OF NATURAL RESOURCES <br />Daniel Rossow <br />6162 24th Street N. <br />Oakdale, MN 55128 <br />Dear Mr. Rossow: <br />r1 rI FM' <br />AUG gig% <br />DNR RANGER STATION <br />810 West Maple St. <br />Spooner, WI 54801 <br />TELEPHONE 715-635-4061 <br />FAX 715-635-4012 <br />NW -C4232 <br />Thank you for sending additional information regarding your proposal along the shoreline of Birch <br />Island Lake in Burnett County. <br />Upon review of this information it appears that the amount and type of work exceeds that allowed by <br />both this Department and Burnett County Zoning. The intent of shoreline rules and regulations are to <br />allow property owners such as yourself an opportunity to protect their shoreline from erosion but still <br />protect the lake and adjacent shallow water areas from filling, erosion and other disturbance. These <br />areas are very important for the health of aquatic plants and animals, protection of water quality. <br />State law does not allow you to reclaim what shoreline was lost in previous years, however it does <br />allow placement of riprap or similar material to prevent erosion. Protection of the base of this slope <br />with 12 to 18 inches of riprap extending up to 2 feet lakeward would be something we could approve. <br />Enclosed is a brochure that outlines installation of riprap. If you decide to pursue installation of riprap <br />on your shoreline it will need to conform to the basic design standards in this brochure. Please review <br />this brochure and the enclosed sample application . I am also returning your application so you can <br />amend it. <br />Feel free to call me at 635-4097 if you have any questions regarding this matter. please change <br />Sin ely, <br />ohn Haack <br />Water Management Specialist <br />urnett County Zoning Administrator <br />Quality Natural Resources Management <br />Through Excellent Customer Service <br />Printed nn <br />Recycled <br />Paper <br />
