Rick Luck, 24 Kilner Bay Drive, Superior, WI 54880 has applied to the Department of Natural Resources for a permit to install riprap on the banks of St. Louis River.
The project is located in the SW1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 29, Township 49 North, Range 14 West, City of Superior, Douglas County.
The unusually highwater level combined with the summer's high wind events caused severe streambank erosion. Existing Riprap previously permitted disappeared into the water.
The150 feet of riprap is proposed to be installed during the winter months and frozen conditions.
The Department will review the proposal provided by the applicant and any information from public comments and a public informational hearing, if requested. The Department will determine whether the proposal complies with ss. 1.11 and 30.12(3m), Stats., and ch. NR 150, Wis. Adm. Code, and ensure that the required mitigation meets the standards in s. 281.36(3r), Stats. if the project impacts wetlands.
The Department has made a tentative determination that it will issue the permit or contract for the proposed activity.
