Universal Citation: WI Admin Code ยง NR 193.83
Current through August 26, 2024
(1) ELIGIBLE PROJECTS. The department may award grants under this subchapter to eligible applicants for any of the following projects:
(a) The fee simple acquisition of all rights
of a property that will protect the water quality or ecosystems of a lake or
river, if the negotiations between the grantee and landowner were conducted on
a willing seller-willing buyer basis.
(b) The purchase of perpetual conservation
easements for some of the rights of a property that will protect the water
quality or ecosystems of a lake or river if the negotiations between the
grantee and landowner were conducted on a willing seller-willing buyer
basis.
(2) INELIGIBLE PROJECTS. The department may not award grants under this subchapter for ineligible acquisition projects, including any of the following:
(a) The acquisition of property that is
subject to a reversionary right or that has restrictions or covenants that
would prevent the property from being managed for purposes consistent with this
subchapter.
(b) The acquisition of
property through condemnation.
(c)
The acquisition of property where the negotiations between the grantee and
landowner were not conducted on a willing seller-willing buyer basis.
(d) The acquisition of property on which a
dam is located.
(e) The acquisition
of property acquired more than one year before a land acquisition grant
application is submitted to the department.
(f) The acquisition of property for which an
environmental inspection report shows that the property contains undesirable
environmental conditions or liabilities or potential liability or hazards that
are unacceptable to the department.
(g) Projects that do not provide for public
access to the property, unless the department determines that restricting
access is necessary to protect wild animals, plants, or other natural
features.
(h) Relocation
costs.
Because the department requires willing seller-willing buyer negotiations, there is no use of eminent domain and there will be no need for relocation costs.
