The newly proposed rules would affect industry and municipal wastewater treatment plants that release phosphorus in their discharges to Wisconsin water bodies following the parameters already in place for farming operations.
Too much phosphorus entering our waterways generates excessive algae growth. We've seen the affects on Lake Winnebago in particular. Several public hearings on the proposed rules are held throughout the state this month. FYI: April 20, Green Bay City Hall, Council Chambers, Room 203, 100 N. Jefferson, St. at 1:00pm.
