Natural Resources — water restoration

Matt Poehnelt appeals an order requiring him to restore waters that he was convicted of illegally altering. This is the second appeal relating to the restoration order. See State v. Poehnelt (Poehnelt I), No. 2009AP981, unpublished slip op. (WI App Nov. 24, 2009), review denied (WI Feb. 23, 2010). Poehnelt asserts the scope of the restoration order is too broad and violates the statute of limitations. He also contends the circuit court considered inaccurate information in the “weighing of equities” and improperly required Poehnelt to present his case first. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
