23other than an effect on water quality, the department shall give notice of receipt of

1s. 30.246 (1). In addition to the notice requirements under s. 30.246 (2), the
2department shall give notice to all of the following:
Note: This provision continues the applicability of notice and hearing provisions
only to permit applications under sub. (2) (b) and (c). Under the current statute, the notice
and hearing is not required for dredging artificial water bodies for the purpose of
connection to a navigable waterway or where part of the artificial water body is within
500 feet of the ordinary high-water mark of the navigable waterway. In addition, an
exemption from the notice and hearing is provided for grading or removing topsoil from
the bank of navigable waters where the only effect is on water quality. This exemption
allows DNR to develop a "short form" permit for grading or removing topsoil from the
bank where advance notice is given to the department and the work conforms to rules of
the department that describe methods for such work.

15owners will be adversely affected, it may
grant
issue the permit only with
their the 16consent
. Such permit may be granted on the department's own motion after its own
17investigation or after public hearing and after giving prior notice of such
18investigation or hearing of all of these riparian owners.
AB514, s. 189
19Section
189. 30.195 (4) and (7) of the statutes are repealed.
Note: It is not clear whether current s. 30.195 is subject to the requirement of a
notice and hearing. Current s. 30.02 provides that the notice and hearing provisions of
that statute apply in any proceeding under ch. 30 where public notice is required. Under
s. 30.195 (3), the DNR may issue a permit either on its own motion or after a public
hearing. This does not appear to be a clear statement that a public hearing is required,
and it is therefore uncertain whether the notice and hearing requirement of current s.
30.02 applies. This bill makes the permit under s. 30.195 subject to the new mandatory
notice requirements under s. 30.244 and the new hearing requirements under s. 30.245
for relocation of more than 500 feet of stream length, which corresponds with the division
between type II and type III actions regarding stream locations for environmental review
under ch. NR 150, Wis. Adm. Code.
This bill eliminates the current provision in s. 30.195 (4) that states that no
common law liability and no liability under any other statute for damages resulting from
the change in the course of the stream or straightening a stream is affected by s. 30.195.
Nothing in current s. 30.195, or s. 30.195 as amended by this bill, suggests that an
exemption from liability is created. Compliance with the provisions in a permit under s.
30.195 may have a bearing on the issue of negligence, but current s. 30.195 (4) is
unnecessary. Also, the provision in the current statute that creates a presumption of
exercising due care in complying with a permit is better addressed by the court as part
of a negligence action.
The exception for land owned by Milwaukee County or a city, village or town in
Milwaukee County is deleted. This provision was originally created as part of s. 30.195
when it was adopted in 1961, and was added as a floor amendment. This exception is not
included in this bill so that s. 30.195 will apply uniformly to all navigable waters.
