Finding of Emergency
The Department is aware that several ATV trails in Wisconsin overlap existing roads. From the onset of the program, these overlapping paths were identified as trails, signed accordingly, and were eligible to receive ATV grant funds. A few years ago, the ORV Advisory Council and WI County Forestry Association proposed that the Department revise ch.
NR 64
to accommodate paths used by both ATVs and motor vehicles. These trail-route combinations – also called hybrid trails but commonly referred to as "troutes" – will be eligible for future maintenance grant funding at the current rate if it can be shown that the hybrid trails ("troute") existed prior to the effective date of this rule.
This emergency rule will establish a new category of all-terrain trail commonly called a "troute", or a trail-route combination, that provides a connector between trails and allows grant funding for these unique trails. An emergency rule is needed because we anticipate that the permanent rule revisions to ch.
NR 64
that will include troutes will not be effective until Sept 2012, at the earliest. Without this emergency rule, DNR will not be able to award grants to project sponsors for ATV "troutes" in July 2012, as is our practice. About one-third of the trails in northern Wisconsin are "troutes" and have been funded as trails since the program started. Our partners count upon grant funds for troute maintenance.
Without this Emergency Rule, the integrity and safety of troutes could be severely compromised. Our partners may be forced to close troutes without grant funding to maintain them until the permanent rule is effective. If troutes are closed, riders could be stranded in an unfamiliar location or be forced to turn around and ride back the same way they came instead of continuing onto their destination.
