NR 151,Wis.Adm. Code.The technical standards are found at: http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/stormwater/standards/const s tan dards.html. 12. All equipment used for the project including but not limited to tracked vehicles,barges,boats,hoses,sheet pile and pumps shall be de-contaminated for invasive and exotic viruses and species prior to use and after use. The following steps must be taken every time you move your equipment to avoid transporting invasive and exotic viruses and species.To the extent practicable,equipment and gear used on infested waters shall not be used on other non-infested waters. 1. Inspect and remove aquatic plants,animals,and mud from your equipment. 2. Drain all water from your equipment that comes in contact with infested waters,including but not limited to tracked vehicles,barges,boats,hoses,sheet pile and pumps. 3. Dispose of aquatic plants,animals in the trash. Never release or transfer aquatic plants,animals or water from one waterbody to another. 4. Wash your equipment with hot(>140°F) and/or high pressure water, - OR- Allow your equipment to dry thoroughly for 5 days. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. John and Rose Mary Harbison have filed an application for a permit to change the stream course and restore/enhance wetlands associated with an unnamed tributary of Token Creek,in the Town of Burke,Dane County,also described as NW1/4-NE1/4 S4,T8N,R10E. 2. The Wisconsin Conservation Department obtained the land in the mid 1930's and diverted the unnamed tributary to Token Creek(Harbison Creek)into a pond they built to hold carp. DNR Fisheries'primary goal is to remove and fill the carp pond,which elevates stream temperature about 10 degrees F in the summer;blocks spawning migration into the spring fed tributary,and degrades the overall quality of Token Creek and its adjoining wetland. As a cooperative measure,the Harbisons propose to relocate the stream channel bypass the pond.The new channel will include natural meanders,habitat features and will restore a more natural flow and sediment transport regime. 3. The Department has completed an investigation of the project site and has evaluated the project as described in the application and plans. 4. The unnamed tributary to Token Creek is a navigable water(and no bulkhead exists at the project site.) 5. The proposed project,if constructed in accordance with this permit will not adversely affect water quality,will not increase water pollution in surface waters and will not cause environmental pollution as defined in s.283.01(6m), Wis.Stats. 6. The proposed project will not negatively impact wetlands if constructed in accordance with this permit. 7. The Department of Natural Resources has determined that the agency's review of the proposed project constitutes an equivalent analysis action under s.NR 150.20(2),Wis.Adm. Code.The Department has considered the impacts on the human environment,alternatives to the proposed projects and has provided opportunities for public
