NR 153.14(4)(b)(b) The existence of impaired water bodies that the department has identified to the federal environmental protection agency under 33 USC 1313 (d) (1) (A). NR 153.14(4)(c)(c) The existence of outstanding or exceptional resource waters, as designated by the department under s. 281.15, Stats.

NR 153.14(4)(f)(f) Other water quality concerns of national or statewide importance as identified by the department in application materials. NR 153.14(5)(5) Large-scale TMDL implementation project eligibility criteria. Large-scale TMDL implementation projects shall meet the following specific criteria: NR 153.14(5)(a)(a) The project shall directly implement the pollutant-specific goals of either a draft TMDL, a US EPA-approved TMDL, a draft TMDL implementation plan, a department approved TMDL implementation plan, or an equivalent to any of the foregoing as identified by the department. NR 153.14(5)(b)(b) The project shall be designed to control the most critical nonpoint pollution sources within a designated watershed area. NR 153.14 NoteNote: The boundaries of the watershed area will be based on factors including the amount of funds available, the management needs identified in the TMDL and the management strategy set forth in the TMDL implementation plan.
NR 153.14(5)(c)(c) The project shall be limited to managing agricultural sources of nonpoint pollution. NR 153.14(5)(d)(d) The project shall focus on controlling those nonpoint pollution sources in the project area that are determined to be significant based on their relative contribution to the impairment and that can be cost-effectively controlled. NR 153.14(5)(e)(e) The intended project period may not exceed 3 years in duration, with the possibility of extension to 4 years if approved by the department. NR 153.14(6)(6) Small-scale TMDL implementation project eligibility criteria. Small-scale TMDL implementation projects shall meet the following specific criteria: NR 153.14(6)(a)(a) The project shall directly implement the pollutant-specific goals of either a draft TMDL, a US EPA-approved TMDL, a draft TMDL implementation plan, a department approved TMDL implementation plan, or an equivalent to any of the foregoing as identified by the department. NR 153.14(6)(c)(c) The project may address nonpoint pollution from either agricultural or urban sources. NR 153.14(6)(d)(d) The project shall focus on controlling those nonpoint pollution sources in the project area that are determined to be significant based on their relative contribution to the impairment and that can be cost-effectively controlled. NR 153.14(6)(e)(e) The intended project period may not exceed two years in duration, with the possibility of extension to 3 years if approved by the department. NR 153.14(7)(7) Large-scale non-TMDL control projects eligibility criteria. Large-scale non-TMDL control projects shall meet the following specific criteria: NR 153.14(7)(a)(a) The project shall implement water resource management goals included in a watershed plan or strategy acceptable to the department. NR 153.14(7)(b)(b) The project shall be designed to control the most critical nonpoint pollution sources within a designated watershed area. The designated watershed area shall be not less than 8 square miles nor more than 39 square miles in areal extent. NR 153.14 NoteNote: The Wisconsin Buffer Initiative finds that watersheds in this size range provide the best opportunity for cost-effectively solving surface water resource problems in threatened or partially degraded waters using agricultural nonpoint source pollution control best management practices. The Wisconsin Buffer Initiative is published by the University of Wisconsin College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. Copies are on file with the department and the secretary of state.
NR 153.14(7)(c)(c) The project shall be limited to managing agricultural sources of nonpoint pollution. NR 153.14(7)(d)(d) The project shall focus on controlling those nonpoint pollution sources in the project area that are determined to be significant based on their relative contribution to the impairment and that can be cost-effectively controlled. NR 153.14(7)(e)(e) The project shall focus on attainment of performance standards and prohibitions established by the department under s. 281.16 (3), Stats. NR 153.14(7)(f)(f) The intended project period may not exceed 3 years in duration, with the possibility of extension to a fourth year if approved by the department. NR 153.14(8)(8) Small-scale non-TMDL control project eligibility criteria. Small-scale nonpoint source control projects shall meet the following specific criteria: NR 153.14(8)(b)(b) The project may address nonpoint pollution from either agricultural or urban sources.
