Wisconsin County Code Administrators (WCCA) received a contract from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in 2010 to develop guidance for county zoning staff and county zoning committees for the implementation of the administrative rule NR 115 Wisconsin’s shoreland protection program. Through this guidebook WCCA intends to: 1) Provide its membership guidance on the model shoreland protection ordinance. 2) Attempt to explain NR 115 and make it clear where we feel there is ambiguity and address how counties can continue to provide greater protection for the resource. 3) Provide a menu of policy and procedure options for zoning staff to use in developing their revised county shoreland ordinances and in administering them.
The Sokaogon Chippewa Community is a sovereign nation chartered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and is recognized federally as a Native American Tribal Nation and operates under a ratified constitution. The Sokaogon Chippewa Community tribal lands are located in the Town of Nashville in Forest County. The Town of Nashville is a double township offset from each other. The Mole Lake reservation is located in the northern section of Nashville, which occupies the southwest corner of Forest County, Wisconsin. The City of Crandon lies kitty-corner, north and east, of the Town.
The NCWRPC has been actively involved in transportation planning and received “designation” as a rural transportation planning district from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
This report is intended to update and replace the original 2000-2020 sewer service area plan for the City of Marshfield and surrounding area. These types of plans are also known as areawide water quality management plans. The general purpose of this areawide water quality management plan, herein referred to as Sewer Service Area Plan, is to maintain a twenty year sanitary sewer service boundary for the Marshfield Urban Area and an institutional structure for implementing the Plan and managing the extension of sanitary sewage services within this urban area. The urban sanitary sewer service area boundary identifies the geographic land area within which sanitary sewer service could be made available by the year 2030 through a cost-effective, environmentally acceptable manner.
An assessment of economic development activities of the North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission over the last decade and the past year. The report’s seven sections describe the CEDS Committee, Past Year’s Activities, the Physical Region, Changes in the Region’s Population, changes in the Region’s Economy, a Regional Development Strategy, and an Economic Development Work Plan. Also included is a list of potential public works projects. This CEDS process maintains the Region’s eligibility as an Economic Development District (EDD) with the U.S. Economic Development Administration. The District consists of ten counties. These counties are Adams, Forest, Juneau, Langlade, Lincoln, Marathon, Oneida, Portage, Vilas, and Wood. However, Portage, and Wood Counties do not fully participate in the EDD – only some local communities with these two Counties participate.
The Village requested general information with regard to traffic volumes on these roads. The attached reports summarize the data from these sites. For each location, there are two vehicle volume reports (#1 with average hourly vehicle counts by lane direction and totals for the counting period and #2 with daily volumes and peaks), a combined classification report with totals combined for both directions by type of vehicle and time, and a combined speed report with totals combined for both directions by speed group and time.
A widespread loss of power for many days or even weeks is a very real risk for Wisconsin. Recent ice storm events (i.e., Montreal area in January 1998) provide examples of the potential impacts and devastation. This project was undertaken to improve the level of preparedness for such a long-term power outage (LTPO) event in Wisconsin.
