" Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee voted to overturn rules regulating nonpoint pollution in the state (NR151).
Pollution that runs off of farm fields, parking lots, construction zones and city streets, referred to as nonpoint source pollution, is the major cause of polluted waters in Wisconsin. Since 2002, NR151 has helped reduce this pollution by setting standards for manure and nutrient runoff from agricultural lands and by requiring developers and municipalities to reduce runoff from urban areas."
