Project Grant 84029401

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will receive $200,000 under a three-year Project Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency Office of Administration and Resource Management to enhance waterway and wetland regulatory data management capabilities. Funded activities under the Environmental Information Exchange Network Grant Program (CFDA 66.608) include creating a waterway and wetland regulatory database, and increasing integration between the database and the agency's water e-permitting system and surface water data viewer. Anticipated deliverables are a waterway and wetland permit database, an integrated document generation system, and a publicly available wetlands dashboard. The project aims to streamline regulatory decisions, improve data sharing, and increase waterway and wetland impact data quality.
