Wisconsin Childhood Lead Poisoning Elimination Plan 

Mission

Wisconsin has adopted the mission to eliminate childhood lead poisoning in Wisconsin.

Phase 1: [Completed]

A strategic plan to eliminate childhood lead poisoning was completed in June, 2004: Wisconsin Childhood Lead Poisoning Elimination Plan (PDF, 6 MB). The Elimination Plan (PDF, 6 MB) was updated and revised in August 2006 . For the current year's workplan contact the Wisconsin Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program at 608-266-5817. 

Phase 2: [On-going]

Implementing and evaluating the Elimination Plan is actively ongoing. Subcommittees were formed to complete the activities set forth in the workplan (see current and past efforts). An advisory group, the Implementation and Oversight Committee (IOC), meets 2 to 3 times per year to track the progress of the subcommittees and make recommendations for action.

For details about upcoming meetings or who the members of the committee are, please contact the Wisconsin Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program, 608-266-5817. 

Subcommittees

Initially four subcommittees were formed to implement the activities included in the four major areas of the elimination plan. In 2009, the Funding and Resources and Correcting Hazards in Housing subcommittees combined their efforts. The subcommittees meet independently of the IOC and report their progress at each IOC meeting. For details of activities and meeting dates, contact the subcommittee chair listed below.
