Wisconsin law NR-135 is an act put in place to the owners of private property to protect their property from the impacts of an abandoned quarry on their land. The SWWRPC administers this ordinance for Grant and Green counties to safeguard the landowners after natural resources are extracted from stone, gravel, or sand quarries. This serves to guarantee that there are provisions set aside to reclaim land that has been disturbed by excavation. The intent of NR-135 resonates with the values of the SWWRPC, as we believe in the practice of taking care of the future, so the future can take care of the present.
