Bob Becker, Dave Jacobson, Jerry Reickhoff and Bob Dreiss were presenting representing the DNR. Jacobson made the presentation to the board for the DNR. He again reviewed the history of the project informing the board that the DNR had become interested in the project because of their concern for preserving the area in its natural state. He reminded the board that the Bayfield County Board did initially ask the.DNR.to make.a study of the marsh area and he stated that the original master plan has been revised and in the last revision the boundaries have been changed so that there is now a total of about 13,500 acres within the boundaries. He pointed out on a map showing that an area intended for a look -out on the south side has been deleted and that a large area on the north side which included several farms has also been deleted.

He said that the DNR has no intention of condemning any property in the area, but that they cannot put language into the lease agreement definitely stating that the property will never be condemned. He said that condemning is done by the governor and legislature and not by the DNR Board and the DNR cannot put language into the lease restricting the powers of the legislature. He again stated as he has many times in the past that there are many more desirable parcels in the state that the DNR would wish to acquire and they still have not even condemned those parcels. r Several questions were raised by board members which were answered by Jacobson. Jacobson stated that he noted that the resolution provides for holding the decision of the County Board in abeyance and that the County Board was recommending that an Environmental Impact Statement ,I would be done at DNR expense with no charge to the county and he stated that was definitely so that there would not be any county participation in the cost.
