Lake Redstone Protection District
Shoreline/Runoff Assessment Workshop
Friday, May 29th from 4-5:30pm
La Valle Town Hall
Was your property rated as Red (High priority) or Orange (Mdium priority) in last year's Shoreline/Runoff Assessment? Last October, results were US mailed to all property owners whose parcels were rated in those two categories. Others received theirs upon request. If you didn't receive your assessment, please send an email to lrpd.board@gmail.com requesting a copy.
This workshop is open to ALL property owners on the lake regardless of their parcel's assessment result.
Representatives from the Lake Redstone Protection District, along with Mitch McCarthy from Sauk County, and Nathan Ihde from Gonzo Valley Landscaping, will be presenting and answering questions. Topics include:
-
Why residential property runoff is so important to be controlled for lake health reasons, and the potential for aesthetic improvements
-
Reimbursements available for improvement projects
-
Potential methods of addressing the findings in your assessment
-
Insights in to landscaping
Update On Artificial Enhanced Wake Ordinance
On Monday, March 9th the Town of La Valle Board passed an ordinance prohibiting the use of wake enhancement equipment and operations within 400 feet of the shoreline. Furthermore, restricted hours of operation are now 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. While a depth restriction was not included in the ordinance, the LRPD strongly encourages wake surfing only in water depths of 20 feet or more to protect the lake bottom.
Geese Roundup Form
A second roundup is budgeted for next year. Per the USDA, who has been doing geese roundups in the area since 1999, this will not need to be a regular activity. If you are interested in adding your property to the permission list as a possible collection point before next year’s round up, Pease complete the Permission Form and return it to the LRPD.
The form can be mailed to:
Lake Redstone Protection District
PO Box 313
La Valle, WI 53941
Or emailed to: lrpd.board@gmail.com

Zebra Mussels
With the large number of outside visitors coming to the lake this summer, we would encourage residents to be diligent in looking for invasive species as you remove your boats and docks this year. A number of nearby lakes have zebra mussels. So far, we have avoided getting these in our lake.
If you suspect that you have found these or other invasives, please contact the board at lrpd.board@gmail.com.
