Please read the information below carefully before proceeding with the application. LSSIP is a one-time appropriation authorized as part of the 2025-2027 Wisconsin Biennial Budget (Act 15). This program aims to repair or replace deteriorated culvert crossings. Projects will be funded at up to a 90% state cost share. Eligibility Eligible projects must meet the following criteria: 1. The structure must be currently classified as a culvert. Culverts are structures underneath the roadway that are 20 feet or less in span but greater than 6 feet in span. It is permissible for the structure to extend over 20 feet after the improvement is completed. 2. Culverts that are part of a storm sewer system are not eligible for the LSSIP. 3. The culvert(s) involved in the project must have a condition rating of 4 or lower as determined by a certified bridge inspector. 4. The project sponsor must be the owner of the culvert(s) involved in the project. 5. The project sponsor must be a local unit of government. 6. The amount of paving included in this project should be limited to the minimum safe approach distance to the structure as defined by a certified engineering assessment. The cost of paving the roadway beyond a reasonable approach distance to the structure will be 100% the responsibility of the local sponsor. 7. The construction project to improve the structure should have a minimum projected design life of 10 years. 8. There is no municipal application limit for structures with Severe condition rating (0-2), there is a limit of 2 applications for structures with a Poor condition rating (3-4). 9. Applicants may submit multiple structures in a single application if these structures serve the same drainage function and are less than 20 feet apart. Deadline Project application deadline is no later than 5:00 pm on Friday, May 1, 2026. Early submission prior to the application deadline is encouraged. Late applications will not be accepted.

Webster Street Box 7921 Madison WI 53707-7921 May 14, 2026 Steven R Houte RU 40136 DPW Project Manager Village of Hales Corners 5635 S New Berlin Rd Hales Corners, WI 53130-1775 SUBJECT: Announcement of 2026 Recycling Grants to Responsible Units Dear Responsible Unit Contact: On behalf of the Governor, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is pleased to offer an award of $20,013.07 to your responsible unit to offset your recycling program costs during the current calendar year. This grant amount is composed of your Basic Recycling Grant + the Recycling Consolidation grant if you applied and are eligible. Remember that the total grant amount may not exceed projected net eligible costs as stated in your grant application. Basic Recycling Grant Award $20,013.07 Recycling Consolidation Grant Award $0.00 Calculating Your Basic Recycling Grant Your Basic Recycling grant amount was determined as prescribed by Wisconsin Statutes: 1- We identify your RU percentage of total available funds from 1999, then 2- We apply that percentage to the total available grant appropriation ($19,000,000). Calculating Your Recycling Consolidation Grant Per Wisconsin Statutes, the consolidation grant awards are calculated on a per capita basis. A total of 211 Responsible Units applied for this grant by the deadline and are eligible to receive this grant. The total population of all those eligible applicants is 4,133,698. The Legislature provided $1M for this program. So, the per capita rate is $0.241 per person in each Responsible Unit ($1,000,000 ÷ by population = $0.243 per person in eligible RUs). Timing of Grant Check The grant award payments will be issued as one check per responsible unit on or before June 1, 2026. Accepting Grant Conditions By endorsing the grant check, you are accepting this award and agree to comply with the grant conditions, the program's financial guidelines, and the assurances you signed in your grant application. Grant conditions can be found at the Basic Recycling Grant website under the “RESOURCES” tab: https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/aid/Recycling.html  Page 2 Important Reminders • If you spent less than the awarded amount within the current grant year, you will be required to repay the difference between your awarded amount and the actual amount you spent. A separate notification about this will be sent to affected RUs. • Your Recycling Grant Award is to be used for eligible expenditures directly related to the cost estimates submitted with your grant application—Estimated Budget Spreadsheet. • You will report actual 2026 recycling costs in the spring of 2027 Annual Report of Recycling Program Accomplishments. This Annual Report is necessary for maintaining continuity of data collection and to determine whether or not your total net eligible recycling costs matched or exceeded your grant award. We appreciate your efforts to recycle in Wisconsin. Should you have any questions about this letter or the recycling grant program, please contact Wendy Soleska, Grant Manager by e-mail at Wendy.Soleska@wisconsin.gov or by telephone number (608) 852-1358. Sincerely, Jim Ritchie, Director Community Financial Assistance C. Wendy Soleska – Grant Manager (via e-mail)
