Emails on Eagle Spring Lake Posting

Brian -
We follow the RKLD activity closely here and often cite your case against the DNR to our own lake district.  We saw that you posted the article from the Milwaukee paper and wanted to add to it.  The issue here is like yours, a very small group of people on neighboring LuLu Lake who have teamed with the DNR to reach a pre-determined outcome for Eagle Spring Lake. 

By very small, I mean there are only 2 houses on LuLu - LuLu is only accessbable by a private road off of Nature Road - and by pontoon from Eagle Spring Lake.

A nature conservancy as recently as this past June, joined the DNR to co-purchase a  private parcel; see - DNR Buys Private Land Near Eagle Springs Lake

This is the motivation of the DNR - and like Lake Koshkonong, the DNR and a few deep pocketed local donors to the DNR are incrementally getting their way and keeping all boat traffic off this navigatble water way.  Even the DNR's report endorsing this purchase for over $1m cite the same exact issues that they cite against Koshkonong's water levels.

Thanks for posting everything on your science page. We will borrow from it where needed.
