Why is it important to identify Thermally Sensitive Areas? The Dane County Erosion Control and Stormwater Ordinance requires thermal control practices for development projects in Thermally Sensitive Areas (s. 14.51(2)(f) of the Dane County Code of Ordinances, and corresponding sections of city and village ordinances). The purpose of thermal controls is to protect Cold Water Communities from periodic extreme temperature increases associated with development.
How were the Thermally Sensitive Areas identified? The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) South Central Region provided a List of Cold Water Communities
to the Dane County Lakes and Watershed Commission in a letter dated October 9, 2000. The University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Dane County Land Conservation Department delineated the areas draining to these Cold Water Communities as Thermally Sensitive Areas. In October 2008, thermally sensitive watershed areas were updated per request from WDNR.
