Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“MEA's finance committee, which is composed of members of the board of directors, reviews Form 990 before it is filed. The Form is made available to all members of the board of directors prior to filing.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“The Executive Director collects and reviews conflict of interest statements completed annually by each member of the board of directors, and communicates to applicable board and staff members any potential conflicts of interest. Board members who have a conflict of interest are expected to excuse themselves from participation in deliberation and decision making about matters involving the conflict.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“The board of directors authorizes the salary of the Executive Director, based partly on information obtained from informally surveying compensation paid by comparable organizations, most recently in 2015.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“MEA makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and audited financial statements available to members of the general public upon request.”

Form 990, Part VIII, Line 2A - 2E

“MEA did not litigate any cases during the year ended August 31, 2018 for which it sought or received fees from clients. However, MEA did receive fees of $44,917 for challenging a permit granted by Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to Meteor Timber, LLC, which would allow the filling of rare wetlands in western Wisconsin (Ho-Chunk Nation v. DNR). This would result in the largest destruction of a wetland of this type in recent history. MEA also received fees of $2,000 to challenge a settlement between Dairy Business Association and Wisconsin DNR that relaxed DNR rules governing water pollution by concentrated animal feedlot operations (DBA v. DNR); and fees of $1,600 to file an amicus brief on behalf of plaintiffs challenging the Wisconsin attorney general's ruling that DNR cannot take into account the cumulative impact of high capacity wells on groundwater levels when awarding water use permits (Clean WI v. DNR).”

IRS990/Desc0MEA provides legal and technical reviews of water and air pollution permits issued by the state of Wisconsin's Department of Natural Resources for adequacy and compliance with federal clean air and water laws. Timely review and legal action are essential to prevent the issuance of deficient permits that will further degrade the waters of Wisconsin, the Mississippi River basin, and the western Great Lakes. MEA's goal is to work with citizens to take legal action to ensure that environmental regulations protect the life, health, and property of communities in these watersheds.
