NR 716.15(5)(d)1. 1. ‘Format.’ For properties that are not more than 200 feet wide or long, a single point geographic position shall be obtained at least 40 feet within the boundaries of the property, or as close to the center of the property as possible if the property is less than 80 feet wide or long. For properties that are more than 200 feet wide or long, coordinates describing the approximate location of the property’s boundaries, forming a polygon, shall be obtained.

NR 716.15(5)(d)2. 2. ‘Coordinate system.’ Geographic position data shall be originally collected in Wisconsin Transverse Mercator ‘91 or projected onto Wisconsin Transverse Mercator ‘91.

NR 716.15 Note Note: Information about the Wisconsin Transverse Mercator ’91 projection is available on the internet at http://dnr.wi.gov/maps/gis/wtm8391.html.

NR 716.15(5)(d)3. 3. ‘Acceptable methods.’ Acceptable methods for obtaining geographic position data include direct location or interpolation from other features on a base map of 1:24000 scale or finer, differentially corrected global positioning system data, or other methods capable of similar or superior accuracy that have been approved by the department.

NR 716.15(5)(d)4. 4. ‘Required information.’ The following information is required for all properties: the name of the county where the property is located, the collection method used, and the scale or resolution of original source of geographic position for on–screen digitizing.

The department shall communicate any additional investigation requirements to the responsible parties in writing and shall explain why the additional requirements are needed.

NR 716.17(2) (2) The department may require that treatability studies be conducted as part of the site investigation, where appropriate for the purpose of demonstrating that an interim action or remedial option will meet the remedy selection criteria in ch. NR 708 or 722.

NR 716.17(3) (3) When a site investigation conducted under this chapter indicates that an immediate, interim or remedial action is necessary, the responsible parties shall identify, evaluate and select an immediate or interim action in accordance with ch.
