NR 200-299 - Environmental Protection - Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
Chapter NR 212 - Waste Load Allocated Water Quality Related Effluent Limitations
Subchapter II - Effluent Limitations for Biochemical Oxygen Demand Developed Through Wasteload Allocations for Specific Stream Segments
Section NR 212.09 - Nonpoint source allocation
The allocation for nonpoint sources shall be zero unless otherwise specified in ss. NR 212.40 to 212.70.
For those stream conditions where the allocation of water quality related effluent limitations is necessary, nonpoint source effects on stream segments will normally be accounted for in the water quality model or other technical analysis used to determine the total maximum load. In unforeseen circumstances requiring the specific allocation of a portion of the total maximum load for contributions from nonpoint sources, s. NR 212.09 can be used. Direct control of contributions from nonpoint sources will be implemented through land management control practices and will not normally be included in a waste load allocation.
