NR 140 (DG-17-22) Draft Economic Impact Analysis Informational Session
Date: 10/20/2023
Time: 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Location: Virtual
Bill Phelps, William.Phelps@wisconsin.gov
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is developing revisions to the state’s groundwater quality rules in NR 140, Wisconsin Administrative Code. The rule revisions are intended to add new state groundwater quality standards for four per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS) and hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (HFPO-DA/”GenX”). In accordance with s. 160.07, Wis. Stat., amendments to ch. NR 140, Wis. Adm. Code, groundwater quality standards for substances of public health concern are based on recommendations from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS).
The DNR has developed a draft NR 140 Economic Impact Analysis and is holding a public comment period to solicit additional information or advice on the economic effect of the proposed rules.

Topics include forestry guidance on:
- silvopasture, or managed grazing under trees
- trees that produce edible nuts and fruits
- markets for land that grows timber and food
- implications for diverse plant and animal communities
- areas where additional guidance would be helpful
