We have clarification from the DNR of what to do with floating bogs. When a floating bog has broken free from its natural location and floats to private or public property, the property owners where the bog landed are responsible for moving or removing the bog. “Moving a floating bog away from your property requires a DNR aquatic plant management permit issued through the DNR Regional Fisheries Office.” Our nearest office is in Sauk Rapids (tel: 320-223-7878). The DNR’s responsibility includes but is limited to “providing advice and approval on bog disposition” and removing “floating bogs lodged on state owned dams or other DNR property.” Permits have been approved for nearby lakes and so this is not a dead end. For more information see https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/permits/water/needpermit.html and scroll down to “Floating Bogs.” ** We have also obtained special bog removal permits for current CLPO members. Please see Bog Management Permits for additional information. |
