Kenosha County Land & Water Resource Management Plan
Kenosha County Land and Water Resource Management Plan was initially developed in the Year 2000, and serves as a program guide for local conservation efforts. Wis. Stats., Chapter 92 requires each County to prepare a land and water plan. The plan must meet requirements of Wis. Stats., 92.06, and additional guidelines established by the Wis. Land and Water Conservation Board.
The revised Kenosha County Land & Water Resource Management Plan was developed under the guidance of a Citizen Advisory Committee that was comprised of individuals that had natural resource, nonpoint source, agricultural, or environmental backgrounds. The Committee included agency personnel from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), the University of Wisconsin- Extension, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Farm Services Agency, and SEWRPC; County elected officials and planning and land conservation staff and municipal representatives; and citizens of the County, including farmers, naturalists, a lake organization representative, and an environmental consultant. Citizen Advisory Committee meetings were held on March 26, 2007 and June 20, 2007. The Committee reviewed each chapter of the plan in draft form and provided comments and recommendations, which were then addressed in the final plan. On August 1, 2007, the Kenosha County Land and Water Conservation Committee met to approve the plan. This meeting was open to the public for citizen comment and input. This meeting was announced twice in the Kenosha News prior to the meeting as a Class II public notice. This plan was approved by the LWRMP Citizen Advisory Committee on June 20, 2007, the Kenosha County Land and Water Conservation Committee on August 1, 2007, the Kenosha County Land Use Committee on August 8, 2007 and the Kenosha County Board of Supervisors on August 21, 2007, with final approval by the Wisconsin Land and Water Conservation Board on October 2, 2007.
