There will be a public hearing in April and written comments may be submitted by email or snail mail.

Public hearing: 1 p.m. Tuesday, Apr. 18 at the Tomah Park and Recreation Building, 1625 Butts Ave.

Written comments may be submitted by email or mailed to Wisconsin DNR, RE: Docket#IP-WC-2016-42-00902, 5301 Rib Mountain Dr., Wausau, WI 54401.

Comments must be postmarked by April 28.

This would be a good action item for every Coulee Region Sierra Club member.
