Shoreline Buffer Restoration Plan <br />Stephanie McCumber <br />27927 Sand Lake Rd. <br />Webster, WI 54840 <br />Buffer Restoration <br />The restored buffer must extend from the ordinary high water mark, 50 feet inland. Buffers consist of two major <br />components: The first component (35 feet deep) is a no -touch, natural vegetation zone and the second <br />component is a minimum maintenance zone. A single viewing/access corridor up to 35 feet wide for every full <br />100 feet of frontage, may cross both zones perpendicular to the shore. Vegetation removal, cutting, trimming <br />and land disturbing activities are prohibited in the no -touch zone. Limited pruning and mowing are <br />allowed in the viewing/access corridor and the minimum maintenance zone. Walkways, pathways and <br />stairs must be located in the viewing/access corridor; and piers, wharfs and lifts must be placed in the water <br />immediately in front of the corridor. <br />You will need to remove a large wood pile, as well as some pallet/dock sections and a canoe, that are all <br />stored within this no -touch zone. <br />The no -touch zone must be established and maintained from the ordinary high water mark and extend inland <br />thirty-five feet. The remaining buffer area, extending back to 50 feet and the 35 foot wide viewing/access <br />corridor must have adequate vegetative cover such as lawn grass. <br />Your access and viewing corridor has been raked to remove vegetation and create a "beach" area. The <br />buffer standard prohibits any bare soil within the access corridor. You will need to stop removing the <br />vegetation. You can still mow this area. <br />No Touch, Natural Vegetation Zone <br />There are two planting areas indicated on your site diagram. The smaller one north of your view corridor is <br />approximately 6 feet by 35 feet deep. The larger area is behind the existing natural vegetation and ice berm and <br />is approximately 15 feet by 36 feet. <br />Plant 2 trees and 3 native shrubs in the smaller planting area. Plant 5 trees and 8 shrubs in the larger <br />planting area. Instructions for planting are found in the landowner guide. Plan to water regularly the <br />first year to ensure plant survival. Allow existing vegetation to grow with no mowing or trimming. <br />*********VEGETATION NATIVE TO BURNETT COUNTY IS REQUIRED********* <br />The landowner guide includes appropriate plant lists and a list of businesses that provide native plants. These <br />plants are suited to the conditions of the property and will provide food and habitat for birds and animals around <br />the lake. Non-native vegetation planted in this zone as part of the restoration will be required to be <br />removed and replaced with native vegetation. <br />Tree Plantings <br />Plant at least 7 trees scattered throughout the two planting areas indicated on your site diagram. Species <br />recommendations are as follows: <br />Trees: Balsam Fir Abies balsamea 3 <br />Red Maple Acer rubrum 4 <br />
