FINDINGS OF FACT <br /> 1. Amy Hen has filed an application for a permit to place 75 feet of riprap on the banks <br /> of Birch Island Lake, in the Town of Scott, Burnett County, also described as being in <br /> the SE1/4 of the NE114 of Section 19, Township 40 North, Range 14 West. <br /> 2. The project will consist of placing 75 feet of rock riprap along the shoreline in order <br /> to prevent further erosion. The area above the rock is left with its natural vegetation. <br /> The project will be done over the ice in the winter. <br /> 3. The Department has completed an investigation of the project site and has evaluated <br /> the project as described in the application and plans. <br /> 4. Birch Island Lake is a navigable water. <br /> 5. The proposed project, if constructed in accordance with this permit will not adversely <br /> affect water quality, will not increase water pollution in surface waters and will not <br /> cause environmental pollution as defined in s. 283.01(6m), Wis. Stats. <br /> 6. The proposed project, if constructed in accordance with this permit will not adversely <br /> affect wetlands. <br /> 7. The Department of Natural Resources and the applicant have completed all <br /> procedural requirements and the project as permitted will comply with all applicable <br /> requirements of Sections 1.11, 30.12(3), Wisconsin Statutes and Chapters NR 102, <br /> 103, 150, 299, and 328, of the Wisconsin Administrative Code. <br /> 8. The structure or deposit will not materially obstruct navigation because the rock will be <br /> placed against the existing bank. <br /> 9. The structure or deposit will not be detrimental to the public interest because fish and <br /> wildlife will be able to access the shoreline after the rock is placed. <br /> 10.The structure or deposit will not materially reduce the flood flow capacity of a stream <br /> because the rock will be placed up against the existing shoreline and not create a dam <br /> or impoundment in Birch Island Lake. <br /> CONCLUSIONS OF LAW <br /> 1. The Department has authority under ch. 30, Wis. Stats., and ch. NR 328, Wis. Adm. <br /> Code, to issue a permit for the construction and maintenance of this project. <br /> 2. The Department has complied with s. 1.11, Wis. Stats. <br />
