Motion Carried. 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. signed by 150 signatures Moved by B. E. Johnson and seconded by Nelson to refer the foregoing Petition to the Conservation Committee. Motion Carried. Moved by Lupa and seconded by Glenn Holman that the County Board make a tour of the southern part of the County on October 011 to inspect -and study the work of building dams and stream improvement by the Conservation Committee and to see the recreational areas of this part of the County.
