Webster, WI 54893 Yellow Lake Buffer Restoration The restored buffer must extend from the ordinary high water mark, 50 feet inland on Class 1 lakes such as Yellow Lake. Buffers consist of two major components: The first is a no-touch, natural vegetation zone and the second is a minimum maintenance zone. A single viewing/access corridor up to 30 feet wide may cross both zones perpendicular to the shore. Vegetation removal, cutting, trimming and land disturbing activities are prohibited in the no-touch zone. Limited pruning and mowing are allowed in the viewing/access corridor and the minimum maintenance zone. Walkways, pathways and stairs must be located in the viewing/access corridor; piers, wharfs and lifts must be placed in the water immediately in front of the corridor. The no-touch zone must be established and maintained from the ordinary high water mark and extend inland thirty-five feet. The remaining buffer area, extending back to 50 feet and the 30 foot viewing corridor must be vegetated. Viewing/Access Corridor The viewing corridor and minimum maintenance area (from 35 to 50 feet from the ordinary high water mark) must be vegetated to prevent erosion. Viewing corridors must be located at least 10 feet from the property line with a minimum separation of at least 30 feet between designated viewing corridors. Much of your view corridor is now bare soil. Your view corridor must be vegetated, however it can be mowed. For the portion of bare soil in your view corridor you can plant lawn type grasses. I recommend a mix with a high percentage of creeping red fescue, tall fescue, fine fescue and perennial ryegrass. You should seed according to manufacturer recommendations and then cover with erosion mat. No Touch, Natural Vegetation Zone Plant native trees and shrubs and a temporary seeding of annual rye. Instructions for planting are found in the landowner guide. Plan to water regularly the first year to ensure plant survival. Allow existing vegetation to grow with no mowing or trimming.
