DNR will hold two meetings on molybdenum pollution

The Department of Natural Resources says it will hold the first of three informational meetings on molybdenum in private wells in Caledonia on Feb. 21.

The first meeting is 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Trinity Lutheran Church and School, 7900 Nicholson Road in Caledonia.

Two more meetings are planned, including a second meeting on March 11.

Last month, the DNR said it was investigating well contamination in southeastern Wisconsin. An area affecting an estimated 11,000 wells is under review by the agency.

The DNR, local officials and well owners first learned of molybdenum at elevated levels in a handful of private wells in the Caledonia area in August 2009, according to the release. An extensive DNR study completed in January helped identify areas of Milwaukee, Waukesha and Racine counties that have elevated levels of molybdenum, but was unable to pinpoint the origin of the molybdenum.

Two more meetings have been planned, including a second scheduled for March 11, with additional details to be shared on the DNR website.

“We will provide as many chances as we can for the public to get information, express their concerns on the issue and offer input. We’re there to listen,” said Nitschke in the release.
