Projects Under Review:
The Wisconsin Coastal Management Program (WCMP), State of Wisconsin, Department of Administration, has received correspondence from the US Army Corps of Engineers and the applicant for a federal permit to discharge dredged and fill material in 54.7 acres of wetlands for the construction of the Nemadji Trail Energy Center and associated activities. The site for the Nemadji Trail Energy Center facility is in Douglas County, Wisconsin. The proposed activity is subject to review for consistency under the policies of the WCMP.

Review Process
Through its federal consistency review authority, the Wisconsin Coastal Management Program (WCMP) has broad opportunities to influence federal government activities, construction, funding, permitting and other actions proposed within the coastal zone. It promotes coordination between state and federal policies, programs and agencies.
The review process relies on and seeks to improve existing state programs. Federal regulations (15 CFR 930) establish the basic policies and procedures for coastal states, federal agencies and other affected parties pertaining to the federal consistency review process.
