Nov 3-4, 2011 Wisconsin AOC Meeting–Green Bay

Proceedings

November 3-4, 2011 Green Bay, Wisconsin
Wisconsin’s Areas of Concern Statewide Meeting

This meeting provided a face-to-face opportunity to discuss and coordinate delisting strategies, Remedial Action Plans and ways of measuring success as a state and in collaboration with EPA’s guidelines.  We discussed the idea of a state public advisory committee.  Displays and posters about your AOC were present.  This was a great chance to meet our colleagues in Wisconsin working in the Milwaukee River Estuary, Sheboygan River, Lower Green Bay/Fox River, Menominee River and St. Louis River AOCs.
