Current through November 25, 2024
(1) FINDING. The natural resources board finds that near shore areas are the most heavily used areas of a water body and are the most valuable ecological areas. Extensive and large structures on an individual and cumulative basis interfere with the public's ability to use and enjoy near shore areas and affect the growth of aquatic vegetation necessary for fish and wildlife habitat. Accordingly, the natural resources board finds that the use of swim rafts in excess of 200 square feet in surface area or 38 inches in height may interfere with public rights as used in s. 30.13(1m), Stats., and thereby require a permit under s. 30.12, Stats.
(2) EXEMPTIONS.
(3) MEASUREMENTS. Calculations to determine the square footage of a swim raft shall include diving boards, ramps, slides and similar accessories.
