Starting a campground

objectives Partner with WACO to develop this presentation Help operators navigate licensing process Provide resources

timeline Zoning-months Licensing Variances-30 days Sanitary stations Planning and Organization will help you License application will guide you

Not always a completely linear process

Different scenarios: licensing Change in owner only License application Same owner, expansion to new license category

Different scenarios: plan review New owner, new campground or expanding what is there Plan review Same owner, any expansion (adding or changing type of attributes)

Quick terminology review Attribute: water distribution, toilet building, operator-provided camping unit, campsite Independent Camping Unit/Campsite: tanks for wastewater and potable water Dependent Camping Unit/Campsite: no toilet on-board New campsite: created on or after February 1, 2016

What’s the purpose of a plan review Provide guidance towards compliance at a time when changes can more easily be made Provide heads-up for something that may not work long-term (capacity) Provide code interpretation specific to proposed campground or expansion Help campground operator avoid building something that cannot meet the code

What will always be true Campsites: existing campsites (pre-Feb 1, 2016) ‘old code’ applies For new campsites Separation between campsites Fire rings (distances) Campsite marking

For Any NEW construction Campsites in a floodplain? County zoning or DNR Avoid headaches Is any new entrance safe? Traffic Licensed plumber Will well and septic be possible Number of campsites (separation)

What is the first thing I should do? Health inspector Plan review and/or licensing guidance

What is the other first thing I should do? Check with County Zoning approvals and other inspections Use of property and location Buildings Plumbing Campsites in floodplain (might be DNR)

What should I do next What are my options for the entrance, if there will be a new entrance? Large trucks and RVs (turning radius) Slow acceleration onto highway Highway departments

Next: water If well needed, is a well possible? Connections at the campsites? T’s Approved distribution systems No buried-hose systems Tap for Dependent campsites? High-capacity well? (peak demand)

Powts: what are options? Capacity considerations Central (one large or multiple?) or stand-alone Work with soil tester Plan out 10 years (future capacity) Any houses Toilets and showers Campsites Sanitary station (or future sanitary station)

What is happening with waste water? All Dependent Install toilets All with at least RV transfer tanks No sanitary station required Plan for disposal (on-site or contractor) All with sewer connection No sanitary station and no back up toilets required

When do I need to meet minimum number of toilets? If any campsites designated Dependent

When do I need 2 back-up toilets? Whenever an Independent campsite is not connected to a sewer RV transfer tank does not count here (capacity) Male/female fine

When do I need a sanitary station Independent campsites without RV transfer tank or sewer connection Variance can take 30 days (start early) Variance available for 20 or fewer Sanitary station must be within 25 miles/agreement State parks, municipal, truck stops

SO far so good? If adding water or sewer Licensed plumber Will work with relevant agencies Plumber submits plans to relevant agencies

DSPS issues Conditional approvals Water lines To campsites Within 400 feet of any Dependent Sewer For toilets For campsite Septic Sanitary station

Zoning issues sanitary permit They inspect at installation Will send maintenance notices

At this point you should know What the county requires (DSPS) What the DNR will require (well, flood plain) Ponds? If you need a toilets or a sanitary station

(Later on, After well constructed) You’ll need a ‘successful’ well construction report No problems reported by driller to DNR ‘Safe’ water sample

Next step: Draw your map It can be to-scale or You can just write in distances Dependent campsites to toilets Dependent campsites to water Any campsites to sanitary station Camping unit to camping unit likely distance Limit guest exposure to wells/POWTS

A few examples Architect drawing to-scale Any clear drawing with distances and attributes noted

This one would be simple and quick to review

Other drawings we have worked with

Needed to know about scale or distances for this otherwise very clear drawing Sometimes this is in an accompanying document If possible, put on main drawing (speeds up review) Consider size of rig at this point (pull-throughs) Traffic direction

This one was an expansion Additional information provided earlier (phases 1 and 2) Distances for new Independent sites noted at top Distances (width with RV, deck, shed)

Note distances indicated here for these independent units Turning radius One-way Distances

This next one needs work to help us understand what will be in place

This one needed a little work on water and toilets, all sites dependent

When you have your drawing(s) Complete the plan review application Compile approvals If any reports or approvals are pending, let reviewer know Include the drawing Submit your plans to your inspector or DATCP plan reviewer For DATCP if unsure, ask your inspector as they do some expansion reviews

Well documents Driller provides report to DNR If problem DNR notifies driller and owner Time period given for correction DNR also conducts site visits Sampling upon completion

Send it all in to reviewer Compile what you have Plans are reviewed More information may be requested

reviewer At DATCP (State-inspected areas) New campground: Mary Ellen Bruesch or Ted Tuchalski DATCPDFRS REC@wisconsin.gov Expansions, work with your inspector Agent inspected areas, work with inspectors

Plan approval example

Licensing inspection Verify plans Review documents Release license if appropriate
