Comments on NR 820 High Capacity Wells - Bob Heise explained and discussed new rules proposed by DNR on groundwater quantity. He attended a public hearing on this in mid - December. He emphasized that direct withdrawal of groundwater has affects on surface waters. Other areas in the state with high population growth have seen groundwater depletion. Heise 5 presented a draft letter with public comments as part of the public hearing process for the proposed NR 820 Groundwater Quality Protection. In looking at this area and growth in next 20 years there is concern about prevention of groundwater depletion and making this area a groundwater management area. The letter requests that the DNR take required action to include the Tri- County region (Pierce, Polk and St. Croix Counties) in the Administrative Rule NR 820.20 as a Groundwater Management Area. The concern is with wells that withdraw more than 100,000 gallons of water per day including irrigation wells, large dairy operations, golf courses, municipal wells. Heise would like to see baselines established and preventative measures put in place to help preserve natural water resources in the County. Ruetz stated that more information is needed in this area. Land and Water Committee will meet and discuss this issue on January 2. One change was requested: Wally Habhegger to be changed to Wallace Habhegger.
