Current through Register No. 13, March 27, 2025
(a) The rules in Env-Ws 386.10 through Env-Ws 386.69 shall also apply to restrict activity beyond the shoreline setback if the department determines that such activity would endanger water quality.
(b) The department shall consider the following factors when determining whether an activity beyond the shoreline setback would endanger water quality:
(c) If the department determines that, due to the type, amount, and persistence of the contaminant and the topography and distance between the activity that generates the contaminant and the water supply intake, the contaminant cannot be reduced to a safe level through the application of BMPs or BAT, the department shall issue a written notice advising the water supplier and the person undertaking the activity that the activity must be restricted to a specified distance from the water supply intake, with or without BMPs or BAT, so that the activity will not pose a threat to the water taken in by the water system.
