RESTORATION PLAN' Robert and Jolene Buberl 28203 Bonner Lake Road Comp. No. 012.4224.05.600 Correcting the shoreline violation requires removing all fill placed in the wetland area. The wetland area was flagged previously. Native trees, shrubs, and groundcovers must also be replanted. Wetland fill must be removed, and trees and shrubs must be planted and temporary seeding of annual rye grain must be completed by October 15, 2005. Material removed from the wetland should be used to reform the ice ridge at the shoreline. Establishment of permanent groundcover vegetation must be completed by June 30, 2006. Buffer Restoration The restored buffer must extend from the ordinary high water mark 50 feet inland on Class 2 lakes such as Bonner Lake. This buffer restoration focuses on the area that was disturbed by the wetland excavation and nearby disturbed areas. 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 viewing/access 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 Shoreline Buffer Restoration Guide for Landowners provides planting instructions, plant lists and sources, and additional guidance for your restoration project. It will be mailed under separate cover. prepared by Cheryl Clemens,Dragonfly Consulting,on behalf of the Burnett County Land and Water Conservation Department.
