On Aug. 15, 2023, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (Department) issued Permit #IP-SE-2022-65-00919 to Susan Guthart to dredge materials from Lake Beulah located in the SW 1/4, NE 1/4., Section 08, Township 04, Range 18E, in the Town of East Troy, Walworth County. On or about Sept. 14, 2023, RE3 Legal, LLC (Petitioner) filed for a Petition for a Contested Case Hearing with the department pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 30.209.

By letter dated Oct. 16, 2023, the department granted the Petitioner’s request for a contested case hearing on the following issues: (1) whether the department complied with the procedural requirements specified in Wis. Stat. §§ 30.208(3)-(5) prior to issuing the dredging permit; and (2) whether the issuance of the dredging permit was consistent with the public interest in Lake Beulah and therefore met the standard in Wis. Stat. § 30.20(2)(c).

On November 7, 2023, the Division of Hearings and Appeals received, for filing, an original request for hearing from the Department. The hearing was originally scheduled for April 22, 2024. Based on the agreement of the parties, the contested case hearing has been rescheduled.
