FINDINGS OF FACT 1. Paula Dassbach has filed an application for a permit to install riprap on the banks of Round Lake, in the Town of Trade Lake, Burnett County, also described as being in the SE1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 27, Township 37 North, Range 18 West. 2. The property owner wishes to install fieldstone rip-rap and fabric along approximately 300-feet of shoreline. It is anticipated that site preparation for a winter install will occur during the months of January or February. With a winter install, none of the existing vegetation above or below the OHWM will be damaged. There is good general vegetation cover along all of the existing shoreline as this is an undeveloped parcel. 3. The Department has completed an investigation of the project site and has evaluated the project as described in the application and plans. 4. Round Lake is a navigable water (and no bulkhead exists at the project site.) 5, The proposed project, if constructed in accordance with this permit will not adversely affect water quality, will not increase water pollution in surface waters and will not cause environmental pollution as defined in s. 283.01(6m), Wis. Stats. 6. The proposed project will not impact wetlands if constructed in accordance with this permit. 7. The Department of Natural Resources has determined that the agency's review of the proposed project constitutes an equivalent analysis action under s. NR 150.20(2), Wis. Adm. Code. The Department has considered the impacts on the human environment, alternatives to the proposed projects and has provided opportunities for public disclosure and comment. The Department has completed all procedural requirements of s. 1.11(2)(c), Wis. Stats., and NR 150, Wis. Adm. Code for this project. 8. The Department of Natural Resources and the applicant have completed all procedural requirements and the project as permitted will comply with all applicable requirements of Sections 30.12(3m), Wisconsin Statutes and Chapters NR 102, 103, of the Wisconsin Administrative Code. 9. The structure or deposit will not materially obstruct navigation because the rock will be placed up on the existing bank. 10.The structure or deposit will not be detrimental to the public interest because fish and wildlife will still have access to the shoreline after placement or riprap and help prevent soil erosion.
