The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recently launched Enviro-Nav (Environmental Responsibility Navigator), a new online tool designed to make environmental compliance easier for businesses across the state.

Developed by the DNR’s Sustainability and Business Support Program, Enviro-Nav guides users through a series of questions about their business operations. Whether the business is new, expanding or has compliance questions, Enviro-Nav will summarize potentially applicable environmental regulations based on users’ responses.

Enviro-Nav covers a range of environmental topics, including air emissions, water use and discharge and waste management. The tool features content for 18 different sectors and processes such as asphalt plants, demolition with asbestos removal, metal fabrication, printing, wood products, heating of commercial buildings and emergency generator use.

The tool can help identify regulatory requirements, improve the clarity of discussions with the DNR and support better decision-making during project planning and permitting. From evaluating facility upgrades, advising on site selection or investigating compliance questions regarding ongoing facility operations, Enviro-Nav can help streamline compliance efforts.
