Materials for borrowers and grantees
Wisconsin Ready for Reuse Loan and Grant Program
Grantees and borrowers of traditional ready for reuse grants and loans will need the resources on this page.
Public comment period
Required documents for public comment period
Due to federal rules, every community that is awarded a ready for reuse grant or loan must go through a 30-day public comment period for the work being funded by this program. This public comment period, and a DNR-issued decision memo following the 30 days, must be completed before any remediation can begin on a grant or loan site. Contact Gena Larson with questions about this process.
The following documents need to be placed in a publicly-accessible administrative record:
- Community relations plan [PDF]
- Analysis of brownfield cleanup alternatives [PDF]
- Quality assurance/quality control equivalent
- DRAFT remedial action plan
- Any other site or project-related reports
Model public notice
Public notice must be given to announce the public comment period and tell people where the administrative record is located. For example, a newspaper notice should be placed in:
- a newspaper of general circulation; and
- appear in a common area of the paper (not in the legal notice section).
