Grant Awarded
The City of Shell Lake is sponsoring a three-year Water Quality Improvement Project including the following activities: water quality study with response monitoring & paleolimnological component; runoff best management practice (BMP) installation at the Industrial Park & City Park; lake access restorations.
USGS will coordinate water quality & phosphorous monitoring, analyses, & P budget with nutrient response modeling. DNR Research staff will coordinate paleolimnological sediment core sampling, analyses, & reporting.
BMPs will be designed/constructed with an engineering firm & City. Installed practices require a 10 year operation/maintenance plan & contract. Shoreline restoration parcels require a WDNR approved restrictive covenant permanently establishing the vegetative buffer on the parcel. Restorations will follow standards in NR 191.24(3) unless mutually agreed to in writing with the DNR lake coordinator prior to implementation. The Department must review engineering/design plans before installation & may perform site inspection &/or monitoring.
