NOW: Controversial Kohler golf course plan moves ahead

SHEBOYGAN COUNTY, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Despite some worries about its impact on the environment, state regulators have approved the first of several permits for a Kohler company golf course in Sheboygan County.

The DNR approved a permit to allow the company to destroy more than three acres of Wetland. In exchange, Kohler will create wetlands elsewhere in the Sheboygan and Manitowoc watersheds.

Kohler has plans to build a championship-level course on more than 200 acres.
