RESTORATION PLAN' Frank and Deanne Reinhardt 25526 S. Dam Road Clam River Comp. No. 018.3326.01.900 Buffer Restoration The restored buffer must extend from the ordinary high water mark 75 feet inland on rivers in Burnett County. Buffers consist of two major components: the first component (35 feet deep) is a no-touch, natural vegetation zone, and the second component 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 viewingiaccess corridor and the minimum maintenance zone. Walkways, pathways, and stairs must be located in the viewing/access corridor; and piers, wharfs, and lifts must be placed in water immediately in front of the corridor. The no-touch zone must be established and maintained from the ordinary highwater mark and extend inland as indicated on the site plan. The remaining buffer area, extending back to 75 feet, must remain vegetated. The Shoreline Buffer Restoration Guide for Landowners provides planting instructions, plant lists and sources, and additional guidance for your restoration project. An order form from the Burnett County Annual Tree and Shrub sale is included for your information. This is an economical source of native trees, shrubs, and groundcovers that you could choose for your project. No Touch, Natural Vegetation Zone Do not mow,trim, or otherwise maintain existing groundcover, trees, or shrubs in the no- touch zone. ***Vegetation native to Burnett County is required for the restoration.******* The landowner guide includes appropriate plant lists and a list of businesses that provide native plants. These plants are suited to the conditions of the property, and will provide food and habitat for birds and animals around the lake. Non-native vegetation planted in this zone as part of the restoration may be required to be removed and replaced with native vegetation. Groundcovers The river bank is already well vegetated. This area of high growth must be extended back prepared by Cheryl Clemens, Harmony Environmental,on behalf of the Burnett County Land and Water Conservation Department.
