Wisconsin Registration of Nonmetallic Mineral Deposit is a process for mineral exploration and development in the state of Wisconsin. It is a necessary step for any individual or company to obtain a permit before engaging in any activities that involve the exploration and extraction of nonmetallic minerals such as sand, gravel, and clay. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is responsible for overseeing the registration process, which involves filing an application with the DNR, providing detailed information about the proposed project, and submitting supporting documents. Once the application is approved, the DNR will issue a registration number, which must be prominently displayed at the project site. There are two types of Wisconsin Registration of Nonmetallic Mineral Deposit: General Registration and Nonmetallic Mining Reclamation Permit. General Registration is required for any nonmetallic mineral exploration or development activity, while Nonmetallic Mining Reclamation Permit is needed for larger projects that require more extensive reclamation efforts. Both registrations require applicants to provide detailed information about the proposed project, such as the type of mineral being extracted, the site location, the method of extraction, and the reclamation plan.
