Question #91

Walleye Daily Bag Limit Change, Petenwell & Castlerock Flowages

This question makes an apparently incorrect statement;

"The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) agreement requires the Wisconsin River Power Company (WRPC) to perform a spawning survey to determine the impacts to the fishery and vegetation"

According to a representative of the (WRPC), Mr. Darren Johnson, Biologist, the (WRPC) has no knowledge of such an agreement.

Response from DNR regarding questionnaire error


It will not be stricken from the questionnaire, there simply isn't time. However as we discussed, I will do what I can to spread the word about this issue. I spoke with Darrin Johnson this afternoon and shared the same information with him. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention.
