Any request for a public meeting on the proposed treatment must be made within five (5) days after this notice is published. The request must specify the topics to be discussed at the meeting, including the problems and alternatives, and must be sent in writing to Eric Boettcher at eboettcher@whitewater-wi.gov and to the Wisconsin DNR, to Heidi.bunk@wisconsin.gov.
