Purpose

Watershed plan update 2010. The North Fork of the Eau Claire River watershed lies within four Wisconsin counties: south eastern Chippewa, southwestern Taylor, northwest Clark, and northeast Eau Claire. This watershed is one of twenty-four watersheds within the Lower Chippewa River Basin. The watershed encompasses approximately 206 square miles composed of primarily agricultural and forest landscapes. Wetlands and grasslands make up the other major land use and cover in the watershed, providing home to wildlife. The watershed is located in three ecological landscapes: Forest Transition, the North Central -Forest and the Central Sand Plains. The watershed encompasses approximately 206 square miles (132,000 acres) composed of primarily agricultural and forest landscapes.

Study Design

Watershed specified for planning and assessment purposes. Assessment of water quality condition in this respective county will use protocols described in WisCALM of the year of assessment. Minimum assessment work includes biological data (macroinvertebrates, fish indices), chemistry and habitat data. Additional work includes identification of priorities and goals, creating recommendations for actions, and updating narratives for watersheds and waterbodies. Assessments are to be double checked by at least one additional biologist.
