This is a public hearing on the Nuisance Abatement Action for the removal of a fence in the bed of Mayflower Lake in the Town of Laona in Forest County.
On October 2, 2020, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) issued a Notice of Noncompliance to Herbert and Helma Rudolf regarding a roughly 500-foot fence constructed across Mayflower Lake and on the bed of the same and various wetland locations located in the NW ¼ of the NW ¼ of Section 20 and other portions of Section 20 & 17, Township 35 North, Range 14, Town of Laona, Forest County, Wisconsin. The Notice of Noncompliance asserted the construction was completed without required approvals under Wis. Stat. § 30.12(3m) and Wis. Admin. Code § NR 329.02. On January 27, 2023, DNR filed a nuisance abatement action pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 30.03(4)(a) requesting that the Division of Hearings and Appeals hold a hearing and issue an order directing the Rudolfs to remove the fence.

The purpose of the meeting is to solicit public comment on Brown County Port and Resource Recovery Department’s proposal and answer questions on the proposal.
