FINDINGS OF FACT <br />1. Clarence Schmig has filed an application for a permit to place riprap or vegetated <br />armoring on the banks of Sand Lake, in the Town of Jackson, Burnett County, also <br />described as being in the SE1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 23, Township 40 North, <br />Range 15 West. <br />2. The project will consist of placing 50 feet of rock riprap along the shoreline to <br />prevent further erosion. The area above the ordinary high water mark will be re - <br />vegetated with native plantings. <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. Sand 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 and the rock and <br />native plantings will help prevent soil from washing into the lake. <br />10. The structure or deposit will not materially reduce the flood flow capacity of a stream <br />because the rock will be placed against the existing bank and the rock and plantings <br />will not create a dam or impoundment in Sand Lake. <br />CONCLUSIONS OF LAW <br />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 />
