DOT new informational resource for wetlands and waterways for road improvement projects


Dear Local Government Stakeholder,

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) has developed a new informational resource related to coordination requirements for wetlands and waterways for locally let road improvement projects.

These include projects funded through the Local Roads Improvement Program (LRIP), the Agricultural Roads Improvement Program (ARIP), and the Local Small Structure Improvement Program (LSSIP).

WisDOT encourages early coordination with DNR Transportation Liaisons to identify potential environmental issues early in design and avoid late "surprises" that may impact project design, schedules and budgets.
If applicable to your project, you should coordinate early with the appropriate DNR Transportation Liaison directly throughout project development and prior to construction, as needed.

This reminder is being shared broadly as a proactive informational resource and may or may not be applicable to your municipality or project.

A link to this new informational resource is available on the WisDOT Improvement Program webpages:

<https://wisconsindot.gov/Documents/doing-bus/local-gov/astnce-pgms/highway/environ-let.pdf>


DNR Transportation Liaisons are assigned by county. Liaison contact information is available here:


If you have any questions, please send them to this email address: 
DOTLocalPrograms@dot.wi.gov.

Thank you,
WisDOT Local Programs   ...Full Story Here
