RR Program Submittal Portal

Submit forms and documents related to ch. NR 700, Wis. Adm. Code.

Submit Electronically

Customers are strongly encouraged to submit documents via the online Submittal Portal. The DNR is temporarily suspending the requirement to submit one paper copy of each plan or report under s. NR 700.11(3g), Wis Adm. Code, including hard copies of case closure packets.

The Notification for Hazardous Substance Discharge Form – Non-Emergency Only (Form 4400-225) is now a web form accessible through the Submittal Portal.

Compliance with NR 712

Professional Engineers are permitted to certify reports using a digital or electronic signature and P.E. stamp for any submittal subject to ch. NR 712, Wis. Adm. Code, requirements. Hydrogeologists, professional geologists and scientists may certify using a digital or electronic signature for NR 712 submittals. (See ss. A-E 2.02(7) and GHSS 1.03(7), Wis. Adm. Code, and s. 137.15, Wis. Stats.)

The RR Program Submittal Portal allows external customers to easily submit electronic copies of forms and documents required by chs. NR 700 - 799, Wis. Adm. Code. Within the portal, the Document Uploader is available to submit electronic copies of documents related to the assessment, investigation, cleanup, closure and/or redevelopment of contaminated properties. 

Document submittal requirements are listed in s. NR 700.11(3g), Wis. Adm. Code, as well as throughout chs. NR 700 - 799, Wis. Adm. Code, for specific situations. Responsible parties or their representative must provide the DNR with one paper copy and one electronic copy of all submitted documents, including those related to case closure requests. The electronic file should be an exact duplicate of the paper document.

The Notification for Hazardous Substance Discharge Form – Non-Emergency Only (Form 4400-225) is now a fillable web form accessible through the Submittal Portal. Use this online form to report discharges that are identified through laboratory analysis of soil, sediment, vapor, indoor air and water.
