Rep. Hintz Endorses Shoreland Restoration

State Assembly Representative Gordon Hintz has endorsed the Menominee Park Shoreland Restoration project and five (5) year plan. Rep. Hintz played an important part in helping the city of Oshkosh secure the funds to complete the 2009/10 study of the Miller's Bay area.

 This study was highly critical of the city's shoreland management, suggesting that “Miller’s Bay shoreline is incredibly poor and provides no aesthetic, habitat, or buffering value to the bay. Turf maintenance along the bay’s shoreline leads to increased runoff of nutrients, sediments, and other pollutants to Lake Winnebago, while providing appealing loafing grounds to nuisance levels of Canada geese.”
