DNR to rule on GENEVA LAKE level

DNR to rule on lake level -- GazetteXtra

...The corporation has hired Madison lawyer William O'Connor and hydrology experts Montgomery & Associates to advise the corporation during talks with the DNR. The corporation has asked each of the four affected municipalities—Lake Geneva, Linn, Fontana and Williams Bay—to include $2,500 in their 2013 budgets to pay for the expenses incurred as a result of the DNR orders.

State Sen. Neal Kedzie, R-Elkhorn, and Assembly Rep. Tyler August, R-Lake Geneva, have toured the area.

"I am deeply concerned about low lake levels," August said. "I know that Sen. Kedzie is also concerned. He has taken the lead on this, and I expect he will contact the DNR to make sure that economic as well as natural resources interests are protected."

While the DNR might disagree on specifics of the issue, both sides want to get the matter decided and move on, Hase said.

"We all want a resolution, and we have all agreed to resolve the matter as soon as possible," Hase said. "We are aware of concerns of the corporation and property owners. Any resolution will take into account those concerns in addition to the concerns of those who have complained about inadequate levels in the river and concerns about the fish."
