(a) Notice to DNR. The County shall transmit a notice of any change (text or map) to the shoreland provisions of this ordinance to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Notice requirements shall be as follows:

(b) Review Standards for C-1 Changes. No wetland in a Shoreland C-1 District shall be rezoned if the rezoning may result in a significant adverse impact on storm or floodwater storage capacity; maintenance of dry season streamflow, the discharge of groundwater from the wetland to another area, or the flow of groundwater through a wetland; filtering or storage of sediments, otherwise drain into navigable waters; shoreland protection against soil erosion; fish spawning, breeding, nursery or feeding grounds; wildlife habitat; or areas of special recreational, scenic or scientific interest, including scarce wetland types. Wetlands both within the boundary of designated areas of special natural resource interest and those wetlands which are in proximity to or have a direct hydrologic connection to such designated areas as defined in NR 103 Wis. Adm. Code.

(c) DNR Objections. If the DNR has notified the County Planning, Development & Extension Education Committee that an amendment to the shoreland portion of the C-1 District may have a significant adverse impact upon any of the criteria listed in paragraph (b) above, then that amendment, if approved by the County Board, shall contain the following provision:

“This amendment shall not take effect until more than 30 days have elapsed after written notice of the County board’s approval of this amendment is mailed to the Department of Natural Resources. During that 30-day period the Department of Natural Resources may notify the County board that it will adopt a superseding shoreland ordinance for the County under s. 59.692(6), Wis. Stats. If the Department does so notify the County board, the effect of this amendment shall be stayed until the adoption procedure is completed or otherwise terminated.”
