Wis. DNR: Stay away from Jackson County dam!
Sept. 24, 2010
BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis. -- The Wisconsin DNR is urging residents to use caution around a Jackson County dam that no longer has a protective barrier due to heavy rains and flooding.
The DNR says the steel cable and float markers that warn boaters near the Hatfield Dam on Lake Arbutus have washed away.
The DNR discourages boating, or any other water activities during flooding events. The water can be contaminated with pollutants, including bacteria, manure and pesticides.
The water also contains floating debris, which can be dangerous to boaters and others on the water.
