stats., and implementation of these projects under s. 281.65, Stats. This chapter promotes management of urban and rural nonpoint pollution sources in critical geographic locations where nonpoint source related water quality problems and threats are most severe and control is most feasible. This chapter accelerates implementation of nonpoint source water pollution control in areas where funding available through s. 92.14, Stats., is inadequate to meet water quality goals.
