MINOCQUA/KAWAGUESAGA LAKES PROTECTION ASSN.: Minocqua Lake/Watershed & Water Quality Master Plan, Phase 2

Purpose

The Minocqua-Kawaguesaga Lakes Protection Association, Inc. will sponsor a project to develop a lake/watershed and water quality management master plan that protects and preserves the natural beauty and resources of the area. The project primary goal is to improve the lake watershed area water quality in Minocqua and Kawaguesaga lakes through data collection, field reconnaissance inventory, testing, modeling, and analysis of hydraulic, hydrologic water quality and biological data. This plan will lay out future recommended water resource best management practices (BMP), land use and BMP implementation projects to accommodate the growing population while maintaining and protecting the natural resource waters of Minocqua and Kawaguesaga Lakes. Through studies and analysis of water quality/quantity data and modeling, identification of lake/watershed best management practices and development of appropriate comprehensive ordinances. This project will produce a plan and guidance document. Products: 1. Hold public meetings with Lake Association, Oneida County, Town of Minocqua, Town of Woodruff to begin the process to adopt the lake/watershed/storm water, fertilizer, and erosion control ordinances. 2. Delineate the tributary watersheds and subwatersheds to the lakes. Field reconnaissance reviews and data collection. 3. Gather existing and future land uses data. 4. Gather census data and analyze historical and projected (summer and winter) population data. 5. Conduct water quantity and water quality modeling in the developed and undeveloped area(s) using existing data. 6. Prepare a Final (written and electronic) LWMMP Report and Action Plan. 7. Present Final project results to the Lake Association Board, Oneida and Vilas Counties, and Towns of Minocqua and Woodruff. 8. Conduct educational activities, Public information and public presentations.
