3.11.090 Wetlands Inventory Map

The Bad River Tribe hereby designates for reference an official inventory map of wetland areas showing the general location of wetlands within the exterior borders of the Bad River Reservation, Ashland and Iron Counties, Wisconsin on their Geographical Information System in the Bad River Natural Resources Department. The said wetlands map shall be updated either from on-site inspection by Bad River Natural Resources Department at their discretion and when the Wisconsin Wetlands Inventory maps are revised. The wetlands map shall serve as a general guide for the delineation of wetland boundaries. Field investigations to delineate the precise boundaries of wetlands on a project site shall be the responsibility of the applicant. In cases where the Bad River Tribe needs additional information to complete a permit application review, the Bad River Natural Resources Department may complete on site investigations of protected wetlands and watercourses at the expense of the applicant or require the applicant to provide such information.

The Wetland Inventory Map shows only the general location of wetlands. The map should be consulted by persons contemplating activities in or near wetlands before engaging in a regulated activity. The Wetland Inventory Map together with an explanatory letter is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this ordinance. The Wetland Inventory Map shall be on file in the office of the Bad River Natural Resources Department.
