Credit Certification Report

Permit holders wishing to receive credits should submit a Credit Certification Report to Wisconsin DNR. This template contains all of the necessary elements of a Credit Certification Report and was developed in consultation with Wisconsin DNR. Completing a Credit Certification Report is Step 1 of 6 in the WQT Steps for Buyers. After completing the Credit Certification Report, the Buyer should then complete a Notice of Intent (Step 2) to trade; a WQT Contract (Step 3); and a WQT Plan and WQT Checklist (Step 4). The WQT Checklist will serve as the cover letter for the WQT Application Packet (which contains: WQT Checklist, Credit Certification Report, WQT Contract Certification, WQT Plan) that is delivered by the Buyer to WDNR. The Credit Certification Report has three appendices: a Practice Locations Map, Operation and Maintenance Plans, and the Snap Plus P Trade Report.
