Land & Water Conservation reports lake monitoring, erosion projects and NRDA/SWRM‑funded culvert work on County J Road
Summary
The Land & Water Conservation Department told the committee it installed lake level monitoring stations on five lakes, worked with eight riparian landowners on erosion issues, and secured NRDA and SWRM funding to fix recurring ditch erosion and a failing culvert near the Oconto River on County J Road.
The Land & Water Conservation Department reported multiple field and outreach activities: staff "installed lake level monitoring stations on 5 lakes" (installed in spring, removed before ice) and said volunteers record lake levels. Staff also reported working with eight riparian landowners on erosion issues and partnering with the Town of Lakewood on two recurring erosion sites.
Significantly, staff said a project was approved using NRDA and SWRM funding to address recurring ditch erosion and a large failing culvert near the Oconto River on County J Road; the plan is to install the repair this summer in coordination with the highway department. Staff also noted two WDNR manure audits conducted in response to runoff complaints and described multiple education events held for students and lake associations.
