Wisconsin Administrative Code › Department of Natural Resources › NR 800 - Environmental Protection - Water Supply › Chapter NR 845 - County Administration Of Ch. NR 812, Private Well Cod › Section NR 845.12 - Performance standards

Current through June 24, 2024
Tables II-VI contain performance standards for delegation
				  levels 1 to 5. These standards are established as levels to guide county
				  efforts and to provide a means for the department to evaluate the effectiveness
				  of county programs. Failure to meet the minimum standards, as determined in the
				  department audit, is cause for the department to place a county on probationary
				  status or to revoke a county's program authority. In the event the county
				  determines it cannot meet the minimum standards, this information shall be
				  conveyed to the department at the earliest possible time. In addition to the
				  performance standards contained in Tables II to VI, the department may consider
				  any other activity, in review of a county's program, the department determines
				  to be an indication of a county's ability to administer and enforce the private
				  water system ordinance and program.
