February 2008: Tom Karwoski, Sr. Project Manager, is participating in WDNR's Technical Advisory Committee for coordinating the NR 504 Exemption and the NR 812 Variance for Private Wells Near Landfills.

The committee's purpose is to assist WDNR in aligning its approach to granting an exemption to the private well setback provision under NR 504 (Landfill Location, Performance, Design and Construction Criteria) with the process and criteria for granting a variance in NR 812 (Well Construction and Pump Installation). The committee will propose changes to the code that clarify to the public and landfill owners what the timing and requirements are to obtain the exemption and variance, and that eliminate duplication of agency decisions.
