A small area on Tax IDfts 1339 & 1341 will be used to create additional parking area (21 parking spots) for use by both the Campground and the Bar. Each camping site (minimum size of 30' X 50') will have a compacted gravel pad, 2 parking spots, and be served by water and a conventional sanitary system. The site is internally drained and the WESLIE Engineering Group has designed a stormwater management plan to handle all the runofffrom the campground and parking area. The stormwater plan will be submitted to WDNR for approval upon approval of the CUP. Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be followed to minimize any negatives impacts from the construction of the campground and parking areas and/or post construction erosion. The soils on the property are very sandy and provide excellent infiltration for both stormwater and sanitary effluent. The sanitary system has been designed and will be installed byAndry Rasmussen & Sons located in Cable, Wl. The bar and a rental cabin are located on Tax ID# 1339 and there is 1 rental cabins and two garages on Tax ID# 1341. Access to the resort/campground is from a Town Road (Fahrner Resort Road). Robinson Lake is an 89 acre lake that is connected by a navigable channel to Birch Lake (129 acres) and from Birch you can access Upper Eau Claire Lake (996 acres) by going through the box culvert on Lake Road. The box culvert is going to be replaced to accommodate larger boats. The project will be paid for by a Robinson Lake property owner. From Upper Eau Claire Lake it may be possible access Devil's, Smith, Shunenberg, and Sweet (Swett) Lakes. There is a public boat landing on Robinson Lake. The Dalbecs are envisioning operating a "high quality" campground with sites renting for $4,000 a year. The Dalbecs are in the process of relocating to a year round home on Sweet Lake. Currently they have a "bunk house" on Sweet Lake.

Michael Furtak North Star Realtors .(715).372-59Qp Office .(.715).817-2p34 Cell Ruth Hulstrom From: Michael Furtak <mfurtak11@gmail.com> Sent: Saturday, February 18, 2023 9:11 AM To: Ruth Hulstrom Subject: RE: CUP Campground Request Ruth, In response to the questions from the February 14th e-mail: Application: 1. The entire campground and parking area will be on tax parcel #1283. The last 2 pages of the supplement I submitted yesterday are the revised site plan. The RV sites all meet the 40 foot setback. Parking spots have never been subject to the 40 foot setback. 2. Some camping units may be stored on-site and some will be relocated taken offsite per the RV owner's discretion. 3. The access drives will be 16 feet. 4. Camping units will be limited to 30 feet in length. 5. The bar and resort (Fahrner's Resort) was established in 1949. years. It is "grandfathered-in". 6. The cabins are short term rentals and are also "grand fathered-in". 7. The "tracking pad" is the ingress/egress entrance point. A tracking pad is a "best management practice" device to minimize material leaving the site on the tires or tracks of equipment and then being deposited on the Town road. 8. The red lines indicate the easement location as it currently exists. It will be upgraded and maintained in it's current location at Mr. Dalbec's expense. The property to the South (Kearns) also has another access driveway to his property. Currently the easement road has not been plowed by Mr. Kearns and is impassable in a vehicle. 9. After construction of the campground is completed if it is determined that the current vegetation is not sufficient to meet the requirements of Sec. 13-l-28(b)(6) the owner/applicant will plant the vegetation to meet the ordinance requirement. This can be a condition of the CUP.

See attached Supplement #1 from the Robinson Lake Campground EIA. When I receive comments from DNR or Army Corps on permits this is how we usually address them. I don't make a new EIA.

Please provide responses to comments below by next Monday, February 20th. Application: 1. Tax ID# 1339 was created through a CSM and is deemed a stand-a-alone lot. Since the development is proposing to overlap parcel boundaries. Tax ID#s 1283,1339, and 1341 will need to be combined in some way to address the required 40-foot setbacks to all property lines, see Sec. 13-l-28(c). 2. How are the camping units proposed to be stored? 3. What is the anticipated width of the access drives within the proposed development? 4. Given the proposed camping site dimensions (30'x50') and anticipation of two parking stalls per site, does the owner anticipate limiting the size of camping units or vehicles? 5. How long has a bar been located on Tax ID# 1339? If the parking is partially for bar use, then it would be good to note this officially as part of the request. Current ordinance requires a bar use in a R-RB zoning district obtain a CUP. 6. Are the rental cabins, short-term rentals? No short-term rental permits are on file for either Tax ID#s 1339 or #1341. 7. What is the tracking pad noted on the site plan? Can identification of the drive ingress/egress be noted on the site plan? 8. What are the red tines/shape indicating on the site plan, the proposed or existing road? It looks like the proposed parking area might be altering the existing drive access for properties to the south. Is there an easement over the property/ies that give access rights to the property owners to the south? Have any access changes related to the proposed development been communicated/addressed with the property owners to the south? 9. How is the owner/applicant proposing to verify they are meeting Sec. 13-1- 28(b)(6), see below, as it pertains to development near the roadway. (6) Unless opaquely screened! by exisling vegetative cover, all paAs shall be screened fay a temporary planting of fast-growing material capable of reaching a height of fifteen (15) feet or more. such as hybrid poplar, and a permanent evergreen planting such as Norway pine, the indivkluat trees to be such a number and so arranged thai within ten (10) years of planting to be such a number and so arranged that within ten (10) years of ptanting they wlEI have formed an opaque screen.

The proposed campground development is located on three parcels all adjacent to one another and identified as Tax ID#s 1283, 1339, and 1341 in the Town of Barnes. These three parcels are zoned R-RB, Residential-Recreational Business and total approximately 6.2 acres. A campground use requires a CUP in the R-RB zoning district. Tax \D# 1339 and #1341 have shoreline frontage on Lake Robinson. All three parcels are located within the shoreland zone or within 1000 feet of a lake. Most of the campground development is proposed to be located on Tax IDS 1283 with portions of the driveways and the trash dumpster currently shown on the other two parcels. Initially the applicant had proposed 21 parking spots for use by both the proposed campground and existing bar (located on Tax ID# 1339). More recent plans show 11 parking spots. The applicant is proposing each camp site be a minimum of 30'x50' with two parking spots. Given that the applicant proposes two parking spots per site, no additional parking lot is needed to meet Sec. 13-1-28(b)(5) parking space requirements. ATCP 79.03(34) defines an RV or "Recreational vehicle" as "a vehicle that has walls of rigid construction, does not exceed 45 feet in length, is designed to be towed upon a highway by a motor vehicle or has a motor of its own, and is equipped and used, or intended to be used, primarily for temporary or recreational human habitation. A recreational vehicle includes camping trailers, motor homes, and park models". The applicant has indicated that camping units will be restricted to 30 feet in length. The access drives are anticipated to be 16 feet in width. An Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) is included with this request. As noted in the EIA, "Soil erosion during construction and increased runoff from added impervious areas and loss of habitat are some concern". The applicant has indicated that "stormwater and melt water runoffwill be treated onsite to the requirements of NR151 and NR216 code via an infiltration basin". Additionally, the EIA notes, "the site is internally drained and has small risk of sediment laden water leaving the site and entering Robinson Lake. Disturbance on steep slopes, once completed, will require immediate revegetation and installation of erosion matting". It should be noted that the Department has concerns about the proximity of the septic tank and drainfield to the proposed stormwater basin since a large amount of water would be running over these components and possibly lead to hydro loading of the drainfield. The area to be disturbed or developed is not directly adjacent to Robinson Lake shoreline. However, the applicant had initially indicated that the parking lot to be developed would be utilized by both the existing bar, which has direct shoreline access, and the proposed campground. If the proposed parking lot was anticipated to be used for the existing bar, the Department would assume this would increase the traffic impact/load to the area. The EIA states the following in terms of traffic loads related to the proposed development, "Robinson Lake Rd and E Robinson Lake Rd are 22 ft two-lane roads with an ADT of 15-50 vehicles. The campground would add traffic from up to 28 RV sites". It does not address the anticipated traffic load that would occur due to the use of the proposed parking lot by the existing bar. Additionally, no information was included in the EIA related to traffic impacts/loads on Fahrner Rd. The applicant has indicated that there is an existing easement road, outlined in red on the site drawings provided. The applicant made the following statements when asked about clarifying how the proposed driveway accesses for the campground would interact with the existing driveway access for the lots located south of the proposed development: "The property to the South has another access driveway. The property owner has not plowed the easement road you are so concerned about so it can't be very critical to him. Secondly don't forget that Dalbec (the applicant) owns the land where the easement road is located". "Once again the easement road that serves the property to the South (Kearns) is indicated by the red lines on the site plan. It will be in the same location upon completion of the campground as it currently. The easement is a private matter between the neighbors. In the past the Zoning Department has not injected itself to enforce easements and/or deed restrictions between private parties.." "If necessary the easement for ingress and egress across Tax ID# 1341 can be added to the CSM# 286. This can be a condition of approval if necessary." Approximately 3-6 lots, including the tots owned by the Dalbecs, utilize Farhner Rd for access to their lots. The Department has concerns regarding the increased traffic loads on Fahrner Rd related to the campground development and how the proposed campground driveway accesses will interact with the existing access road that provides ingress/egress for lots south of the proposed development. Additionally, the current location of the dumpster does not allow for convenient front and back loading into the site for servicing without blocking the access road. The applicant has indicated that they can relocate the dumpster, if needed and noted the following, "The dumpster location will be determined by the vendor and owner/applicant per considerations of public health and safety/access for service/and aesthetics". ATCP 79.12(a) states the following, "Access to a campground shall be designed to minimize congestion and hazards at the entrance and exit". Neither the EIA nor site drawings provided indicate the amount of vegetation to remain or be removed. Thus, there is no way for the Department to verify whether the proposed development meets the required screening requirements as outlined in Sec. 13-1-28(b)(6), which states the following: (6) Unless opaquely screened by existing vegetative cover, all parks shall be screened by a temporary planting of fast-growing material capable of reaching a height of fifteen (15) feet or more, such as hybrid poplar, and a permanent evergreen planting such as Norway pine, the individual trees to be such a number and so arranged that within ten (10) years of planting to be such a number and so arranged that within ten (10) years of planting they will have formed an opaque screen. Such permanent planting shall be grown or maintained at a height of no less than fifteen (15) feet. (®®)e/i/i976) When asked about the matter, the applicant responded with the following statements: "After construction of the campground is completed if it is determined that the current vegetation is not sufficient to meet the requirements of Sec. 13-1-28(b)(6) the owner/applicant will plant the vegetation to meet the ordinance requirement. This can be a condition of the CUP." "How can we submit a screening plan if we don't know vegetation is going to be removed?" Note that the Department was made aware that the Town of Barnes will not have an opportunity to provide their input until after the March 16th Planning and Zoning Committee meeting. They anticipate addressing the matter at their April 18th meeting. If the Committee deems it appropriate to approve the campground CUP, the Department recommends the following conditions be added: 1) Site drawings be provided to the Department showing amount of vegetation to be removed and to remain so Department can verify that the proposed development will meet screening requirements of Sec. 13-1-28(b)(6) and/or the applicant contact the Department upon completion of the project so staff can verify the screening requirements of 13-1-28(b)(6) have been met. 2) An ingress/egress or access easement be provided giving adequate access to lots located south of the proposed campground development. The easement is required to be reviewed and approved by the Department to verify the location will limit congestion and/or traffic hazards between the proposed campground and the existing driveway access to the lots south of the proposed development. 3) Appropriate permits from the DNR and Public Health Department be obtained and provided to the Department. 4) Site drawings be provided to the Department that show the location of the dumpster once it has been approved by the vendor and Public Health Department. 5) Camping units are restricted to 30 feet in length. 6) Provide updated site drawings eliminating the additional parking lot since adequate parking space is provided within each proposed camping site, meeting the requirements of 13-1-28(b)(5). z^o-aoss CO BAYFBLD COUNTY PLANNINd & ZONINfi DEPARTMENT Bayfield County Courthouse Telephone: (715) 373-6138 Post Office Box 58 Fax: (715)373-0114 117 East Fifth Street E-mail: zoninflObavfieldcounty.wi.gov Washburn, Wl 54891 Web Site: www.bavfieldcountv.wi.gov/zonina MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Zoning Committee Members FROM: Ruth Hulstrom DATE: March 14, 2023 RE: Gregory and Kimberly Dalbec Campground CUP (Town of Barnes) Gregory and Kimberly Dalbec, property owners, and Mike Furtak, agent, are requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a campground with 28 RV sites with water/sewer hook-ups, parking lot, storm water infrastructure, dumpster and well house. The proposed campground development is located on three parcels all adjacent to one another and identified as Tax ID#s 1283, 1339, and 1341 in the Town of Barnes. These three parcels are zoned R-RB, Residential-Recreational Business and total approximately 6.2 acres. Campground use requires a CUP in the R-RB zoning district. Tax ID# 1339 and #1341 have shoreline frontage on Lake Robinson. All three parcels are located within the shoreland zone or within 1000 feet of a lake. Most of the campground development is proposed to be located on Tax ID# 1283 with portions of the driveways and the trash dumpster currently shown on the other two parcels. Initially the applicant had proposed 21 parking spots for use by both the proposed campground and existing bar (located on Tax ID# 1339). More recent plans show 11 parking spots. The applicant is proposing each camp site be a minimum of 30'x50' with two parking spots.

The campground would add traffic from up to 28 RV sites". No information was included in the EIA related to traffic impacts/loads on Fahrner Rd. Additionally, it did not address the anticipated traffic toad that could occur due to the use of the proposed parking lot by the existing bar. No mention of the traffic generated by the existing bar and short-term rentals was noted within the EIA. Given that there are two parking stalls provided for each camp site, that could equate to an additional 224 vehicle trips generated per day on Fahrner Rd. There is uncertainty as to whether the existing town road design could support the additional traffic load created by the campground without further analysis. The applicant has indicated that there is an existing easement road, outlined in red on the site drawings provided. The applicant made the following statements when asked about clarifying how the proposed driveway accesses for the campground would interact with the existing driveway access for the lots located south of the proposed development: "The property to the South has another access driveway. The property owner has not plowed the easement road you are so concerned about so it can't be very critical to him.

The easement is required to be reviewed and approved by the Department to verify the location will limit congestion and/or traffic hazards between the proposed campground and the existing private road access to the lots south of the proposed development. 3) Appropriate permits from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Bayfield County Public Health Department be obtained and provided to the Department. 4) Provide updated site drawings to the Department that show the location of the dumpster once it has been approved by the vendor and Bayfield County Public Health Department. 5) Camping units are restricted to 30 feet in length. 6) Provide updated site drawings eliminating the additional parking lot since adequate parking space is provided within each proposed camping site, meeting the requirements of 13-1-28(b)(5). 7) Limit the number of camp sites given the existing road design of Fahrner Rd. or require the developer upgrade the existing road so it can handle the proposed traffic to be generated by the campground. Deny or table the request because it does not include enough detail to determine that the request meets the Ordinance requirements. 1) Request that plans be submitted to Bayfield County Public Health for review to verify that proposed campground will meet all requirements ofATCP 79. 2) Request that documentation be provided to the DNR to verify that the proposed campground will meet stormwater requirements. 3) Request that updated site drawings be submitted clearly showing the following: a. Vegetation removal and/or installation to verify the proposed campground development meets Sec. 13-1- 28(b)(6). b. Existing Fahrner Rd and private roads servicing properties to the south of the proposed campground. 4) If needed, request applicant provides a new private road easement to limit congestion and/or traffic hazards between the proposed campground and existing private road access to the lots to the south of the proposed development. 5) Request additional information related to traffic generated by existing use of Fahrner Rd. and proposed use of the campground.

Box 58 Washbum, WI 54891 RE: Request for Conditional Use Permit, Gregory and Kimberly Dalbec, Town ofBames Dear Town ofBarnes Supervisors, On behalf of the board of directors of Friends of the Eau Claire Lakes Area, I am submitting this letter m regard to the subject request for conditional use permit. Our organization was incorporated in 1973 for the purpose of protecting and improving the environmental and aesthetic qualities of the Eau Claire Lakes Area watershed, the headwaters to the "wild and scenic" St. Croix River. Our membership includes 225 households. Much of our work focuses on the water quality of the lakes in our service area. We collaborate with the Town ofBames on projects involving AIS remediation, Clean Boats Clean Waters, and shoreline protection efforts. We also work with the WDNR to monitor lake water quality and administer Healthy Lakes & Rivers grants. Three of our lakes - Upper Eau Claire Lake, Middle Eau Claire Lake and Lower Eau Claire Lake - are designated as Outstanding Resource Waters that provide outstanding recreational opportunities while supporting valuable fisheries and wildlife habitat. Unfortunately, two of these lakes (Upper Eau Claire and Lower Eau Claire) are currently on the State's 303(d) Impaired Waters List for high phosphorus levels. High phosphoms can lead to algal blooms and excessive plant growth that can harm fish and limit recreation. While the exact sources of the phosphorus in our lakes cannot be pinpointed, we know phosphorus comes from practices on the land. We are exploring ways to educate the public on ways we can lower nutrient levels in our lakes. We are concerned by the Dalbecs' proposal to place 28 RV sites on a 4-acre parcel near Robinson Lake. The campground is proposed to be constructed on a forested hillside with an approximate slope of 20%. Although the applicant has not produced a grading plan showing finished site contours, it appears that the entire campsite footprint and adjacent areas will be entirely cleared and grubbed to re-grade the site to accommodate a campground. As a result, hundreds of square feet of forest will be destroyed, temporarily leaving highly credible sandy soil exposed. Both temporary and permanent soil stabilization will be extremely challenging on the steeply sloped site and as such will be an ongoing environmental threat to Robinson Lake. WWW.FRIENDSOFEAUCLAIRELAKESAREA.COM Friends of the Eau Ckcire Lakes Area • PO Box 1308 • Hayward, Wl 54843 - 1308 Bayfield County Planning and Zoning Committee Page 2 March 7, 2023 The EIA states each RV site will contribute 30 gallons per day (GPD) to the waste system. "High quality" RV site designers suggest 100 to 120 GPD when the RV is hooked up to water and sewer. Potentially, the proposed system may be unable to adequately treat the large wastewater discharge from modem RVs. At any rate, the proposed large- scale septic system required to handle the needs of campers in the 28 sites will be the source of considerable effluent containing phosphorus and nitrate. The EIA does not address groundwater flow. Because groundwater typically flows toward a lake, we are concerned about the potential degradation of water quality in Robinson Lake and private wells that lie in the path of the groundwater flow from the septic drain field. We are further concerned that the stormwater infiltration system will add significant groundwater downgradient of the wastewater drain field, further flushing nutrients into Robinson Lake. Robinson Lake has an outlet to the already- impaired waters of Upper Eau Claire Lake via Birch Lake, so eventually what appears in the waters of Robinson Lake will appear downgradient. We understand there is considerable resistance to the proposal from neighboring property owners. We are adding our environmental concerns to those concerns already expressed by others. We hope you will carefully consider how this proposal would affect neighbormg properties and negatively impact our lakes. Please deny this conditional use permit.

As a private citizen and Eau Claire Chain lakeshore owner in Barnes, I am offering my comments for your use in evaluating the CUP application. Thank you. Jim Bakken Robinson Lake Campground CUP Application - Dalbec Comments 03 112023 EIA 3.0 f. - Applicant states that the surrounding area to the north, east and south are presently undeveloped. Both the parcel to the north and to the south are developed with single family dwellings. 4.0 b. - Bayfield Planning and Zoning requested a large-scale topographic map showing proposed modifications. Included in the EIA are "Drainage Overview" and a "Water and Sewer Overview" drawings, but there is no grading plan. The lack of a grading plan makes it impossible to evaluate how the camground will be constructed, where trees and vegetation will be removed, the location of grading slope intercepts or the location of retaining walls. Drainage from the camping site is proposed to drain to a natural low spot. I did not find a wetland survey by a wetland specialist to determine whether or not the low area qualifies as a forested wetland and would be reulated by the DNR and/or US Army Corps of Engineers. 4.0 d. - The applicant states "The development area is not tributary to Robinson Lake" however it appears that the south access road would drain directly into Robinson Lake. 5.0 b. - "The applicant states that the site has no navigable water frontage." The CUP application lists three parcels, tax i.d. numbers 1283,1339, and 1341. Parcels 1339 and 1341 both drain directly into Robinson Lake. Access roads are located on the two parcels with drainage to Robinson Lake. Supplement 1 Comments and Responses 2-14-23 and 2-15-23 4.0 Applicant states that the campground will have two access points from the town road. Mapping in the application indicate that town road right of way teminates at the north boundary of parcel 1283. The single access to the campground via public roads is at this location. Roads south of this point appear to be private roads. The provate road appears to partially located on tax i.d. parcel 1340 that is not owned by the applicant. The applicant was asked to provide an overall percentage of land disturbance as it relates to the proposed development. The applicant did not provide this information. Additional comments The applicant does not show or mention electric, cable or gas utilities for the campground. Wisconsin statute chapter 443 Examining Board of Architects, Landscape Architects, Professional Engineers, Designers, and Professional Land Surveyors states that reports and plans "shall be dated and bear the signature and seal of the professional engineer who was in responsible charge of their preparation." The report or drawings were not signed or sealed by a licensed engineer or other licensed professional. Franki Gross From: jw13pr4@aol.comSent: Saturday, March 11, 2023 5:35 PMTo: ZoningSubject: campground on Robinson Lake We are opposed to having a campground developed on Robinson Lake. The lake isn't big enough to have a great deal of extra people using recreation equipment, fishing, etc. We live on Birch Lake and will of course also be affected by this change if it is approved. Please consider keeping the lake as it is now and has been for a long time. Thank you.

For the record, we have read the Environmental Impact Analysis of 1/26/23 prepared by Weslie Engineering Group of Ashland, Wl. Although the development itself may cause negligible impact on the surrounding land environment, it is the potential actions and behavior of future patrons that fuel much of our opposition. Call it a "Not in my back yard" position if you will, but... Our concerns and oppositions are as follows: • Increased noise levels from campground activities - partying, ATVs, fireworks etc. • Increased vehicular traffic on area roads - including campers, ATVs, personal vehicles • Increased watercraft use on connecting lakes - namely potential, frequent use of shallow and "quiet" Birch Lake as a thoroughfare to access the Upper Eau Claire, including disruption of aquatic plant life and other natural resources and potentially increased noise levels • Further decrease and loss of the "Northwoods feel" - i.e. peace, quiet, and natural surroundings which are primary reasons we purchased our property over two decades ago - In our opinion, retaining that setting far outweighs any potential economic benefits given to but a handful of local businesses. • Could this set precedent for further, similar developments in the area and on our lakes? And finally, what is this all about that was buried in the "Robinson Lake Campground Narrative?" //... you can access Upper Eau Claire Lake (996 acres) by going through the box culvert on Lake Road. The box culvert is oo/'ng to be^ replaced to accommodate larger boats. The projectvvill be paid for by a Robinson Lake property owner." Is it common for private property owners to dictate and finance infrastructure projects such as that? Bigger culvert = bigger boats = more boat traffic, noise, and disruption of aquatic environments etc., etc., etc. We welcome your comments. Respectfully submitted, Kurt M. Kuhlman Kathleen M. Kuhlman 4205 Wallman Road Barnes, Wl 54873 1-3. March 2<2023 Bayfield County Planning and Zoning To whom it may concern: I'm writing as a property owner on Robinson Lake, near Bames, and want to voice my opposition to recommending the 28 RV space campground proposed at the Robinson Lake Resort and Bar, Dalbec CUP. My wife and I purchased our place near the boat launch in 2019. What drew us to the area is the calming effect of the lake, the good water quality, abundant wildlife, and a caring community of the natural resources. We fear these aspects of life here will disappear with more development. Our place is near the public landing on Robinson Lake. To date, there are days when the road to the landing is congested with vehicles and trailers. We often have difficulty just turning into our driveway. Adding more vehicles to the landing will make the road even more dangerous. A very big concern when our grandchildren visit. With more boats on the water, I fear for the safety of people enjoying the water. Also, increased boat traffic will decrease the clarity of the lake water. As well as disturb the waterfowl and other wildlife nesting on and near the lake. The location of the proposed campground is very steep and heavily wooded. Clearing the woods to make the campground will cause irreparable damage to the soil and provide runoffto the lake. This excavation will negatively impact the water quality of Robinson Lake as well as decrease habitat on the land. I have serious concerns about the sewer hook-up proposal. Putting sewer or septic system(s) for 30 additional sites will require much excavation. And, septic systems may not work adequately which could easily pollute the ground, groundwater, and the lake. A sealed holding tank at a dump station may work. I hope sewer hook-up will not be allowed. I am in favor of economic development in the Bames area. However, this proposed RV campground is not the right place for economic development. There is plenty of development already on the lake. Adding more will make it more crowded and less desirable. This will reduce property values of the existing places. I hope you take the above issues into consideration and recommend not going forward with the campground. Thank you for your consideration on this important issue and all your work for the Bayfield County. Sincerely, ^y^^Vt^-v Wayne Monsen 52043 Robinson Lake Road MA" 1 3 2023 March 7,2023 Bayfield County Planning and Zoning, also County Board This letter is to notify the Town ofBames Supervisory Board and Bayfield County Planning and Zoning Committee as an adjacent land owner to the application for conditional use permit for Campground submitted by Gregory & Kimberly Dalbec near Robinson Lake in Bames, of our desire for them to reject application. First and foremost is the impact to the environment. This is already a congested area, and believe that adding this project would have a huge negative impact to the surrounding area. Already on weekends the parking is so limited that patrons of the bar park all the way up road past where proposed campground will be located. Also the shorelme m front of bar is congested with watercraft. Robinson Lake Bar is the only public facility on all of the 7 lakes that can be accessed on upper part ofEau Claire Lakes chain. That makes it a drawmg place for anyone out boatmg to stop in for refreshments. Attention should be focused on future impact to habitat and wildlife . Not compared to past. How can properties to the north and south be considered undeveloped when residences are on all properties except 2. Question closest residence? Dalbecs do not reside there. Impact would be greatest to Norbergs, Keams and Fahmer. The Dalbecs also own more acreage near Sweet Lake, where they are relocatmg their residence. There was no consideration of applying for permit to put Campground m thek own backyard. Just stating a dumpster will be provided doesn't monitor the trash and pollution issue. How will it be addressed to not affect adjacent properties? Estimates that on average a person uses 120 gallons of water a day. Why is it registered in report that it is estimated at 30 gallons per site. Plus later in report is is stated that 120 people could possibly be on property at peak times. That would affect water usage and sewage drain off EPA estimates 4.4 Ibs waste generated per person of solid waste. Think this estimate of .92 lb is low also. Being that a septic system is being put in, how can it be determined that the underground water system will not drain into Robinson Lake when all grading and slope from Robinson Lake Rd runs in that direction. Why wasn't a holding system considered as to possibly limit contamination? Depth of ravine where project is proposed is immense. No allowances are being made for natural erosion issues, even though there is going to be a huge movement of dirt. Minimize retardation of shoreline or bank erosion, even if the project affects the lake shore. There is already an erosion problem coming from heavy rains coming down road, running between bar and cabin and running down hill Into lake. How will excavating affect surroundmg property owners property and is there any liability for the Dalbecs to make things right if they are affected Point 6 in report should get huge attention as far as other properties in the Bames area being available with not such great impact to a lake. I have found several vacant properties for sale that have more acreage than the 4 acres. There would be much less impact to the environment to the Eau Claire Lake Chain. Being that the Dalbecs live at Sweet Lake and have to travel to Robinson, the argument as to inconvenience should be mute. Believe that most points in 7.0 are exaggerated as to economic impact to area,. Being that the proposed mcome from each site is $4000.000 per year. The most economic impact will be for Robinson Lake Resort only. Would like estimation as to how much tax revenue would really be generated on project being that is it only water and septic. Construction was stated as being none. The traffic load to Fahmer road is excessive already. There have been accidents with the traffic that comes up and down that road already trymg to access bar. If changing the amount of parking slots available to 11. where are any excess vehicles going to park. Along roadway? Assessment of the potential impact to boat landing on Robinson is totally low bailed. That boat landmg already has cars lined up and down the road. Now you will be adding the impact of 28 people trying to access waterways. Local boat launches, beaches, ATV trails, and other public recreational facilities in the area are already overwhelmed. Drive by Upper Bridge during the summer for an example. From map it looks like the drainage area is at the closest point to the shoreline of entire project. Setback from high water mark for filtration is only 125 ft. From well report static water level is at 64 ft and pumping at 70 ft. Any compromise of drain water and sewage it could hit those depths easily. Is any attention being made to fire prevention with added campfires being anticipated? What attention is being made by Dalbecs to contain noise levels to adjacent properties? This is sometimes ah-eady a problem coming from bar. The bar and a rental cabm are located on Tax ID# 1339 and there is 1 rental cabin and two garages on Tax ID# 1341. Acreage should not be considered in total for project. Each camping site (minimum size of 30' X 50') will have a compacted gravel pad, 2 parking spots. Congested at the best with a Rv and 2 vehicles. Area also diminished by area taken up by town road (Fahmer Road) appears that rvs will be put on approximately 2.5 acres after area needed for the filtration pond. If you take the cumulative acreage of properties (Norberg, Keams, and Robinson Lake Bar properties), between the proposed project and Robinson Lake shore, the total acreage is approx. 5.5 acres. There are 2 full time residences, 2 resort rental cabins, 4 garages. To add this project would overtax the area. Plus Robinson Lake Bar only has 300 plus ft.oflake shore and less than 2 acres for these people to access. There is a reason this property was zoned R-RB and not commercial The following is taken right from Bayfield County website. Bayfield County has adopted a zoning code that is implemented by the Planning and Zoning Department for the purpose of: •Promoting and protecting the public health, safety, convenience, and welfare •To further the maintenance of safe and healthful conditions •To prevent and control water pollution .To protect spawning grounds, fish, and aquatic life •To control building sites, placement of structures, and land uses •To prevent overcrowding of any natural resource such as a lake, river, or stream •To preserve shore cover and natural beauty -To promote the better uses of scenic resources Please address all of the aforementioned points when making your decision!

As a resident of Barnes and a homeowner on Robinson lake,I have a few concerns. 1. Boat docking for campsite owners on the property. What percentage of lake shore would be utilized for docking 2. Use of the landing and available parking at the landing for the additional boat trailers 3. Security concerns for bordering properties as previously these residents have expressed to the town. 4. Supervision of campers who own the campsite and any persons that they allow to use their campsite. Will the campground manager be on site just as the owners are at other local campgrounds such as The" Y Go By "and "Trauts" Resort on Upper Eau Claire Lake. 5. Traffic and parking on site as well on the roads adjacent to property. I certainly enjoy the Robinson lake bar and have respect for the business currently being conducted by the family; however, I am concerned that the above points have not been sufficiently addressed so as to protect the lake as well as the properties bordering the proposed campground. When this property was originally zoned for camping, it was considerably larger. Now since subdivided over the years. It is likely that the property cannot support the number of people who would live on the grounds. In the interest of supporting my neighbors on the lake, in particular those most affected by a large campground proposal such as this, I believe the proposal as it stands is detrimental to the Robinson Lake community. We Offer our support for the Dalbec family; however respectfully support our lake neighbors in order to maintain the beautiful, lake life they have lives for so long.

I am a permanent resident in Barnes and live on Robinson Lake. My family and I have owned the property since 1978. This project should not be approved. I have attached here a Robinson Lake Critical Designation Report performed by the DNR in 2013. The report goes on to describe the unique nature of Robinson Lake and the importance of protecting this watershed and fishery. Robinson Lake is the headwater for the entire Eau Claire Chain of lakes. Any impact to Robinson Lake could potentially impact all downstream lakes (Upper Eau Claire, Middle Eau Claire, Lower Eau Claire Lakes and other connecting lakes), streams, and marshlands. I understand an EIA (Environmental Impact Analysis) was performed. I would very much like to see this report. It can be sent to me by replying to this email address. I reached out to the Wisconsin DNRto see if they were made aware of this project. Upon reviewing the Wisconsin DNR website under Environmental Impact Analysis, I could not find any current or archived Environment Impact Statements related to Robinson Lake, so I would like to know who performed the EIA and would like to review the results. It is important that sound and educated decisions are made when it comes to Wisconsin's lakes and streams. It would be a shame to potentially harm such an important watershed for a few extra tax dollars. Thank You, Thomas Schleppenbach Robinson Lake Critical Habitat Desisnation Report Bay field County, WI Prepared by: Alex Smith, Critical Habitat Coordinator Scott Toshner, Fisheries Biologist Pamela Toshner, Water Resources Biologist Greg Kessler, Wildlife Biologist Jodi Lepsch April 2013 Critical Habitat Designation Program - Introduction Wisconsites are concerned about the growing number of threats to sustainable healthy lakes in the state. Increases in shoreline development are changing lake ecosystems, and the conversion of natural lakeshore to residential development has greatly accelerated over the past 30 years. While many positive measures have been initiated within Wisconsin over the past few decades, habitat and water quality continue to be impacted. Critical Habitat Designation is a program that includes formal designations of areas considered important to fish and wildlife. Critical Habitat is classified into three categories: sensitive areas, public rights features, and resource protection areas (uplands within the shoreline zone). These three elements combine to provide regulatory and management advice to the State of Wisconsin, counties, local units of governments, and others who are interested in protecting and preserving these unique habitats for future generations. Designation of Critical Habitat aims to serve four primary purposes: 1) Resource protection through science based regulatory review. 2) Community-based resource protection through community education, planning and zoning. 3) As a guide to land-trusts and others acquiring land and conservation easements. 4) A mechanism to track long-term changes in these habitats. Methods Critical Habitat Designation occurred on Robinson Lake in Bayfield County during 2007 and 2008. Robinson Lake, which is a 91 acre lake with a max depth of 36 feet, is part of the Eau Claire Chain of Lakes and is connected to Birch Lake. Access to Robinson Lake is via a public boat launch on Robinson Lake Road and also through navigable water from Birch Lake. Designations were conducted by a team consisting of the county fisheries biologist, water resources specialist, wildlife biologist, and critical habitat coordinator. Initially, DNR staff compiled and reviewed existing natural resource data that helped identify areas of focus related to fish, wildlife, endangered resources, and their habitats before going into the field. In the field, staff used existing natural resource data, delineation guidance, and professional judgment to establish the boundaries of the sites containing critical habitat. Critical Habitat Designation boundaries were recorded in the field using map grade Trimble Geo XM GPS Units. For each site, staff inventoried current shoreline management practices occurring along littoral, bank, riparian, and setback zones following standardized methods. Depending on the features of each area being delineated, standardized sampling of emergent and submergent aquatic vegetation, substrate, and woody habitat was also conducted. Note: A detailed description of the Critical Habitat Designation program, associated methods, and the values of Critical Habitat Figure 1.

Detailed assessments of each Critical Habitat area including raw sampling data and GIS shape files are available by contacting your local DNR office. Management Recommendations General Lakewide Recommendations. Most of these management guidelines will be good for the lake or river regardless if the site is within a designated Critical Habitat area or not. Emphasis of or exceptions to these general recommendations are discussed in more detail in the specific lakewide and site management recommendations. For example, planting native vegetation along shorelines will generally be beneficial to the lake and property owner. Shorelines that are dominated by established lawn, however, may be out of compliance with current zoning standards and higher priority for restoration since those areas tend to pollute the resource more while simultaneously being devoid of natural fish and wildlife habitat. Permanent Land Protection Permanently protect designated Critical Habitat areas. Permanent land protection tools include: land acquisition, conservation easements, and mutual covenants. Competitive funding opportunities exist for parcels that are large and of particular conservation value. Voluntary protection or private funding sources may be the primary protection methods for smaller parcels. Specific lakewide and site recommendations emphasize priority areas for permanent land protection. Shoreland Restoration Leave natural shorelines undisturbed in accordance with local shoreland zoning rules. If the shoreline buffer does not exist or is disturbed, it should be replanted with native vegetation. The Bayfield County Land & Water Conservation Department may provide shoreline restoration technical and funding assistance. Additionally, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources offers competitive shoreline restoration grants. Some local landscaping businesses may be able to assist landowners with site planning, including native plant selection. Runoff Control Implement lake and river water quality protection tools like rainwater gardens, rain barrels, infiltration pits and trenches, grass swales, etc. that divert and/or infiltrate water before it enters the lake or river. Similar to shoreland restoration, the Bayfield County Land & Water Conservation Department may provide technical and funding assistance for these practices. Additionally, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources offers competitive lake protection grants. Some local landscaping businesses may be able to assist landowners with site planning, including plant selection. Septic Systems Inspect and maintain septic systems to prevent excess nutrient addition while protecting present water quality conditions. Ideally, a public sanitary sewer system should be constructed. Septic systems are not designed to remove the nutrients (i.e., phosphorous and nitrogen) that pollute water resources. Furthermore, septic water quickly moves through the local sandy soils and speeds delivery of potentially polluted water to the lake or river. In-Lake Habitat Protection Consider local recreational boating ordinances (i.e., slow-no-wake) within designated critical habitat areas. Specific lakewide and site recommendations emphasize priority areas for these ordinances. In general, native aquatic plants should not be actively managed (i.e., no raking, herbicide use, or mechanized removal) and, if within a designated critical habitat site, will require a permit for manual removal as well as chemical control. Lakewide and site specific recommendations describe exceptions to this general recommendation. Near shore trees that fall into the water should be left in the water. Site specific recommendations discuss ideal locations for replacing lost woody habitat. There are opportunities with the DNR and Bayfield County Land & Water Conservation Department to implement a Fish Sticks project that replaces this valuable habitat. Specific Lakewide Recommendations. These management guidelines are recommended for all of Robinson Lake and are recommended based on lake type, geographic location, data collection results, and lakewide management opportunities and threats. Riprap is not necessary because the wave energy is low for the entire lake. Low-energy sites are typically not eligible/authorized for riprap permits. If shoreline erosion is a problem, overland runofffrom rooftops, driveways, and lawns or reckless motorboat use are the most likely causes. Specific Site Recommendations. These management guidelines are specific to the given site and only supersede general and specific lakewide recommendations if explicitly stated. Sites Five areas are designated as Critical Habitat on Robinson Lake for a total of 71 .6 acres (Figure 1; Tables 1 and 2). All five areas are classified as Sensitive Areas for rushes, emergent and floating leaf aquatic plants, submergent aquatic plants, and/or extensive riparian wetland. Figure 2.

It is 13.8 acres in size and is located along the South shore of Robinson Lake. Established lawn and beach within 50 feet of the water's edge should be replanted with native vegetation to comply with Bayfield County shoreland zoning ordinance, minimize erosion and pollution, and improve fish and wildlife habitat. According to the shoreline inventory, there is some riprap in RL2. The wave energy is low. Riprap should not be permitted, and alternative bank stabilization methods should be used instead if evidence of erosion develops. Remove previously placed riprap and restore the shoreline. Do not remove rush beds. Place piers outside of rushes, or if that's not possible extend the piers beyond the rushes for boat mooring. Restore/replant rush beds that have been destroyed in the past. Buffers and overhanging vegetation, bog fringe and floating, emergent and submersed aquatic plants should be left alone. Do not actively manage aquatic plants unless an aquatic invasive species should establish. Implement Fish Sticks project. Contact local DNR Fisheries Biologist to investigate funding and technical assistance opportunities. Implement slow -no-wake ordinance or marker buoys in this bay to protect shorelines and aquatic habitat. Table 6.

Aquatic plant sampling occurred on 6/28/2006 by Michelle Nault and Kelly Wagner. 30 Appendix 2: Notice of Public Information Meeting and Hearing for Proposed Critical Habitat Designation The Department of Natural Resources has located areas that meet the criteria for Critical Habitat Designation on the Eau Claire Chain of Lakes in Bayfield and Douglas Counties. A public information meeting and hearing has been scheduled to discuss the proposed Critical Habitat Sites on Birch Lake, Bony Lake, Cranberry Lake, Devils Lake, Lower Eau Claire Lake, Middle Eau Claire Lake, Robinson Lake, Shunenberg Lake, Smith Lake, Sweet Lake, and Upper Eau Claire Lake in Bayfield and Douglas Counties. Because the Critical Habitat Designations are in waters held in trust by the state for all citizens and may be adjacent to private lands, state law provides an opportunity for public input to the Department's decision. The public informational meeting will be held Saturday, May 15, at 9:00 am at the Barnes Town Hall, 3360 Co Hwy N, Barnes, in Bayfield County. The informational meeting will be an open house format that will allow time to talk with DNR staff, ask questions, and provide written comments regarding the designations. A public hearing will follow the informational meeting at 11:00 am for persons wishing to present oral testimony. During the hearing, the public can provide factual information about the waterway or the areas proposed for designations in light of the standards below. Critical Habitat is of vital importance to water quality, hunting, fishing, and natural beauty of Wisconsin's lakes and streams. The Department has made a tentative determination that specific locations in the Eau Claire Chain of Lakes contain: • Fish and wildlife habitat, including specific sites necessary for breeding, nesting, nursery, and feeding. • Physical features that ensure protection of water quality. • Reaches of bank, shore or bed that are predominately natural in appearance (not man- made or artificial) or that screen man-made or artificial features. • Navigation thoroughfares or areas traditionally used for navigation during recreational boating, angling, hunting, or enjoyment of natural scenic beauty. • Areas of aquatic vegetation offering critical or unique fish and wildlife habitat, including seasonal or lifestage requirements, or offering water quality or erosion control benefits to the body of water. The identified locations are eligible for Critical Habitat Designation, and if approved, they will be sufficiently preserved to ensure healthy aquatic systems and protected to maintain the cultural/aesthetic value of lakes to Wisconsin. Critical Habitat Designation means that special permit conditions or denial of permits may apply to landowners who wish to alter Critical Habitat Areas through activities such as dredging, installing or repairing riprap, grading, irrigation, building dams, or establishing culverts, piers, and docks. Furthermore, in designated Critical Habitat Areas, manual removal of aquatic plants may require a permit, and the chemical treatment or mechanical removal of native aquatic plants is unlikely to be approved. Draft reports, maps, and more information on Critical Habitat Designations are all available at httD://dnr.wi.aov/lakes/criticalhabitaV or by contacting Alex Smith at (715) 635-4124. 31 Response to Public Comments on Critical Habitat Designations Location: Eau Claire Chain of Lakes in Bayfield and Douglas Counties Public Hearing Held: May 15, 2010 at Barnes Town Hall, Barnes, Wl Comment Period Ended: July 31, 2010 Thank you to everyone who took the time to submit oral and written comments. Seven individuals provided oral comments during the May 15 public hearing. Ten individuals submitted hearing forms but did not speak. During the comment period, the Department received 14 written comments. We organized descriptive comments into the general categories listed below, followed by specific comments and responses. Category #1 - Comments related to the boundaries and justifications for each Critical Habitat Area Comment 1 - This comment is in regards to DEC 20 on Upper Eau Claire Lake. The person disagreed that the shoreline to the south of the channel leading to Birch Lake offers any spawning habitat. They went on to say that the area experiences very, very intense pressure from swimmers and boaters as it is primarily sand bottom is this area. Response 1 - The Barnes Conservation Club in cooperation with the Wisconsin DNR constructed an off shore spawning reef in this area. The intent of the designation in this area is to protect this off shore reef from becoming covered with silt and sand. Electrofishing surveys have documented walleye spawning in this site. Comment 2 - Some individuals requested that DNR add Critical Habitat Areas to include the Fish Sticks projects. Response 2 - Critical habitat sites were identified based on the features present during the survey. Fish Sticks projects are ongoing and will be captured if future surveys occur. Property owners who participate in Fish Sticks projects enter into agreements that the habitat structures will remain. Comment 3 - This comment is in regards to BON 5 on Bony Lake. It was suggested that the DNR add the justifications of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Important to Fish and Wildlife Habitat and Extensive Riparian Wetland to this area. Response 3 - The aquatic plant sampling work done by the DNR and the Wetland Delineation work that was done on the Loon Echo Bay Condo property when a Bayfield County Conditional Use Permit was requested provide evidence to support adding these two justifications. Comment 4 - The submerged island off of Pickle barrel Point on Middle Eau Claire Lake should be added as a Critical Habitat Area because there used to be bulrushes growing there in the shallow water. Response 4 - A review of historical data and information did not result in evidence that would warrant adding this site. This comment will be considered for future reference 32 and surveys. DNR welcomes any maps, historical narratives, or other evidence documenting the habitat features. Category #2 - Comments related to our Management Recommendations Comment 1 - One person would like to see the island on Upper Eau Claire Lake closed to camping due to the partying and erosion from foot traffic. Response 1 - In the report, we recommended that the foot paths and stairways be repaired to help mitigate the foot traffic and erosion issues. DNR promotes public access and recreational opportunities. This is the only public camping site in the Eau Claire Lakes area. Comment 2 - A few people commented on the excessive partying and swimming occurring at the mouth of the Eau Claire River and "Pickle Barrel Point," both on Middle Eau Claire Lake. Response 2 - Swimming is a form of recreation protected by the Public Trust Doctrine. We cannot restrict this right as long as they are not trespassing. Law enforcement should be contacted if trespassing or rowdy behavior occurs. Comment 3 - A few individuals commented that they disagree that riprap should not be used in certain Critical Habitat Areas. Response 3 - Riprap is an unnatural structure that creates a physical barrier between the lake and upland areas, and often transfers erosion problems further along the shoreline. Even though properly installed riprap can prevent shoreline erosion, it often does not address the root causes of the shoreline erosion, usually disturbances and impervious surfaces upland from the lake. Naturally vegetated shorelines are the best for reducing erosion. Natural shorelines along the lakes of Northern Wisconsin are wooded ecosystems. Terrestrial and aquatic animals have evolved with this ecosystem and it is essential to their life cycles. Shifting the near shore cover from vegetation to rock diminishes the ability of the ecosystem to sustain itself. Comment 4 - One person commented that we add into our Management Recommendations a recommendation that the rivers and channels between the lakes on the Eau Claire Chain be reclassified to a more protective classification. Response 4 - The Recommendations have been added to the reports. Category #3 - Comments related to the shoreline restorations that have occurred since the initial field work in 2008 33 Comment 1 - Some individuals requested that DNR update the shoreline data to reflect the shoreline restorations that have occurred since 2008. Rip rap and seawalls have been removed and some lawns have been replanted since DNR conducted field work. Response 1 - The recommendations regarding the removal of riprap have been removed from the reports. The riprap and lawn data remains in the tables however, and an asterisk has been added with a footnote stating that shoreline restoration work has occurred since the initial field work. This data is a snapshot in time, and we intend to revisit the lake in the future to make comparisons. Category #4 - Comments related to navigable channel from Middle Eau Claire Lake to Bony Lake Comment 1 - Some individuals commented that the channel from Middle Eau Claire Lake to Bony Lake needs to remain navigable as there is no public access on Bony Lake. Response 1 -The channel between Bony and Middle Eau Claire Lakes is considered navigable. Public lakes, rivers, and streams that have a bottom (bed) and side (bank), and enough water to float any boat, skiff, or canoe of the shallowest draft on a reoccurring basis are considered navigable. Occasionally, barriers such as wood or plant debris may impede actual navigation, but waters are public even when multiple portages are required to get around obstructions. A waterway does not need to be regularly used for recreational or other general purposes, but is a public waterway based on its capacity to be navigable and public. Provided a small boat can float, it is considered navigable. In other words, there is no requirement that the channel provide navigability to large watercraft or boats with inboard motors. Category #5 - Comments related to Private Property Rights and Current Regulation Comment 1 - It was stated that government is consistently imposing new regulation, restrictions, laws and taxes on citizens and that Critical Habitat Designations are a ruse of propaganda by the DNR to make a new power grab and infringe on our property rights. Response 1 - The Critical Habitat Designation program is not designed to infringe upon the private rights of riparian citizens. Instead, the Designations are designed to protect the public rights held within the Public Trust Doctrine for all citizens, including those yet unborn. Wisconsin law recognizes that owners of lands bordering lakes and rivers - "riparian" owners - hold rights in the water next to their property. These riparian rights include the use of the shoreline, reasonable use of the water, and a right to access the water. However, the Wisconsin State Supreme Court has ruled that when conflicts occur 34 between the rights of riparian owners and public rights, the public's rights are primary and the riparian owner's secondary. Comment 2 - County Zoning and the new statewide NR 115 Shoreland Zoning Ordinance are already in place to protect these lakes. If an effort was put into enforcing the regulations which are already on the books, the lakes would be protected. Response 2 - The county zoning ordinances are specifically for the shoreland zone above the ordinary high water mark (OHWM). The counties only have jurisdiction above the OHWM. The DNR, and thus Critical Habitat Designations, only have jurisdiction below the OHWM. The counties can and are encouraged to use our reports to further protect terrestrial areas. Comment 3 - Why are some of the areas listed as "some of the most zoning non- compliant areas on the lake" and still be listed as Critical habitat areas with a long list of vegetation and fish habitat. Wouldn't those areas have been destroyed? Response 3 - Not necessarily. CHDs document in-lake habitat, scenic beauty, and wildlife features. It is correct that how people care for their properties can affect all of these things, but overall the Eau Claire Chain shoreline is in good shape. Eventually the cumulative impacts of unhealthy shoreline and land use management can tip the in- lake features out of balance. When this occurs, native fish and wildlife reproduction are reduced or stop altogether, natural scenic beauty diminishes, and water quality declines. Comment 4 - It is important property owners have a right to enjoy the lake, including having a swimming area. Response 4 - Property owners certainly deserve to enjoy the lakes. As such, DNR rules provide property owners an area up to 30 feet wide along their shoreline and out into the water where they may manually remove aquatic plants without a permit. Please note this 30-foot corridor correlates to the 30-foot access and viewing corridor that is allowed on the landward property through county zoning, as well. Category #6 - Comments related to the support for the Critical Habitat Designation Comment 1 - Many individuals commented on how they support the Designation. Most commented on how much the lakes have changed since they first started visiting the chain and they fully support protecting what is left for future generations. Response 1 - Thank you for your support. Comment 2 - Over the last 30 years I have seen the water quality decline on the whole Eau Claire Chain, (Sweet Lake & Upper Eau Claire in particular). I am pleased to see a 35 proposal to maintain/improve shorelines/water quality for future generations. I feel that private property rights should not trump our children's right to clean lakes and rivers. Response 2 - As previously stated, the Critical Habitat Program is rooted in the Public Trust Doctrine, which protects the public rights of all citizens including those yet unborn. The science shows shoreline disturbance impacts lake health. Critical Habitat Designation is a tool to protect and improve lake health. The tool is more powerful with community support. Category #7 - Why did the DNR choose to Designate the Eau Claire Chain? Comment 1 -Why did the DNR choose to do Critical Habitat Designations on the Eau Claire Chain of Lakes? Response 1 - There are multiple reasons to do the Critical Habitat Designations on the Eau Claire Chain. First of, the Department knows these lakes are really special and would like to keep them that way. The lakes are classified as Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW), muskellunge recruitment waters, walleye recruitment waters, and have exceptional water quality. Also, both the Town of Barnes Comprehensive Plan and the Eau Claire Lakes Management Plan contain recommendations to have a Critical Habitat Designation completed on the Eau Claire Chain of Lakes. However, the Eau Claire Chain is not alone in the Critical Habitat Process. The DNR has done Sensitive Area Designations on many lakes statewide. Legislative Act 118, which changed the program from Sensitive Area Designations focusing only on aquatic plants to Critical Habitat Designations considering all public rights features. Currently, several lakes in the area are in the process of having Critical Habitat Designations done as well. Some of those lakes include Amnicon Lake, Upper St. Croix Lake, Gordon Flowage, Minong Flowage, Nancy Lake, Granite Lake, and Beaver Dam Lake. Closing Statement While the purpose of the Critical Habitat Designations is to guide state decisions for the public waterway and inform lakeshore owners about the high quality habitat in the lake, we value the input given from local citizens and organizations during the process. State statutes grant primary management responsibilities over navigable waters to the DNR (except planning, land, acquisition, and boating ordinance development, where local units of government hold authority). As such, the DNR reviews all state permit applications relating to shoreline activities. Since the Critical Habitat Designations affect the state permit process, it does not significantly affect regulations administered by local units of government unless they choose to alter their local regulations and ordinances to utilize the Designations. 36 March 14, 2023 Bayfield County Planning and Zoning Department Bayfield County Courthouse 117 E. Fifth Street P.O. Box 58 Washburn, Wl 54891 zoninR@bavfieldcounty.wi.gov RE: Dalbec petition To Whom It May Concern, We are contacting you regarding the Dalbec petition to add a 28-unit campground to their property. This proposal is a concern because of the impact the campground will have on Robinson Lake and the surrounding properties. Being an avid camper ourselves it is difficult to conceive how this property can be excavated adequately to provide 28 level campsites. That amount of disruption will certainly have impact on the esthetics of the wooded property but also increase the likelihood of significant erosion at times of substantial precipitation. As stated in the petition the possible addition of 120 people to this area will also increase congestion to the road and lake. The road has been repaved but there is no place for bikers or walkers to safely traverse if there is a significant increase in vehicular traffic. Also, there are only 36 properties on Robinson Lake. If each of these campsites are allowed to add even 1 watercraft to the lake it will almost double the traffic for the 90-acre lake. For these reasons we oppose the approval of this petition. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

We were very alarmed and saddened when we received another notice of the continued attempt to build a 28 site RV campground not far from our property. The majority of residents around little 90 acre Robinson Lake are against this proposal. The lake and shoreland are not an appropriate location for many health and environmental reasons. Last year Gregory and Kimberly Dalbec requested a 30 site campground be allowed. Dozens of lake property owners expressed disapproval in person and many more objection letters and emails were presented. The Town of Barnes Board unanimously voted against the campground. The sentiment regarding allowing the campground has not changed. Twenty- five years ago we purchased thirteen acres and approximately 500 feet of shoreline on Robinson Lake after searching for many years for a very private, quiet and natural spot in the Wisconsin Northwoods. Our intention is to preserve it. Let's all work together to try to keep all the smaller northern Wisconsin lakes safe. Too much development will ruin the land, water, peace and quiet for now and forever. Please be thoughtful and forward looking in your decision. The lakes and forests of the Wisconsin Northwoods are its biggest assets. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, James and Betty Austin 8691 Shirley Rd. Cherry Valley, IL 61016-9615 Deb Kmetz From: Liza Kearns <Liza.Kearns@redwingshoes.com>Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2023 5:06 PMTo: ZoningSubject: Letter to Bayfield County Planning and Zoning Attn: Bayfield County Planning and Zoning Concerning: Robinson Lake RV Campground There was a Barnes town board meeting in 2022 where a decision had all been made that a new RV campground off Fahrner Road was NOT in the best interest for our area. There were multiple reasons it was denied; property value, resident privacy, noise from recreation vehicles and campers themselves with their pets. In our opinion, this permit should not be approved at the County level when it had all ready been denied at the local level. This proposed RV campground is in a high runoffarea from storms directly to the lakes. The property has low elevation - only 4 feet from lake water. There is the possibility of contamination from proposed septic system as well as campsite campfires can also contaminate ground water and lakes by introducing phosphorous, high PH levels, calcium, potassium, and heavy metals. We cannot risk the Eau Claire Lakes or ground water/wells to this damage. The Town of Barnes has a Comprehensive Land Use Plan that was supposed to protect The Eau Claire Lakes and the residents from this very situation. The Town of Barnes Town Board agreed late last summer 2022 that this request be denied. On Robinson Lake there is a small boat landing which is not equipped to handle more boats with no trailer parking. Robinson Lake is a 90-acre lake that is not big enough for this higher activity. The lake has no swim beach which results in boats anchoring in front of cabins and lake homes. This is not a favorable situation. The ski boats and jet skis create a very disruptive situation on the lake. It is too small. An enjoyable ride around the lake on a pontoon is impossible when their circling around you and you are trying to stay away from their skiers and their wake. Fahrner Road is not equipped to handle high traffic, it is sand. The town has plans for more RV campers' spots directly behind the town hall where this belongs away from the lake and its residents. Thank you for your consideration, Norbert and Caroline Kearns Barnes, Wl Deb Kmetz From: Mike Beckler <mikebeckler@hotmail.com>Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2023 5:28 PMTo: Zoning Subject: URGENT: The Gregory J & Kimberly A Dalbec Fahrner Road bar campground rezoning request should be denied. Greetings Bayfield County Board, If possible, I would like my letter to be read at the Bayfield County meeting. As a property owner located at 51855 Fahrner Road; my driveway is right across the street from the proposed campground. Robinson Lake is a very small lake and is well known for its quiet solitude, natural surroundings and very clean water. I am very much against having this campground in this quiet neighborhood for many reasons: 1. Parking - I am opposed to having Fahrner Road and Fahrner Court be used as a parking area for all of the vehicles, trailers, ATVs and boats etc. along with the regular customers who go to the bar. There is inadequate parking now, in my mind this will only become much worse. 2. Infrastructure - Fahrner road is a dirt road with minimal space for two vehicles abreast. I feel this road will need to be upgraded to a tar road to reduce dust and allow for larger vehicle and camper travel .1 say this because of my 50 years of experience knowing neighbors on this road and the problems with dust from the road coming in and settling on their vehicles at home and window screens and more. 3. Infrastructure Cost - who will be responsible for upgrades to the road if deemed necessary? The local taxpayers for the town of Barnes? The County? The State? 4. Noise and Quiet Hours - I'm concerned that there's going to be much traffic and noise during our quiet times, this is unacceptable and there is no local police force to enforce any such complaints that may need to be registered. 5. Drainage and infiltration into the groundwater and the lake itself. The soil is a very porous sand and the large "Hole" located in the SW corner of the proposed area is currently only 4 feet above the waterlineofthe lake. 6. Docks limit on lake frontage -1 believe that there are laws regarding how much lake frontage and with how many docks are feasible, I don't believe there will be space for all the boats and personal watercraft. In addition, the amount of additional boat traffic and shoreline erosion is of great concern. 7. Boat Landing - single lane, no turnaround, limited parking on the road at the top of the hill. Very concerned that this area will be very congested and cause problems for the adjoining property owners. 8. The Eau Claire lakes water chain is a very clean and precious headwaters, and everyone should be concerned to not have a great deal more boating access increasing the risk of bringing in more invasive species into the Eau Claire Lake chain. Boat ramp inspections are very minimal and are nowhere near a sure thing to guard against invasive species, inspections are generally only on the weekends. In closing; Last summer, the town of Barnes board unanimously turned down their request after hearing the local residents' concerns and issues. Issues which included these and many other concerns; topography, drainage, septic and infiltration of noise from people, ATVs, dogs barking and road traffic, jet ski's watercraft and everything else that goes along with having a large group of people in a small area who want to have their way with their rental spot 24/7. Any rezoning to support this campground should NOT be authorized by the county.

I live just outside of the notification area as I am 375 feet from the property and was notified by the neighbors about revisiting this proposal. I am strongly opposed to having this campground near my house and on this small quiet lake where I live for a number of reasons; reasons that I presented to the Town of Barnes last summer when this proposal was unanimously turned down by the town council. 1. Noise is a big concern for me as I live close enough to hear the noise and traffic at the bar during the summer, this will be greatly amplified with 28 occupied RV units at an average of 4 people per unit. There is no local police force for enforcement of laws and complaints. 2. Security - My property has a power line cut that runs through next to my upper garage and also goes through my adjoining neighbors' properties to the north of me. I am concerned that I will now have trespassers, pets, and will need to protect myself from theft or unlawful firewood collection. 3. The boat landing is a single lane on Robinson Lake with NO turnaround so a person needs to BSACK down 535-foot hill (35 feet elevation) to get to the landing. Parking is along the road which is adjacent to private property the entire way. 4. The EIA statement only addresses the immediate impact to the property and does not address the broader environmental impact to the shorelines, water quality, vegetation, wildlife disturbance, etc. There is a bald eagle nest across the lake SW next to the channel to Birch Lake that is less than a quarter mile from the site. Line 03/14/2316:43 X 5. I am a member of the Eau Claire Lakes Conservation Club, and have spent many hours helping on projects designed on improving the areas for normal recreational traffic including monitoring for AIS at the boat landings on the Eau Claire Lakes chain. ^ Robinson Lake is a spring fed headwaterthat is navigable into Birch Lake and then into Upper Eau Claire Lake. There is water current year-round going into Upper Eau Claire Lake. Any AIS infestations will have the opportunity to move into Upper Eau Claire Lake, then down into Middle on to Lower Eau Claire Lake, Cranberry Lake channels also connect Bony Lake from Middle Eau Claire/ and others from Upper into Smith & Schunenberg Lake and up to Sweet Lake. It will be a mistake to think that additional AIS invasion will NOT occur with heavy additional boat landing use and heavy watercraft traffic. ; -FT W& *&oi ?1.?WK MfB Eau Claire Lakes Chain of lakes, 10 waterbodies. 6. Shoreline Erosion - this will increase for everyone on the lake with increased watercraft use. I already experience some erosion from the limited boats on the lake now, this will become worse if this proposal goes through. I do not have any means of controlling it like using rock rip rap as it is not permitted on this lake. I understand the Dalbec's interests as business owners to expand their operations; unfortunately, this is too big an impact for this small lake. I would support a much scaled down option or the construction of cabins that limits the number of people and therefore scales back my concerns about the detrimental impact to this beautiful quiet clean area. The reason I moved here in the first place! Most Respectfully Brian Johnston 3975 E Robinson Lake Road, Barnes, Wl 54873 <?

We thought this decision was addressed by the Barnes Town Board last year when they voted unanimously to oppose this development. None of the issues cited at the town meeting were addressed in this new proposal, especially the issue of conventional septic. One thing we have difficulty understanding is the bypassing of the Town Board and movingdirectly to the county for approval of this controversial project. Property owners who live near the proposed campground and those who do no not(like us), overwhelmingly oppose the RV campground proposal by Greg & Kim Dalbec.

We wish to express our concern for the environmental impact this would cause to Robinson Lake. This is an environmentally sensitive area as Robinson Lake is a small lake in the headwaters of the Eau Claire chain. It is our understanding that the proposed site has some very steep slopes that fall very near to lake level. We strongly believe that septic from high density RV units presents a high level risk to the health and safety of the lake and the people who recreate on it. There is also the issue of nonporous surfaces from high density units on a small acreage that would create excessive runoffand erosion. For these reasons, we would urge you rule against this proposal. Thank you for your consideration. Richard and Martha Buckwalter Sent from Mail for Windows Deb Kmetz From: Diane Menard <menard5@msn.com>Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2023 8:11 PMTo: ZoningSubject: Development of a 28 site RV Campground Please be advised that we are opposed to the Conditional Use Application for the development and operation of a 28 site RV campground on Robinson Lake. This proposal is being submitted by Greg and Kim Dalbec. The reasons for opposing this project are numerous. The site is small and cannot handle this kind of activity. The road leading in is gravel and dusty, and it is not suited for heavy traffic. A septic system would not be efficient and could easily leak into the lake causing pollution and algae. Robinson lake is small and cannot handle all the boat traffic that this facility would generate. There could be issues with aquatic invasive species being brought in on boats from many locations and spread throughout the entire Eau Claire chain of lakes. The boat landing in small and steep with no "turn-around" area and no parking area for vehicles and trailers. Boats leaving Robinson Lake through the channel would disrupt the aquatic environment in two connecting channels and Birch Lake too. It would create more boat traffic on busy Upper Eau Claire Lake too, where we have our property. This campground would generate lots of noise and traffic in our quiet community of Barnes. There are not enough law enforcement officers to monitor the situation either. This campground is not a good idea on many, many levels. Please reject the Conditional Use Application for this 28 site campground. I appreciate your attention to my opposition and grievances concerning this project. Unfortunately, we were not able to attend the Public Hearing and Meeting on March 16th. Thank you. Sincerely, Tom and Diane Menard Lake Road, Barnes, Wisconsin menard5@msn.com Sent from my iPhone <?

Thank you, S. Odom March 14, 2023 S.Odom 52020 Robinson Lake Rd. Solon Spring, Wl, 54873 RE: Proposal for Robin Lake Resort LLC Campground To Whom it May Concern: As a property owner and 21-year active RVer, I have reviewed the proposal for the 28-site campsite on Farhner Lake Road. Here are just a few of my concerns: 1. 112 individuals would have total access to Robinson Lake from May to November while paying: • No property taxes • No Fire, police or emergency service fees These costs would be at the expense of the current and future land and home owners There are no additional public service vehicles, such as ambulances, or public servants, such as sheriffs or EMTs for these 116 residents These individuals will have access to free dockage and amenities at the resort. They will have better lake access than those regular lake users who live on the lake off of Robinson and East Robinson Lake Road; yet they will pay no taxes. These individuals will be "Key Holing" themselves onto the lake, while having no long-term commitment to the lake or to the Town of Barnes. Someone with a trailer or RV will have the same benefits as a property owner without assuming any of the costs or obligations No impact is listed to the assessed valuation of the 9 listed properties adjacent to the proposal. The Town of Barnes and Bayfield County will lose tax revenue if these properties are devalued. Unless there are covenants and codes to ensure that there is a limit to various types of outdoor objects such as grills, storage boxes, bikes, 3 wheelers, etc., nearby property values could go down. Our RV camping experience has shown us that unless there is a strict policy of RV upkeep, the RVs themselves can lead to a devaluation of nearby property. 2. The proposal states: "Traffic on Farhner road would increase very little as Robinson Lake Bar is at the end of the road." • The campground is located at the end of almost 80 per cent of a dead-end road. Ingoing and outgoing traffic by RVs, cars and recreational vehicles will definitely increase traffic, dust and road damage to this portion of Farhner Road and connecting roads 3. Another significant challenge exists with an increase in boat traffic. Congestion and safety issues already exist at the boat landing which only has parking for two vehicles. It is a dangerous intersection where cars and trailers are forced to park on the roadway. With the increase in boats there is a greater risk for the introduction of invasive species to the headwater lake of the Eau Claire Chain. If invasive species like milfoil or pollution damage the lake, these campers can leave, while those who pay taxes are left to pay for restoration. These are just a few of my concerns without including overfishing of lake area, pedestrian safety concerns, noise and road damage in general. I would encourage that you not recommend this proposal.

March 14, 2023 Bayfield County and Zoning Department, We are commenting on the application of Greg and Kim Dalbec for a Conditional Use Application for a public campground (28 RV sites with water and sewer hook- up) to be discussed March 16,2023. Many concerns exist with this proposal. The property is located on Fahrner road in Barnes. The road was reconstructed approximately five years ago. It is a gravel road which runs downhill toward Robinson Lake. Water running on and along the roadway now is directed onto the proposed site. Despite road alterations some sand still washes down the road onto the resort (picture EIS p27). The site contains a steep grade of 7-22% (EIS 3.0) with a deep pothole approximately 125 feet from the lake (EIS pl05 and p97) which does not hold water. Water directed onto the site flows to this pothole and quickly disappears into the ground. The low pothole is directly adjacent to the proposed seepage septic system which must handle effluent from 112 people. Highly elevating the risk of this project, the elevation of the bottom of this pothole is less than 4 feet above the elevation of Robinson Lake (EIS p38). Runofffrom the proposed campsite and potential seepage from the septic system adjacent to the pothole will be fast tracked into ground water due to the very pervious nature of the sand beneath the low pothole. The Town of Barnes comprehensive Land Use Plan speaks to this risk. "There is potential for ground water contamination due to porous soils, shallow water table and large number of septic systems that surround the lakes" (pages 2- 3). A map on page 2-1 shows that this proposal is within a "High Contamination Risk". Note that no test pit was dug at this low point of the proposed site (Appendix D p35). Approximately 36 property owners surround 89-acre Robinson Lake. 28 additional seasonal units will increase the human effluent load of the lake by 78%. For the last 7-8 years we have observed the emergence of a fibrous green slimy alga which comes out about 30 feet from the shoreline. Our family has been located on Robinson Lake for 70 years. This alga was not present until recent years. The application states that the site "is internally drained "(narrative pl03). It is because of the pervious nature of the soil at the low point of this steep property that no water stays on the property, even after significant rainfall. For this same reason drainage cannot be contained on site and is actually directed into ground water via the low pothole at a point 2-4 feet above the level of Robinson Lake. Impervious surface areas appear to be understated (EIS pg37). Plan calculations total .73 acres of the 4 acre (EIS 1.0) site but excludes calculations for roads and the long term parked campers making the 7-22% grade slope highly vulnerable to erosion. Oats and wheat do not adapt well to sandy soil. Page 4 of the application states that it was prepared by Weslie Engineering Group yet the plan does not contain the engineering stamp of a professional engineer. We are not opposed to RV camping but believe that the associated risks of this proposal to Robinson Lake and The Eau Claire Chain of Lakes are too significant for approval by Bayfield County. We encourage development of this project on a more suitable lot away from lakes and streams.

Best Regards, Greg Iverson & Family March 15, 2023 Bayfield County Planning and Zoning Committee Board Room, County Courthouse Washburn, Wisconsin RE: Campground proposal on Robinson Lake, Town of Barnes As long-time property owners on Robinson Lake, we respectfully ask you to consider our questions and concerns when reviewing the proposal for a conditional use permit to introduce camping for 28 RV units. 1. While separate from zoning, a similar version of this proposal was presented to the town's Land Use Plan Commission. Points that were raised included: a. Preventing development from having a negative impact on neighboring properties b. Protecting land values c. Require new development to address neighboring land uses, noise potential, and generated traffic The results of that commission's vote failed to move forward, indicative of the concerns of the neighboring property owners and committee members. 2. The introduction of 28 RV units translates to an estimated 60-120 people on and about a relatively small (89 acre) lake. Of concern is boat docking/storage, as the public landing on Robinson Lake is minimal. How much more of the shoreline is planned to be altered? How is the storage of additional boat trailers being addressed? 3. What considerations have been given to the safety and environmental impacts of additional recreational boat traffic in such a limited area? 4. Similar to increased boat traffic, it is anticipated that the proposed development would introduce increased ATV traffic to the area. What considerations are being given to these safety, environmental, and noise impacts? 5. Safety and security are also of concern, especially when dealing with this size of a transient community. What supervision is planned for the campground? Please note, it is the size of the proposed development that is especially concerning, not the desire to create such a development in and of itself. A proposal that was more consistent with the historical density and development around the lake would be more likely to garner local support. As presented though, this development seems inappropriate and detrimental to Robinson Lake residents and its environs.

In the application, I noticed that all parties must sign yet Kimberly has only signed once of the four times needed, as stated on the form. The QL860 New Well Construction form was done in 2001, for a single-family home not attached to the property in question or Robinson Lake Bar Property. Could one not have found another example of property in the vicinity more suited and a newer date to this zoning issue? Greg has stated that each person should use 30 gallons of water per day, thou I have found that a normal person will expend up to a 100 gallons of water per day. Why the discrepancy? I would like an explanation on the existing drain field of the Robinson Lake Resort and the new construction in reference to the campground. I also have been told most properties now are developed with holding tanks near the vicinity of water. Why the change in policy? What about the Easement to Norbert and Caroline Kearns that falls between the Campground and Bar. What about the safety to all. We worry about trespassing on our property (hopefully not malicious just inquisitive). I would like to see some form of construction(wall or fence) between their property and ours. We live in a densely wooded area, what protection is to be provided for campground fires. The chance of fires in the Northwoods is taken very seriously, considering the danger of loss to all. Noise limits are stated by the State of Wisconsin. Quiet hours are 11:00 PM to 7:OOAM. What are the provisions set to enforce this issue. What will the Town of Barnes due with the boat Landing on Robinson Lake to accommodate so many more boats and traffic and damage to private property? I have contacted the Dept of Natural Resources, why has the Town of Barnes not pursued this avenue. I have sent on the impact statement for consideration and awaiting an answer. The Town of Barnes must look at the Impact Statement for Middle Eau Claire Lake in 2003 that was denied. As a Permanent Resident to the Town of Barnes, we love our environment, as it is the peacefulness, the aquatic clarity to our lakes, to the wildlife we love and quietness to the area. We life and love this area for the ecological atmosphere of northern Wisconsin. What about the value of property in the Town of Barnes, do we want to see that diminished! Especially people owning and living on property near this expansion. What about the pollution created by the increase expansion of this type of construction? What happens if oils leak from vehicles, motorhomes, spillages of any type, etc. What is the procedure set for cleanup of such devastating issues near waterways? Please don't approve this application, our properties, wildlife, lakes and why of life will be impacted greatly.

On the page 1, sentence 2 it states, "Gregory & Kimberly Dalbec (in a shoreland) request a conditional use permit to construct and operate a [Campground, [Public] (*EIA required)] consisting of a parking lot; 28 RV sites with water and sewer hook-up; storm water infrastructure; dumpster. No structures will be constructed except a well house. a.

No structures will be constructed. b. Page 71 states, "Public or commercial - Describe: 20 sewered campground, shower buildine". c. Page 80 states, "3.

At the time the Soil Evaluation Test pits were dug the exact number of sites was not known. The number of sites does not affect the information in the soil evaluation report. 28 sites are proposed". My question, are they using an existing structure for the shower building or is this a new structure? In either case, will it also need plumbing and septic installed which is not included in the proposal? It seems there is conflicting information. 2. Two fewer property owners were notified of this proposal compared to the April 2022 Conditional Use Permit proposal. Is there a reason beside an unfortunate passing to notify less property owners? 3. In May of 2022, property owners submitted their concerns, will those concerns be revisited before a decision is made? Thank you Deb Kmetz From: hunterdog1@aol.comSent: Wednesday, March 15, 2023 11:51 AMTo: Zoning Subject: Gregory & Kimberly Dalbec request for zoning change I own property on Robinson Lake and I would like to strongly urge you to deny a request by Gregory & Kimberly Dalbec for a conditional use permit to construct and operate a Campground consisting of a parking lot and 28 RV sites with water and sewer hook-up. The music and noise emanating from their existing bar has changed the lake with more boat traffic and noise (and loud music) already. I believe the increase of people in a small area would only further destroy the quality of the lake with the increase in boats and noise. If approved this would do nothing to improve the quality of life of those who live there and pay taxes. It would only embellish the income for the campsite owners at the expense of more noise, boat traffic, and road traffic to the local taxpayers. While I do not begrudge the Dalbec's and think they are fine people, I do not believe this addition is beneficial in any way to the area. I have been coming to this lake for over 45 years and seen a lot of changes including more boat traffic with water skiers and fishermen, but that activity subsides in the evening. Still allowing residents to enjoy quite evenings. A campground located next to a bar would further erode this atmosphere.

The following comments are regarding shoreland zoning as they relate to the request. The department understands from the Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) that the proposed campground would not directly front Robinson Lake. I also understand from my conversation with you that there are no shoreland-wetlands associated with the proposed campground. However, it is clear that at least portions of the proposed campground would be within the shoreland zone. While the application packet did include a lot of information, it is unclear specifically how the proposed campground and related structures would or would not meet several portions of the Bayfield County shoreland zoning regulations. The department's comment regarding this request is to ensure that all portions of the Bayfield County Zoning Code relating to shoreland zoning be met, including those pertaining to land disturbance (filling and grading, etc.), ordinary high water mark (OHWM) setback, impervious surface, vegetation management, and access and viewing corridor standards and regulations. Thank you again for the opportunity to provide comments. Please have them delivered to and/or read before the Planning and Zoning Committee.

Furthermore, the application is lacking and incorrectly stating some information (eg/ calculation of impervious area). We still oppose this project. If, however, you find that this application must be accepted with consideration of Bayfield County Zoning and the Bayfield County Land Use Plan, we urge that the following conditions be applied: 1. Ask that an independent study be made of the environmental risk. 2. Reduce the number of allowable campers to 12. 3. Move the location of the septic system to the point furthest from Lake Robinson. 4. Require owner to provide dust control on Fahrner Road. 5.

I am opposed to this construction and RV campground. Bayfield County Zoning Code states the minimum size of a campground shall be three acres. However, it makes no mention about the suitability of the land to support a campground. The proposed commercial campground area is located on a steep hill. The numbers and examples I will be referring to were taken directly from the 2 drawings attached to the EIA as Exhibit E -Grading Plan My evaluation is based on the assumption the campground would need to be level with the upper NW entrance to the campground where the tracking pad and campsites 1 is located. Circled Green Area A - The elevation at this entrance is 1180 feet. Elevation on the NE corner of the site is at the 1200 feet contour; adjacent to campsites 8 & 9. 20 feet higher than the entrance and Site 1 - this is equivalent to a 2-story building. Elevation at the lower road entrance on the SW side of camping area adjacent to campsite 18 is 1160 feet - 20 feet lower than the upper entrance & site 1, and 40 feet lower than sites 8 & 9 - this is equivalent to a 4-story building. What these elevation numbers mean is based on the 4 acre area of this campground and the estimated 3.4 acres that will be excavated; over 80% of that area where the RV park is located will need to be clearcut and bulldozed to bare sand in order to permit construction of all the proposed elements of this campground. Retaining wall or other slope support structures will need to be installed along the North & East sides up to at least 20 feet in height to prevent hillside collapse. Similarly; Retaining walls or other grade support structures will need to be installed along the South side of the campground of at least 20 feet in height to support the landfill area. The Grading Plan does not indicate the excavation needed, finished elevation of the campground or any retaining walls or other grade support structures that will be required to keep the excavated and landfilled areas in place. Not shown on the Grading plan is an existing drainage culvert that drains road runoff from the NW side of the road into the existing proposed campground area & catch basin just above the tracking pad.. There is no detail as to how this drainage culvert will be added to the site to drain into the proposed infiltration basin. The proposed commercial campground area is located on a steep hill. Page 4 Item 6 of the EIA briefly discusses the impact of erosion and grading and mentions slopes of greater than 20%. Page 3 of the soil evaluation report shows a 23% slope however the question on 20% slope area on the property is marked NO on page 2 of the County Application for Permit near the back of the EIA. I graduated in 1982 from UMD with a BS Degree - Major in Geology Minor in Biology. A fun trivia fact about geologists is they have to be very good at measuring & mapping. ^In conclusion, this is NOT a suitable location, now or in the future for a RV campground.

Which is it? A shower building would require additional water and septic, wouldn't it? See below for specific references. a. On page 1, sentence 2. "Gregory & Kimberly Dalbec (in a shoreland) request a conditional use permit to construct and operate a [Campground, [Public] (*EIA required)] consisting of a parking lot; 28 RV sites with water and sewer hook-up; storm water infrastructure; dumpster.

At the time the Soil Evaluation Test pits were dug the exact number of sites was not known. The number of sites does not affect the information in the soil evaluation report. 28 sites are proposed". 2. Two fewer property owners were notified of the Conditional Use Permit this year vs. last year. (James Austin and Thomas Larson were omitted). What is the reason to notify less property owners this year? 3. Page 48 states, "The campground will be open seasonally as weather permits. Typically, May through October. At full capacity the campground would be expected to hold 120 people an average of 4 days per week during the months of May through October (26 weeks) resulting in 12,480 user days estimated per year. Mr. Furtak spoke at the Land Use Committee meeting and stated the Campground would be open May - September. Is the document binding to the dates stated? 4. We are concerned about shoreline erosion due to increased boat traffic. How many docks will be added to accommodate the campground tenant's boats? 5. What is the Town's plan to accommodate the increased traffic at the Robinson Lake boat landing? Will a parking lot be added? 6. How much will the town increase the budget to maintain Fahrner Road with the increased traffic? Respectfully, Robinson Lake Property Owners s<.'^ To the Bayfield Planning and Zoning Committee April 17 2023 I'm writing to address several concerns that I as an affected Landowner have with the, Conditional Use Permit Application, by Gregory and Kimberly Dalbec. The following are in reference to. Chapter 500. Zoning. Article V. Conditional Uses; 500-35 Conditions for Granting Application. A. That the establishment, maintenance or operation of the conditional use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare. There appears to be nothing in the plans to provide access for campers and guests to the Lake. It looks as if they will have to navigate their way through the parking lot down the road and through an active Bar parking lot before being able to get to the staircase to the lake. This would certainly appear to be a danger to public safety and welfare. B. That the uses, values and enjoyment of other property in the neighborhood for purposes already permitted shall be in no foreseeable manner substantially impaired or diminished by the establishment, maintenance or operation of the conditional use and the proposed use is compatible with the use of adjacent land. At the present time except for a small Bar (open only on weekends) this is a residential neighborhood. Has any thought been given on how this will effect the neighbors who reside there? The extra traffic, noise levels, campfire pollution? What about our land values? It's hard to imagine that owning residential land next to a campground is going to increase its value. E. That adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. The increase in traffic that this campground could bring has barely been addressed, 28 campers with two parking spaces each could mean 56 extra vehicles traveling per day. If each one of these were to make a minimum of two trips per day, that could mean an extra 224 trips down Robinson and Fahrner roads. That's not to mention the 50 to 75 daily visitors to the Bar, the ATV traffic and visitors (campers) pulling boats and trailers. This in my mind is a substantial increase in traffic for these roads, and all passing within 75ft of my door. This will certainly substantially diminish my and my neighbors enjoyment of our properties, and is certainly a requirement not met in B. (above.)

The proposed project raises a laundry list of issues around construction, operation and guest behavior, and impacts on the lake and environment. Heavy excavation will be required to deal with slopes raising issues with erosion and water drainage. Septic systems are a concern. What rules would apply to guest behavior, noise and potential conflicts among guests in a crowded situation. How would they be enforced? We would like to focus on the issue of boats. Customers of a lakeside campground would likely bring boats with them. Yet the EIA shows no waterfront and does not address the issue. What is the relationship of the campground to the resort and how is lake access provided? Robinson Lake has a public landing with very limited parking. Would guests have only day use of the lakes through public landings? Could the resort offer docks in sufficient quantities and still meet the DNR dock regulation? Both Robinson and Birch are small and shallow lakes vulnerable to damage from increased boat traffic, especially large boats. Wildlife, fish and birds would be disturbed as would lake residents who value nature and quieter pursuits like fishing and canoeing. Increased traffic also raises the risk of AIS introduction and spread as well as stirring up lake bottom sediments especially with large boats operated at high speeds. This can affect water clarity and fertility leading to excessive growth of algae and other vegetation. We believe that the size and nature of this project is inappropriate for this setting and should be rejected. We also find it unfair to decide this issue at this time of year when many of the lake residents most closely affected are not in the area. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Bob Cochrane DeniseScharlemann ri.u APR 1 7 2023 jsiynvi.iApril 11, 2023 Town of Barnes and Bayfield County Zoning We would like to voice our opposition to the proposed 28 unit campground to be placed at Robinson Lake Bar. We access the intersection of Robinson and East Robinson roads from the boat landing access road. This area is often very congested with traffic and boat trailers parked on the road since there is only parking for about two vehicles with trailers. It is sometimes difficult to see around the parked vehicles at the intersection. We are concerned that this situation will become worse if the campground is developed. Robinson Lake is a small, fragile lake and increased boating density has the potential to increase the damage to shorelines as has been observed in the past.

While it is we, Rob and Beth Knoelke, that enjoy legal and procedural standing to make this Request and Opposition as the official and current owners of a property on Robinson Lake and near the public facilities to be impacted by the re-zoning request referenced herein, we also bring this Request for Information and Initial Opposition on behalf of our entire family: Amy (Knoelke) and Matt Padron (Leo, Rhys, and Lorelai); Lauren (Knoelke) and Cory McAnelly (baby McAnelly due July 28th, 2023); and Adam and Emily Knoelke (Abe, Elia, Lewis, and Everett). In lieu of sending multiple letters from each member of the family, please accept these comments, inquiries, and concerns from the entire family, including the future owners of the property representing the third and fourth generation of property owners. As an initial matter, the Knoelke property is one lot away from the public boat ramp that services Robinson Lake. We and the surrounding property owners have significant insight into the year-round use of not only the lake, but also the public boat ramp. Further, this property has been in our family since 1969 and, as such, we have significant knowledge and experience with regard to the usage of the lake and the public boat ramp. We would like to thank the Dalbecs, their representatives, and all of the other city and county officials that put forth significant time, effort, and finances to develop and distribute the Environmental Impact Analysis covering this project, which was dated January 26, 2023, received by the Bayfield County Planning and Zoning Agency on February 1, 2023, and titled "Robinson Lake Campground." The document was well prepared and drafted and we appreciate the opportunity to review and comment. Our current opposition to this project is driven by the following questions and concerns we have with information that is not included in the document and therefore, officially, does not appear to have been considered with the materials supporting the request for a conditional use permit. The following is a recitation offsets, inquiries, concerns, and an opposition based on the evidence presented in public hearings and through the EIA. Should any of the following be based on a Classification: Personal misunderstanding of fact or circumstances, we respectfully request clarification to help us achieve a proper understanding. Facts Serving as the Basis for Ingym^ 1. Fact: Section 5.0(b) indicates, correctly, that the site has no navigable water frontage. 2. Fact: Section 6.0 indicates that two alternatives were considered. The first is the no build option which was rejected as it "does not meet the project goals." The second was purchasing lands elsewhere which was rejected because it is "not[a] viable option from an operations and logistics viewpoint," because "the proposed project must be located in close proximity to the existing resort for the project to be operationally viable." 3. Fact: Section 7.0-"Population"-Section (b), bullet one indicates that the total users per year will be approximately 12,480 user days per year (broken down as 120 people an average of 4 days per week for 26 weeks between May and October). 4. Fact: Section 7.0 - "Population" - Section (b), bullet two reads, "Economic Benefits - Assessment of the expected economic benefits the community will receive." 5. Fact: Section 7.0(d)*, bullet one reads, "Tourism is a large part of the economy in the area. Outdoor sports attract visitors year-round. Restaurant, grocery, retail, and adventure service owners depend on tourists. Increasing the availability of camping in the area would benefit all local restaurant, retail, grocery, and other small business owners, and in turn the local government and taxpayers in the area. Local construction and utility companies will also benefit." *Please note that this should be Section 7.0(f) or, alternatively, Section 7.0 - "Economic Benefit" - Section (a) with a heading of "Economic Benefit" as opposed to "Population." It appears a drafting oversight resulted in multiple sub-sections being confusingly relabeled. 6. Fact: Section 7.0(d)*, bullet two reads, in part, "Construction costs are going to be in the $200,000.00 dollar range and the economic impact to the campground alone should be $100,000 per year." 7. Fact: Section 7.0(d)*, bullet three reads, "the Community sees the impact of 28 new families enjoying the natural resources and additional 120 pupils to support the local businesses. If on a low average each person spends $30 anywhere in the community during one weekend for 16 weeks that's an additional $60,000.00 spent in the community at a minimum. Considering a $3000 night at any bar in the area would be a great night for sales that has to have a community impact." 8. Fact: Section 7.0(d)*, bullet four reads, "Current land value of $12,000 would now be taxed at a much higher rate depending on final assessments" 9. Fact: Section 7.0 - "Services" - Section (a) reads, "no additional public roads are constructed as part of this project." 10. Fact: Section 7.0 - "Services" -Section (h) reads, "local boat launches, beaches, ATV trails, and other public recreational facilities in the area are accustomed to high tourism traffic and the increased traffic from 28 sites will not overwhelm what is available. Inquiries With respect to Item #2 above, what are the stated and official "goals" of the project? ^"%"^ Classification: Personal With respect to Item #2 above, what aspect of the "goals" of this project require the project to be proximate to a privately owned resort and bar or in the proposed location in order to achieve these goals? With respect to Item #3 above, what analysis was done of the existing usage of the lake in terms of user days per year during the relevant 26-week time frame? o What percentage increase of usage of Robinson Lake (including the boat ramp and public facilities) does the 12,480 user days per year during the relevant time frame represent? With respect to Item #4 above, is this written in error? This appears to be a formatting error and "Economic Benefits" is intended to be a heading, similar to "Population," and, thus restarting the lettering beneath it. If this is an error, please ignore the following comment. o Comment: This does not list the economic benefit, it merely repeats a component of the EIA that should be included (and is not) and it appears as though the description of the Economic Benefits may have been withheld in error. With respect to item #5 above, we fully appreciate there will be some benefit to the local tourism, private business, government, and taxpayers, in the area. We are very supportive of such benefits to the community and the area. That said, this could be achieved by an additional campground elsewhere. o What data was collected and which comparables were reviewed to verify that this site was the appropriate or optimal spot for a campground? o How will these tourism benefits balanced with the increased costs associated with supporting this usage be realized by the government and taxpayers? With respect to Item #7 above: o What will limit the campground usage to families? o Are the numbers in the EIA supported by comparable campgrounds that were reviewed? o It would be helpful to see facts and supporting comparables that families (presumptively inclusive of children) spend $30 per person in the community in similar campgrounds. o Without the stated goals listed or provided, it is difficult to assess whether these same objectives can be achieved with a campground in a different location. o How does the financial benefit to local business owners flow back to the government and taxpayers? • Sales tax? • Has the value of the sales and income tax and what percentage will be returned to the local county and city been calculated? • If not, it would be prudent to see those numbers to understand how these benefits flow back to the government and taxpayers. o Is the economic impact of $100,000 per year to the campground a benefit enjoyed privately by the Dalbecs? • If not, is this $100,000 per year economic benefit the estimated increase in property value bringing the total property value to $112,000, taxed at an average of 1.21%, bringing in a total property tax revenue of $1,355.20 for the government and taxpayers? Is this correct? Classification: Personal ^• Neither the current publicly available median property tax rate for the state of Wisconsin (1.51%) nor the highest publicly available tax rate for the state of Wisconsin (1.8%) significantly increase this tax base. • If, instead, this is economic benefit from income enjoyed by the Dalbecs, please identify the estimated value and tax base increase (sales or income) to the government and taxpayers of Bayfield County and the City of Barnes. With respect to Item #8 above: o What work has been done to determine the estimated increase in tax rate and, more importantly, tax dollars that flow back to Bayfield County and the City of Barnes? • As stated above, without more information, the tax benefits received through property taxes appear to be relatively negligible (<$2000). With respect to Item #9 above, will there be any increased costs for road repair, expansion, paving or otherwise due to increased traffic? What information supports the answer given? With respect to Item #10 above, what research was done to understand the actual increased usage of the boat ramp, beaches, and other public facilities that will be impacted by the addition of 12,480 user days per year? o What percent increase in usage do these 12,480 user days represent over current usage? o What comparable sites or studies were obtained, commissioned, or utilized to support this claim? General inquiry: will the Dalbecs be responsible for the usage of the public facilities and the lake of those visiting the campground? General inquiry: will the Dalbecs be required to maintain liability insurance to cover public and private damage caused by the patrons of their campground? General inquiry: what agreement and terms will be in place between the Dalbecs and the users of the campground that will bind the users for issues of damage to private or public property in the area? General inquiry: with the Dalbecs relocating to Sweet Lake, who will be on site and responsible for concerns or emergencies arising at the Robinson Lake Campground? Concerns and Request for More Information We respectfully request that the County of Bayfield and the City of Barnes compel the Dalbecs and their associates to provide answers and supporting evidence regarding the above inquiries and provide the property owners in the area with these answers and supporting evidence along with the requisite time to review and formulate a final opinion on support or opposition to the project. Unfortunately, at this time there is not enough information or supporting evidence that would allow a reasonable property owner or the city or county government to understand the balance of the equities in this case. Itiscertainly a good thing to increase the use of this beautiful lake and surrounding area. Adding value to local business owners is, without a doubt, a potential benefit to a project like this. And, certainly, increasing the tax base that goes to beautify and maintain the City and County are always positive outcomes from a development project. However, at a minimum, any project consideration should provide enough information to show that the costs to the taxpayers are matched by the benefits. ^ Classification: Personal y. Unfortunately, in this case we don't have enough evidence to see even the minimum, let alone the great benefits claimed in the EIA. At this time a reasonable property owner reviewing this would see a potentially significant increase (12,480 user days per year during the relevant period) in use of publicly and tax-payer supported amenities, particularly the boat ramp and lake, without any sense of a balancing increase in the tax base that would need to be injected to support basic upkeep and maintenance. Furthermore, the boat ramp already has what appears to be a high volume of usage during the summer months resulting in congestion on the ramp, damage to adjacent private property, and congestion in and around Robinson Lake Road. Furthermore, the notion that Campground users will be families who care about the lake and the area without an increased need for public services like fire, medical, and, more likely, law enforcement, is not supported by any evidence set forth by the Dalbecs. Finally, while many of the benefits cited in the EIA are inherent to any campground development, none of the statements or supporting evidence (and the lack of articulated goals) support that this particular location is the best or most appropriate location to achieve a baseline balance of cost and benefit, let alone a net positive benefit for local property owners, businesses, governments and taxpayers. Unfortunately, at this time the only real evidence of benefits is of the private benefit that flows to the Dalbecs and their privately owned Robinson Lake Resort and Bar and the, if approved, privately owned Robinson Lake Campground. We do, of course, acknowledge and support the value of the benefit to private enterprise but, in this case, without actual facts, data, and analysis of the impact to others in the area and how they impact will be offset, neither the County, City, or local residents should support this project. Relief Requested Information Gathering and Delay Vote: As such, we respectfully request that the County of Bayfield and the City of Barnes delay a vote on the approval of the requested conditional use permit until the information and answers requested in this document can be obtained by the Dalbecs and reviewed by the County, City, and impacted parties. Oppose Approval: Until such time as a review can take place, and if a vote cannot be delayed, Rob and Beth Knoelke hereby respectfully request that the request for conditional use permit should be denied. Thank you, in advance, for your time, your public service, and your consideration of our inquiries, concerns, and requests.

We have reviewed the EIA associated with this project, however we continue to have the following concerns specific to the impact this campground would have on Robinson Lake. 1. The introduction of invasive, non-native species from their boats / watercrafts. 2. Other types of pollution; light and noise. 3. Boater safety in addition to the added congestion / parking accommodations at the boat landing, we believe a study to determine the recreational carrying capacity of the lake should be considered, (see the attached). The Town of Barnes Land Use Plan also states that during the Citizen Advisory Board brainstorming session in early 2004, participants responded to the survey and brainstorming session indicating property owners and renters in the Town of Barnes wanted to control development, preserve the small town atmosphere, and preserve the natural environment, all of which we believe would not be met by the proposed campground. We also believe that this project does not align with the goals stated in the Town of Barnes Comprehensive Land Use Plan (chapter 5-21, 22) specifically the 2nd and 3rd goals to "preserve the Northwoods character of the Town of Barnes" and "Avoid land use conflicts."

This proposal is being submitted by Greg and Kim Dalbec. The reasons for opposing this project are numerous. The site is small and cannot handle this kind of activity. The road leading in is gravel and dusty, and it is not suited for heavy traffic. A septic system would not be efficient and could easily leak into the lake causing pollution and algae. Robinson lake is small and cannot handle all the boat traffic that this facility would generate. There could be issues with aquatic invasive species being brought in on boats from many locations and spread throughout the entire Eau Claire chain of lakes. The boat landing in small and steep with no "turn-around" area and no parking area for vehicles and trailers. Boats leaving Robinson Lake through the channel would disrupt the aquatic environment in two connecting channels and Birch Lake too. It would create more boat traffic on busy Upper Eau Claire Lake too, where we have our property. This campground would generate lots of noise and traffic in our quiet community of Barnes. There are not enough law enforcement officers to monitor the situation either. This campground is not a good idea on many, many levels. Please reject the Conditional Use Application for this 28 site campground. I appreciate your attention to my opposition and grievances concerning this project. Unfortunately, we were not able to attend the Public Hearing and Meeting on March 16th. Thank you. Sincerely, Tom and Diane Menard Lake Road, Barnes, Wisconsin Sent from Diane's iPad §^'^ ^ Barnes Town Board 10 April 2023 My husband and I wish to add our voices to those expressing opposition to the second RV campground application by Greg & Kim Dalbec for Robinson Lake Lake Bar on Fahrner Road. We thought this decision was addressed by the Barnes Town Board last year when you voted unanimously to oppose this development. None of the issues cited at the town meeting were addressed in this new proposal, especially the issue of conventional septic. What benefits will the town seePThe spread of invasive, non-native species frotti their boats/watercrafts not only in Robinson Lake, but all surrounding lakes? Congested parking accommodations at the boat landings? Loss of the natural environment, and loss of the small town atmosphere that drew many residents and nonresidents to purchase property here? Property owners who live near the proposed campground and those who do not(like us), overwhelmingly oppose the RV campground proposal by Greg & Kim Dalbec. We feel the Barnes Town Board needs to recommit to and confirm the original decision and, for a second and final time, vote no on the application. Thank you, Susan and Ron Jansen 50445 Martin Road Barnes 715-795-2389 '§ clerlt@townofbarneswi.gov From: Mike Beckler <:mikebeckler@hotmail.com>Sent; Monday, April 10, 2023 6:52 PMTo: clerk@townofbarneswi.gov Subject: Campground proposal at this location in Bames, Wisconsin is unacceptable for many logical reasons. Bames Town Board, I would like my letter to be read at the Bames town meeting. My property is at 51855 Fahmer Road and my driveway is right across die gravel Fahmer road from the proposed campground. I am very much against having this campground in tins quiet neighborhood for many reasons: I would also be against letting Fahmer Road and Fahrner Court be used as a parking area for all of the campers ATVs and boats etc. With all over the elevation terrain. issues going on with the topography I feel that people may chose to park their items on the road because of difficulties with die lot sizes and topography. I'm also concerned that in this quiet aeighborhood where there's many homes and cabins were people want a restful sleep at night there's going to be much traffic and Atv noise use during our qaiet times, this is unacceptable. Fahmer road wozild have to be upgraded to a tar road. 1 say this because of my 50 years of experience knowing neighbors on this road and the problems with dust from the road coming in and settling on their vehicles at home md window screens and more and if there ever were such a campground with that much trafi&c and AT Vs it should be the responsibility of the campground to fund an upgraded tar road. The town ofBames board mianimously turned down their request after hesu'in.g fi-om the people and looking at topography, dramage, septic and infiltration of noise from all respects of people, ATVs, dogs barking and road dust and everytfamg else that goes along with having a bunch of people that want to have their way with their rental spot 24 seven usage. This all came about very fast and without the Bar owners personally talking to all of the neighbors, they just surprised them with no regards to OUT input and concerns. I believe that there are laws regarding how much lake frontage and with how many docks, and they may be over that limit right now and that should be verified. The amount of additional boat traffic and shoreline parking and erosion is of great concern. Down the road is there is a smal] boat ramp where the cement doesn't go in very far iato the water and there's literally not much parking available at all and not in any kind of coordinated, dedicated, legal fashion for numbers of vehicles and trailers to park from resulting campground nearby. This is also great concern and needs be addressed. The Eau Claire lakes water chain is a very clean and precious headwaters, and eveiyone should be concerned to not have a great deal more boating access increasing a for sure problem of bringing m more invasive species into the eau Claire lake chain. Over the decades there's been a great concern to keep those waters clsan by the town and the county. Boat ramp inspections are very n-uuimal and are nowhere near a sure thing to guard against evasive species, and it should be very much pointed out that those inspections are not 24 seven as the ramps are allowed to be used 24 seven. In summary; This all has went tlu-ough the town board and a lot of great infonnation has come out covering all aspects of ground water, drainage, noise of all categories, road use and parking, lake use, ramp use on Robinson Lake and much more. It was unanimously turned down at the Town ofBamcs board meeting! Any town support tills campground should not bs authorised.

As a resident ofBames and a homeowner on Robinson lake, I have a few concerns. 1. Boat dockmg for campsite owners on fhe property. What percentage of lake shore would be utilized for docking 2. Use of the landing and available parking at the landing for the additional boat trailers 3. Security concerns for bordering properties as previously these residents have expressed to the town. 4. Supervision of campers who own the campsite and any persons that they allow to use their campsite. Will the campground manager be on site just as the owners are at other local campgrounds such as The" Y Go By "and "Trauts" Resort on Upper Eau Claire Lake. 5. Traffic and parking on site as well on the roads adj acent to property, I certainly enjoy the Robinson lake bar and have respect for the business currently beuig conducted by the family; however, I am concerned that the above points have not been sufficiently addressed so as to protect the lake as well as the properties bordering the proposed campground. When this property was onginally zoned for camping, it was considerably larger. Now since subdivided over the years. It is likely that the property cannot support the number of people who would live on the grounds. In. the interest of supporting my neighbors on. the lake, in particular those most affected by a large campground proposal such as this, I believe the proposal as it stands is detrimental to the Robinson Lake conunynity. We Offer our support for the Dalbec family; however respectfully support our lake neighbors in order to maintain the beautiful, lake life they have lives for so long.

I am a permanent resident in Bames and live on Robinson Lake. My family and I have owned the property since 1978. This project should not be approved. I have attached here a Robinson Lake Critical Designation Report performed by the DNR in 2013. The report goes on to describe fhe unique nature of Robinson Lake and the importance of protecting this watershed and fishery. Robinson Lake is the headwater for the entire Eau Claire Chain of lakes. Any impact to Robinson Lake could potentially impact all downstream lakes (Upper Eau Claire, Middle Eau Claire, Lower Eau Claire Lakes and other comiectmg lakes), streams, and marshlands. I understand an EIA (Environmental Impact Analysis) was performed. I would very much like to see this report. It can be sent to me by replying to this email address. I reached out to the Wisconsin DNR to see if they were made aware of this project. Upon reviewing fhe Wisconsin DNR website under Enviromnental Impact Analysis, I could not find any current or archived Environment Impact Statements related to Robinson Lake, so I would like to know who performed the EIA. and would like to review the results. It is important that sound and educated decisions are made when it comes to Wisconsin's lakes and streams. It would be a shame to potentially harm such an important watershed for a few extra tax dollars. If you have any questions for me just let me know. Thank You, Thomas Schlepperibach Robinson Lake Critical Habitat Designation Report Bay field County, WI Prepared by: Alex Smith, Critical Habitat Coordinator Scott Toshner, Fisheries Biologist Pamela Toshner, Water Resources Biologist Greg Kessler, Wildlife Biologist Jodi Lepsch April 2013 can be found at http://dnr.wi.gov/lakes/criticalhabitaV. Detailed assessments of each Critical Habitat area including raw sampling data and GIS shape files are available by contacting your local DNR office. Management Recommendations General Lakewide Recommendations. Most of these management guidelines will be good for the lake or river regardless if the site is within a designated Critical Habitat area or not. Emphasis of or exceptions to these general recommendations are discussed in more detail in the specific lakewide and site management recommendations. For example, planting native vegetation along shorelines will generally be beneficial to the lake and property owner. Shorelines that are dominated by established lawn, however, may be out of compliance with current zoning standards and higher priority for restoration since those areas tend to pollute the resource more while simultaneously being devoid of natural fish and wildlife habitat. Permanent Land Protection Permanently protect designated Critical Habitat areas. Permanent land protection tools include: land acquisition, conservation easements, and mutual covenants. Competitive funding opportunities exist for parcels that are large and of particular conservation value. Voluntary protection or private funding sources may be the primary protection methods for smaller parcels. Specific lakewide and site recommendations emphasize priority areas for permanent land protection. Shbreland Restoration Leave natural shorelines undisturbed in accordance with local shoreland zoning rules. If the shoreline buffer does not exist or is disturbed, it should be replanted with native vegetation. The Bayfield County Land & Water Conservation Department may provide shoreline restoration technical and funding assistance. Additionally, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources offers competitive shoreline restoration grants. Some local landscaping businesses may be able to assist landowners with site planning, including native plant selection. Runoff Control Implement lake and river water quality protection tools like rainwater gardens, rain barrels, infiltration pits and trenches, grass swales, etc. that divert and/or infiltrate water before it enters the lake or river. Similar to shoreland restoration, the Bayfield County Land & Water Conservation Department may provide technical and funding assistance for these practices. Additionally, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources offers competitive lake protection grants. Some local landscaping businesses may be able to assist landowners with site planning, including plant selection. Septic Systems Inspect and maintain septic systems to prevent excess nutrient addition while protecting present water quality conditions. Ideally, a public sanitary sewer system should be constructed. Septic systems are not designed to remove the nutrients (i.e., phosphorous and nitrogen) that pollute water resources. Furthermore, septic water quickly moves through the local sandy soils and speeds delivery of potentially polluted water to the lake or river. In-Lake Habitat Protection Figure 2.

A public information meeting and hearing has been scheduled to discuss the proposed Critical Habitat Sites on Birch Lake, Bony Lake, Cranberry Lake, Devils Lake, Lower Eau Claire Lake, Middle Eau Claire Lake, Robinson Lake, Shunenberg Lake, Smith Lake, Sweet Lake, and Upper Eau Claire Lake in Bayfield and Douglas Counties. Because the Critical Habitat Designations are in waters held in trust by the state for all citizens and may be adjacent to private lands, state law provides an opportunity for public input to the Department's decision. The public informational meeting will be held Saturday, May 15, at 9:00 am at the Barnes Town Hall, 3360 Co Hwy N, Barnes, in Bayfield County. The informational meeting will be an open house format that will allow time to talk with DNR staff, ask questions, and provide written comments regarding the designations. A public hearing will follow the informational meeting at 11:00 am for persons wishing to present oral testimony. During the hearing, the public can provide factual information about the waterway or the areas proposed for designations in light of the standards below. Critical Habitat is of vital importance to water quality, hunting, fishing, and natural beauty of Wisconsin's lakes and streams. The Department has made a tentative determination that specific locations in the Eau Claire Chain of Lakes contain: ® Fish and wildlife habitat, including specific sites necessary for breeding, nesting, nursery, and feeding. • Physical features that ensure protection of water quality. • Reaches of bank, shore or bed that are predominately natural in appearance (not man- made or artificial) or that screen man-made or artificial features. • Navigation thoroughfares or areas traditionally used for navigation during recreational boating, angling, hunting, or enjoyment of natural scenic beauty. • Areas of aquatic vegetation offering critical or unique fish and wildlife habitat, including seasonal or lifestage requirements, or offering water quality or erosion control benefits to the body of water. The identified locations are eligible for Critical Habitat Designation, and if approved, they will be sufficiently preserved to ensure healthy aquatic systems and protected to maintain the cuitural/aesthetic value of lakes to Wisconsin. Critical Habitat Designation means that special permit conditions or denial of permits may apply to landowners who wish to alter Critical Habitat Areas through activities such as dredging, installing or repairing riprap, grading, irrigation, building dams, or establishing culverts, piers, and docks. Furthermore, in designated Critical Habitat Areas, manual removal of aquatic plants may require a permit, and the chemical treatment or mechanical removal of native aquatic plants is unlikely to be approved. Draft reports, maps, and more information on Critical Habitat Designations are all available at httD://dnr.wj.aov/lakes/criticalhabJtat/ or by contacting Alex Smith at (715) 635-4124. 31 and surveys. DNR welcomes any maps, historical narratives, or other evidence documenting the habitat features. Category #2 - Comments related to our Management Recommendations Comment 1 - One person would like to see the island on Upper Eau Claire Lake closed to camping due to the partying and erosion from foot traffic. Response 1 - In the report, we recommended that the foot paths and stairways be repaired to help mitigate the foot traffic and erosion issues. DNR promotes public access and recreational opportunities. This is the only public camping site in the Eau Claire Lakes area. Comment 2 - A few people commented on the excessive partying and swimming occurring at the mouth of the Eau Claire River and "Pickle Barrel Point," both on Middle Eau CIaire Lake. Response 2 - Swimming is a form of recreation protected by the Public Tmst Doctrine. We cannot restrict this right as long as they are not trespassing. Law enforcement should be contacted if trespassing or rowdy behavior occurs. Comment 3 - A few individuals commented that they disagree that riprap should not be used in certain Critical Habitat Areas. Response 3 - Riprap is an unnatural structure that creates a physical barrier between the lake and upland areas, and often transfers erosion problems further along the shoreline. Even though property installed riprap can prevent shoreline erosion, it often does not address the root causes of the shoreline erosion, usually disturbances and impervious surfaces upland from the lake. Naturally vegetated shorelines are the best for reducing erosion. Natural shorelines along the lakes of Northern Wisconsin are wooded ecosystems. Terrestrial and aquatic animals have evolved with this ecosystem and it is essential to their life cycles. Shifting the near shore cover from vegetation to rock diminishes the ability of the ecosystem to sustain itself. Comment 4 - One person commented that we add into our Management Recommendations a recommendation that the rivers and channels between the lakes on the Eau Claire Chain be reclassified to a more protective classification. Response 4 - The Recommendations have been added to the reports. Category #3 - Comments related to the shoreline restorations that have occurred since the initial field work in 2008 33 between the rights of riparian owners and public rights, the public's rights are primary and the riparian owner's secondary. Comment 2 - County Zoning and the new statewide NR 115 Shoreland Zoning Ordinance are already in place to protect these lakes. If an effort was put into enforcing the regulations which are already on the books, the lakes would be protected. Response 2 - The county zoning ordinances are specifically for the shoreland zone above the ordinary high water mark (OHWM). The counties only have jurisdiction above the OHWM. The DNR, and thus Critical Habitat Designations, only have jurisdiction below the OHWM. The counties can and are encouraged to use our reports to further protect terrestrial areas. Comment 3 - Why are some of the areas listed as "some of the most zoning non- compliant areas on the lake" and still be listed as Critical habitat areas with a long list of vegetation and fish habitat. Wouldn't those areas have been destroyed? Response 3 — Not necessarily. CHDs document in-Iake habitat, scenic beauty, and wildlife features, it is correct that how people care for their properties can affect all of these things, but overall the Eau Claire Chain shoreline is in good shape. Eventually the cumulative impacts of unhealthy shoreline and land use management can tip the in- lake features out of balance. When this occurs, native fish and wildlife reproduction are reduced or stop altogether, natural scenic beauty diminishes, and water quality declines. Comment 4 - It is important property owners have a right to enjoy the lake, including having a swimming area. Response 4 - Property owners certainly deserve to enjoy the lakes. As such, DNR rules provide property owners an area up to 30 feet wide along their shoreline and out into the water where they may manually remove aquatic plants without a permit. Please note this 30-foot corridor correlates to the 30-foot access and viewing corridor that is allowed on the landward property through county zoning, as well. Category #6- Comments related to the support for the Critical Habitat Designation Comment 1 - Many individuals commented on how they support the Designation. Most commented on how much the lakes have changed since they first started visiting the chain and they fully support protecting what is left for future generations. Response 1 - Thank you for your support. Comment 2 - Over the last 30 years I have seen the water quality decline on the whole Eau Claire Chain, (Sweet Lake & Upper Eau Claire in particular).

Park Proposal Dear Planning Commission and Board Members, We are writing to you to express our objection to the proposed R. V. park on Robinson Lake. We started coming up to Barnes about 30 years ago after an invite from my Uncle to stay at his family cabin on Birch Lake. My wife, girlfriend at the time, would cry when we had to head back home in southern Wisconsin because of the peaceful beauty of these lakes. About 10 years ago we decided this was the place for us to retire, so we purchased our own property on Birch Lake. Right from the start we realized what a gem this area is. The chain of Birch Lake and Robinson Lake are especially beautiful with Robinson Lake at the top. This is the north woods at its best. Cool, clear waters with tree lined beaches and good fishing. Wildlife is abundant, with some only able to survive because of the level of development is not overly detrimental to their survival. The buildings are mostly small cottages and not overly out of place with the north woods setting. This area is a quiet, peaceful and a residential area that can keep its character only with current level and type of development. The proposed R. V. park does not fit into this small lake residential environment. This development will add noise, watercraft, pollution and traffic on both land and water to this small mostly peaceful lake. The amount of recreational use on this lake is already stressing acceptable levels to wildlife, current residents and the enjoyment of their properties. This type of development would be more acceptable and less damaging to the environment on a larger lake with like kind development. In the short run this will only add property value to the owners of the proposed development but in the long term will only suppress property values to other owners on and near the lakes. Please protect our and my neighbors investment in our properties and long held expectations that this is the best of the north woods and not some Wisconsin Delis type, everything goes, commercialized development. Vote down this zoning change request. Thank you for considering my views.

For the record, we have read the Environmental Impact Analysis of 1/26/23 prepared by Weslie Engineering Group of Ashland, Wl. Although the development itself may cause negligible impact on the surrounding land environment, it is the potential actions and behavior of future patrons that fuel much of our opposition. Call it a "Not in my back yard" position if you will, but... Our concerns and oppositions are as follows: • Increased noise levels from campground activities - partying, ATVs, fireworks etc. • Increased vehicular traffic on area roads - including campers, ATVs, personal vehicles • Increased watercraft use on connecting lakes - namely potential, frequent use of shallow and "quiet" Birch Lake as a thoroughfare to access the Upper Eau Claire, including disruption of aquatic plant life and other natural resources and potentially increased noise levels • Further decrease and loss of the "Northwoods feel" - i.e. peace, quiet, and natural surroundings which are primary reasons we purchased our property over two decades ago - In our opinion, retaining that setting far outweighs any potential economic benefits given to but a handful of local businesses. • Could this set precedent for further, similar developments in the area and on our lakes? And finally, what is this all about that was buried in the "Robinson Lake Campground Narrative?" "... you can access Upper Eau Claire Lake (996 acres) by going through the box culvert on Lake Road. The box culvert is QOina to be replacea [to accommodate • larger boats. The project will be paid for by a Robinson Lake property owner." Is it common for private property owners to dictate and finance infrastructure projects such as that? Bigger culvert = bigger boats = more boat traffic, noise, and disruption of aquatic environments etc., etc., etc. We welcome your comments. Respectfully submitted, Kurt M. Kuhlman Kathleen M.

This program is designed to reduce pollution by addressing projects that reduce emissions from on-road sources. Now that federal funding amounts have been received by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), and a final State Fiscal Year (SPf} 2023 Federal Expenditure Plan has been approved by the Wisconsin Joint Committee on Finance, WisDOTcan allocate appropriated funds to the Wisconsin Carbon Reduction Program. The total amount of CRP funding for SR 2023 is an amount equivalent to a single fiscal year of CRP programmatic funding, or $15.573 million. To spend CRP funding as directed by the Joint Committee on Finance, approved project eligibility criteria must be closely followed. Currently in Wisconsin, CRP funding may only be used to: (1) replace street lighting and traffic control devices with energy-effident alternatives, (2} deploy advanced transportation and congestion management technologies, or (3) construct right of way improvement projects to improve traffic flow that do not involve construction of new capacity. Early last year in 2022, WisDOT solicited for CRP project applications. A review of those applications is currently underway. Please note that many of the applications previously submitted during the SFY 2022 CRP project solicitation may no longer be eligible activities based on recent Joint Committee on Finance's guidance, and will not be considered for funding.in SFY 2023. WisDOT will be reaching out to all applicants to communicate whether applications will or will not be able to move forward in SPf 2023. Sponsors with CRP applications that remain eligible in SFY 2023 will be sent a simple one-page agreement to move their application forward for continued consideration.

As a private citizen and Eau Claire Chain lakeshore owner in Barnes, I am offering my comments for your and the Board's use in evaluating the CUP application. Thank you. Jim Bakken Robinson Lake Campground CUP Application - Dalbec Comments 03 112023 EIA 3.0 f. - Applicant states that the surrounding area to the north, east and south are presently undeveloped. Both the parcel to the north and to the south are developed with single family dwellings. 4.0 b. - Bayfield Planning and Zoning requested a large-scale topographic map showing proposed modifications. Included in the EIA are "Drainage Overview" and a "Water and Sewer Oven/iew" drawings, but there is no grading plan. The lack of a grading plan makes it impossible to evaluate how the camground will be constructed, where trees and vegetation will be removed, the location of grading slope intercepts or the location of retaining walls. Drainage from the camping site is proposed to drain to a natural low spot. I did not find a wetland survey by a wetland specialist to determine whether or not the low area qualifies as a forested wetland and would be reulated by the DNR and/or US Army Corps of Engineers. 4.0 d. - The applicant states "The development area is not tributary to Robinson Lake" however it appears that the south access road would drain directly into Robinson Lake. 5.0 b. - "The applicant states that the site has no navigable water frontage." The CUP application lists three parcels, tax i.d. numbers 1283,1339, and 1341. Parcels 1339 and 1341 both drain directly into Robinson Lake. Access roads are located on the two parcels with drainage to Robinson Lake. Supplement 1 Comments and Responses 2-14-23 and 2-15-23 4.0 Applicant states that the campground will have two access points from the town road. Mapping in the application indicate that town road rightofwayteminatesatthe north boundary of parcel 1283. The single access to the campground via public roads is at this location. Roads south of this point appear to be private roads. The provate road appears to partially located on tax i.d. parcel 1340 that is not owned by the applicant. The applicant was asked to provide an overall percentage of land disturbance as it relates to the proposed development. The applicant did not provide this information. Additional comments The applicant does not show or mention electric, cable or gas utilities for the campground. Wisconsin statute chapter 443 Examining Board of Architects, Landscape Architects, Professional Engineers, Designers^ and Professional Land Surveyors states that reports and plans "shall be dated and bearthe signature and seal of the professional engineer who was in responsible charge of their preparation." The report or drawings were not signed or sealed by a licensed engineer or other licensed professional. March 7,2023 Town ofBames Supervisory Board and Comprehensive Land Use Plan Committee: This letter is to notify the Town ofBames Supervisory Board and Bayfield County Planning and Zoning Committee as an adjacent land owner to the application for conditional use permit for Campground submitted by Gregory Sc Kimberly Dalbec near Robinson Lake in Bames, of our desire for them to reject application. First and foremost is the impact to the environment. This is ah-eady a congested area, and believe that adding tMs project would have a huge negative impact to the suirounding area. Already on weekends the parking is so limited that patrons of the bar park all the way up road past where proposed campground will be located. Also the shoreline in front of bar is congested with watercraft. Robinson Lake Bar is the only public facility on all of the 7 lakes that can be accessed on upper part ofEau Claire Lakes chain. That makes it a drawing place for anyone out boating to stop in for refreshments. Attention should be focused on fiiture impact to habitat and wildlife . Not compared to past How can properties to the north and south be considered undeveloped when residences are on all properties except 2. Question closest residence? Dalbecs do not reside there. Impact would be greatest to Norbergs, Keams and Fahmer. The Dalbecs also own more acreage near Sweet Lake, where they are relocating their residence. There was no consideration of applying for permit to put Campground m their own backyard. Just stating a dumpster will be provided doesn't monitor the trash and pollution issue. How will it be addressed to not affect adjacent properties? Estimates that on average a person uses 120 gallons of water a day. Why is it registered in report that it is estunated at 30 gallons per site. Plus later in report is is stated that 120 people could possibly be on property at peak times. That would affect water usage and sewage drain off EPA estimates 4.4 Ibs waste generated per person of solid waste. Think this estimate of .92 Ib is low also. Being that a septic system is being put in, how can it be detemained that the underground water system will not drain into Robinson Lake when all grading and slope from Robinson Lake Rd runs in that du-ection. Why wasn't a holding system considered as to possibly limit contamination? Depth of ravine where project is proposed is immense. No allowances are being made for natural erosion issues, even though there is going to be a huge movement of dirt. Minimize retardation of shoreline or bank erosion, even if the project affects the lake shore. There is already an erosion problem coming from heavy rains coming down road, running between bar and cabin and ruiming down hill into lake. How will excavating affect smroundmg property owners property and is there any liability for the Dalbecs to make tfaings right if they are affected Point 6 in report should get huge attention as far as other properties in the Bames area being available with not such great impact to a lake. I have found several vacant properties for sale that have more acreage than the 4 acres. There would be much less impact to the environment to the Eau Claire Lake Chain. Being that the Dalbecs live at Sweet Lake and have to travel to Robinson, the argument as to mconvenience should be mute. Believe that most points in 7.0 are exaggerated as to economic impact to area,. Being that the proposed income from each site is $4000.000 per year. The most economic impact will be for Robinson Lake Resort only. Would like estimation as to how much tax revenue would really be generated on project being that is it only water and septic. Construction was stated as being none. The traffic load to Fahmer road is excessive already. There have been accidents with the traffic that comes up and down that road ah-eady trying to access bar. If changing the amount of parking slots avaUable to 11. where are any excess vehicles going to park. Along roadway? Assessment of the potential impact to boat landing on Robinson is totally low bailed. That boat landing ah-eady has cars lined up and down the road. Now you will be adding the impact of 28 people trying to access waterways. Local boat launches, beaches, ATVr trails, and other public recreational facilities in the area are already overwhelmed. Drive by Upper Bridge during the summer for an example. From map it looks like the drainage area is at the closest point to the shoreline of entire project. Setback jfrom high water mark for filtration is only 125 ft. From well report static water level is at 64 ft and pumping at 70 ft. Any compromise of drain water and sewage it could hit those depths easily. Is any attention being made to fire prevention with added campfires being anticipated? What attention is being made by Dalbecs to contain noise levels to adjacent properties? This is sometimes already a problem conung from bar. The bar and a rental cabin are located on Tax ID# 1339 and there is 1 rental cabin and two garages on Tax ID# 1341. Acreage should not be considered in total for project. Each camping site (minimum size of 30' X 50') will have a compacted gravel pad, 2 parking spots. Congested at the best with a Rv and 2 vehicles. Area also diminished by area taken up by town road (Fahmer Road) appears that rvs will be put on approximately 2.5 acres after area needed for the filtration pond. If you take the cumulative acreage of properties (Norberg, Keams, and Robinson Lake Bar properties), between the proposed project and Robinson Lake shore, the total acreage is approx. 5.5 acres. There are 2 full time residences, 2 resort rental cabms, 4 garages. To add this project would overtax the area. Plus Robinson Lake Bar only has 300 plus ft.oflake shore and less than 2 acres for these people to access. There is a reason this property was zoned R-RB and not commercial The following is taken right from Bayfield County website. Bayfield County has adopted a zoning code that is impiemented by the Planning and Zoning Department for the purpose of: •Promoting and protecting the public health, safety, convenience, and welfare •To further the maintenance of safe and heaithful conditions •To prevent and control water pollution •To protect spawning grounds, fish, and aquatic life •To control building sites, placement of structures, and land uses •To prevent overcrowding of any natural resource such as a lake, river, or stream 'To preserve shore cover and natural beauty •To promote the better uses of scenic resources Please address all of the aforementioned points when making your decision!

In the application, I noticed that all parties must sign yet Kimberly has only signed once of the four times needed, as stated on the form. The QL860 New Well Construction form was done in 2001, for a singie-family home not attached to the property in question or Robinson Lake Bar Property.

We live in a densely wooded area, what protection is to be provided for campground fires. The chance of fires in the Northwoods is taken very seriously, considering the danger of loss to all. Noise limits are stated by the State of Wisconsin. Quiet hours are 11:00 PM to 7:OOAM. What are the provisions set to enforce this issue. What will the Town of Barnes due with the boat Landing on Robinson Lake to accommodate so many more boats and traffic and damage to private property? I have contacted the Dept of Natural Resources, why has the Town of Barnes not pursued this avenue. I have sent on the impact statement for consideration and awaiting an answer. The Town of Barnes must look at the Impact Statement for Middle Eau Claire Lake in 2003 that was denied. As a Permanent Resident to the Town of Barnes, we love our environment, as it is the peacefulness, the aquatic clarity to our lakes, to the wildlife we love and qujetness to the area. We life and love this area for the ecological atmosphere of northern Wisconsin. What about the value of property in the Town of Barnes, do we want to see that diminished! Especially people owning and living on property near this expansion. March 15, 2023 Town of Barnes Land Use Planning Commission Town of Barnes Office Barnes, Wisconsin RE: Campground proposal on Robinson Lake We were recently made aware of a conditional use permit application being reviewed by the Bayfield County Planning and Zoning Committee and wanted to reach out to the LUPC to relay the information we shared with them. As long-time property owners on Robinson Lake, and as a family with deep roots in Bames, we respectfully ask you to consider our questions and concerns when and if the proposal reviewing the proposal to introduce camping for 28 RV units comes before the commission again. 1. First, we strongly agree with the points raised by the LUPC last spring regarding the objectives of the Land Use Plan. Specifically, that the plan calls for: a. Preventing development from having a negative impact on neighboring properties b. Protecting land values c. Require new development to address neighboring land uses, noise potential, and generated traffic 2. The introduction of 28 RV units translates to an estimated 60-120 people on and about a relatively small (89 acre) lake. Of concern is boat docking/storage, as the public landing on Robinson Lake is minimal. How much more of the shoreline is planned to be altered? How is the storage of additional boat trailers being addressed? 3. What considerations have been gh/en to the safety and environmental impacts of additional recreational boat traffic in such a limited area? 4. Similar to increased boat traffic, it is anticipated that the proposed development would introduce increased ATV traffic to the area. What considerations are being given to these safety, environmental, and noise impacts? 5. Safety and security are also of concern, especially when dealing with this size of a transient community. What supervision is planned for the campground? Please note, it is the size of the proposed development that is especially concerning, not the desire to create such a development in and of itself. A proposal that was more consistent with the historical density and development around the lake would be more likely to garner support and maintain the character that is uniquely Barnes. As presented though, this development seems inappropriate and detrimental to Robinson Lake residents and its environs.

We were very alarmed and saddened when we received another notice of the continued attempt to build a 28-site RV campground not far from our property. The majority of the residents around little 90-acre Robinson Lake are against this proposal. The lake and shoreland are not an appropriate location for many health and environmental reasons. Last year Gregory and Kimberiy Dalbec requested a 30-site campground be allowed. Dozens of lake property owners expressed disapproval in person and many more objection letters and emails were presented. The Town of Bames Board unanimously voted against the campground. The sentiment regarding allowing the campground has not changed. Twenty- five years ago we purchased thirteen acres and approximately 500 feet of shoreline on Robinson Lake after searching for a very private and quiet spot for many years in the Wisconsin Northwoods. Our intention is to preserve it. Let's all work together to fry to keep all the smaller northern Wisconsin lakes safe. Too much development will ruin the land. water, peace and quiet for now and forever. Please be thoughtful and forward looking in your decision. The lakes and forests of the Wisconsin Northwoods are its biggest assets. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, James and Betty Austin 8691ShirteyRd.

Please see the attached letter and forward to all AIS committee members. Thanks you, Wayne Monsen March 14, 2023 April PoweU Town Clerk Town. ofBaraes, WI Dear Ms. Powell: I'm writing as a property owner on Robmson Lake and want to voice my opposition to recommending fhe 28 RV space campground proposed at the Robmson Lake Resort and Bar. My wife and I purchased our place near the boat launch in 2019. What drew us to the area is the calming effect of the lake, the good water quality, abundant wildlife, and a caring community of the natural resources. We fear these aspects of life here will disappear with more development. Our place is near the public landing on Robinson Lake. To date, there are days when the road to the landing is congested with veMcles and trailers. We often have difficulty just tuming into our driveway. Adding more vehicles to tfae landing wfll make the road even more dangerous. A very big concern when our grandchildren visit. With more boats on the water, I fear for fhe safety of people eiyoyiug the water. Also, increased boat traffic wffl deCTease the clarity of the lake water. As well as distuib the waterfow^l and other wildlife nesting on and near the lake. The location of the proposal campground is very steep and heavily wooded. Clearing the woods to make the campground will cause irreparable damage to the soil and provide nmoffto the lake. This excavation will negatively impact the water quality ofRobmson Lake as well as decrease habitat on the land. I have serious concerns about fhe sewer hook-up proposal. Putting sewer or septic s}%tem(s) for 30 additional sites will require much excavation. And, septic systems may not work adequately which could easily pollute the ground, groundwater, and the lake. A sealed holding tank at a dump station may work I hope sewer hook-up will not be allowed. I am in favor of economic development in the Bames area. However, this proposed RV campground is not the right place for economic development. There is plenty of development already on the lake. Adding more wiU make it more crowded and less desirable. This will reduce property values of the existing places. I hope you take the above issues into consideratiou and recommend not going forward wifh the campground. Thank you for yoia- consideration on this important issue and all your work for the Bames commumty.

I already experience some erosion from the limited boats on the lake now, this will become worse if this proposal goes through.

I understand the Dalbec's interests as business owners to expand their operations; unfortunately, this is too big an impact for this small lake.

Scott and Debby Kuklinski Sent from Mail for Windows March 14, 2023 Town of Barnes derk@townofba rneswi .gov RE: Dalbec petition To Whom It May Concern, We are contacting you regarding the Dalbec petition to add a 28-unit campground to their property. This proposal is a concern because of the impact the campground will have on Robinson Lake and the surrounding properties. Being an avid camper ourselves it is difficult to conceive how this property can be excavated adequately to provide 28 level campsites. That amount of disruption will certainly have impact on the esthetics of the wooded property but also increase the likelihood of significant erosion at times of substantial predpitation. As stated in the petition the possible addition of 120 people to this area will also increase congestion to the road and lake. The road has been repaved but there is no place for bikers or walkers to safely traverse if there is a significant increase in vehicular traffic. Also, there are only 36 properties on Robinson Lake. If each of these campsites are allowed to add even 1 watercraft to the lake it will almost double the traffic for the 90-acre lake. For these reasons we oppose the approval of this petition. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Sunne Thomas, 51985 Robinson Lake Rd. ^ Town ofBames Page 2 March 7,2023 The EIA states each RV site will contribute 30 gallons per day (GPD) to the waste system. '-High quality" RV site designers surest 100 to 120 GPD when the RV is hooked up to water and sewer. Potentially, the proposed system may be unable to adequately treat the large wastewater discharge from modem RVs. At any rate, the proposed large- scale septic system required to handle the needs of campers in the 28 sites wUI be the source of considerable effluent containing phosphorus and nitrate.

Planning and Zoning Committee as an adjacent land owner to the application for conditional use permit for Campground submitted by Gregory & Kimberly Dalbec near Robinson Lake in Bames, of our desire for them to reject application. First and foremost is the impact to the environment. This is already a congested area, and believe that adding this project would have a huge negative impact to the smrounding area. Already on weekends the parking is so limited that patrons of the bar park ati the way up road past where proposed campground will be located. Also fhe shoreline in front of bar is congested with watercraft. Robinson Lake Bar is the only public facility on all of the 7 lakes that can be accessed OH upper part ofEau Claire Lakes chain. That makes it a drawing place for anyone out boating to stop in for refreshments. Attention should be focused on future impact to habitat and wildlife. Not compared to past. How can properties to the north aad south be considered undeveloped when residences are on all properties except 2. Question closest residence? Dalbecs do not reside fhCTe. Impact would be greatest to Norbergs, Keams and Fahmer. The Dalbecs also own more acreage near Sweet Lake, where they are relocating their residence. There was no consideration of applying for permit to put Campground in their own backyard. Jvst stating a dumpster will be provided doesn't monitor the trash and pollution issue. How will it be addressed to not affect adjacent properties? Estimates that on average a person uses 120 gallons of water a day. Why is it registered in report that it is estimated at 30 gallons per site. Plus later in report is is stated that 120 people could possibly be on property at peak times. That would affect water usage and sewage drain off EPA estimates 4.4 Ibs waste generated per person of solid waste. Think this estimate of .92 lb is low also. Being that a sqptic system is being put in, how can it be determined that the underground water system will not drain into Robinson Lake when all grading and slope from Is any attention being made to fire prevention with added campfires being anticipated? What attention is being made by Dalbecs to contain noise levels to adjacent properties? This is sometimes already a problem coming from bar. The bar and a rental cabin are located on Tax BD# 1339 and there is 1 rental cabin and two garages on Tax ID# 1341. Acreage should not be considered in total for project. Each camping site (minimum size of 30' X 50') will have a compacted gravel pad, 2 parking spots. Congested at the best with a Rv and 2 vehicles. Area also diminished by area taken up by town road (Fahmer Road) appears that rvs will be put on approximately 2.5 acres after area needed for the filtration pond. If you take the cumulative acreage of properties (Norberg, Keams, and Robinson Lake Bar properties), between the proposed project and Robinson Lake shore, the total acreage is approx. 5.5 acres. There are 2 fall time residences, 2 resort rental cabins, 4 garages. To add this project would overtax the area. Plus Robinson Lake Bar only has 300 plus ft.oflake shore and less fhan 2 acres for these people to access. There is a reason this property was zoned R-RB and not commercial The following is taken right from Bayfield County wcbsite.

This proposal is being submitted by Gregand Kim Dalbec. The reasons for opposing this project are numerous. The site is small and cannot handle this kind of activity. The road leading in is gravel and dusty, and it is not suited for heavy traffic. A septic system would not be efficient and could easily leak into the lake causing pollution and algae. Robinson lake is small and cannot handle all the boat traffic that this facility would generate. There could be issues with aquatic invasive species being brought in on boats from many locations and spread throughout the entire Eau Claire chain of lakes. The boat landing in small and steep with no "turn-around" area and no parking area for vehicles and trailers. Boats leaving Robinson Lake through the channel would disrupt the aquatic environment in two connecting channels and Birch Lake too. It would create more boat traffic on busy Upper Eau Claire Lake too, where we have our property. This campground would generate lots of noise and traffic in our quiet community of Bames. There are not enough law enforcement officers to monitor the situation either. This campground is not a good idea on many, many levels. Please reject the Conditional Use Application for this 28 site campground. I appreciate your attention to my opposition and grievances concerning this project. Tom and Diane Menard Lake Road, Barnes, Wisconsin menard5@msn.com Sent from Diane's iPad To: Town ofBames Supervisors March 16, 2023 As an organization, the Eau Claire Lakes Conservation Club has been established for over 60 years. Our goal is to organize and complete projects that preserve, protect and promote the land and waters of the the Eau Claire Lakes area. This letter is is being sent in opposition to the recent request to construct a 28 unit campground adjacent to Robinson lake. The addition of 28 campsites and associated well and waste treatment systems alongside Robinson lake can only be viewed as a detriment to preserving and protecting our natural resources. This is amplified by the fact that Robinson lake is part of the larger Eau Claire chain of lakes. It is our opinion that the negative impact of the proposed campground outweigh the value it brings in promoting the area..

This application was presented previously and it received a lot of resistance from some of our property owners so we need the process to be transparent - what do you suggest? Thank you, Judy Bourassa/AprU PoweU Town of Bames Clerk/Treasurer April 10, 2023 Town of Barnes, We are commenting on the application ofGreg and Kim Dalbec for a Conditional Use Application for a public campground (28 RV sites with water and sewer hook- up) to be discussed April 11 and 18, 2023. Many concerns exist with this proposal. The property "is located on Fahrner road in Barnes. The road was reconstructed approximately five years ago. It is a gravel road which runs downhill toward Robinson Lake. Water running on and along the roadway now is directed onto the proposed site. The site contains a steep grade of 7-22% (E1S 3.0} with a deep pothole approximately 125 feet from the lake (EIS pl05 and p97) which does not hold water. Water directed onto the site flows to this pothole and quickly disappears into the ground. The low pothole is directly adjacent to the proposed seepage septic system which must handle effluent from 112 people. Highly elevating the risk of this project, the elevation of the bottom of this pothole is less than 4 feet above the elevation of Robinson Lake (EIS p38). Runofffrom the proposed campsite and potential seepage from the septic system adjacent to the pothole will be fast tracked into ground water due to the very pervious nature of the sand beneath the low pothole. The Town of Barnes comprehensive Land Use Plan speaks to this risk. "There is potential for ground water contamination due to porous soils, shallow water table and large number ofseptic systems that surround the lakes" (pages 2-3). A map on page 2-1 shows that this proposal is within a "High Contamination Risk", Note that no test pit was dug at this low point of the proposed site (Appendix D p35). Approximately 36 property owners surround 89-acre Robinson Lake. 28 additional seasonal units will increase the human effluent load of the lake by 78%. For the last 7-8 years we have observed the emergence of a fibrous green slimy alga which comes out about 30 feet from the shoreline. Our family has been located on Robinson Lake for 70 years. This alga was not present until recent years. The application states that the site "is internally drained "(narrative pl03). It is because of the pen/ious nature of the soil at the low point of this steep property that no water stays on the property, even after significant rainfall. For this same reason drainage cannot be contained on site and is actually directed into ground water via the low pothole at a point 2-4 feet above the level of Robinson Lake. Impervious surface areas appear to be understated on the plan (EIS pg37). Plan calculations total .73 acres of the 4 acre (EIS 1.0) site but excludes calculations for roads and the long term parked campers making the 7-22% grade slope highly vulnerable to erosion. Page 4 of the application states that it was prepared by Weslie Engineering Group yet the plan does not contain the engineering stamp of a professional engineer, Specific questions regarding the application include: 1. EIS 7.0 asks for values of economic impact which are not answered. What is the impact to property valuations of adjoining property owners? 2. EIS 7C Total tax revenue. No answer is given, What is the anticipated tax revenue since Town of Barnes does not collect sales tax? 3. What are the costs and consequences of servicing the proposal? No figures are given. What will be the additional cost of maintaining Robinson, East Robinson/ and Fahrner Roads plus the Robinson Lake boat landing? What will be the cost of dust control on Fahrner Road? 4. How was it determined that added traffic at the boat launch "will not overwhelm what is already available" when that traffic often is parked on Robinson and East Robinson Roads? Does the applicant have the ability to increase dockage per DNR regulations? 5. Applicant was asked to provide grading plans. Appendix E shows site maps yet no true plan of grading. What are grading plans for the site? How will site grading impact the recently altered grading plan to address surface flow adjacent to Fahrner Road? 6. How does the applicant's management plan address the fact that they live 5 miles from the proposed site? The Town of Barnes Land Use Policy also states in the following references to proposals such as this: 5-23 "discourages dense development on or near area lakes" Page 19 maps pages 5-7 shows the parcel presented for development to be identified as "Residential" for future development. 5-213. "discourage development that increases costs of public services 5-22 Objective 1. Prevent development from having a negative impact on neighboring properties. 2. Protect land values 5-22 Require new development to address noise potential and traffic generation. We are not opposed to RV camping but believe that the associated risks of this proposal to Robinson Lake and The Eau Claire Chain of Lakes are too significant for approval by the Town of Barnes and Bayfield County. We encourage development of this project on a more suitable lot away from lakes and streams. Sincerely, Douglas and Patricia Scheider 3985 East Robinson Lake Road March 14, 2023 S. Odom 52020 Robinson Lake Rd. Solon Spring, Wl, 54873 RE: Proposal for Robin Lake Resort LLC Campground To Whom it May Concern: As a property owner and 21-year active RVer, I have reviewed the proposal for the 28-site campsite on Farhner Lake Road. Here are just a few of my concerns: 1. 112 individuals would have total access to Robinson Lake from May to November white paying: • No property taxes • No Fire, police or emergency service fees These costs would be at the expense of the current and future land and home owners There are no additional public service vehicles, such as ambulances, or public servants, such as sheriffs or EMTs for these 116 residents These individuals will have access to free dockage and amenities at the resort. They will have better lake access than those regular lake users who live on the lake off of Robinson and East Robinson Lake Road; yet they will pay no taxes. These individuals will be "Key Holing''1 themselves onto the lake, while having no long-term commitment to the lake or to the Town of Barnes. Someone with a trailer or RV will have the same benefits as a property owner without assuming any of the costs or obligations No impact is listed to the assessed valuation of the 9 listed properties adjacent to the proposaf. The Town of Barnes and Bayfield County will lose tax revenue if these properties are devalued. Unless there are covenants and codes to ensure that there is a limit to various types of outdoor objects such as grills, storage boxes, bikes, 3 wheelers, etc,, nearby property values could go down. Our RV camping experience has shown us that unless there is a strict policy of RV upkeep, the RVs themselves can lead to a devaluation of nearby property, 2. The proposal states: "Traffic on Farhner road would increase very little as Robinson Lake Bar is at the end of the road." • The campground is located at the end of almost 80 per cent of a dead-end road. ingoing and outgoing traffic by RVs, cars and recreational vehicles will definitely Increase traffic, dust and road damage to this portion of Farhner Road and connecting roads 3. Another significant challenge exists with an increase in boat traffic, Congestion and safety issues already exist at the boat landing which only has parking for two vehicles. It is a dangerous Intersection where cars and trailers are forced to park on the roadway. With the increase in boats there is a greater risk for the introduction of invasive species to the headwater lake of the Eau Claire Chain, If invasive species like miifoil or potlution damage the lake, these campers can leave, while those who pay taxes are left to pay for restoration. These are just a few of my concerns without including overfishing of lake area, pedestrian safety concerns, noise and road damage in general. I would encourage that you not recommend this proposal.

I discussed your application with Tracy last week since the application is in his review area. It was an oversight that he had seen the updated site drawings addressing the vegetative screen and parking lot removal. Please consider these conditions addressed. Please note that Tracy connected with the plumber again regarding the proposed sanitary for the site and it. is anticipated that they will be in this week to make some corrections to the sanitary application. The remaining item that needs to be addressed so we can issue the conditional use permit for the campground is the following condition placed by the Committee: > The applicant obtains an ingress/egress or private road access easement giving adequate access to lots located south of the proposed campground development. The easement is to be reviewed and approved by the Department to verify that the location will limit congestion and/or traffic hazards between the proposed campground and the existing private road access to the lots south of the proposed development. There are several access easements in the area. Tracy attempted to recreate this in the attached document. As far as the Department can determine the access easement giving ingress/egress to the property owners south of the proposed development runs along the eastern edge of TaxIDs 1340,1341, and 1339. The department needs a drawing showing the location of this existing access easement in relationship with the proposed campground development as any current site drawings do not provide a clear understanding of how this existing access easement is going to interact with the proposed layout of the campground. This includes documents received 9/11/23, see attached. Can you note what documents of the attached received 9/11/23 the department should retain? It looks like we were provided with duplicate site drawings but just wanted to confirm before recycling one set. I am happy to give you a call once my voice returns.

First of all I ask you to call me back I didn't want an email from Tracy Pooler who actually two of all those drawings you're asking for on September 111 was in the office there I came in to talk to you you were not in the office surprise and I submitted all the drawings I got them all posted they dated them. They did every they signed them in and you obviously have not looked at them they were all done by a professional engineer. There's a there's a vegetation plan a tree planting plan site plan without the parking lot on it and a grading plan there and you didn't look at any of them is what I'm guessing. Look Adam get me that permit in the mail or my attorney is gonna be calling you the drawings have been submitted on September 12 date permit for the septic is in there's no reason I shouldn't be getting this. I need this drawing and I don't need emails from Mr. Pooler. I wanna call from you to talk to me about this. I was in your office to talk to you about it you never you weren't there. Give me a call 612-709-7593.1 don't want an email from you or Mr. Pool or I wanna conversation. Thanks bye.

Do not click links or ooen attachments unless vou recoanize the sender and know the content is safe, This coming about because the county sat on the drawings I submitted on September 11th. They accused me of not submitting them and they were sitting in there office the whole time. Now that I'm looking for my permit they are questioning everything. I submitted grading plan the way the county was expecting it. County really has no clue and I agree with Todd. I do not plan to take hill down and I want to save as much negation as possible. I want a campground with trees and as little land disturbed as possible. As far as the county is concerned, this is a lawsuit waiting to happen. I have call everyone this went this morning with no luck. Thanks Greg Sent from myiPhone On Dec 15, 2023, at 9:50 AM, Todd Gibbon wrote: Good morning folks. A grading plan was not conducted for each site as a cost savings measure for the owner (Greg). The plan was to grade each site with the minimal grading possible to save as much vegetation as he could. Greg, if you want I can get you an estimate to do a detailed grading plan. The time frame would be late winter into spring before design work could start. The site is internally drained and the current EC plan provides protection to the future infiltration basin, which should also be used as construction sediment basin. Matt, what resource impact was the County concerned about that would necessitate a change to the EC plans? Greg, any update on construction activities?

He has not received or reviewed any easement document associated with your conditional use permit request for the campground. Do you have any idea when you believe your attorney would have submitted the easement document in question to the County attorney for review? Furthermore, we have been in contact with Matt Jacobson at the DNR related to the stormwater permit issued for the subject site. Matt provided us the application associated with the stormwater permit that you provided us a copy of on September 11, 2023. However, the grading plans provided to the DNR are drastically different then the grading plans submitted to us on September 11, 2023. Can you explain why this might be, see attached documents.

We are sorry to hearthatyou may not have received some mailed correspondence from the department. Be aware that the department would not update the mailing address from what is provided on an application unless the applicant requests it, so we were using the mailing address provided on the conditional use application, which was 7201 Oaklawn Ave, Edina, MN 55435. To date the department has not received any updates from you regarding resolving the comments we provided via email December 20, 2024, which is why your Bayfield County zoning permit for the campground was never issued. As such, we would discourage you from starting any work prior to the zoning permit being issued. Please let us know what questions you might have.

Please be respectful inyourvoicemails. As you know, Ms. Hulstrom inquired the reason for the delay in supplying the department with the documents regarding access to your neighbor's property. The reason for inquiring about the delay is that because of the length of delay, technically your application has expired. Pursuant to ordinance section 13-1 -21 (b)(5), "An incomplete or unfinished application shall expire twelve (12) months from the date received by the Planning and ZoningAgency, if not completed within such time period unless otherwise already expired.". Again, we would request that you provide the department with the reason for delay so that we can document in the file. As you know, there were some neighbors who were objecting to your project. Please also understand that your neighbors could potentially challenge the permit because of the delay and it would be to your benefit if we provide some documentation as the reason for the delay. Also, the county will be having the county surveyor review the documents that were provided to ensure that what was provided does in fact provide legal access to your neighbor. Once we receive an answer from you regarding the reason for the delay and once the county surveyor reviews your submissions, we will proceed to issue the permit. I have copied the County Administrator and the Zoning Committee Chairman to keep them aware of your situation. Cordially, John Carlson Bayfield County Attorney SPEARS, CARLSON & COLEMAN S.C. 122 W.

Tracy Pooler From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Attachments: RobbyTurnquist Tuesday, April 1, 2025 9:23 AM Ruth Hulstrom; Tracy Pooler John Carlson RE: Tax IDs 1283, 1339, and 1341 GL 2 Section 4 Aerial.pdf; GL 2 Section 4.pdf Ruth, I did not conduct a title search but briefly researched some documents in the area so there may be other easements/restrictions out there pertaining to these parcels. These folks will have to hire a surveyor if they need more detail. This is what I have found: There are discrepancies as to where the town road ends. The current gas tax map measurement of 0.21 miles forthe length of Fahrner road does notappearto match what is being maintained by the town. The Town of Barnes should update their gas tax map to reflect what is on the ground. See attached maps. Driveway Easement Document # 201 8R-573181 describes the easement as "A 95 foot in length and 33 feet in width access easement over and across the south line of Lot 2 starting at the end of Fahrner Road". This document is very poorly written and the benefited property/burdened property appear to be switched around . I am unable to determine the location of this easement and what the intent is. I can only guess that it was supposed to go southwesterly along the town road from the south line of CSM # 325 and follow the town road down to parcel Tax ID 1339. If this is the case, everything pertaining to this easement document is owned by Dalbec so currently it is not an issue. Hopefully this helps.

From: AI-Moghrabi, Ali N - DNR (Nick) Sent: Friday, April 4, 2025 12:26 PM To:tracv.pooler@)bavfieldcounty.wi.gov Subject: Zoning Complaint Good afternoon. DNR Hotline just got this complaint; appears to be mostly if not all zoning related if at all anything. Let me know if any assistance is needed. 51825FahrnerRd, Barnes,WI-conditional use permit to put in a campground. As a part of that, they needed an updated land-use plan, and they are putting in a septic tank. RP says from driving by there, it looks like the owner has clear cut everything, especially on the north side, and is leveling it out. RP thinks that was not part of the land-use plan, and the area where the septic will be going was not to be disturbed. It's 300 feet above Robinson Lake. RP believes the owner is disregarding some concerns in the area - especially that the owner should have been doing things that he is not. Culvert under roadway dumps water onto the property. On the steep north side, no retention protections have been put in, despite the steep grade. RP is mostly concerned that he was granted this approval with stipulations, but no one seems to be overseeing it to make sure he follows the stipulations. It also looks like he has taken down most of the tree cover. RP says the property looks like a sandpit at this time.

Myself and Warden NickAl-Moghrabi visited the site this morning at met with Jeremy Gohde, he was very helpful and got us up to speed with the status of construction. After taking a look at the site, the good news is that there was not any major non-comptiance issues with the site, although there are a few things that can be addressed to making things better down the road. 1. Weekly/ post rainfall inspections- the permit requires that at on a weekly basis and/or after every .5 inch rain event that the sediment and erosion controls are inspected and documented. There are some forms that the Department has developed to help with this:httpsi/Zdnj^sconsjn.gQV/loplc/Sto^ Whether this is done by you or your contractors doesn't matter, as long as they are completed and proper maintenance takes place. 2. Ensure that silt fence is properly trench in and installed- Fence was trenched but not adequately backfilled in all locations (acknowledging that this may be due to frozen ground conditions), and splices were not properly done, reference the technical standard for silt fencing: https://dnr,wjscQn^ 3. Ensure that the low spot on where everything is draining to is on your property. 4. Regarding the low spot- it is in your best interest to protect this area from runoff and siltation as much as possible, because if that area get sealed by the fine sediment in construction runoff could turn into a mosquito breeding haven, which is probably not the best thing to have next to a campground. Jeremy suggested a second row of silt fence, Ithinkthis is a good idea. Let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss. Thank you.

You can print the attached and display it on the site or we can mail a hard copy to you to display. Please let us know what you prefer. Reminder that if changes to the original request are needed, a new conditional use permit would be required. For example, if structures, like decks/patios or sheds, as depicted on the stormwater plans submitted to the DNR, see attached, are wanted a new conditional use permit would be needed prior to approval of a land use permit for these structure. The only structure that was approved with the campground use was a well house. Let me know if you have any questions.

Please be respectful in yourvoicemails. As you know, Ms. Hulstrom inquired the reason for the delay in supplying the department with the documents regarding access to your neighbor's property. The reason for inquiring about the delay is that because of the length of delay, technically your application has expired. Pursuantto ordinance section 13-1 -21 (b)(5), "An incomplete or unfinished application shall expire twelve (12) months from the date received by the Planning and Zoning Agency, if not completed within such time period unless otherwise already expired.". Again, we would request that you provide the department with the reason for delay so that we can document in the file. As you know, there were some neighbors who were objecting to your project. Please also understand that your neighbors could potentially challenge the permit because of the delay and it would be to your benefit if we provide some documentation as the reason for the delay. Also, the county will be having the county surveyor review the documents that were provided to ensure that what was provided does in fact provide legal access to your neighbor. Once we receive an answer from you regarding the reason for the delay and once the county surveyor reviews your submissions, we will proceed to issue the permit. I have copied the County Administrator and the Zoning Committee Chairman to keep them aware of your situation. Cordially, JohnCarlson Bayfield County Attorney SPEARS, CARLSON & COLEMAN S.C. 122 W.

Soil erosion during construction and increased runoff from added impervious areas and loss of habitat are some concerns. The site will be required to obtain a constmction site stormwater permit from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR). The stormwater permit will require that best management practices be installed prior to and during land disturbing activities. The best management practices will mitigate concerns of soil erosion. Peak flow and post construction sediment removal will also be required by WDNR. NR151 requires peak flow attenuation for the lyr and 2yr 24hr storm events, an 80% reduction ofTSS, and infiltration ofstormwater runoff. The performance standards ofNR151 will be met by the development of a stormwater management plan that is submitted and reviewed by WDNR staff. While some impact to upland habitat will occur as a result of the project, the impacts are consistent with previous campground projects within Bayfield County. 3.0 Nature of the Site and Surrounding Areas ci. Characterize the loail and regional iopograpln niui yt'c'logy, cspecitilly thosL' luctors pertinent to th.c proposeij 'Je'. c'loprnenl. • The proposed campground ground surface elevation varies from 1 142ft to 1200ft with slopes ranging from 7% to 22%. Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) for Robinson Lake Campground Page 1 b. Describe the soil types ot'the area to be developed and. include a soils map from the Soil Conservation Service. • The soil type of the area is primarily Rubicon sand and Rubicon-Sayner Complex made up of sand and loamy sand soil with hydrologic group A rating. c. Provide the results ofpercolation tests and core samples and list all foreseen limitations for streets and roads, dwellinss and foundations. • See appendix D. d. Describe the water resources of the region, including pertinent information on lakes (size. shape, location, important chemical-physical data if requested), streams and gronndwater. • Robinson Lake (89acres) is located just west of the project. The closest shorelme is approximately 200ft from the west edge of the project boundaries. The Robinson Lake Resort lies between the campground and Robinson Lake. Lake water elevation is approximately 1136'. e. Characterize the existing vegetation of the area to be developed. showing the distribution of the vegetative types on an attached map. • The project area is located in the North Central Forest region and vegetative cover in the area is 100% forested. Red pine, maple and oak dominate the tree population along with scattered white pine, birch, aspen and poplar. Ferns, grasses, wintergreen, and various mushrooms are among the smaller vegetation population. The Wiscland2 data set and available pdfmap was reviewed and a site visit confirmed the site to be Mixed Deciduous/Coniferous Forest. F. Summarize present land use patterns, indicating both the nature and the extent of land use in the proposed site and in the surrounding area. • The project area and surrounding area to the north, east, and south are presently undeveloped. West of the project area is Robinson lake. The shoreline adjacent to the project area is highly developed with multiple residential houses, Robinson Lake Resort and Bar, and Backwoods Resort. • See Appendix A for aerial photo, topographic map, WWI map, soil survey, and WDNR remediation site map, and ground water - source water protection area map. • See Appendix B for site photos. 4.0 The Proposed Development and Planned Alterations a. Provide a map showing the proposed lot locations and boundaries, as well as other important data such as locations of proposed buildings, roads, and easements. • See grading plans in Appendix E. b. Describe in detail, all proposed land alterations and provide a large scale topograpliic map (contour interval 10 feet or less. preferably 2 feet) of those proposed alterations. Consider landscaping details (list all provisions for limiting soil erosion), draining or tilling of wetlands, shoreland alterations, and whether the proposed alterations comply with this chapter. • The proposed campground consists primarily of 28 RV campsites, a parking lot with approximately 20 parking spots, two access points from the town Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) for Robinson Lake Campground Page 2 road, and an infiltration basin for stormwater management. Additionally the site will have a drinking well installed and sewer lines that will connect to a conventional septic system. See attached drawings in Appendix E for locations of proposed well and septic. c. Describe proposed alterations oflhe existing vegetation, and include any provisions being made to preserve or supplement the existing vegetation. • Trees, forest understory, and topsoil will be removed from RV campsite locations, internal driveways, and parking lot areas. Vegetation will be preserved in areas not identified for development. Revegetation of disturbed areas will generally be accomplished through placement of salvaged topsoil and seeding and mulching the disturbed areas. d. Describe plans to dispose of storm and melt \\aler runolT. • Stormwater and melt water runoff will be treated onsite to the requirements of NR151 and NR216 code via an infiltration basin. The development area is not tributary to Robinson Lake. c. Describe the proposed \\aste clis|->osal system: a. What type ol sewage disposdl system is tinlicipatecl'? • There are 28 campsites proposed each with onsite sanitary sewer hookup. Sanitary sewer will be treated onsite through a conventional septic drain field system. b. What is the anticipated volume of sewerage lo be generated? • An average of 30 gallons per day (GPD) of wastewater flow would be generated per site. There are 28 sites proposed. At full capacity, the campground would generate an average of 840 GPD ofwastewater flow. c. What arc the proposed plans for solid waste disposal? • A dumpster will be provided on site for garbage and solid waste disposal. t'. Describe the locations and estimated demands of proposed \\elis. • An average of 30 gallons per day (GPD) ofwastewater flow would be generated per site. There are 28 sites proposed. At full capacity, the campground would require an average of 840 GPD of fresh water. • Currently, there is one well QL860. The Well Construction Report is included in Appendix F. 5.0 Impact of the Development on the Natural Surroundings. a. List the species of fish. fowl. or land animals common to the area and their required habitats. What measures '.', ill be t.iken to preser\e lliese liabitat areas? • Panfish, largemouth bass, northern pike, walleye are common in Robinson Lake. Stormwater from the site does not enter the lake and will be routed into an onsite infiltration basin. • Waterfowl typically consisting of ducks and geese that are common in the area are unlikely to be impacted by the proposed project. The project is not directly on the lake and runoff is not tributary to the lake. Land animals common to this area include but not limited to deer, rabbits, raccoon, skunks, turkey, and squirrel. An endangered resources assessment through the NHI Public Portal was conducted. No endangered resources were flagged for this Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) for Robinson Lake Campground Page 3 location, with the exception of a bald eagle nest located within a two mile buffer. A bald eagle nest is not known to be within 700ft of the project area. No additional action is required by WDNR or US Fish and Wildlife Service. Habitat preservation is accomplished by minimizing the land disturbance foot print. b. If the site has fronta^e on tlie navi.uable water: • The site has no navigable water frontage. a. What allo'.vances \vill be made Ibr natural erosion processes'? NA b. What provisions \\ ill be made to rclard shoreline or bank erosion? NA c. What provisions will be made lo avoid em-ichmenl ul'tlic water bodies (.lue lo sc\ver;me or ninoff? • Stormwater from the site does not enter the lake and will be routed into an onsite infiltration basin.

The feasibilitv of the altem;ilives slioiilc] also be broudu oi.il. • One identified potential issue is erosion on disturbed slopes with grades greater than 20%. There is not alternative to disturbing these slopes as the grading on these slopes is necessary for construction of the infiltration basin required to provide TSS reduction and peak flow attenuation required by NR151 and NR216. The site is internally drained and has small risk of sediment laden water leaving the site and entering Robinson Lake. Disturbance on steep slopes, once completed, will require immediate revegetation and installation of erosion matting. • Two alternatives to the project were considered. The first alternative is the no build option. This option does not meet the project goals and was rejected. The second alternative was to locate the project elsewhere. Additional lands in close proximity to the existing Robinson Lake Resort were not available for sale. Purchasing land away from the existing Robinson Lake Resort is not viable option from an operations and logistics viewpoint. The proposed project must be located in close proximity to the existing resort for the project to be operationally viable. • 7.0 Economic-Social Impact Population a. What is the maximum anticipated populnlion oftl'ie development? Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) for Robinson Lake Campground Page 4 • The proposed campground consists of 28 RV sites. b. Lslimate tlic total user days per year. • The campground will be open seasonally as weather permits. Typically May through October. At full capacity the campground would be expected to hold 120 people an average of 4 days per week during the months of May through October (26 weeks) resulting in 12,480 user days estimated per year. • Economic Benefits - Assessment of the expected economic benefits the community will receive. a. Inputs into construction trade. b. Increases in assessed property values. c. Total anticipated tax revenue. d. Increased retail sales. • Tourism is a large part of the economy in the area. Outdoor sports attract visitors year round. Restaurant, grocery, retail, and adventure service owners depend on tourists. Increasing the availability of camping in the area would benefit all local restaurant, retail, grocery, and other small business owners, and in turn the local government and taxpayers in the area. Local construction and utility companies will also benefit. • Construction costs are going to be in the $200,000.00 dollar range and the economic impact to the campground alone should be $100,000.00 per year. Plus whatever renters spend in the local economy for 16 weeks of summer and fall. • The Community sees the economic impact of 28 new families enjoying the natural resources and additional 120 pupils to support the local businesses. If on a low average each person spends $30 anywhere in the community during one weekend for 16 weeks that's an additional $60,000.00 spent in the community at a minimum. Considering a $3,000 dollar night at any bar in the area would be a great night for sales that has to have a community impact. • Current land value of $12,000 would now be taxed at a much higher rate depending on final assessments. Services - This scctioii will assess some ol the costs and consequences ot servicing the proposed dcvdopmenl. such as: .i. ToUil leny,lh of proposed rooLls. • No additional public roads are constructed as part of this project. b. Estimated, annual cost ofsnovv i-ilo\\iny. • The campground will not require any snow plowing as it won't be open during the winter season. c. Assessmenl ol'|'>olential tralTic loads on i'uads leading From ihe subdivision to commercial centers. • Robinson Lake Rd and E Robinson Lake Rd are 22 ft two-lane roads with an ADT of 15-50 vehicles. The campground would add traffic from up to 28 RV sites. d. Lstimatcd cimiULil ;u'n(Hint ol'si.ilid \vaste m'lK'rated. • Using 0.921bs per person per day rate for solid waste production in campgrounds, an estimated 5.5 tons of solid waste would be generated annually. e. Fstimuted annual cost for scliools. Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) for Robinson Lake Campground Page 5 There would be no effect on the annual cost for schools. Distance from the nearest hospital. responsible fire department, and full-time police headquarters. Hayward is home to the Hayward Area Memorial Hospital. It's the closest hospital at 24 miles away. Hayward Police Station is also the closest police station. The Bames EMS and Ambulance is 2 miles away. Distance to the nearest fire department. The nearest fire department is 2 miles away to Bames Fire Department and EMS. Assessment of the potential prcssLire placed on public recreationa] facilities and any provision lor rcclucing such pressure within the development itsell. Local boat launches, beaches, ATV trails, and other public recreational facilities in the area are accustomed to high tourism traffic and the increased traffic from 28 sites will not overwhelm what is available.

Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive precipitation from tong-duration storms. The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D) and three dual classes (A/D, B/D, and C/D). The groups are defined as follows: Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water transmission. Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well drained soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture. These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission. Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of water transmission. Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission. If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D, B/D, or C/D), the first letter is for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas. Only the soils that in their natural condition are in group D are assigned to dual classes.

APPENDIX C Endangered Resources Preliminary Assessment WISCONSIN OEPT. OF NATURAL RESOURCES Endangered Resources Preliminary Assessment Created on 10/3/2022. This report is good for one year after the created date. DNR staff will be reviewing the ER Preliminary Assessments to verify the results provided by the Public Portal. ER Preliminary Assessments are only valid if the project habitat and waterway-related questions are answered accurately based on current site conditions. If an assessment is deemed invalid, a full ER review may be required even if the assessment indicated otherwise. =| Results A search was conducted of the NHI Portal within a 1-mile buffer (for terrestrial and wetland species) and a 2-mile buffer (for aquatic species) of the project area. Based on these search results, below are your next steps. Actions recommended to help conserve Wisconsin's Endangered Resources (these actions are voluntary, not legally required): The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is Federally protected by the Bald & Golden Eagle Protection Act. An eagle nest has been recorded within 1 mile of the project area. Visit the USRA/S Bald Eagle Management website (https://fws.gov/story/do-i-need-eagle-take-permit) for detailed guidelines and conservation measures for your specific project activity. Visiting the website and following USFWS guidance will satisfy the project's Endangered Resources requirements. This project has the potential to impact a nearby waterbody where a state special concern fish, mussel or aquatic insect may be present, therefore erosion and runoff prevention measures (https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/stormwater/standards/const_standards.html) are recommended during the course of the project to avoid impacts to aquatic species. If these follow-up actions cannot be implemented, an ER Review should be requested. A copy of this document can be kept on file and submitted with any other necessary DNR permit applications to show that the need for an ER Review has been met. This notice only addresses endangered resources issues. This notice does not constitute DNR authorization of the proposed project and does not exempt the project from securing necessary permits and approvals from the DNR and/or other permitting authorities.

Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive precipitation from long-duration storms. The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D) and three dual classes (A/D, B/D, and C/D). The groups are defined as follows: Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water transmission. Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well drained soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture. These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission. Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of water transmission. Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission. If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D, B/D, or C/D), the first letter is for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas. Only the soils that in their natural condition are in group D are assigned to dual classes.

Forest Resources and Ecosystems /<0%i!%%(%%?%?%%%%%i%%^(%{%%(((<%%%{<((^^ Forests are Wisconsin's dominant land use, comprising 48 percent of the state's landscape. Woodlands provide vast ecological, economic and social benefits to residents. The forests of Wisconsin are dynamic, living systems that respond to human influences and change through natural processes such as succession, severe weather events, climate change, fire, insect infestations and disease. This section focuses on the current state of Wisconsin's forest resources, how they have changed over time, and what those changes might mean for the future. This portion of the assessment will provide succinct, comprehensive and scientifically-based information that supports and informs the goals and strategies for sustainability. WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PLAN ECOL081CAL OF WISCONSIN Wisconsin's forests can be divided into two provinces as defined by the National Hierarchical Framework of Ecolog- ical Units (NHFEU), the Laurentian Mixed Forest (Northern Wisconsin) and the Eastern Broadlea-f Forest (Southern Wisconsin). These two provinces exist in Wisconsin because they adapted to the different soil types and climates that have supported them over thousands of years. In addition to these two broad categories of forests, the state can be divided into 16 ecological landscapes with different ecolog- ical attributes and management opportunities (Wisconsin DNR, 2018) (Map 1). The ecological landscapes encompass 16 eco-regions of Wisconsin, each defined by similar ecological attributes and management opportunities. (Map 1). They can be used to identify the best areas of the state to manage for different natural communities, key habitats, aquatic features and native plants and animals from an ecosystem management perspective. The following briefly describes the ecological and forest conditions for each ecological landscape. More information on Wisconsin's ecological landscapes, including information about environment and ecology, management opportunities for important ecological features, socioeco- nomic characteristics, and integrated management oppor- tunities can be found by visiting dnr.wi.gov and searching: Landscapes. Central Lake Michigan Coastal: Unusual plant communi- ties can be found here. A moderate climate and the region's bedrock, which is comprised of limestone and dolomite, support their growth. Historically, 96 percent of this area was forested. The dominant land use today is agriculture, with only 20 percent remaining in forested cover types. Nearly two percent of the entire ecological landscape is in public ownership. According to Forest Inventory and Anal- ysis data summarized in 2017, approximately 81 percent of land area in the Central Lake Michigan Coastal Ecological Landscape is non-forested. About 19 percent is forested (U.S. Forest Service, 2017). The predominant forest cover type group is elm/ash/cottonwood (47 percent), followed by oak/hickory (21 percent) and maple/beech/birch (10 percent). Central Sand Hills: Sandy soils are prevalent in this area, and the topography is characterized by glacial moraines and extensive wetlands. The landcover in this area is split predominantly between agriculture, forest and grasslands. Public ownership makes up approximately four percent of this ecological landscape. According to FIA data summarized in 2017, approximately 54 percent of land area in the Central Sand Hills Ecological Landscape was non-forested and about 46 percent was forested. The predominant forest cover type group is oak/hickory (51 percent of the forested area), followed by white/red/jack pine (21 percent). Central Sand Plains: Glacial outwash deposited much of this ecological landscape's sand into Glacial Lake Wisconsin. The western portion of this area is mostly forest and wetland. Public access to recreational lands is vital to all types of outdoor activity. About 30 percent of the Central Sand Plains Ecological Landscape - amounting to 655,200 acres - is publicly owned (Wisconsin DNR, 2005). This is higher than the statewide average of 20 percent and ranks this ecological landscape sixth out of 16 in the proportion of public ownership. There are about 184,300 acres of state lands and 39,450 acres of federal lands. County land accounts for 339,200 acres. Surface water adds another 92,000 acres. Of the 1.25 million acres of forestland in this ecological landscape, 42 percent is in public ownership (U.S. Forest Service, 2009). According to FIA data summarized in 2017, approximately 43 percent of land area in the Central Sand Plains is non-forested and about 57 percent is forested (U.S. Forest Service, 2007). The predominant forest cover type group is oak/hickory (35 percent of the forested area), followed by white/red/jack pine (29 percent) and aspen/birch (12 percent). Forest Transition: This ecological landscape extends to the east and west for 200 miles, and therefore has a variable climate. This landscape was entirely glaciated; thus, glacial till is the primary type of material found at the surface. The area once was almost entirely forested. Now, the largest blocks of forests within this landscape are limited to certain areas. According to FIA data summarized in 2017, approxi- mately 44 percent of the land area in the Forest Transition Ecological Landscape was forested. The predominant forest cover type groups are maple/beech/birch (42 percent), oak/ hickory (23 percent), and aspen/birch (17 percent). North Central Forest: This area has the shortest growing season of all ecological landscapes. The topography is char- acterized by many lakes, rivers and ground moraines. Forest covers approximately 75 percent of this landscape, which is primarily made up of mesic northern hardwood forest and aspen-birch forest types. Forty-two percent of the North Central Forest Ecological Landscape is publicly owned, mostly by federal, state and county governments. According to FIA data summarized in 2017, approximately 21 percent of the land area is non-forested and about 79 percent is forested (U.S. Forest Service, 2017). The predominant forest cover type group is maple/beech/birch (42 percent of the forested area), followed by aspen/birch (22 percent) and spruce/fir(13 percent). Northeast Sands: The retreat of the Green Bay Lobe during the last part of the Wisconsin glaciation molded this landscape into a flat, sandy outwash plain. Forests are the predominant landcover type, comprising almost 86 percent of the landscape. Aspen and birch are the most abundant cover type group. There is more public land by percentage in the Northeast Sands than in other parts of Wisconsin. Approximately 38 percent of all forested land is in public ownership with three percent under state control, eight percent federally owned, and 27 percent belonging to county and municipal governments (U.S. Forest Service, 2017). According to FIA data summarized in 2017, approximately 86 10 WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PLAN percent of the total area in the Northeast Sands Ecological Landscape is forested and about 14 percent is non-forested. The predominant forest cover type group is aspen/birch (23 percent of the forested land area), followed by oak/hickory (20 percent) and maple/beech/birch (17 percent). Northern Highland: This area is characterized by gently- rolling glacial outwash plains and a typical northern Wisconsin climate. The most extensive pineries are located in this landscape. Eastern white pines specifically have made their greatest recovery here since the cutover. Approx- imately 26 percent of land area in the Northern Highland Ecological Landscape is non-forested and about 74 percent is forested (U.S. Forest Service, 2017). The predominant forest cover type group is aspen/birch (26 percent of the forested area), followed by spruce/fir (21 percent) and white/ red/jack pine (20 percent). Northern Lake Michigan Coastal: This area boasts diverse geology and landforms, with exposed bedrock shorelines and a climate moderated by Lake Michigan. Most of the landscape is now agricultural but, historically, it was almost entirely forested. More than 13 percent of the forested land in the Northern Lake Coastal Ecological Landscape is in public ownership. Approximately 59 percent of land area is non-forested and about 41 percent is forested (U.S. Forest Service, 2017). The predominant forest cover type group is elm/ash/cottonwood (29 percent), followed by maple/beech/ birch (18 percent) and spruce/fir (17 percent). Northwest Lowlands: The cool climate and large acid peat- lands lead to the boreal-like conditions in parts of this land- scape. Forests here are extensive and relatively unbroken, covering 78 percent of the landscape. Fifty-eight percent of the forestland in the Northwest Lowlands Ecological Land- scape is in public ownership. The predominant forest cover type group is aspen/birch (44 percent of the forested area), followed by elm/ash/cottonwood (19 percent) and maple/ beech/birch (16 percent). Northwest Sands: The topography of this landscape is heavily influenced by glacial outwash. Lakes cover roughly five percent of this area, the third highest percentage among all ecological landscapes in Wisconsin. This area contains a mix of dry forests, barrens, grasslands, agriculture and wetlands which alone occupy significant area. Almost 50 percent of the forestland in the Northwest Sands Ecolog- ical Landscape is public land. In the forested area, which represents 81 percent of the total area, the predominant forest cover type groups are oak/hickory (27 percent), white/ red/jack pine (25 percent), and aspen/birch (23 percent). Southeast Glacial Plains: The Southeast Glacial Plains features extensive wetlands and the area is predominantly covered with agricultural croplands. About 12 percent of the land is forested. The Kettle Moraine State Forest argu- ably comprises the largest and most ecologicaily important landholding in this part of the state. This area is a major breeding site for forest interior species, especially birds. Four percent - or 226,230 acres - is in public ownership. About 58 percent of that public land is wetland and 42 percent is upland. According to FIA data summarized in 2017, forests cover 12 percent of the land area (U.S. Forest Service, 2017). The predominant forest cover type group is oak/hickory (39 percent), followed by elm/ash/cottonwood (24 percent) and maple/beech/birch (18 percent). Southern Lake Michigan Coastal: This area has the warmest climate and is the most urbanized of any ecolog- ical landscape in the state. Public ownership is very low, encompassing only one percent of the ecological landscape. The vast majority (91 percent) of this ecological landscape is non-forested, while nine percent is forested (U.S. Forest Service, 2017). Within the small percentage of land that is still forested, 48 percent is oak/hickory, 24 percent is elm/ ash/cottonwood, and 12 percent is maple/beech/birch. These should be considered rough estimates, as the rela- tively small number of FIA plots in this ecological landscape presents a high probability of sampling errors. Southwest Savannah: The fertile soils of this landscape lend themselves to the agricultural fields and pastures that cover 80 percent of the area. Pastured savannahs and prairies also host large populations of native plant species. Fewer than four percent of the ecological landscape is in public ownership. According to FIA data summarized in 2017, forestland occupies 13 percent of the total area and the predominant forest cover type group is oak/hickory (67 percent of the forested area), followed by maple/beech/birch (16 percent) and elm/ash/cottonwood (10 percent) (U.S. Forest Service, 2017). Superior Coastal Plain: The Superior Coastal Plain includes the Bayfield Peninsula and the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. This varied landscape allows for diverse vegeta- tion and land cover types. Old-growth forest remnants can be found on the Apostle Islands. Approximately 29 percent of all forestland is in public ownership with seven percent under state control, three percent federally owned, and 19 percent belonging to county and municipal governments (U.S. Forest Service, 2017). In the Superior Coastal Plain Ecological Landscape, almost 191,100 acres— or 21 percent - of all land and water is publicly owned. According to FIA data summarized in 2017, approximately 26 percent of land area is non-forested and about 74 percent is forested. The predominant forest cover type group is aspen/birch (45 percent of the forested area), followed by maple/beech/birch (16 percent) and oak/hickor/ (12 percent). Western Coulees and Ridges: This ecological landscape is the largest in the state. The area has variable climate and topography, leading to a wide range of diverse plants and animals. Forests comprises 42 percent of the land cover in this landscape, while agriculture accounts for 36 percent. Public ownership is only about three percent and much of it is associated with the large rivers. As of 2017,, approxi- WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PUN 11 mately 42 percent of the land area is forested (U.S. Forest Service, 2017). The predominant forest cover type group is oak/hickor/ (61 percent of the forested land area), followed by maple/beech/birch (13 percent) and elm/ash/cottonwood (11 percent). Western Prairie: Once entirely glaciated, this productive area now is mostly used for agriculture. The forest compo- nent of this landscape is mainly made up of oak-hickor/ and pine forest types. Three percent of the Western Prairie is in public ownership, much of which is associated with the St. Croix, Kinnickinnic and Willow rivers. Approximately 75 percent of the area in the Western Prairie Ecological Land- scape is non-forested and about 25 percent is forested (U.S. Forest Service, 2017). The predominant forest cover type group is oak/hickory (48 percent), followed by white/red/jack pine (13 percent) and aspen/birch (12 percent). 1. fl•HI fURIftULu^'bHS. s"u"uunE,.a u Wisconsin is unusual because it contains large areas of pre-Cambrian bedrock outcrops that are aged at 1,640 million years. Their unique structure, which has been preserved by erosion-resistant caprock, has garnered the attention of scientists around the world. Prominent bedrock features of Wisconsin include the Gogebic Range, Baraboo Range, Barron Hills, Rib Mountain, McCaslin Mountain Silurian "Niagara" escarpment in the east, Blue Mounds, and the dolomite escarpment that forms Military Ridge in the southwest. Bedrock affects mineral composition of soils locally and the eight major soil regions of Wisconsin relate closely to landforms and geologic mate- rials. Glaciation has largely determined the surface and topog- raphy of the state. Glaciers repeatedly advanced into and retreated from the area that is now Wisconsin. About 11,000 years ago, close to two-thirds of the state was covered by glacial ice. When the last glaciers receded from northern Wisconsin between 10,000 and 12,000 years ago, a complex array of habitats supported the colonization of plants, wildlife and humans. When the most recent glaciers melted, they left a rolling terrain covered in layers of glacial till and outwash. Among the characteristic landforms left behind by the glaciers are moraines, till plains, drumlins, outwash plains, eskers, kames and lacustrine plains. During glacial retreat, loess was deposited by wind on the surface of many adjoining areas, whether recently glaciated or not. The profusion of lakes, spring ponds, headwater streams and wetlands found throughout the northern portion of the state are the result of glacial action, which interrupted the normally dendritic drainage pattern of the streams. Though glacial deposits covered most of the bedrock in the eastern portion of the state, outcrops of dolomite, lime- stone, sandstone, basalt, granite, quartzite and serpentine also occur. Such outcrops can be biologically significant because they provide a substrate for several plants including some that are rare. Another geographic region of interest is the Driftless portion of the Central Plain, also known as the Central Sands. Many processes contributed to its topography. One formative agent was Glacial Lake Wisconsin. Within the Driftless Area of the Western Upland, the primary geomorphic processes are fluvial erosion (erosion by flowing water), mass-wasting (weathering of bedrock in place), and Karst formation (the dissolution and deposition of carbon- ates). Karst landforms include caves. Mineral Resources Mining for metals such as copper, lead, iron and zinc shaped the history of several regions of Wisconsin beginning with the Old Copper Culture, spanning 4000 to 1000 BC, to the lead mining activities of the early European settlers. The first permanent European settlers in Wisconsin were lead prospectors and miners who sought out deposits of lead and zinc in the southwestern part of the state in Grant, Iowa and Lafayette counties. Mineral Point, located just west of Madison, was an early mining town. Other important mineral mining activity occurs, and has occurred, around the rest of the state. Iron ore is found in Jackson County. There are large deposits in Ashland and Iron counties. Zinc deposits are found in northern Wisconsin. Sulfide deposits containing large amounts of copper and zinc are found in Forest, Oneida and Rusk counties. The sulfide deposits at Crandon in Forest County are believed to include one of the five largest supplies of zinc ever discovered in North America. Rich soils are mined in Wisconsin in addition to mineral, stone, gravel, basalt, clay, quartzite, sandstone, sand, silica sand, shale and peat. Stone, such as dolomite and granite, is a valuable resource in Wisconsin. Dolomite is found mainly in the southern part of the state and granite in the central and northern areas. Red granite became the state rock in 1971. Red granite was selected because of its beauty, economic value as a construction material, historical signif- icance,and because it is unique to the state of Wisconsin. Almost all of the counties in Wisconsin have sand and gravel deposits because gravel once was bound up in the conti- nental glaciers that moved across the state. The southwest corner of the state has the smallest grave] resource. As the glacial ice melted, the sand and gravel were released in streams of outwash and the material was sorted by stream action. These outwash plains are rich sources of sand and gravel and have been mined since the days of early settle- ment. The sand and gravel were important to settlers and loggers during the early years of road construction. 12 WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PLAN MAP 1 - ECOLOGICAL LANDSCAPES Superior Coastal Plain Northwest Lowlands I Miles so Southern Lake Michigan Coastal A to Jan 28. 2020 PA Division of Forestry Map 1: Ecological Landscapes of Wisconsin.

Where mining could present an impact on the sustainability of the forest within a legacy tract, easement language and management plan recommendations will reflect the need to protect and sustain the forest systems first and foremost. In some cases where a high potential for conversion to active surface mining exists in a proposed legacy tract, the purchase on mineral rights will be part of the conservation easement. Mining activities are regulated by state and local authorities. Environmental concerns include air quality, water quality, soil erosion and site reclamation. Mining has long played a role in Wisconsin's development. From 4000 to 1000 BC, during the Old Copper Culture, Native Americans mined copper along the shores of Lake Superior to use for spear points, knives, axes and other implements. More recently, the first permanent European settlers in Wisconsin were miners and prospectors who sought out deposits of lead and zinc in southwestern Wisconsin. There are no metal mines operating in Wisconsin, but deposits of iron ore are still found in Jackson, Ashland and Iron counties. In addition, sulfide deposits containing copper and zinc are documented in northern Wisconsin. The sulfide deposits in Forest County are believed to include one of the largest supplies of zinc ever discovered in North America. There are an estimated 2,500 to 3,000 active nonmetallic mines in the state. Nonmetallic mines are generally rock quarries and gravel pits. Sand and gravel deposits can be found throughout the state. Small gravel pits are commonly found in state and county forests for road surfacing and other projects. In addition, when purchasing new lands or conservation easements, ownership of mineral rights is investigated. On state forests, the mineral rights are retained by the state. FOREST CHARACTERISTICS, ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT Understanding the structure, growth and function of the forest ecosystems through continuous monitoring and assessment allows for the sustainable management of our forests so that they can provide a wide range of economic, ecological, and social benefits. kE; FOREST AREA, LAND COVER, & LAND USE Wisconsin's landscape has been shaped by a blend of both agricultural and forest uses over time. Historically, our forests were more diverse and structurally complex due to frequent fire disturbance processes that affected forests at the stand level (Meunier, Holoubek, Brown, & Sebasky, 2019). This diversity and complexity have been declining since before the European American settlement (Olden, J. D., Poff, 2003; Schulte, L. A., D. J. Mladenoff, T. R., Crow, L. C. Merrick, 2007), which is a global issue and evidence that heterogeneity created by fire disturbances is critical for maintaining species diversity and ecosystem resilience (Binkley, Sisk, Chambers, Springer, & Block, 2007). Of Wisconsin's 35 million acres of land, about 17 million acres are forested (U.S. Forest Service, 2017). Forest area in Wisconsin has steadily increased since 1968, mostly due to the conversion of marginal agricultural land into forests (Figure 1). Since 1983, forestland has increased almost 11.2 percent, or 1.7 million acres. However, the high point of forest area came in 2013 when Wisconsin recorded more than 17.1 million acres. This total may suggest that the increasing trend of forest area since the 1960s has peaked and is flattening out. According to the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) defi- nition (Oswalt, Smith, Miles, & Pugh, 2019), forestland is defined as land that is at least 120 feet (37 meters) wide and 1 acre (0.4 hectare) in size, with at least 10 percent cover (or equivalent stocking) by live trees. This definition includes land that formerly had such tree cover and will be naturally or artificially regenerated. Timberland is a subset of forestland. It is defined as forestland that is producing, or is capable of producing, crops of industrial wood (more than 20 cubic feet per acre per year) and is not withdrawn from timber utilization. Nearly all of Wisconsin's forestland also is considered timberland (Figure 1). Measures of forestland use and land cover describe the amount of forested area in Wisconsin. Land use indicates how the land is used, whereas land cover describes the on-the-ground conditions, as seen in remotely-sensed data. While closely related, assessments of land use and land cover may offer different interpretations. For example, a 14 WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PLAN recently harvested area that is starting to regenerate to forest would not have experienced a land use change. However, the land cover could be interpreted as shrub-cov- ered, resulting in a land cover change. In 2017, FIA shows forestland use makes up 48 percent of the land use in Wisconsin. As of 2014, Wiscland 2.0 (Appendix E) reports forest as the dominant land cover in Wisconsin, making up 40 percent of the land cover, followed by agriculture and wetlands (Figure 2, Map 2). Every year forestland is converted to non-forested land uses (developed), and some non-forest land is afforested, which is the conversion of previously non-forested land to forested land. As the abandonment of marginal agricultural lands contributed to the increase in forest area throughout the state over the past several decades, changes in popu- lation, economic conditions, and energy production and consumption will have a great effect on the area of Wiscon- sin's forests in the coming decades. Population increases are projected to cause roughly 352,000 acres of Wisconsin forestland to be converted to urban land by 2050 (D. J. Nowak&Walton,2005). 14.0 13.5 13.0 1936 1946 195G 19B6 1976 Year -•-Forest land -a-Timberiand 1996 2006 2018 2026 Figure 1: Area of forest land and timberland, Wisconsin, 1936 to 2017, Error bars represent the 68 percent confidence interval.

Source: Wl DNR, 2016 Coinciding with the prediction that urbanization will be the major threat to forestlands in the coming decade, there also continues to be an increase in housing development in non-urban areas. The construction of houses and asso- ciated roads removes and fragments habitat, and changes the structure and composition of remaining vegetation (Carter et al., 2019; Dale, Archer, Chang, & Ojima, 2005; Hansen et al., 2005)but such information is rarely included in conservation plans. In the U.S., recently updated State Wildlife Action Plans identify Conservation Opportunity Areas (COAs. Understanding changes in population and housing are important as communities grapple with their future. According to the U.S. Census, there were 2.6 million housing units in Wisconsin in 2010. This number was esti- mated to have increased to about 2.7 million housing units in 2018 (Figure 3). With the increase in both urbanization and housing density, it is important to note the spatial distribution of these changes across the state. Under a dynamic forest scenario, there is potential for greater change within forests located in southern Wisconsin than in northern Wisconsin, according to a 2012 study titled "Past and Potential Future Land Cover Change Around Wisconsin's State Forests." The primary threat to southern forests is that of conversion to urban land uses (Rittenhouse, Padley, Martin, & Rissman, 2012). More urbanized areas of the state are projected to see additional households. Meanwhile remote, rural areas and older indus- trial communities are projected to lose households (Haines, A., Markham, L, McFarlane, D., Olson, E., Roberts, R., & Stall, 2015). In Wisconsin, higher housing densities can be found in the southeastern part and in the Fox Valley (Curtis & Lessem, 2014).

Source: Wl DOA, 2018 Road density also has increased over the last 10 years and this trend is projected to continue. Roads fragment land- scapes and facilitate the development of housing. As road and housing density increases, forest landscapes become increasingly fragmented and interior forest patches shrink (Gucinski et al, 2001). Roads are a necessary component of our society and the management of forests. They provide access for housing, recreational activities, hunting, fishing, research, fire control, forest improvement activities, timber harvesting and other uses. Roads also have well-documented short- and long-term effects on the environment and can be highly controversial as society balances the benefits of biodiversity against social and economic needs. An increase in road density affects biodiversity by removing and fragmenting habitat; altering composition, structure and function of adjacent ecosystems; increasing edge and decreasing interior forest; providing avenues and sources of invasion for exotic species; altering hydrological networks; and increasing ecosystem distur- bance through human access and activity. These impacts are both direct (e.g., road kills and potential overhunting) and indirect (e.g., habitat alteration and wildlife behavioral changes). Another key contributor to fragmentation of the forested landscape is the reduction in the size of ownerships as individual land parcels are divided and sold to multiple owners. Parcelization continues to occur in Wisconsin and is evidenced by the increased number of landowners and the smaller average parcel sizes (Table 1; Table 2). In addition to concerns of habitat connectivity, a decrease in forest parcel size could make loggers less likely to place bids on land. (Gobster & Rickenbach, 2004; Haines, Kennedy, & McFar- lane, 2011; Kelty, Kittredge Jr., Kyker-Snowman, & Leighton, 2003; Sampson & DeCoster, 2000) A drop in business from loggers could have negative economic consequences for landowners (see the Forest Socioeconomics section). 18 WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PLAN Ownership Private Forest Non-lndustrial Private Forest Year 1997 41 37 2006 30 28 2013 29 26 Table 1: Privately-owned Forest Land Average Parcel Size (Acres).

After the cutover period, Wiscon- sin's forests have grown to 17 million acres. Over the last 10 years or so, forest area in Wisconsin appears to be stabi- lizing, with annual acreages of afforestation and deforestation being nearly equal. 'I'3 Urbanization and other land use changes will potentially lead to a loss of forest land in the future.2 Parcelization and fragmentation decrease the quality and scale of forested habitats and may make management goals more costly, and difficult to achieve.2 FOREST COMPOSITION, STRUCTURE & DYNAMICS Forest composition and structure are dynamic, changing over time within stands of trees and across forested land- scapes. Many factors combine to influence forest dynamics, including: the ecological context; climate; soil; forest disturbances such as fires, storms, insects, diseases, and harvesting; regenerative ability of tree species; presence of other plants and animals; and other forest management decisions. Change in forest composition and structure are generally slow but can be abrupt and drastic if conditions change rapidly due to disease or disturbance. Trends of forest composition analyzed here are generalized and may differ locally or regionally across the state. One way to evaluate forest composition is by looking at forest type groups, which are combinations of forest types that share closely associated species or site requirements. Although the names of the groups are comprised of 2-3 species, this does not indicate that the groups include only those species in the group name (Appendix D). As reported in the Forest Inventory and Analysis for Wisconsin, six forest type groups cover nearly 95 percent of Wisconsin's forest land. The dominant forest type groups are oak/hickory (26 percent), maple/beech/birch (22 percent), and aspen/birch (18 percent), while elm/ash/cottonwood (10 percent), white/ red/jack pine (10 percent), and spruce/fir (8 percent) each also cover over a million acres of land (Figure 4). Since 2009, the most notable changes in forest type group composition are an increase in the oak/hickory group and white/red/jack WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PLAN 1 9 pine group and a decrease in the aspen/birch group (U.S. Forest Service, 2017). Across forest type groups, the volume of growing-stock trees in different diameter classes varies greatly. In the aspen/birch and spruce/fir groups, trees with diameters from 5-9.9 inches make up about half of growing-stock volume, and volume decreases steadily as diameter class increases (Figure 5), whereas the maple/beech/birch, oak/hickory, and white/red/jack pine groups have the greatest concentration of volume in trees with diameters from 10-14.9 inches. In the elm/ash/cottonwood group, 5-9.9 inches is the diameter class with the most volume, but volume does not decrease as drastically as diameter class increases. The oak/pine groL|p is evenly distributed from 5-20+ inches (Figure 5). These diameter distributions are not surprising in that the early successional forest type groups (Aspen/birch and spruce/fir) hold their volume in the smaller size classes, while later successional or longer-lived forest type groups (maple/beech/birch and oak/hickory) tend to hold larger volumes in the larger size classes. 2009 •2017 ~s = Oak/Hickory Aspen/Birch Elm/Ash/Cottonwood White/Red/Jack Pine Spruce/Fir Forest Type Groups Figure 4: Wisconsin forest type groups distribution in millions of acres in 2009 and 2017.

Source: U.S. Forest Service, 2017 Looking closer at tree species, the estimated number of growing-stock trees (^5 inches d.b.h.) on timberland has increased by 1.7 percent since 1983. In 2017, red maple was the most abundant tree species in Wisconsin's forests with 254 million growing-stock trees (12 percent of all stems), followed by quaking aspen (228 million, 11 percent of stems) and sugar maple (217 million, 10 percent of stems) (Figure 6); all of which occur mostly in northern and central Wisconsin. Of the 10 species that have the most volume across the state, eastern white pine and red pine have increased in number of stems by 21 percent and by 10 percent respectively since 2009. White oak, which occurs mostly in southern and central Wisconsin, was the only species that decreased in number of stems by more than 10 percent since 2009, decreasing by 15 percent. In 2017, sugar maple had the largest volume of grow- ing-stock trees on timberland at 2.4 billion cubic feet (Figure 7). Between 1983 and 2017, the total volume for all species increased by 1.2 percent annually, whereas between 2009 and 2017, total volume increased by a more modest 0.6 percent annually. Of the 10 species that have the most volume across the state, eastern white pine (26 percent), red pine (16 percent), and northern red oak (13 percent) had the greatest increases in volume of growing-stock trees since 2009. None of the top 10 most voluminous species decreased in volume by more than 10 percent between 2009 and 2017, but several other important species, including paper birch, jack pine, and American elm, experi- enced such declines (Appendix F).

Source: U.S. Forest Service, 2017 22 WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PLAN A notable pattern over the past few decades has been the increasing acreage of stands that are getting older in Wisconsin, in particular, the 60 to 100-year-old group (Figure 8). Illustrating the maturation of forest cohorts since the cutover, acreage of forest stands older than 60 years increased by nearly 80 percent between 1983 and 2017. In the same time period, the acreage of forest stands younger than 60 years has decreased by 18 percent, while acreage of forests over 100 years had decreased by 24 percent. The acreage of forests at or near old growth clas- sification is decreasing. The current distribution of acreage of age classes skews towards 'middle-aged' forests. Ideally, there would be a more evenly distributed acreage between younger, middle-aged and older forests represented on the landscape, and a diversity of successional stages would be represented in different cover types. All age classes, seral stages and successional phases are important habitat for many species, but some of these classes are under-repre- sented on the landscape and difficult to maintain. It is important to note that part of this trend may be influenced by increasing utilization of uneven-aged forest management. Stands that are managed using these methods may have a stand age based on the oldest trees, but also contain cohorts of younger trees. Another factor to consider is that different forest types may be considered "old" at 60 to 80 years (e.g., aspen, jack pine) while others may be "young" or "middle-aged (e.g., oak, northern hard- woods). Looking at forest size class will also be important to accurately characterize the aging trend (Figure 9). As Wisconsin timberland acreage has increased overall, large diameter acreage has increased more than 50 percent since 1983. Meanwhile, small and medium diameter acreage have experienced a slight decrease. Here, large diameter size class is defined as when more than 50% of the basal area is in trees that are greater than 9 inches diameter at breast height (DBH) for softwoods, and greater than 11 inches DBH for hardwoods; medium diameter size class is defined as when more than 50% of the basal area is in trees between 5 and 9 inches DBH for softwoods, and between 5 and 11 inches DBH for hardwoods; small diam- eter size class is defined as when 50% of the basalareas is in trees smaller than 5 inches DBH. 1983 •2017 0 to 20 years 21 to 40 years 41 to 60 years 61 to 80 years 81 to 100 years 101 to 150 years 151 to 200 years 2D1+years Figure 8: Total acreage oftimberland between 1983 and 2017 distributed by stand age class.

Source: U.S. Forest Service, 2017 As a result of fire suppression, forest canopies tend to stay closed shading the forest floor, resulting in mesophication (Nowacki & Abrams, 2008). In the absence of major distur- bance such as fire, storms, or large-scale management, succession to shade-tolerant and longer-lived species has and will continue to take place. In Wisconsin's forests, tree species that depend on disturbance to regenerate are decreasing in number and/or volume. These include quaking aspen, bigtooth aspen, jack pine, paper birch, and some oak species. Species that are more shade-tolerant - and typically follow the early successional species - are increasing in number. These include sugar and red maples, eastern white pine, and American basswood. As new pests appear, or established ones become more widespread, some later successional species such as Amer- ican beech (beech bark disease) and red and white pines and spruces (Heterobasidion root disease [HRD], formerly known as annosum root rot), may begin to decline in number and volume. While species such as white, green, and black ash will see more wide spread mortality due to emerald ash barer, this may reset succession to a certain degree in certain forest types, but without intervention (e.g., invasive species control, under plantings, etc.) the compositional changes may not be desirable. As Wisconsin Forestry moves forward to face these challenges, some agencies are in the midst of developing plans to address the changes in forested landscapes. One program, the Forest Genetics Program in Wisconsin has two important goals: 1). The development of biologically sound tree improvement practices that lead to increases in forest productivity and forest health in Wisconsin; 2). The conservation of forest genetic resources in long-term breeding programs in order to maintain a broad genetic base that can provide future ecological benefits and accommo- date potential future changes in climate, pest pressures, forest management practices, or demand for products.

''•2 For most species, tree numbers and volume change slowly over time, but some species, such as paper birch, red maple , and red pine, are experiencing rapid changes in numbers and volume, which may be particularly important drivers for wildlife habitat and the forest products industry as species become more or less abundant on the land- scape.1'3 Pests and diseases may cause large scale successional changes, especially in single species forest types such as lowland black ash forests in northern Wisconsin.2 Absence of fire and other disturb ances in Wisconsin's forests and woodlands have contributed to a decline in the regeneration of important fire dependent species.1'2'3 FOREST PRODUCTIVITY The components of forest change - growth, removals, and mortality - are important indicators of forest productivity and sustainability. Tree growth data should always be considered with mortality and removals data in order to understand how forest composition may change in the future. An additional measure of forest productivity is tree and stand quality. Although minimal tree quality data is available in FIA, clas- sification systems are being developed by agencies to track this indicator. When looking at the top 10 species with the highest volume production in Wisconsin in 2017, each species is telling a different story. The different stories are caused by differences in supply, demand, biotic factors (e.g., pests and diseases), and environmental conditions (e.g., drought, flooding, storm events, or longer or shorter winters). Main highlights are described in Table 3.Net growth to removal ratio of all species is often used as a broad indicator of sustainability. However, it is critically important to look at this ratio species by species, by area and over time to better understand if species are being over- or underutilized. It also does not give any indication of successful regeneration, recruitment or succession. With those caveats, it still can be useful as a general indicator of sustainability. A ratio greater than one indicates that more volume of net growth is occur- ring than volume of mortality, while a ratio less than one indi- cates that more mortality is occurring than net growth. The historic trend for this ratio in Wisconsin has remained steady around 2.0. The current ratio of 1.9 means that nearly two times the amount of volume is added by growth annually than is being harvested. The growth, removal and mortality rates of many tree species have remained stable over time; however, a few notable trends can be seen (Figure 10). 2017 Tree net growth (gross growth minus mortality) Tree mortality Tree removals Growth/removals ratio Average of 567 million ft (an increase of about 25 million ft since 2009). Species with an annual net growth > 50 million ft^: Eastern white pine, red maple, red pine, northern red oak, quaking aspen, sugar maple. Average mortality: 239 million ft3 (an increase of 31 million ft3 since 2009). Highest mortality volumes: quaking aspen, bigtooth aspen, American basswood, red maple, and northern red oak. Growing-stock volume: 288 million ft3 (decrease of 7 million ft3 from 2009). Sawtimber: 839 million board feet (70 million ft3) (decrease of 27 million board ft from 2009) Species with the largest volume of hardest removals: quaking aspen and red pine. Statewide ratio of 1.9 (1.7 in 2009). None of the top ten species by volume currently has a G/R ratio less than 1.0. Species with G/R ratios > 3.0 are northern white-cedar (18.0), eastern white pine (5.1), and northern red oak (4.1). Table 3: General highlights for tree growth, mortality, removals, and growth/removals ratio for 2017. Source: U.S. Forest Service, 2017 WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PLAN 25 Quaking aspen and bigtooth aspen are short-lived pioneer species that colonize openings, grow quickly, and then senesce as the shade-tolerant, longer-lived species grow underneath. For this reason, it is not surprising that these species have the highest mortality rates among the top 10 commercially important species in Wisconsin. From 2009 to 2017, the growth to removal ratio for quaking aspen increased from 0.87 to 1.10, while the growth to removal ratio for bigtooth aspen increased from 0.84 to 1.09. In other words, aspen is currently growing at a rate slightly faster than it is being harvested, but it is still ver/ close to even. This trend merits continued scrutiny (Figure 10). Species with relatively high net growth and low removal rates (e.g., eastern white pine and red maple) are increasing by volume in the state. These species grow well in many different nutrient and moisture regimes and have limited markets. Given these trends, these species will continue to gain in relative density and dominance in the future (Figure 10). Another species worth mentioning is northern white cedar. The data shows a very sharp increase in the growth to removals ratio (Figure 10). The volume has been increasing in existing trees, but cedar does not seem to be regener- ating successfully throughout its range. 80,000,000 60,000,000 40,000.000 20.000.000 0 6.00 4.00 2.00 Sugar Maple Red Maple Northern Red Oak Eastern White Pine I I I I 1.1 I - - Tree Growth Mortality Removals Tree Growth Mortality Removals Tree Growth Mortality Removals Tree Growth Mortality Removals 2009 2017 Red Pine 80,000.000 60,000,000 40.000,000 20,000,000 0 6.00 4.00 2.00 0.00 Quaking Aspen American Basswood Northern White-cedar I I III Tree Growth Mortality Removals Tree Growth Mortality Removals Tree Growth Mortaiity Removals Tree Growth MoUality Removals zo.uo 15.00 10.BO 5.00 0.00 2009 2017 2017 White Oak 80,000,000 60,000.000 40,000,000 20,000.000 0 6.00 4.00 2.00 0.00 Tree Growth Mortality Removals Bigtooth Aspen • - • Tree Growth Mortality Removals 2009 2017 2009 2017 Figure 10: Tree growth, mortality, removals (ft3), and growth-to-removal ratio of growing-stock trees in 2009 and 2017,for the 10 species with the highest volume in Wisconsin.

Source: U.S. Forest Service, 2017 26 WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PLAN The composition and abundance of tree seedlings drives the sustainability of forest ecosystems in the early years of stand development and sets the stage for the future. The lack of sufficient regeneration is a problem in many forest types and can be due to a number of reasons, such as deer browse, competition from invasive species, exotic earthworms, lack of disturbance, and others. Poor oak regeneration and decreased volume for species that rely on disturbance to regenerate have been noted as issues (Perry, 2015). On average across all forest types, there is a shift occurring toward shade tolerant seedlings (maples and others) and away from shade intolerant seedlings (aspen and others). In many areas of the state, high deer densities have led to a lack of adequate regeneration of certain species (such as northern white cedar, northern red oak, hemlock, and yellow birch). Through selective and intensive browsing, deer affect the kinds and numbers of plants present in an area, impair the growth of new trees, delay regeneration, alter tree species and structure of the forest, both present and future. The effects of deer browsing on the composition and struc- ture of Wisconsin's forests can have long-lasting "legacy," effects that persist for decades impacting the economics of future forests. To more thoroughly investigate trends across the state, the Wisconsin DNR Forest Regeneration Monitoring Program (FRM) was launched in 2018. FRM data from approximately 160 different stands and nearly 1,000 plots located primarily on privately owned land within counties that are 30 percent or more forested, show that recently harvested stands being managed for oak are predominantly composed of non-oak species, and do not meet recommended regen- eration criteria on average. This suggests that current oak regeneration strategies may be inadequate and further investigation is needed. In addition, 35 percent of harvested oak stands had landowners shift their management objec- tives to another cover type post-harvest (primarily central hardwoods). Oak regeneration is less prolific in the Driftless area and northeastern Wisconsin, with lower average seed- ling densities. FRM data suggest deer browse has a larger impact on northeastern and west-central Wisconsin than other parts of the state, which loosely correlates to esti- mated statewide deer population densities. Forest Productivity: CONDITIONS & TRENDS Wisconsin's forest growth has consistently outpaced removals. This trend has contributed to the increasing total volume of trees in Wisconsin's forests, and indicates that more removals on average can be sustained in the long term. It is critically important to look at this trend species by species to better understand if species are being sustain- ably managed.1'3 Lack of oak regeneration signals the need to assess current management and regeneration tactics to ensure that oak remains a major component of Wisconsin's forests.1'3 Species with increasing rates of harvest but low regeneration numbers (such as red pine and white oak) could diminish on the landscape over time. L 2'3 Market changes in the value of certain species or products may prompt changes in the focus of forest management. 1.2 Deer browse, native and exotic insects and pathogens, exotic earthworms, exotic invasive plants and altered distur- bance regimes, can result in inadequate forest regeneration or altered species compositions.2 In high deer density areas, deer browsing has long lasting impacts to forest structure, composition and economics.2 SOIL PRODUCTIVITY AND WATER QUALITY Soil productivity and water quality are essential to Wiscon- sin's economy and healthy ecosystem. Lakes, streams and wetlands provide habitat for wildlife, fish, and other aquatic species. Our forests play a vital role in maintaining clean water for streams, lakes, groundwater and is essential for clean drinking water. Forests also provide buffering during snow melt runoff and peak flooding events. Over 10 million acres of Wisconsin's forest land have a management focus to protect soil and water resources. Wisconsin's abundant waters extend over 330 watersheds and 32 basins. These are certified and forest service lands, required to follow best management practices for soil and water quality. These acres include DNR forests and managed lands, national forests, county forests, private forests enrolled in the Managed Forest Law program. Forest Crop Law program, federal lands from U.S. Geological Survey Gap Dataset, Board of Commissioners of Public Lands (BCPL) and Forest Legacy Easement lands. This mosaic of ownerships and how they manage their lands has an impact on water quality; therefore, it is essential to look at the whole context. When implemented, forest manage- ment commitments can prevent the degradation of soil resources and maintain the quality of water resources. WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PUN 27 Forest cover plays a key role in the quantity and quality of water. Large forested areas provide water filtration and contribute to clean drinking water reservoirs. Changes in forest cover can have corresponding changes in the hydrologic cycle and the surrounding watershed. The FIA data above indicates that forest cover in Wisconsin is increasing and maturing which in turn can positively affect the hydrology through movement of water, transpiration and interception. However, some areas across the state such as the southeastern portion have less forested acreage with more urban and agricultural land cover. Guidelines designed to protect soil and water resources can be found in Wisconsin Forest Management Guidelines (FMGs), Wisconsin's Forestry Best Management Practices for Water Quality Field Manual (BMPs for Water Quality) and Wisconsin's Forest Land Woody Biomass Harvesting Guidelines (Bronson, Edge, Hardin, Herrick, & Knoot, 2009; Holaday, Wagner, & WIDNR, 2010; Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, 2018). One of the more effective methods to assure that forestry operations do not adversely affect soil and water quality in Wisconsin is through use of the BMPs for Water Quality. The BMPs for Water Quality program has been implemented in Wisconsin since 1995 to comply with the Federal Clean Water Act. BMPs are manda- ton/ for landowners selling certified wood and are consistent generally accepted methods of protecting water quality. The use of BMPs for Water Quality by all forest landowners and land managers is strongly encouraged because of their high degree of effectiveness in protecting water quality when the BMPs are implemented correctly. The use and effectiveness of BMPs for Water Quality are monitored by different landowner categories on a five-year cycle. This provides information on BMPs for Water Quality application rates and how effective BMPs for Water Quality are when they are implemented. Since 1995, the Wisconsin DNR has worked with its partners to monitor the application and effectiveness of forestry BMPs for Water Quality on over 800 timber harvests on federal, state, county, tribal, and private forest lands. BMPs for Water Quality are broken down into different monitoring categories: fuels, waste, lubricants, and spills, riparian management zones, forest roads, timber harvesting, and wetlands. Monitoring teams have found that soil and water resources are protected over 99 percent of the time when BMPs are used correctly when needed. However, when BMPs for Water Quality are not implemented, negative impacts to water quality can be observed 70 percent of the time. This demonstrates the value of following BMPs for Water Quality. As the user demands on forest roads continue to increase, especially on public land, the correct implemen- tation of BMPs becomes increasingly important to protect water quality especially with increased magnitude of precip- itation events making the roads vulnerable to degradation. Soil productivity is defined as the capacity of soil to support plant growth and is often measured in volume of trees produced. It is a major factor in determining the amount of timber harvesting that can be sustained over time. Forestry operations is one of the main factors that can affect soil quality. Since the soil can be disturbed by either compac- tion, rutting or erosion, the most effective way to maintain soil quality is to prevent and minimize these disturbances through careful administration, layout of road infrastructure and other planning measures. Soil disturbance can also encourage an invasion of non-native plants which can have an impact on forest productivity. Wisconsin's Forest Land Woody Biomass Harvesting Guidelines were designed to limit degradation of soil resources and to prevent soil erosion caused by biomass harvesting (whole tree harvesting) activities on sensitive soil types (nutrient poor soils, certain wetland soils, and soils in steep terrain) (Bronson et al., 2009; Holaday et al., 2010; Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, 2018). The goals of these practices are not only to avoid loss of productivity, but also to protect lakes, streams, and wetlands from excessive sediment loads due to accelerated erosion. Conversely, restrictions on management operations may result in reduced ability to manage forest stands and may in fact hinder some species that rely on bare soil. When conducting timber sales on sensitive soils (often in wetlands), the timber sale contracts often require the ground to be frozen or dry in order to reduce the impacts to soils from harvesting equipment. With the length of frozen ground conditions potentially getting shorter due to climate change, the windows of opportunity to harvest on those sites may diminish (see Climate Change section). 28 WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PLAN Soil & Water Quality: CONDITIONS & TRENDS When applied correctly, guidelines designed to protect soil and water resources are effective and their continued implementation is critical. 'I'3 The focus on limiting soil disturbances may affect regeneration of species which rely on bare, open soil, such as white and yellow birch and oak. 1'2 Although still applied at a high rate, implementation of BMPs for Water Quality related to forest roads could be increased to reduce impacts to water quality.1'3 Forest cover plays a key role in maintaining water quality, watershed and drinking water.1' 3 WILDLIFE The Wisconsin Wildlife Action Plan (WWAP) (visit dnr. wi.gov and search: Wildlife Action Plan} is the comprehen- sive resource for the conservation of rare and declining species and their habitats in our state. The WWAP was first published by the department in 2005 and updated in 2015 to satisfy funding eligibility through the State Wildlife Grant Program—the only nationwide program to prevent wildlife from becoming endangered. The WWAP should be looked at as the first resource for the conservation of rare and declining species and habitats, however this document will focus on a few forest specific wildlife issues. The WWAP identifies 131 vertebrate and 306 invertebrate Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN). Of these, about half of the vertebrates are associated with the 17 forested community types described in the plan. All but two of the forested community types are used by at least 15 vertebrate SGCN, and some SGCN are limited to only a single forested community type. Of these forested commu- nities, floodplain forests support the highest number of rare vertebrates, based on Wildlife Action Plan data. Wisconsin supports almost 700 species of vertebrates, well over 2,000 native plant taxa, and tens of thousands of invertebrates, along with numerous lichens and non-vascular plant species. Although not all these organisms use forested habitats, Wisconsin forests provide important, sometimes critical, habitat for many them. All stages of forest development provide habitat for wildlife and plant species that depend on forests at some point in their lives. As forests mature, certain stages of forest will become less common across the landscape as others become more common. In addition, certain types of forests or species dominance will fade as the canopy closes and sunlight-demanding or early successional species are replaced by shade-tolerant ones. In the absence of natural disturbance, active management in the form of harvesting, prescribed burning and/or artificial regeneration are required to maintain young forests in the landscape. If left mostly undisturbed, or managed for old-growth characteristics, mature or middle-aged stands will begin to show the char- acteristics of old-growth benefiting a wide array of plant and animal species. As large and old trees die, small trees will fill gaps in the canopy created by these trees creating a diverse, layered forest structure. As the stand ages, snags and dead woody debris will provide multiple benefits and habitat heterogeneity. Several of Wisconsin's key trends that impact forested communities include changes in overstory species compo- sition, relative lack of acreage of young early successional and old growth forests, forest simplification, lack of certain structural features in many forests, forest fragmentation, invasive species, intense deer herbivory, and expected climate change effects. Plant and animal species that are known or suspected to be rare are designated on the NHI Working List (https://dnr. wi.gov//org/land/er/wlist/l. The Working List includes those species protected by state and/or federal laws as threatened or endangered, as well as "special concern" species that may be at risk of becoming threatened or endangered in the future. For animals, -the Working List species closely corre- spend to the SGCN described in WWAP. Wisconsin has 24 species that are federally threatened or endangered. State threatened or endangered species include 130 plants, 46 invertebrates, 24 birds, 20 fish, 7 reptiles, and 5 mammals. Some species have recovered sufficiently in Wisconsin to be removed from state and/ or federal listing in recent years. Others not yet listed as threatened or endangered have experienced substantial declines in numbers, either locally or across their ranges, and may require future protection; for animals, the WWAP is designed to outline steps to conserve these species before this happens. Avoiding take of threatened and endangered species is required by state and federal law. The department has developed several tools to help land managers interpret rare species information and avoid these species in cases where timber harvest is a desired management tool. There are mitigation strategies that can and have been employed that allow timber management to take piace while ensuring Wisconsin's populations of listed species remain healthy. Namely, limiting the timing or type of management that can WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PLAN 29 occur and issuing harvesting permits. Taken individually, most of these strategies are not generally an economic burden on the forest industry as less than 10 percent of timber sales are constrained by the endangered/threatened species requirements (Demchik, Conrad, IV, McFarlane, & Vokoun, 2017)\nproductivity, and at-risk species. The objec- tives of this study were to\nidentify the most commonly imposed seasonal restrictions, investigate\nfactors that may be related to seasonal harvest restrictions, and\ ncompare the availability of timber sales by season. Timber sale cutting\nnotices, forest product permits, and other documentation were used to\ncollect information on 445 timber sales conducted on state, county, andViprivate land in Wisconsin. A logit model was used to determine whether\ nthere was a relationship between the likelihood of a timber sale beingVnseasonally restricted and the soil category (SC. One tool that Wisconsin currently uses in forestry to protect and conserve regulated species while allowing activities that could impact the species or their habitat are Habitat Conser- vation Plans (HCP). HCPs are 10-year plans that provide a broad incident take permit for partners who agree to follow specific protocols to minimize impacts to the species and its habitat. Currently Wisconsin has an HCP for the Karner Blue Butterfly and is currently developing an HCP for the Northern Long-eared bat. The results of the particulars of the HCP in development will have implications to forest management, but to what extent is unclear at this point. Wildlife: CONDITIONS & TRENDS Changes in the structure and function of Wisconsin's forested communities can affect wildlife populations. Both young forests with particular habitat characteristics and old forests with more complex structure and species composi- tion provide important habitat benefits. '1'3 Management practices, including avoidance measures and habitat conservation plans, can benefit wildlife populations and maintain and enhance ecological diversity.1'3 Forest pests and diseases can alter wildlife habitat structure and composition.2 Forest fragmentation, especially of large blocks, reduces habitat for some interior forest species, limits connectivity, and may limit daily and seasonal movement patterns and dispersal. 2 Habitat conservation plans can be effective in reducing the impacts to the rare species, it is not yet known to what extent the Northern Long-eared bat HCP in development will have on forest management if any. ''•2 GOALS AND STRATEGIES Goals and strategies are captured in subject areas throughout the plan. Many goals highlighted in one section of this document are pertinent to other sections. A list of all goals and strategies, including other goals related to Forest Characteristics, Ecology and Management, is included in the Summary of Goals and Strategies section. GOAL A: FORESTS ARE DIVERSE IN STRUCTURE, COMPOSITION, FUNCTION AND COMPLEXITY ACROSS ALL FORESTED LANDSCAPES. Strategies 1. Evaluate and revise silvicultural practices to ensure that they are adaptive and effectively maintaining, conserving, and enhancing diverse forest ecosys- tems, including structure, composition, function and complexity. 2. Manage for age class diversity including young and old forests. 3. Manage for successful regeneration and recruitment of tree species with an emphasis on shade intolerant and mid-tolerant species. 4. Develop an adaptive management framework to sustain healthy forests that are resilient to deer popu- lations. 5. Protect and enhance soil productivity and water quality. 6. Promote sustainable forest management that balances timber production and wildlife habitats, including rare and endangered species. 7. Manage forests in tandem with natural processes and natural disturbances across the landscape. GOAL B: FORESTED LANDSCAPES PROVIDE CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN PATCHES OF FORESTS OF ALL SERAL STAGES AND TYPES FOR FOREST- DEPENDENT SPECIES AND RELATED NATURAL COMMUNITIES. Strategies 1. Provide connectivity between patches of forests of all seral stages and types for forest-dependent species and related natural communities. 2. Slow the rate of forestland conversion by fostering state and local government collaboration. 3. Develop and support state, federal, tribal, local and private programs that promote afforestation and refor- estation. 4. Enhance, protect, and connect larger tracts of forested land in appropriate locations consistent with ecological landscapes. 30 WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PLAN 5. Encourage collaborative, large-scale planning at the town, county, state, tribal, and federal levels. 6. Increase the functional size of forest blocks by encour- aging management coordination of clusters of forest ownerships and utilize landscape tools for analysis. GOAL C. KEEP FORESTS AS FORESTS TO MAINTAIN THE LONG-TERM VALUE AND BENEFITS THEY PROVIDE. Strategies 1. Reduce the rate of parcelization of large forest blocks. 2. Consider forest fragmentation, connectivity, and patch distribution in management decisions. 3. Pursue the conservation and protection of large, unfragmented blocks of forest lands. 4. Continue to identify strategic opportunities to acquire land through fee simple purchases and conservation easements. 5. Develop and promote programs designed to incen- tivize and compensate landowners for keeping forests as forest rather than converting to non-forest uses. 6. Educate landowners and the public on short- and long- term values of forests. WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PLAN 31 FIRE MANAGEMENT Wildland fire management in Wisconsin includes both wildfire suppression and the intentional application of prescribed fire. Successful fire management is predicated on the cooperation of many partners: Wisconsin DNR - Division of Forestry, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, Army National Guard, Great Lakes Forest Fire Compact, tribal governments, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and many local fire departments. To support efficient and effective fire management, relationships must be developed between all the cooperating agencies. The trust and coop- eration fostered in these relationships form the basis for the interdependent work carried out to serve the public and meet statutory responsibilities. Wildfire suppression and prescribed fire programs are similar in the supportive actions needed and the elements that make them successful. Both programs need robust public, landowner, and property owner outreach and education. Extensive training, safety protocols and partner- ships enhance both initial attack operations and the safe, successful use of prescribed fire. Prescribed burning is vital to the ecological integrity of fire-dependent ecosystems and can play a key role in mitigating the intensity of wildfires that occur in areas that have recently burned. WILDFIRE Wildfires threaten people, property and natural resources, especially in areas where human development meet or inter- mingle with undeveloped wildland areas, referred to as the wildland urban interface (WUI). Between 1990 and 2010, the proportion ofWUI in Wisconsin increased from 14.5 percent of the landscape to 15.1 percent, with over 95 percent of this growth due to increases in housing (Radeloff et al., 2018). As reported in the "Forest Characteristics, Ecology and Management" section of this document, urbanization remains the biggest threat to land use conversion from forests, and housing and road densities have continued to increase over the last ten years. This trend is projected to continue. There are 1,850 cities, towns and villages in Wisconsin. A Communities at Risk assessment of forest fire hazards conducted by the DNR in 2008 indicates that 574 of these municipalities are at risk for a large-scale wildfire occurrence that would likely threaten people and property (Map 3). Wild- fire prevention, detection, preparedness and an adequate, organized suppression force are important tools in managing wildfires in Wisconsin and minimizing loss of property, natural resources and even lives. Forest fire management in Wisconsin is organized into three protection areas: intensive, extensive and cooperative (co-op) (Map 4). The intensive level of forest fire protection covers areas with more forest cover and high hazard fuel types. The Wisconsin DNR takes the lead in intensive areas, supplying a significant commitment of fire suppression equipment and staff, and local fire departments assist. Fire suppression responsibilities in the extensive area are a part- nership between the Wisconsin DNR and local fire depart- ments. There are 56 Fire Response Units in DNR protection areas outfitted with vehicles, radio communication towers, mechanic shops, dispatch centers, fire equipment and personal protective equipment caches, radios and other tools of the trade. In cooperative forest fire protection areas, local fire departments take the lead and the Wisconsin DNR assists when needed. Fire departments are a vital partner and look to the division for wildfire training and expertise. This partnership is strengthened using resources such as the Fire Department Advisory Council, memorandums of understanding, and the Forest Fire Protection grant program. The Wisconsin DNR has agreements concerning prescribed fire, fire suppression and fire prevention, detection, and billing with the U.S. Forest Service, Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service and Bureau of Indian Affairs, and has border agreements with Minnesota, Michigan, Ontario and Mani- toba. Organizations responsible for fire suppression and prescribed burning must also maintain relationships with county dispatch, sheriff's offices, local police departments, Wisconsin State Patrol, local Emergency Medical Services, state and county Emergency Management, and the U.S. Department of Defense. Based on an analysis of the past 30 years of fire data in Wisconsin DNR protection areas, there has been a down- ward trend in the number of fires and acres burned. From 1989-2018, an average of 1,248 fires burned 3,234 acres annually; from 1999-2018, an average of 1,118 fires burned 3,098 acres annually; and from 2009-2018, an average of 912 fires burned 2,650 acres annually (Figure 11). The down- ward trend in fire occurrence and acres burned could be attributed to weather conditions less favorable for wildfires, a reduction in debris burning, increased public awareness of fire risk through public education efforts, and advances in technology (e.g., web-based burning permits, remote auto- mated weather systems, daily fire danger information, etc.). In addition, the downward trend in acres burned could be attributed to strategic fire equipment placement resulting in quick initial attack response times, coupled with an increase in aircraft patrols and citizen reporting of fire ignitions and illegal burning. 32 WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PLAN MAP 3 - COMMUNITIES AT RISK •^p Community-at-Rsk, Very High Community-at-Risk, High Community of Concern Miles 50 v da Feb 04.3020 jpk Division of Forestry Map 3: Communities at risk for wildfire in Wisconsin.

Two-thirds of all wildfires occur during the spring months (March, April and May). Spring "fire season" begins shortly after the snow cover disappears and slows significantly when vegetation greens up in late May. Dry periods and drought conditions during summer (June - August) accounts for 18 percent of fires. Thirteen percent of fires occur in fall (September - November), particularly after frost and the curing of vege- tation occurs. The remaining 2 percent of wildfires occur in the winter months (December - February) when the ground is not snow-covered (Figure 12). Fire suppression affects the composition, structure and function of forests. Fire-dependent communities such as oak savannas and pine barrens are unable to maintain their open character and eventually lose the native species, which are not adapted to low disturbance habitats. A disruption of the frequency of fires in our forests can result in a buildup of down woody debris (fallen trees, branches, leaves, and duff). During times of drought and high fire danger, this material can result in high flame lengths, high heat output, and significant control problems. Ver/ dense and crowded stands with older trees can also facilitate the movement of forest insects and diseases.

WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PLAN 35 Debris Burning Debris burning is regulated through a burning permit system. In intensive protection areas (Map 4), an annual burning permit must be obtained if burning is to take place any time the ground is not completely snow-covered. In extensive areas, a burning permit is required anytime the ground is not completely snow-covered between January 1 - May 31. Restrictions on burning activity are determined daily and based on weather conditions. Permit holders must call a hotline number or check a website to find out the restrictions of the day. There is also a system of red flag warnings and emergency burning restrictions that can be implemented when fire weather conditions are elevated. Debris burning in co-op areas of the state follows any permitting requirements set by the local authority. Forest Fire Influences The fire environment includes many factors that affect the way a fire starts and behaves. In Wisconsin, the main components of the fire environment are weather, available fuels and human factors. Weather conditions include wind, relative humidity, precipitation patterns and drought. Fuel considerations include fuel type, fuel class, fuel condition and arrangement. Human factors include development patterns, human attitudes and activities, income levels and government controls. These components affect the likeli- hood of a fire start, speed and direction the fire will travel, intensity at a which a wildfire burns, and the ability to control and extinguish a wildfire. Although weather cannot be changed, fuels and human behavior can be modified. Conse- quently, many of our opportunities to reduce wildfire threat lie in proper management and manipulation of wildland vegetation and in changing people's behavior. Extreme weather events, such as tornadoes and straight-line winds, can cause immense damage to forested lands. Trees can be snapped off, uprooted, killed or damaged, leaving a mixture of dead and live trees across the landscape. Salvage operations can mitigate the fuel load and help minimize subsequent invasion of forest pests. Left in place, the material can be a substantial fuel load that has to potential to dramatically influence fire behavior. Fires in areas of heavy storm debris can be expected to have greater intensity, faster spread rates, and long-range spotting potential. Fire suppression can be considerably more dangerous and direct attack is often not a viable option. Structure protection will have added challenges, especially on properties where salvage harvesting has not occurred. Two extreme weather events occurred in the past decade: the 2011 blowdown that affected over 130,000 acres in northwest Wisconsin's Northwoods and the summer storms of 2019 that damaged over 200,000 acres, with Langlade, Oconto, Polk and Barron counties hit especially hard. The cleanup of storm debris takes years to accomplish, with areas of debris never being removed. The resulting heightened fire risk calls for a coordinated plan of action between wildfire management agencies. Fire causes have remained consistent over the past 30 years (1989-2018) (Figure 13). People and man-made objects cause 98 percent of wildfires in Wisconsin. Debris burning is the single most common cause, followed by equipment. There are numerous other causes, all 10 percent or less of the total. The relationship between human activity and fire starts also means wildfires often occur near struc- tures. More than 70 percent of wildfire-starts occur on private property. Each year an estimated 60 structures are destroyed by wildfires and another 500 structures are threat- ened yet saved with fire suppression efforts.

The proximity of people and man-made objects to wildland vegetation can result in a series of detri- ments to the natural environment, including fragmentation, movement of invasive species and an increased risk to life and property from wildfires, among other things. In the case 36 WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PLAN of wildfire risk, homes and property can become additional "fuel" for a wildfire to burn. There is great concern to fire officials when homes are built in areas of highly flammable vegetation, especially when the structures themselves are made of flammable materials. The concern increases when homes are built in remote areas or when roads and drive- ways are narrow or sandy, which may make it impossible for emergency vehicles to get to the structures. Vegetation growing or planted close to the sides of buildings is espe- daily troublesome. There are planning documents that address wildfire hazards in whole or in part: County All Hazards Plans, Comprehen- sive Land Use Plans, and Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP). The Wisconsin WUI initiatives map shows CWPP and Firewise site locations as of February 2020 (Map 5). The Wisconsin DNR leads the facilitation of CWPPs for communities listed on the state's Communities at Risk list. There are currently 21 CWPPs in the state and more in development. A CWPP is created by a core team that includes the town government, local fire department, and DNR. Federal partners are included when federal land is in a community. Other "interested parties" may also be involved in the planning, such as representatives from emergency management, local homeowner associations, industrial forest owners, county forest managers, etc. CWPPs address things such as wildfire response, hazard mitigation, commu- nity preparedness, and structure protection. The creation of a plan helps a community organize projects for mitigating hazards, including timeframes for projects and who will be responsible for managing each project. Plans give fire-prone communities an incentive to develop and implement wild- fire preparedness and hazardous fuels reduction projects; the USFS is giving funding priorities to communities that develop CWPPs. Wildfire: CONDITIONS & TRENDS Fire occurrence data are not consistently collected and reported in co-op areas. 1'2'3 Urbanization is increasing in co-op areas of the state; more people may result in an increase in fire ignitions in these areas.2'3 Woody debris buildup can result in more intense fire behavior, greater probability of property loss, and higher suppres- sion costs. 2'3 Fire suppression may counter the needs of fire-dependent forests.1'2 Zoning codes lack wildland urban interface standards for landscape vegetation, building materials and emergency vehicle access.1'2'3 Suppressing wildland urban interface fires can require greater coordination between DNR and fire departments to limit damage to property and natural resources. 2'3 Local fire department response to wildfires requires proper training, equipment, and protective gear. 1'2'3 Inconsistent debris burning restrictions between local enforcement authorities is confusing to the public.1'2-3 Fire prevention strategies can reduce human-caused wildfires.2'3 Wildfire risk reduction measures taken around homes can reduce structure loss during wildfires.2'3 Emergency vehicle access infrastructure (e.g., roads, bridges, etc.) can affect wildfire response.2'3 Opportunities for implementing a unified command structure are rare and may only happen at a local level. This is challenging when dealing with multiple resources on a large-scale wildfire. 1'2'3 WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PUN 3 7 MAP 5 - WISCONSIN WUI INITIATIVES *Rrewlse Sites iaAcUveCWPP ain-ProgressCWP ;cs|nnac6vCWPP I —Community of Concern > •Community-at-Risk High !—Communlty.at.Risk Very High; Map 5: Wisconsin WUI Initiatives - CWPP and Firewise site locations as of February 2020 3 8 WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PLAN PRESCRIBED FIRE Prescribed fire is the intentional application of fire to a set area of vegetation under specific environmental conditions to accomplish planned land management objectives. It is an important land management tool that mimics the benefits of historically-occurring natural fires, while being conducted during lower-risk conditions. To meet specific land manage- ment objectives, prescribed fire is conducted under weather conditions conducive to creating the desired fire behavior that will meet the objectives of the burn and ensure safety to surrounding public and private resources. Approximately 35,000 acres are treated with prescribed fires annually throughout the state (numbers derived from DNR Forestry Area dispatch centers), with roughly 25,000 acres conducted on state lands and the remainder occurring within the federal, county, private, and non-government organization (NGO) community (Table 4). At this time, there is no comprehensive reporting mechanism beyond what is communicated to DNR dispatch centers. No accurate data exists for the Cooperative areas of the state where the DNR does not hold primary jurisdiction. Therefore, 35,000 acres is considered an underestimation of the extent prescribed fire is used annually. Many federal, county, state, and NGOs promote the use of prescribed fire to efficiently achieve land management goals, including fuel reduction, site preparation, disease control, wildlife management, and biological community restoration and maintenance. The benefits of prescribed fire span across both flora and fauna in fire-dependent ecosystems and include effects such as revitalized growth of native plants and wildflowers, reduction of non-native and/or inva- sive plants, and regeneration of fire-dependent species such as oak, jack pine, and red pine. Most prescribed burns occur in non-forested communi- ties such as prairies and wetlands. However, a significant remaining portion of acreage burned is in oak savannas and woodlands, pine and oak barrens, and mixed hardwood and/or coniferous forests. Major regions of prescribed fire activity include the southern and western portions of the state, with pockets of prescribed burning taking place in the northwest, northeast, and central sands. According to the 2016 Wisconsin Statewide Fire Needs Assessment (Hmielowski et al., 2016), these prescribed burn activity regions are also considered to be the areas that would give the highest ecological benefit in relation to the costs associ- ated with prescribed burning. These areas, particularly the northeast, northwest, and central sands, hold a substantial percentage of the pine and oak barrens, oak savanna, and mixed hardwood forests in Wisconsin. Number of Prescribed Burns Acreage Burned 2014 523 28,321 2015 631 30,222 2016 688 34,770 2017 742 33,650 2018 561 36,076 Table 4: Statewide Prescribed Burns and Acreage Prescribed burns are typically conducted during the spring and fall seasons but can occur outside these periods if conditions allow. In the spring, the window for prescribed burning typically occurs shortly after the snow has melted, but before significant green-up has occurred. In the late summer/fall, the prescribed burning window is typically after plant moisture levels have decreased and some good hard freezes have occurred before winter precipitation. Fire research conducted in-state has determined rough estimates of historic fire return intervals (time between fire events in a single location) for many forested areas of the state. It is widely accepted that, based on estimated historic fire return intervals, the current prescribed fire activity is insufficient to sustain all fire-dependent commu- nity acreage; but information on current fire return intervals is lacking. However, data collection has recently begun to determine current fire return intervals on state-managed land. Emerging research from Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota are also identifying summer burning as the most effective method of reducing woody plant species. As Wisconsin experiences effects from climate change such as increased annual rainfall, these windows may shift or close, making it difficult to conduct prescribed bums under the right weather prescription to achieve objectives. See more information on climate change in Wisconsin in the Climate Change Section. Approximately 82 percent of burns on state land are conducted for the purposes of reducing invasive woody species; however, local research is limited as to the specific fire behavior needed to reduce brush species in Wisconsin, and effects seen in other regions of the country do not always produce the same results in-state. Local knowledge of fire effects is not centralized or adequately shared. Prescribed fire can also reduce wildfire risk by consuming the build-up of fine and medium-sized surface fuels in forested areas. The removal of "ladder fuels" (lower branches, vines) during prescribed burning also helps miti- gate the ability for any fire to travel into the canopy, lowering the potential for crown fire. Removal of these fuels trans- lates to wildfires with more manageable fire behavior when these events inevitably do occur. WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PUN 39 Prescribed fire is needed to maintain many of Wisconsin's native barrens plants and promote the natural regeneration of the state's fire-dependent tree species. Non-management of Wisconsin's forested lands, and especially an absence of prescribed fire, is a major concern for the future composition of these forests. Promoting regeneration in oak and pine forests using prescribed fire is crucial for ensuring the long- term vitality of these communities and the overwhelming number of wildlife species that depend on them. Despite how necessary this disturbance regime is for natural communities in Wisconsin, much of the public is unaware of how much prescribed burning is occurring around the state and how much it positively impacts the public land they use. Public education regarding fire and oak manage- ment is currently being conducted; however, similar efforts to promote red, jack, and white pine in the state have not occurred. Fire is rarely considered for natural pine regener- ation in much of the state, on both public and private land. Prescribed Fire: CONDITIONS & TRENDS • Absence of fire disturbance in Wisconsin's forests and woodlands has contributed to a decline in the regeneration of important fire-dependent species.2 • Factors, such as of lack of awareness, training availability, adequate suppression equipment, and liability concerns limit the use of prescribed fire by private landowners.2'3 • The cost of contracting prescribed burns and lack of private contractors in many parts of the state can make prescribed burning difficult for landowners who are unable to conduct burns themselves. 2-3 • There is a robust number of conservation organizations that support increasing the use of prescribed fire in Wiscon- sin's forested lands.1-3 • Prioritizing where and when to conduct prescribed fires is inadequate and many landowners and organizations experi- ence issues with capacity (i.e. personnel and equipment), which prevents more acres from being treated. 2'3 • Prescribed burning in forests that are managed for timber harvests may be limited by the perception that burns can damage the quality of saw timber.1'2'3 40 WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PLAN PRIORSTY LANDSCAPES AND ISSUES The term "fire management" encapsulates a diverse spec- trum of activities and ideologies that may seem at odds at times. However, as the nationwide trend continues to move away from the full suppression era of the 1900s, natural resource organizations across the country are finding a variety of ways in which wildfire suppression and prescribed fire practices can exist and benefit each other. For instance, prescribed fire is not only recognized the most cost-effective means of ecological management in fire-dependent ecosys- tems, but it is also recognized as an effective tool for hazard fuels reduction within surface and mid-story vegetation. Although there is a great overlap in the goals for prescribed fire and wildfire risk reduction, unique priorities and issues exist for each within the state. WILDFIRE RISK PRIORITY LANDSCAPE In order to suppress wildfires across the state and to protect human life and property and natural resources various methods are utilized, such as partnerships with fire depart- ments and other agencies. Fire risk within geographic areas help determine how and where state and federal resources are utilized (Map 6). Statewide, areas for wildfire risk reduc- tion projects are prioritized using the Communities-at-Risk analysis (Map 3). The 2010 Fire Risk Analysis (Map 6) devel- oped levels of fire risk for the state based on elements that could be used to determine the level of fire suppression resources needed. This in turn helps to guide resource deci- sions regarding facilities, equipment, personnel, prevention and preparedness education, communications, and other suppression and detection needs. The Fire Risk Analysis was conducted by overlaying data considered instrumental in predicting fire hazard (vegetation, ecological landscapes, soil, forest patch size, and parcel improvements). Wisconsin DNR cooperates with local fire departments, tribes and other agencies as part of our statewide fire suppression mandate; the Fire Risk Analysis is one tool that can be used to award vital funding for local fire departments. There are several datasets that are not included in this anal- ysis that would be beneficial when determining priorities. These include fire department locations, fire occurrence history, canopy characteristics, fire characteristics, weather data and areas affected by extreme weather events. State- wide data sources for fire department locations are difficult to obtain due to legal issues. Fire occurrence data only exists for part of the state. Canopy characteristics, fire char- acteristics, and weather data is variable. Maps and planning documents that are created in response to storm events should be referred to when determining the distribution and utilization of resources to mitigate storm fuels and ensure adequate response should a wildfire occur in the area. COMMUNITIES-AT-RISK PRIORITY LANDSCAPE Under the direction of the National Association of State Foresters, the Wisconsin DNR, in cooperation with its federal and tribal partners, began working on the statewide assessment of Communities at Risk in 2004 (Map 3). With communities at risk identified, local, state, and federal agen- cies, in cooperation with fire departments can begin devel- oping Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP). Once projects are identified in such plans for public education, hazardous fuels mitigation, and wildfire preparedness, these communities are given priority for federal funds to conduct wildfire risk reduction projects. Communities-at-Risk are identified by community/population weighted criteria (vege- tation, historic fire regime, wildland-urban interface, popula- tion density, historic fire occurrence, and proximity to road or railroad). Municipalities identified as a Community-at-Risk, or Community-of-Concern are prioritized to receive federal grant funds based on their geographic location as well as criteria that measure a project's individual merits. As with Map 6, locations for fire departments across the state is difficult to obtain and is not included in Map 3. Fire departments response time is another valuable piece of data that would be used for Communities-at-Risk if it were available. PRIORITY ISSUES FOR PRESCRIBED BURNING Although much of our fire-dependent forested communities have experienced a decrease in acreage or integrity, there are many opportunities for restoration or maintenance of these systems. Multiple acreage assessments of existing forested fire-dependent communities all indicate that the current levels of prescribed fire are inadequate and are only a small fraction of what is necessary to manage these communities. Where prescribed fire is utilized, available resources are unable to maintain adequate fire return inter- vals for maintenance, much less a more aggressive schedule for restoration. Any substantial increase in acreage treated with fire is dependent upon how fire-dependent community management is prioritized in the organization, and resources it is willing to commit to that goal. Lack of capacity is considered a significant issue in prescribed burn programs throughout the country and continues to be a major issue for every prescribed fire organization in Wisconsin. Although other chemical and mechanical management practices may help to supplement prescribed burning, no other manage- ment tool provides the same robust ecological benefits to these natural communities. Ultimately, fire is crucial for their continued existence, and every effort should be made to increase the safe and effective use of prescribed fire in these systems.

This issue is a barrier to understanding the full extent of where prescribed bum stakeholders exist in the state. To gain a more accurate picture of prescribed burners, and where opportunities exist for training, awareness/education, and private landowner collaboration, the full extent of prescribed burning needs to be determined. Data from all prescribed burning activities should be collected for both the Protection and Cooperative Areas of the state to establish a baseline and accurately capture prescribed burning trends over time. Table 5 illustrates the fire-dependent natural communities across the state that are considered highest priority, when and where prescribed fire can be used as a management/ restoration tool. Scores for global and state rarity were given based on the ranking for each natural community. Higher scores indicate the rarest communities on a state and global scale (maximum 8 points = St and G1 ranking). Risk of Conversion is a subjective ranking of which natural commu- nity would most likely be lost on the landscape first, if fire were completely removed from the system. A collective of natural resource managers throughout the state provide a ranking based upon soil types, abundance, and other ecolog- ical factors, and the Risk of Conversion values are a combi- nation of their feedback. Effort (characterized by mean fire return interval) illustrates the average period of years that passed in between fire events in these communities prior to European settlement and indicate the level at which periodic fire (prescribed burns) would normally be needed to maintain these natural communities today. Note that fire return inter- vals used for restoration are typically smaller, and therefore more effort (fire) may be needed for restoration versus maintenance of a high-integrity site. Values for each of the 3 factors were converted to a 1-100 scale in order to provide a final score and guide to which natural communities should be given greater prioritization for management/restoration. This table can be used in conjunction with the statewide forested priority landscapes and to determine with the greatest opportunities for management of Wisconsin's forested fire-dependent communities across the state. Another tool to assist in prioritizing prescribed fire throughout the state is the Wisconsin Fire Needs Assess- ment (Hmielowski et al., 2016), which considers both forested and non-forested fire-dependent communities. An important consideration when determining priorities for prescribed burning is the multiple uses (timber extraction, recreation) landowners may need to balance in addition to ecological restoration and maintenance. Established research and abundant examples of working forests confirm these uses can exist harmoniously with prescribed fire and benefit significantly from it; however, proper timing of prescribed fire is crucial. These situations should be evalu- ated on a case-by-case basis.

The orange pixels indicate the current presence and distribution of these communities, and where the potential "work" exists across the state. Loss of these natural communities is due mostly to land conversion (agriculture, residential), but lack of fire has also significantly contributed to the decline of these disturbance-dependent communities. The current distribution of Wisconsin's fire-dependent forested natural communities is displayed on Map 8, along with the mean fire return interval (MFRI) of those communi- ties. The MFRI is the average number of years that occurred between fire events within each community in pre-settle- ment times (based on fire history research) and illustrates the degree that fire was present and played a role in shaping Wisconsin's landscapes. This map also indicates the esti- mated prescribed burn effort necessary to restore or main- tain the integrity of the communities in that area, should management opportunities exist. Depending on the quality of the site, prescribed fire may need to be supplemented with other mechanical/chemical activities over a period of time in order to reach restoration goals. 69AIS AND STRATEGSES Goals and strategies are captured in subject areas throughout the plan.

There are many experts within public, private and non-profit sectors that work together across the state to detect new and emerging pests and diseases, prevent and control infestations of invasive species and find flexible management solutions that maintain or restore forested ecosystem function. ASSESSMENT PESTS & DISEASES Pests and diseases play a variety of roles in forest ecosys- tems. Pest and disease outbreaks can increase tree mortality to a level that negatively affects forest stocking levels, clean water, wildlife habitat, and raw material for wood products, causing economic losses, or leading to undesirable management outcomes. Monitoring the inci- dence, severity, impact and location of forest insect and disease populations helps to focus mitigation strategies and increases the understanding of the influence that these organisms exact on forest ecosystems. Here, pests include native and non-native insects and worms. The activity of native insects and diseases kill suppressed, unhealthy trees, contributing to forest succes- sion and nutrient cycling. Larger outbreaks of native insects (e.g., native defoliators, bark beetles and wood borers) intermittently impact thousands of acres for several years before the population collapses. More than 450 non-native forest insects are established in the United States and cost billions of dollars in economic losses annually (Aukema et al., 2011); non-native tree diseases may cost additional billions. In Wisconsin, well-established non-natives, such as oak wilt and emerald ash barer, have major ecological and economic impacts on forests. Below are descriptions of some of the insects and diseases of greatest concern in Wisconsin currently. For more information about the numerous insects, diseases, plants and worms impacting Wisconsin forests visit dnr.wi.gov and search forest health. WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PLAN 47 Emerald Ash Barer (Agrilus planipennisl Map 9: Emerald Ash Borer detections by county. Counties in red indicate presence of pest. Emerald Ash Barer (EAB) has been found in 51 of Wisconsin's 72 counties. EAB has yet to invade much of northern Wisconsin, where most of the ash resource is located. Nonetheless, ash mortality has increased 89 percent and removals during timber sales has gone up 72 percent since 2009 (U.S. Forest Service, 2017) due to EAB-caused mortality in southern Wisconsin. Urban forests are also being significantly impacted (see Urban and Community Forestry section). Integrated pest management strategies, including insecticides and biological control, continue to be used to slow the spread and allow more time for urban and rural forest management to occur. Ash silviculture guidelines were updated in 2018 (available at dnr.wi.gov; search: emerald ash borei). The new guidance stresses that ash management now needs to occur as soon as practical statewide to increase management options, maximize economic value, and reduce future EAB impacts. However, removal of green and black ash may be difficult due to site access issues, as these stands are frequently in wet areas that require dry or frozen ground to be harvested. Maintaining and finding new markets for ash wood is also a priority. However, harvesting all ash is not necessary or practical. Retained ash trees provide opportunity to monitor remaining ash for resistant or tolerant genotypes. Ecological Landscapes of concern: Current: Southeast Glacial Plains (green ash) and Western Coulees and Ridges (green and white ashj Future: North Central Forest and Northwest Lowlands (black ash) Gypsy Moth {Lymantria dispar) Map 10: Gypsy Moth quarantine by county. Coun- ties in red are quarantined for gypsy moth. Gypsy moth is established in the eastern two-thirds of Wisconsin, where 50 counties are quarantined. Gypsy math's greatest impact has been in aging northern pin oak stands, which have seen decreased growth and increased mortality since 2009 (U.S. Forest Service, 2017), The Wisconsin DNR suppression program was deactivated in 2018 after eight years of low demand. The combined Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture and DATCP Slow the Spread (STS) program continues to target isolated populations in western non-quarantined counties. Several biological control agents are well established in Wisconsin and play an important role in suppressing outbreaks. Learn more at https://gypsymoth.wi.gov/. Ecological Landscapes of concern: Dry hardwood forests of the Northeast Sands and Northwest Sands Heterobasidion Root Disease {Heterobasidion irregulars) Map 11: HRD detections by county. Counties in red indicate presence of pest. Heterobasidion Root Disease (HRD) has been found in 28 Wisconsin counties. Many of Wisconsin's conifer species are killed by HRD, including red, white and jack pines, white and Norway spruces, balsam fir and red cedar. Prevention is critical because there is no curative treatment to eliminate HRD from a stand once it is infested. Future impacts to infested stands may be significant if the site becomes unsuitable for conifers. HRD guidelines for management and preventative fungicide use are available at dnr.wi.gov; search: HRD. HRD's greatest impact to date has been in red and white pine plantations whose volumes have increased considerably as many stands age into larger size classes (U.S. Forest Service, 2017). Increased entries into these aging stands for thinnings and other management will increase the risk for further spread of HRD. Preventative fungicide use on private lands will be critically important considering that nearly two-thirds of all pine volume is on privately owned land (U.S. Forest Sen/ice, 2017). Ecological Landscapes of concern: Conifer plantations of the Central Sand Plains Oak Wilt IBretziella fagacearum) Map 12: Oak Wilt detections by county. Counties in red indicate presence of pest. Oak wilt has been found in 64 Wisconsin counties. Oak wilt is still uncommon in northern Wisconsin where a large amount of oak resource is at risk as spread continues. Impacts may be greatest in northern pin oak stands, where growth has decreased, and mortality increased since 2009 (U.S. Forest Service, 2017), but northern red oak and black oak stands remain highly susceptible. Prevention of oak wilt is crucial. Updated oak harvesting guidelines and other information is available at dnr. wi.gov; search: oak wilt. Research into effective and affordable management methods is a continuing need, as suggested in a recently-published work (Meunier, Bronson, Scanlon, & Gray, 2019). Ecological Landscapes of concern: Areas with significant Northern red, black and Northern pin oak volume, including the Northwest Sands, Western Coulees and ridges, and Central Sand Plains. 48 WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PLAN Beech Bark Disease (Cryptococcus fagisuga and Neonectria spp.) Map 13: Beech Bark Disease detections by county. Counties with Beech Scale are in red; counties with Beech Bark Disease are in blue. Beech scale insects 1C. fagisuga) have been detected in 1 1 Wisconsin counties but the Neonectria spp. fungi that contribute to tree mortality have only been detected in Door County. Eastern Wisconsin is the western edge of the range of American beech, but the loss of beech where it is common would dramatically change forest structure and negatively impact many wildlife species. Beech mortality and harvesting have decreased for several decades (U.S. Forest Service, 2017), but that is likely to change as beech barK disease spreads in Wisconsin. One to five percent of beech trees have been found to be resistant to C. fagisuga, so developing resistant stock for planting is critical to maintaining the beech component of Wisconsin's forests.

Ecological Landscapes of concern: Northern Lake Michigan Coastal and Central Lake Michigan Coastal Earthworms (Amynthas and other spp.) Map 14: Amynthas Earthworm detections by county. Counties in red indicate presence of pest. Non-native earthworms from Europe and Asia are a threat to forest regeneration because they disturb the soil and promote conditions favoring invasive plant establishment. Numerous European species are established throughout Wisconsin but several newly detected Asian jumping worm species in the genus Amynthas have been detected in a growing number of counties in recent years. Jumping worms are replacing European species where they overlap and are even more destructive to forest soils. The Wisconsin DNR and others are currently funding research to determine the best methods to manage invasive earthworms. Learn more at dnr.wi.gov; search: jumping worm. Ecological Landscapes of concern: Deciduous forests, especially those dominated by maple such as North Central Forest INVASIVE PLANTS Invasive plants are a threat to forest sustainability because they reduce or eliminate native plant cover by forming dense colonies that limit light, nutrient, and water availability and by allelopathic effects. Invasive plants that cause these prob- lems are generally exotic invasive plants, however native plants such as prickly ash and others act like invasives and may need to be managed as well. They further harm forests by limiting forest regeneration, reducing plant diversity, and increasing management costs while reducing management and silvicultural options. Wisconsin completed a forestry best management practices for invasive species guide in 2009 (dnr.wi.gov; search: invasive species) and continues to train forest industry partners. FIA data since 2009 indicate that although the overall number of invasive plant species has only increased slightly, range expansion for multiple species including buckthorns, non-native bush honeysuckles, and others has increased dramatically (U.S. Forest Service, 2017). Of the FIA plots that have an invasive plant, 53 percent have more than one species, with some having as many as seven species. However, the actual number of invasive plants regulated in Wisconsin under NR40 is much greater (available at dnr. wi.gov; search: invasive plants) than what is monitored by FIA. With limited financial resources, agencies, landowners and others may often need to make the difficult decision to focus efforts on eliminating new and emerging invasive plants, rather than controlling widespread, common species. Often, landowners choose to control widespread, common invasive species only when regenerating stands because of cost and time constraints. Nonetheless, even common and widespread invasives like buckthorns and honeysuckles should be eliminated when they invade new areas if feasible. Cooperative weed management areas (CWMAs) have become critically important to completing invasive plant management, helping landowners and others with financial and technical resources. Mobile applications are a new development that allow users to submit geolocated data and photos that enable managers to find and control infestations more rapidly. Ecological Landscapes of Concern: Impacts Continue to Increase in all Ecological Landscapes. MONITORING Wisconsin receives federal funding and technical support from USDA to help with forest health surveys, management and research. Aerial and ground-based surveys and site visits are regularly conducted by forest health staff with DNR, Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), USDA, tribes and many other partners WISCONSIN 2020 STATEWIDE FOREST ACTION PIAN 49 to track native pests and non-native pests not currently found or recently established in Wisconsin on federal, tribal, state, county, and private lands. Increasingly, private citizens play a major role in pest detection with mobile technology allowing for rapid submission of photos and geospatial data and an increased interest in citizen science projects. Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Ontario and Manitoba state/provincial forest health staff recently joined the Great Lakes Forest Fire Compact (https://sites.google.com/view/ glffc/) to provide an efficient mechanism to share resources when regional forest health events occur. Rules and regulations are an important tool for preventing introduction and establishment of new pests. The goal of these rules and regulations is to keep forests healthy and productive and minimize economic impacts. • DATCP Pest Abatement Authority of non-regulated species and regulated insect, disease and plant species: https://nationalplantboard.org/wp-content/uploads/docs/ summaries/wisconsin.pdf • DNR Invasive Species Rule and best management prac- tices - dnr.wi.gov; search: NR 40 • DNR firewood rule - dnr.wi.gov; search: firewood Forest Health: CONDITIONS & TRENDS Forest disturbances, in the form of insects, diseases, invasive plants, and worms, can make regeneration or reforesta- tion practices more difficult and more likely to fail.2 Large outbreaks of insects or diseases can alter stand structure and function which may change the trajectory of forest succession. 2 The impact of Emerald Ash Barer may be disproportionately large on monotypic swamp hardwood stands of black ash in northern Wisconsin.2 Many invasive species are difficult to control and eradicate once established. 2 GOALS AND STRATEGIES Goals and strategies are captured in subject areas throughout the plan. Many goals highlighted in one section of this document are pertinent to other sections. A list of all goals and strategies, including other goals related to Forest Health, is included in the Summary of Goals and Strategies section. GOAL H: FORESTED LAND AND ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONS ARE MAXIMIZED, WHILE LOSSES DUE TO FOREST HEALTH THREATS ARE MINIMIZED. Strategies 1. Maintain healthy, viable populations of native flora and fauna. 2. Rehabilitate and adapt forests impacted by insects, diseases, invasive plants, worms, and catastrophic weather events. 3. Monitor stressors that impact forest function. 4. Reduce impacts to regeneration from invasive species, deer, catastrophic weather events, and climate change. 5. Incentivize tree planting, invasive species manage- ment, and other activities that improve forest health.
