Policy
The County is required under the stipulated agreement with the DNR and State Attorney General’s Office to file a Compliance Maintenance Annual Report (CMAR) for its wastewater collection system(s) under Wisconsin Code NR 208.
Background

A copy of the draft CMAR report is attached for reference.
Conclusion
A resolution passed by the County Board and signed by the County Executive is needed to fulfill this requirement.
