NR 115 Shore land Zoning rules

Wisconsin's NR 115 sets minimum zoning standards for unincorporated shorelands (within 1,000 ft of lakes/ponds/flowages or 300 ft of rivers/streams) to protect water quality, habitat, and natural beauty. Key rules include a 75-foot structural setback from the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM), impervious surface limits, and restrictions on shoreline vegetation removal.
