KEEPING A WATCHFUL EYE
Federally funded transportation projects must undergo environmental reviews and all projects must comply with environmental standards and permitting requirements.
WTBA members work in partnership with WisDOT and local governments to construct crucial infrastructure projects while complying with environmental regulations and protecting Wisconsin’s natural resources.
Projects must comply with state and federal requirements for clean air, clean water and threatened and endangered species. Borrow and Waste sites require stormwater permits and compliance with erosion control standards. Contractors may also have permitting and compliance requirements related to portable plants and other equipment as well as quarries or pits that supply materials for road construction.
WTBA monitors state and federal legislative and regulatory activities and advocates on behalf of members with agency officials and state legislators on issues impacting construction sites and contractor operations.
