Notice of Hearing
Natural Resources
Notice is hereby given that pursuant to ss.
29.03 and
29.972, Stats., interpreting ss.
29.03 and
29.972, Stats., the Department of Natural Resources will hold a public hearing on the creation of NR 8, subch. II, Wis. Adm. Code, relating to implementation of the Wildlife Violators Compact.
2005 Wisconsin Act 282 authorized the Department to enter into a Wildlife Violator Compact with other states. Under the compact, convictions of wildlife law and revocation of license privileges and approvals that authorize the pursuing, taking or possession of wildlife that occur in any member state are treated as if they occurred in all member states. Before the Department can formally become a member state, rules need to be promulgated which establish procedures to:
1. Assure all violators receive notification when their license privileges and approvals have been revoked by this state or any other member state.
2. Assure the exchange of information between the department, the district attorney and the clerk of courts.
3. Provide an administrative appeal process by which the department can establish if sufficient grounds exist to deny a person's application for an approval or the revocation of their existing approvals.
The proposed rules require the department to revoke all issued hunting, fishing or trapping license privileges and approvals or deny new applications for approvals, for any person who fails to respond to a summons or warrant, fails to appear on their court date without having made a deposit, or fails to appear before the court and is subject to a bench warrant. These rules are also required to ensure that due process is accorded to individuals subject to revocation in this state or who are revoked in another member state. These rules are also necessary to assure records and information on revocations is shared with the clerks of court in the counties where the violation occurs.
Once the new rules and procedures are in place, the department will apply to become a member state.

NR 19 and
20, Wis. Adm. Code, pertaining to control of fish diseases and invasive species. This emergency order was published on May 27, 2007 and revised Natural Resources Board Emergency Order FH-22-07(E) which took effect on April 7, 2007 and Natural Resources Board Emergency Order No. FH-25-07(E). This rule will aid the Department in controlling the spread of viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHS) in the following ways: Natural Resources Board Emergency Order FH-28-07(E) extends the restrictions on the movement and use of fish, fish parts and water taken from the Great Lakes and Mississippi River drainages to the Lake Winnebago system and the Fox River from Lake Winnebago to Green Bay and allows extensions to other waters in the event that the VHS virus is discovered in those waters.
Hearing Information
Notice is hereby further given that the hearing will be held on:
July 11, 2007 Room 413
Wednesday GEF #2, 101 South Webster Street
at 10:00 a.m. Madison
Notice is hereby further given that pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act, reasonable accommodations, including the provision of informational material in an alternative format, will be provided for qualified individuals with disabilities upon request. Please call Bill Horns at (608) 266-8782 with specific information on your request at least 10 days before the date of the scheduled hearing.
Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact that this rule package will have on state and local government-namely the increased costs associated with addressing or containing the VHS problem-is difficult to estimate given the short amount of time that has elapsed since the discovery of the virus. Consequently, the Department is characterizing the state and local fiscal impact as “indeterminate" until more detailed cost information becomes available.
Written Comments
The emergency rule and fiscal estimate may be reviewed and comments electronically submitted at the following Internet site:

(Environmental Protection - General,
Chs.
NR 100—)
Notice is hereby given that pursuant to ss.
59.692,
227.11(2)(a) and
281.31, Stats., interpreting ss.
59.69,
59.692,
59.694 and
281.31, Stats., the Department of Natural Resources will hold public hearings on revisions to ch.
NR 115, Wis. Adm. Code, relating to minimum standards for county shoreland zoning ordinances. Major provisions of the proposed rule include changes to vegetation management in the primary shoreland buffer and changes to regulation of nonconforming structures. New requirements include minimum lot size and density requirements for multi-unit residential development, mobile home parks and campgrounds; two formulas to calculate reduced shoreland setbacks; an impervious surface standard; and mitigation standards. The proposals include:
Land Division Review – NR 115.09
1. The requirement for land division review is changed from the creation of “3 or more lots" to the creation of “one or more lots" to ensure that all new lots created meet minimum lot size requirements.
2. If new lots are created that are divided by a stream or river, one side of the lot shall have a compliant building location.
Lot Size and Development Density – NR 115.11
1. Minimum lot size and density standards have changed eliminating a distinction between sewered and unsewered areas. The new minimum lot size for all lots created after the effective date of the rule is 20,000 square feet and 100 feet of width at the building setback and ordinary high water mark. Counties may allow development on a substandard lot.
2. Counties are required to develop minimum area or lot size requirements for multi-family residential structures, mobile home parks and campgrounds.
3. Counties may request the approval of standards for alternative forms of development with reduced lot sizes for planned unit developments, cluster developments, conservation subdivisions and other similar alternative forms of development if they include larger shoreland buffers, larger lot sizes or larger setbacks on those lots adjacent to the water.
Shoreland Setback – NR 115.13
1. Language is added to address structures exempted by other state or federal laws from the shoreland setback standards.
2. Provisions are added to allow counties to exempt structures from the shoreland setback if they meet certain requirements outlined in s.
NR 115.13(4).
3. The construction of new dry boathouses is still exempted; however, a size limit of 250 square feet has been added to the rule.
4. Standards are established to qualify a lot for a reduced setback if there is not a compliant building location.
Height Requirements – NR 115.15
1. A new section on structure height was added to protect and preserve the natural scenic beauty of lake and riverine environments.
Shoreland Vegetation and Buffers – NR 115.17
1. Language governing management of shoreland vegetation in the primary shoreland buffer is improved, resulting in a more functional buffer protecting habitat and water quality.
2. Tree and shrubbery pruning is allowed. Removal of trees and shrubs may be allowed if they are exotic or invasive species, diseased or damaged, or if an imminent safety hazard, but removed trees and shrubbery must be replaced.
3. Provisions are added to allow counties to exempt 7 types of activities from the shoreland vegetation provisions.
4. A formula for the width of access corridors is provided, replacing the “30 feet in any 100 feet" provision, which was confusing if a lot had less than 100 feet of frontage. A second formula for lots with greater than 200 feet of frontage was also added to address larger developments adjacent to the water.
