Return to Search

Purpose

Richland County LCD proposes to conduct baseline water chemistry and biological monitoring on 7 lakes within the Lower Wisconsin River floodplain in Richland County, which have little or no baseline data despite their ecological significance in the riverway. Water quality will be sampled, along with aquatic plants presence inventory, land uses, and springs. A final report will make recommendations for future management and protection, and be shared with DNR and other governmental partners. Findings will be presented at a public meeting and in a fact sheet and newspaper articles.
