NR 10.275(4)(c)2.b. b. User incompatibility and how this incompatibility may lead to the primary purpose of the project being significantly altered or curtailed.

NR 10.275(4)(c)2.c. c. The complexity, feasibility, practicality and cost effectiveness of separating activities by time and space or any other manner that might mitigate user incompatibility and/or reduce the need for enforcement.

NR 10.275(4)(c)2.d. d. The size, shape and location of the property as well as surrounding land uses, including the use of public lands immediately adjacent to the property which may or may not have been funded with stewardship funds. The use of adjacent lands shall not be used as the sole factor in making a determination.

NR 10.275(4)(c)2.e. e. The mix of activities at the location of the property that, to the extent practicable, will provide a quality experience for all compatible users and uses.

NR 10.275(4)(d) (d) After master planning. Upon approval of the master planning process under ch. NR 44, the natural resources board may:

NR 10.275(4)(d)1. 1.

NR 10.01 after considering the factors in par. (c) and the impact of hunting on other users of the property.

NR 10.275(4)(d)2.a. a. Hunting may be limited to the period beginning on November 1 and continuing through March 31 for all species that have an open season.
