RKLD Goes the Extra Mile

DNR Ken Johnson testimony April 4th, 2006

DNR Johnson was asked how did did the DNR justify their requirement that the RKLD provide evidence, such as bathymetry and hydro data, that is far more extensive than what the DNR uses to set its own water level orders.

DNR responded that Koshkonong is one of the largest lakes; a complicated and substantial resource. In the DNR's opinion, the RKLD is asking for a substantial change in operating orders. As a government entity, the RKLD should be able to support its request with data.

We did -- and at great expense to our property owners -- but the result is, the RKLD is now the largest repository of scientific data collected from Lake Koshkonong.

RKLD has paid for the right to call itself the ecological, biological, hydrological experts of Lake Koshkonong/Rock River.
