NR 329.04(2)(d)12.12. The approach road to the ford may not be raised above the elevation of the surrounding natural ground elevation.
NR 329.04(2)(d)13.13. Any grading, excavation and land disturbance shall be confined to the minimum area necessary for the construction and may not exceed 10,000 square feet.
NR 329.04(2)(d)14.14. All equipment used for the project shall be designed and properly sized to minimize the amount of sediment that can escape into the water.
NR 329.04(2)(d)15.15. Material excavated from the streambed or banks may not be placed in any surface water body or wetland and may not be placed in a floodway.
NR 329.04(2)(d)16.16. Construction of the ford may not occur during periods of high stream flow or high water conditions where the flow is not confined to the immediate stream channel.
NR 329.04(2)(e)(e) Public boat landing standards.
NR 329.04(2)(e)1.1. A boat landing shall be open to the general public.
NR 329.04(2)(e)2.2. A boat landing may not be located in an area of special natural resource interest, except for boat landings constructed and maintained by a local, state or federal agency. However, no boat landing may be placed within a public rights feature as described in s. NR 1.06.
NR 329.04(2)(e)3.3. A boat landing may be placed and maintained only by a riparian.
NR 329.04(2)(e)4.4. A boat landing shall be placed entirely within the riparian’s zone of interest, as determined by one of the methods outlined in ch. NR 326.
NR 329.04(2)(e)5.5. A boat landing shall be designed and constructed to prevent structural failure caused by wave, wind or ice action and shall be maintained in good condition at all times.
NR 329.04(2)(e)6.6. Material removed or excavated to construct the boat landing may not be placed in a wetland, floodway or below the ordinary high water mark of any navigable waterway.

A boat landing shall consist of a 6- to 24-inch layer of crushed rock, a 6- to 18-inch layer of crushed rock capped with a 4-inch minimum thickness pre-cast reinforced concrete planks or a cast-in-place reinforced concrete slab, each with a 6- to 18-inch crushed rock base. Pre-cast planks shall be connected to prevent displacement.
NR 329.04(2)(e)8.8. A boat landing shall have a slope no steeper than 7 foot horizontal to one foot vertical (7H:1V) and may not exceed 50 feet in length or beyond the line of navigation, whichever is less.
NR 329.04(2)(e)9.9. A boat landing may not be located in or across a wetland.
