Latest version.
  • The purpose of this chapter is to provide a uniform statewide procedure for the processing of enforcement actions for violations of chs. 30 , 31 and 88 , Stats., when after-the-fact permit applications have been filed by the alleged violator to legalize the activity. It is the natural resources board's policy to encourage timely permit applications so as to permit the department to properly review projects in order to discourage persons from engaging in activities affecting the waters of the state without obtaining prior approval when required by law.
