Current through June 24, 2024
(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.
