Section NR 346.02 - Applicability

All removal of bed material from the beds of natural lakes and the natural bed portions of raised lakes regulated by s. 30.20(2) (a), Stats., must involve a contract between the person removing the material and the state of Wisconsin. The contract is required because the beds of natural lakes are owned by the people of the state of Wisconsin. The department of natural resources administers the trust interest in the beds of natural lakes on behalf of Wisconsin citizens. Definitions and procedures set forth in this rule will identify the contract consideration required for the sale of different types of bed material.
