Hawkeye is incorrect when he says the "increase would not harm the wetlands". RKLD's own research claims that wetland loss is a possibility. Specifically, here is the quote from the "Negative Impacts" section of the Environmental Response to Proposed Operating Order Change dated April 4, 2003: "Higher water levels may cause shallow marshes to proceed to lake phase". I don't blame anyone for wanting more water, but to claim that raising the water won't hurt the wetlands contradicts the WDNR, LKWA, and even the RKLD's own study. Lake Koshkonong has already lost hundreds of acres of wetlands as lake levels have risen over seven feet. Does anyone really think that raising the water level now would somehow have a *different* impact than it has in the past?

Waa HOO! Our long regional nightmare is over! With any luck the District will stop raising our taxes and mismanaging our money. When are we going back to the $25 assessment they promised?

JimP, are you claiming the RKLD proposal would create additional wetlands? Then how do you explain the phrase "Higher water levels may cause shallow marshes to proceed to lake phase" in RKLD's own report?
