TOWN OF DELAVAN: RES - Lake Delavan South Inlet Channel Stabilization

The Town of Delavan is sponsoring a project to install a shoreland restoration on a portion of the South Inlet as part of a larger channel stabilization project. The shoreline is privately owned.

Project final deliverables include: 1) A final report showing before, during and after photographs of at least 6 fixed locations along the restoration corridor and a discussion of the implementation steps; 2) a scaled drawing imposed on an air photo showing the final dimensions and location of the shoreland restoration.

Specific project activities include: Installation of 1720 LF of shoreline restoration (following NRCS standard Code 580) with vegetation on the landward side using erosion control blankets and DOT native seed mix. The width of the native vegetation planting will be variable and will range from 12 to 25 feet.

Special Conditions: 1) Town shall record a land use agreement with the landowner to ensure land restored remain in conservation use for 20 years (NR 193.52 (3)) 2) Seed mix must be Wisconsin DOT No. 70 or No. 70A Native Seed Mix or an equivalent mix approved by the DNR biologist. 3) Geostructural stabilization (i.e. rock) is not an eligible expense for this grant.

This scope summarizes the project detail provided in the application and does not negate tasks/deliverables described therein. Data, records, and reports, including GIS-based maps, and digital images, must be submitted to the Department in a format specified by the regional Lake Biologist.
