Wisconsin Childhood Lead Poisoning Elimination Plan 2010

Mission

Wisconsin has adopted the mission to eliminate childhood lead poisoning in Wisconsin by 2010. 

Phase 1: [Completed]

Developing a strategic plan to eliminate childhood lead poisoning was completed by June 30, 2004. For more information about this phase, click here. The original Wisconsin Childhood Lead Poisoning Elimination Plan (PDF, 6160KB) was updated and revised in August 2006 (PDF, 6118KB).

Phase 2: [On-going]

Implementing and evaluating the Elimination Plan is actively ongoing. Four subcommittees meet year round to implement the activities set forth in the four major areas of the workplan. An advisory group, the Implementation and Oversight Committee (IOC), meets 3 times per year (January, May, and September) to track the progress of the subcommittees and make recommendations for action. For details about upcoming meetings, please contact the Wisconsin Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program, 608-266-5817. 

Subcommittees

Four subcommittees were formed to implement the activities included in the four major areas of the elimination plan. 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.
