The following Petition was read:
August 15, 1962
Bayfield County Board
Washburn, Wisconsin
Gentlemen:
We; the undersigned, hereby petition your honorable body to help correct the
Water situation on Totogatic Lake, located in the southern part of Bayfield County in
Township 43 North, Range 8 West, which at present is in a very deplorable state.
September-25, 1962
At the present time the lake is approximately four feet -lower than normal. If
this condition is permitted to continue, there will be a large winter kill of fish -
if not a complete kill - this coming winter.
There is considerable aquatic vegetation in this lake and, as a result, the
available oxygen in the water is used up when we have a cold winter and little snow.
The decaying vegetation uses up the available oxygen. This situation has been re-
peated every few years. It is one of our better fishing lakes when the fish.popula-
tion has been restored, after the winter kills.
We are enclosing a report covering a survey of one winter kill, simply as.an
example.
This lake has been an excellent fishing lake and has also supported good duck
hunting. With proper management it can do so again.
We ask that a provision be made in the budget.for engineering services and for
the County's share of constructing a dam to keep the water at a suitable level.

Moved by Lupa and seconded by Glenn Holman that the County Board make a tour

BE IT RESOLVED by the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors assembled in session
