The State of Wisconsin claims its Department of Natural Resources has the authority to regulate ballast water treatment and discharge in the Great Lakes. Federal ballast water regulations have been stalled for several years. The move is being taken in an effort to curb the spread of invasive species in the Lakes. The State of Michigan recently passed legislation that requires oceangoing vessels that stop at Michigan ports to install ballast water treatment systems. The shipping industry is fighting state regulations to avoid being subject to a patchwork of standards.
On average, one new invasive species is discovered in the Great Lakes every six months, the majority of which can be traced back to contaminated ballast water from the ships that travel the St. Lawrence Seaway.
