Project Description

Please describe your proposed project:
Project as proposed will replace a previous permit of shoreline vegetation. 

Objective is to create a recreational access to the lake via means of moving some boulders around. The current natural shoreline has had some erosion and damage by ice pushing the boulders. Strategic placement and size of boulders would eliminate future damage by allowing the ice to move up and over the rocks in lieu of pushing them back into the ground / shoreline.  Area to be affect is approx. 10' deep x 40' wide.
Will you be removing vegetation during this project? Yes
