A Forum on Phosphorus –
What Will the New Phosphorus Rules Mean for Wisconsin?
Thursday, May 27, 2010
10 am - noon
UWM Great Lakes WATER Institute
600 East Greenfield Ave.
Milwaukee
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is now developing new phosphorus standards for the water bodies in the State of Wisconsin. Those rules will have a significant impact on water quality criteria and limitations and effluent standards, leading to important revisions to Chapters NR 102 and NR 217 of the Wisconsin Administrative Codes concerning phosphorus water quality standards for Wisconsin water bodies and effluent limits for Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems (WPDES) permits.
Come to a free Phosphorus Forum, sponsored by Sweet Water: the Southeastern Wisconsin Watersheds Trust, Inc., and hosted by the UWM’s Great Lakes WATER Institute. The event will feature briefings by four experts on the developments in the phosphorus situation in Wisconsin. There will also be an opportunity for questions and open discussion following the formal presentations.
The panelists include:
- Susan Anthony, Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District
- James Baumann, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Bureau of Watershed Management
- Paul Kent, Anderson & Kent, S.C.
- Betsy Lawton, Midwest Environmental Advocates
The Phosphorus Forum is free and open to the public. Both lot and street parking is available at the UWM WATER Institute, located at 600 East Greenfield Avenue, on the Milwaukee harbor, just east of the Rockwell Automation/Allen Bradley facilities.
