VPLE Properties with a Certificate of Completion (COC)
A Voluntary Party Liability Exemption (VPLE) follows a
thorough environmental investigation and cleanup at a contaminated property. This fee-based option provides a limit on
future liability for the contamination. The DNR issues the liability exemption in the form of a Certificate of Completion
(COC), which can be passed along to new owners of the property. The certificate can help with real estate transactions where
prospective purchasers have concerns about contamination by assuring them the entire property has been cleaned up to the
satisfaction of DNR. Statutory authority of the VPLE is in Wis. Stats. 292.15 In the rare instance where more than one
Certificate of Completion was issued for a property, the most recent Certificate date will be shown.
