Summary
Marathon County staff told the committee they will appear before the state Land and Water Board on April 1 for a mandated five-year check-in; county staff said they have met or exceeded most plan goals and that the state Land and Water Bureau described the county documents as "phenomenal."
Marathon County staff told the county conservation committee that they will present a five-year check-in on the county's Land and Water Resource Management Plan to the state Land and Water Board on April 1.
Laurie (Conservation Planning and Zoning staff) said the five-year review is a routine DATCP-mandated check-in for counties that maintain a 10-year land-and-water plan; she said county staff have met or exceeded most of the plan's goal-setting parameters. Laurie reported receiving advance positive feedback from DATCP: "The documents that she received from us were phenomenal," Laurie said, summarizing a call from DATCP's Land and Water Bureau director.
Why it matters: Counties must update Land and Water Resource Management Plans every 10 years and provide a five-year status check to DATCP. Marathon County staff said they are prepared for the April 1 check-in and will not be available for the committee meeting on that date.
