Editor's Notes
Land Acquistion needs a site plan. Wet/shoreland need a project plan. Step 1. Assessment Begin with collecting existing easy to obtain data including one year of basic water quality data. Level I. ID what is known about the lake, perceived problems and what people desire. An assessment characterizes the resource, determines ecological potential and sets general management strategy. Lays the groundwork for all future activities. If there are real problems that need restoration then more data may need to be collected – Level II & III Assessment DNR & partners agree on general lake management directions. Sets foundation for future management and avoids unnecessary planning. Check point for data entry into DNR system. Approved study plan including a commitment to phased planning grants. Step. 2.Management Plan - Creation of a management plan with specific management objectives. May proceed on single track i.e. APM, water quality, lake use, habitat or be comprehensive. Level of additional planning dependent on complexity of issues. Level I right to a plan. Step 3. Plan Approval - The sponsor adopts the plan after public and DNR and other agency’s input. Environmental Assessments and permits issued if required. Sponsor may apply for protection grants for implementation. This is always problem Step 4. - Implementation This approach underlies Admin Codes and all lake “policy”
Stake holders are anyone whose: interests are affected (or who think their interests are affected), power is enhanced or diminished, or have responsibility for some aspect of implementation. Political and social will to act to protect lakes is key. More the lake shore homeowners! Sportsmen clubs, water ski clubs Local, State and Fed gov’t - National Forest Farmers, land owners whose cooperation the success may Business Youth Avoiding controversy, or contentious issues or parties, failure to be inclusive from the start is a common and often fatal problem Roles should be clear. Two way responsibility = bring and take information, honest and open. Consider a facilitator Use sub teams or committees with specific charges
Appriasal check in and other points along the way Basic info all lakes should have and DNR has a lot of it. DNR review - ask for approval of plan, all some or part if there is a desire for implementation grants. We must approve the recommendations. Most DNR objections are based on unrealistic expectations, enhancements with out protections. Dead Pike Lake example. Iron floc. Water levels higher water for recreation, don’t consider the habitat impacts. Raised lakes are not restoration but are enhancements.
Action component to act on approved plan. Your not done yet. Details of how you will implement the plan.
History, Surveys, SH monitoring, data collection, education strategy SS can be for base line monitoring ie self help. This process of tiered assistance will be reinforced in codes and procedures. First goal should be to develop an appraisal to set directions Then a protection plan Then improvements if needed. Phased development.
