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.
