Last week Thursday, August 22nd I visited the site to <br /> have a closer look. Upon inspection I was unable to detect significant erosion problems on the <br /> adjacent lot. It appears that the dense vegetation and associated root mats are providing a stable <br /> shoreline at this time. <br /> State laws allow lakeshore owners, such as yourself, to protect your property from erosion by <br /> installing riprap or similar shoreline protection. However, because of the important habitat values of <br /> natural shorelines we do not issue permits for these areas unless an erosion problem is evident. <br /> I am enclosing a permit which allows you to riprap the 100 feet of shoreline directly in front of your <br /> cabin. Because of the condition of the remaining shoreline I am not issuing a permit for the <br /> remaining 126 feet. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this matter feel free to call me <br /> at 715-4097. <br /> Be egards, ALk <br /> ohn Haack <br /> Water Management Specialist <br /> cc.
