Wisconsin's shoreland protection standards under ch.
NR 115
, Wis. Adm. Code, do not distinguish or contain different standards for businesses within the shoreland zone. Therefore, businesses or business sectors are either not directly impacted by the proposed rule, or businesses located within the shoreland zone must meet the same requirements as any other property owner in the shoreland zone. If a business is located in the shoreland zone and the structure is non-conforming or the property exceeds the impervious surface limits, the business may keep what they have and repair or maintain those structures.
Specific businesses and business sectors may be indirectly impacted by the proposed rule depending upon the type of business and location of the business. Given that a primary purpose of the proposed revisions is to ease the administrative burden on counties, some businesses including builders, contractors, building centers, landscapers, nurseries and garden centers may experience some positive economic impacts, because the proposed rule language will provide shoreland property owners with increased flexibility for development of their property.

Effective 10-1-14.
Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
Economic impacts of this rule are minimal. Actual costs to drillers are small and unlikely to affect decisions to offer a service or enter a business sector. The current water well drilling license is $50.00 per year for an individual drilling license and/or $50.00 for the drilling firm business license. The cost is anticipated to be similar to add certification for heat exchange drilling. Administration of the driller license exam is currently done at no cost to the driller.
As a result, actual costs to consumers to use geothermal energy are unlikely to be affected by the licensing and construction permits.
Overall economic impacts are uncertain. Additional protection of groundwater through consistent, high quality drilling practices should reduce future costs of drinking water treatment or groundwater clean-up. Consistent high quality heat exchange drilling practices should help contain the costs of this alternative source of energy for heating and cooling.
No public comments were received on the draft economic analysis and no impacts to small business are anticipated.

VII of ch. 812
, relating to licensing criteria for water well drilling rig operators, property transfer well inspectors and well filling and sealing contractors, and criteria for citations and relating to standards for property transfer well inspections, well filling and sealing and criteria for citations.
Effective 10-1-14.
Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
There is not expected to be an economic impact on small business. The inspection of properties and water systems for real estate transfer is expected to find unused wells and non-compliant wells that will need to be upgraded to become compliant with code, or filled and sealed. This may result in additional work for licensed persons and help avoid costly well contamination for property owners.
