Intergovernmental Relations - Federal Consistency Review Process

Coastal Mangement

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.

Federal Consistency Review Process describes the Wisconsin Coastal Management Program's review process and includes the WCMP's policies.
The excerpt above is part of the WCMP's program document. The program document describes the federally-approved Wisconsin Coastal Management Program. That publication is available here: Wisconsin Coastal Management Program: A Strategic Vision for the Great Lakes
