The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) increased the hourly fee for the review of technical documents submitted through the Voluntary Party Liability Exemption (VPLE) program. Wis. Admin. Code ยง NR 750.07(2) requires the DNR to calculate the hourly billing rate each year.
The new hourly rate is $115, an increase from the previous rate of $110 per hour. The new fee took effect on July 1, 2023.
Many developers, lenders and prospective purchasers of brownfields choose to enroll in the VPLE program versus a traditional cleanup path since the program provides certain liability assurances helpful to investors and future property owners. Additional information regarding the VPLE program is available on the VPLE program webpage.
