The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will hold a public informational meeting to review Wisconsin’s ambient air quality monitoring network.
On May 13, 2025, the Air Management program made available for public review and comment the federally required “Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources 2025 Air Monitoring Network Plan.” Wisconsin is required to submit an annual network plan to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that shows the siting and operation of each monitor meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 58. The plan proposes DNR-recommended changes to the ambient monitoring network based on monitor history, population distribution and modifications to federal monitoring requirements. Responses to the plan are gathered through public comments, a public meeting and the EPA response. This plan certifies that the state has met all federal ambient air monitoring requirements.
Join this meeting via Zoom.

On Feb. 15, 2024, S&L Ford, LLC submitted an artificial wetland exemption request to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) under Wis. Stat. § 281.36(4n)(d). The DNR denied the exemption request on Feb. 29, 2024 and on March 28, 2024, S&L Ford, LLC submitted a petition for contested case hearing under Wis. Stat. § 227.42 with regard to the DNR’s denial. The DNR denied the petition for contested hearing on April 17, 2024 and a petition for judicial review was filed with the Oconto County Circuit Court on May 16, 2024. The Oconto County Circuit Court issued a Decision and Order on March 31, 2025 directing the DNR to grant the request for hearing. Based upon the Circuit Court’s Order, on April 14, 2025, the DNR granted a contested case hearing on whether it correctly relied on definitive evidence that Wetland W-1 existed on or before Aug. 1, 1991 to deny the exemption request under Wis. Stat. § 281.36(4n) and limited the hearing to the following factual issues:
1. Whether aerial photographs show wetland history that existed on or before Aug. 1, 1991; and.
2. Whether soil data show wetland history that existed on or before Aug. 1, 1991.
On April 18, 2025, the DNR submitted a request for hearing to the Division of Hearings and Appeals.
