Burnett County LWCD will continue its county-wide Shoreline Incentives Program expansion including runoff and infiltration best management practices (BMPs), in-lake habitat improvement, and community based social marketing. Technical assistance; restoration cost-share assistance; promotion and education; recognition activities; and enrollment payments are included in the program. The County will provide an annual tax credit to enrolled participants. All enrolled shoreline restoration parcels require a Department approved restrictive covenant that permanently establishes the vegetative buffer on the parcel. Restorations will follow standards set forth in NR 191.24(3) unless mutually agreed to in writing with the regional lake coordinator before implementation occurs. The program includes storm water BMPs such as rain gardens and infiltration trenches. Maintenance, operation, and protection will be specified in a ten-year contract for each BMP site.
