Two site investigation checklists are now available from the Wisconsin DNR’s Remediation and Redevelopment (RR) Program.

The Site Investigation Work Plan Preparation Checklist (RR-096) and the Site Investigation Report (SIR) Preparation Checklist (RR-097) are optional tools that environmental consultants and responsible parties can use to help develop site investigation work plans and reports in compliance with Wis. Admin. Code NR 716.

The checklists provide corresponding rule citations for each item to consider, as well as a space to write comments as you proceed. In addition, the SIR checklist identifies the related section of the closure form to assist in the future preparation of a closure packet.

In the coming weeks, the RR Program will share information regarding a conference call or other distance learning opportunity to go over these new guidance documents. The RR program is also working on a new webpage that will serve as a one-stop shop for a variety of site investigation tools.

Questions or feedback regarding these checklists should be directed to Judy Fassbender.
