Dane County Relative Infiltration Mapping Project

Reducing runoff and replenishing groundwater supplies by infiltrating as much rainfall and snowmelt as possible is a key stormwater management strategy for addressing the impacts of development. In collaboration with Dane County, DNR, and UW-Madison, a set of relative infiltration maps have been developed for Dane County. The maps provide a useful screening tool for identifying areas that have high infiltration potential as well as those that might be enhanced through engineering techniques.

Dane County Wetlands Resource Management Guide

In order to promote wetland protection, restoration, and enhancement activities in the county, the staff of the Capital Area Regional Planning Commission has compiled a Dane County Wetlands Resource Management Guide. The guide is designed to encourage, support, and promote wetland improvement projects throughout the county. It highlights much of the collective knowledge and information from various federal, state, and local sources and presents that information relative to the wetlands in Dane County. More importantly, it raises the visibility and provides a framework for developing partnerships and initiating projects by developers, watershed associations, conservation groups, and private landowners; along with financial and technical assistance provided by federal, state, and local resource management agencies.
