Notice of Pending Application for Proposed Miscellaneous Structures
The Tri-Lakes Management District (Attn: Carl Hasdahl), 1555 Apache Ave., Nekoosa, WI 54457 has applied to the WI Department of Natural Resources for a permit to install Miscellaneous Structures. The project is located in SW 1/4, NE 1/4, Section 16 Township 20N, Range 06E located in Town of Rome, Adams County, WI.
The proposed project will include installing 10 nanobubbler / water treatment units on each of the Tri-Lakes Management District lakes (Lake Sherwood, Lake Camelot and Lake Arrowhead) for the purpose to reduce algal blooms and improve overall water quality. Units will be installed within riparian zones near shore and will have surface marker buoys to identify units and monitoring devices. Weekly monitoring will occur by the consultant in partnership with UW-Stevens Point, and results provided to the WI DNR. While in operation, the units will not disturb or resuspend lakebed sediment or aquatic vegetation. Units will be installed in spring and removed before winter / freezing ice conditions.
The Department will review the proposal provided by the applicant and any information from public comments and the public informational hearing. The Department will determine whether the proposal complies with ss. 1.11, 30.12, 30.208, Wis. Stats., and ch. NR 150, Wis. Adm. Code. The Department has made a tentative determination that it will issue the permit.
