CALUMET COUNTY: LMI-DF-CalMan Watershed Managment Plannin Phase 3

Calumet County proposes to quantify and compartmentalize nutrient budgets for the four lakes situated along the Calumet/Manitowoc County boarder which includes Round, Becker, Boot, and Long Lakes through in-lake, tributary, groundwater and watershed monitoring and modeling. Specifically, Phase 3 will include:

1. In-lake baseline water quality monitoring of the four lakes.

2. In-lake phosphorus profiles and sediment-water interface samples.

3. Sediment core samples and analysis from each lake.

4. Tributary flow, phosphorus and suspended solids load monitoring.

5. Shallow groundwater monitoring using mini-piezometers.

6. Watershed modeling for nutrient budget utilizing EVAAL and FLUX.

7. Precipitation monitoring within the watershed.

8. Watershed stakeholder and planning committee meetings.

9. Stakeholder survey and Agricultural producers interviews.

10. Final report summarizing the results as well as an implementation plan for this watershed and these lakes.
