NR 151.125 NoteNote: It is recommended that seeding of non-invasive vegetative cover be used in the protective areas. Some invasive plants are listed in ch. NR 40. Vegetation that is flood and drought tolerant and can provide long-term bank stability because of an extensive root system is preferable. Vegetative cover may be measured using the line transect method described in the University of Wisconsin extension publication number A3533, titled “Estimating Residue Using the Line Transect Method”. NR 151.125(3)(c)(c) Best management practices such as filter strips, swales, or wet detention ponds, that are designed to control pollutants from non-point sources, may be located in the protective area. NR 151.125 NoteNote: Other laws, such as ch. 30, Stats., and chs. NR 103, 115, 116, and 117 and their associated review and approval processes may apply in the protective area. NR 151.125(4)(4) Exemptions. This section does not apply to any of the following: NR 151.125(4)(c)(c) Structures that cross or access surface waters such as boat landings, bridges, and culverts. NR 151.125(4)(e)(e) Areas of post-construction sites from which the runoff does not enter the surface water, including wetlands, without first being treated by a BMP to meet the requirements of ss. NR 151.122 to 151.123, except to the extent that vegetative ground cover is necessary to maintain bank stability. NR 151.125 NoteNote: A vegetated protective area to filter runoff pollutants from post-construction sites described in par. (e) is not necessary since the runoff at that location is treated prior to entering the surface water. Other practices necessary to meet the requirements of this section, such as a swale or pond, will need to be designed and implemented to reduce runoff pollutants prior to runoff entering a surface water of the state. The requirements of ch. NR 103 still apply and should be considered before runoff is diverted to or from a wetland. NR 151.125 HistoryHistory: CR 09-112: cr. Register December 2010 No. 660, eff. 1-1-11. NR 151.126NR 151.126 Fueling and vehicle maintenance areas performance standard. Fueling and vehicle maintenance areas shall have BMPs designed, installed, and maintained to reduce petroleum within runoff, so that the runoff that enters waters of the state contains no visible petroleum sheen, or to the maximum extent practicable. NR 151.126 NoteNote: A combination of the following BMPs may be used: oil and grease separators, canopies, petroleum spill cleanup materials, or any other structural or non-structural method of preventing or treating petroleum in runoff.

NR 151.122 to 151.124, BMPs may be located on-site or off-site as part of a regional storm water device, practice, or system, but shall be installed in accordance with s. NR 151.003.

NR 151.122 to 151.126 shall be installed before the construction site has undergone final stabilization. NR 151.128 NoteNote: In accordance with subch. V, the department has developed technical standards to help meet the post-construction performance standards. These technical standards are available from the department at dnr.wi.gov.
NR 151.128 HistoryHistory: CR 09-112: cr. Register December 2010 No. 660, eff. 1-1-11. NR 151.13NR 151.13 Developed urban area performance standard for municipalities. NR 151.13(1)(a)(a) Applicability. This subsection applies to any incorporated municipality with an average density of 1,000 people per square mile or greater, based on the latest decennial census made by the U.S. census, as well as any commercial and industrial areas contiguous to these areas. NR 151.13 NoteNote: The municipality has primary responsibility for complying with this subsection. However, the public is expected to follow municipal ordinance requirements and requests to carry out activities such as: proper curbside placement of leaves for collection, relocating vehicles for street sweeping, and utilizing proper disposal methods for oils and other chemicals.
NR 151.13(1)(b)(b) Requirements. For areas identified under par. (a), all of the following shall be implemented: NR 151.13(1)(b)1.1. A public information and education program, utilizing materials identified by the department, promoting beneficial on-site reuse of leaves and grass clippings and proper use of turf and garden fertilizers and pesticides, proper management of pet wastes, and prevention of dumping oil and other chemicals in storm sewers. NR 151.13(1)(b)2.2. A municipal program, as appropriate, for the management of leaf and grass clippings, including public education about this program. NR 151.13(1)(b)3.3. The application of turf and garden fertilizers on five acres or more of municipally controlled properties shall be done in accordance with a site specific nutrient application schedule based on appropriate soil tests. The nutrient application schedule shall be designed to maintain the optimal health of the turf or garden vegetation. NR 151.13 NoteNote: In accordance with subch. V, the department has developed a technical standard to help meet the nutrient management performance standard. The technical standard is available from the department at dnr.wi.gov.
