Thanks to advocacy work by Citizens for Safe Water Around Badger (CSWAB), Wisconsin has set a national precedent by adopting groundwater standards for previously unregulated munitions.
- Ours is the first state to establish groundwater standards for all six isomers of the cancer-causing explosive dinitrotoluene (DNT).
- The state also set an enforceable standard for perchlorate, a toxic component in propellants, which will be the lowest in the nation.
CSWAB is leading the way in protecting public health and our environment.
