    Contributors:

    Summary: This data represents hydrography for Wisconsin, in 2023 and includes the layers 'WD_HYDRO_BANK_LN_24K', 'WD_HYDRO_FLOWLINE_LN_24K', 'WD_HYDRO_FLOWLINE_WBIC_LN_24K', 'WD_HYDRO_JUNCTION_PT_24K', 'WD_HYDRO_LINE_LN_24K', 'WD_HYDRO_POINT_PT_24K', 'WD_HYDRO_WATERBODY_AR_24K', and 'WD_HYDRO_WATERBODY_WBIC_AR_24K'[The DNR Hydrography database was developed statewide using several 1:24,000-scale sources. This data layer includes information about surface water features represented on the USGS 1:24,000-scale topographic map series such as perennial and intermittent streams, lakes, etc. Because the sources of the Hydrography data span many years and originate from several sources, the data may reflect areas of transition from one source to another. As a result, the water features as represented in the Hydrography data may not always match what you see on a particular USGS quad or Digital Raster Graphic (DRG). The DNR has updated 24k hydro surface water feature names following federal guidance to replace derogatory names. Please refer to the full list:https://edits.nationalmap.gov/apps/gaz-domestic/public/all-official-sq-names and online map: https://geonarrative.usgs.gov/names_taskforce/ provided by the United States Geological Survey for name change details. Authoritative download of the updated data is available from: https://data-wi-dnr.opendata.arcgis.com/ The DNR has also updated public map services for these changes.]

Due to newer state cleanup programs, Wisconsin now adds few sites to the NPL. Data does not include:Hazardous substance "spills" (i.e., locations where a cleanup confirmed by laboratory analysis is generally completed within 60 to 90 days) Some recent sites that are not yet mappedSome sites with soil contamination above chapter NR 720 residual contaminant levels for cleanups approved prior to August 1, 2002Locations where a discharge or potential discharge was reported to the DNR and the DNR determined that no investigation is requiredSites never reported to the DNR.To view more contamination data layers see the RR Sites Map at https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/Brownfields/rrsm.html, or for specific site information search BRRTS on the Web at https://dnr.wi.gov/botw/SetUpBasicSearchForm.do]
