50.925 - Verification of depth to bedrock
| - Currently not available for cost sharing
- DATCP 01 - Technical standard was developed in 2020
- Standard provides criteria, methodology, and the qualifications for verification of depth to bedrock to support implementation of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Wis. Admin. Code s. NR 151.075 in areas where the bedrock consists of Silurian dolomite with a depth to bedrock of 20 feet or less.
- Affects portions of the following counties: Brown, Calumet, Dodge, Door, Fond du Lac, Kenosha, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, Outagamie, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Walworth, Washington, and Waukesha
- The standard can be used anywhere in the state
- Cost-share can only be in the Silurian area (s. ATCP 50.925 (s)) See map at left.
- Understanding the Silurian Bedrock Performance Standard (NR 151.075) and the Verification of Depth to Bedrock Technical Standard (DATCP 01)
