Stats. § 281.36(3g)(i) and 30.206(3r), to require an <br /> individual permit in lieu of a general permit, if the department has inspected the site and <br /> has determined that conditions specific to the site require additional restrictions on the <br /> on the activity to provide reasonable assurance that no significant adverse impacts to <br /> wetland functional values will occur, or to prevent significant adverse impacts to the <br /> public rights and interest, environmental pollution as defined in § 299.01(4), or material <br /> injury to the riparian rights of any riparian owner. <br /> 1.
