Natural qegetation ' ` <br /> in shozeland areas will be preserved insofar as practical and reasonable � <br /> in order to retard surface runoff and soil erosion , and to utilize � <br /> excess nutrients. Clearcutting will be prohibited. In areas of soil � <br /> or wave action erosion , natural stone zip rap shoreline protection will ; <br /> be encouraged: � <br />�LAKE BED ALTERATIONS WILL BE DISCOURAGED BECAUSE OF ADVERSE SHORT-TERM ' <br />� AND LONG-TERM EFFECTS ON WATER QUA.LITY. Dredging of lake beds releases � ; <br /> large amounts of otherwise trapped nutzients and silt which adversely • <br /> affects water quality for lonq periods of time . Dredging of new ' <br /> =channels or inlets will t�ot be approved to provide riparian access � � � <br /> where none existed naturally.
