ATCP 93.260(1)(a)(a) Tank systems and their dispensing systems shall comply with the setback requirements in Table 93.260, except as specified in pars. (b) and (c). ATCP 93.260(1)(b)(b) These setbacks do not apply where piping or dispensers are being replaced without replacing the tank. ATCP 93.260(1)(c)(c) These setbacks do not apply where shorter setbacks are specified by the department of natural resources. ATCP 93.260 NoteNote: The department of natural resources administers separating distances for proposed public community water supply wells regulated under ch. NR 811, and those distances may differ from the distances in Table 93.260. See footnote 4 under Table 93.260 for DNR requirements about separating distances for proposed and already-installed private water supply wells regulated under ch. NR 812. ATCP 93.260 NoteNote: Longer setback distances may be imposed through local wellhead-protection requirements.
