Parks director flags Wolf River dam generator issue, ash‑tree removals and sturgeon habitat work
Summary
Staff reported a Wolf River dam generator failure upstream that could cause unstable winter water levels, outlined ash‑tree mortality and wood‑chip disposal options, and said DNR staff have proposed larger riprap to improve sturgeon spawning habitat along the river.
Parks staff reported several operational items on Jan. 7, including a reported generator failure at an upstream Wolf River dam, widespread ash tree mortality and a DNR recommendation to place larger riprap in parts of the river to improve sturgeon spawning habitat.
These items matter because fluctuating water levels can damage shoreline infrastructure and affect winter ice safety; the ash‑tree die‑off will generate large volumes of wood to manage; and sturgeon‑habitat improvements could require coordination with the Wisconsin DNR.
