Lucey signs six environmental bills in Madison action
Governor Patrick J. Lucey signed six environmental measures including a new statewide snowmobile regime with noise limits and a $9 three year registration. He vetoed two snowmobile provisions shifting trail standard setting to counties, and kept DNR board in charge of trail standards. The package also adopts an environmental policy act and bans mercury dumping while limiting wildlife on endangered lists. It expands DNR influence on waterways and dam projects and allows sewerage units to run solid waste facilities. Minimum snowmobile age is sixteen, with 12 year olds allowed with supervision or a safety certificate.
