Water is impaired due to one or more pollutants and associated quality impacts.
Notes
South Branch Of Underwood Creek was identified as impaired in 2012 for degraded biological communities caused by high phosphorus. This listing is part of the Milwaukee River TMDL, approved in 2018. During the 2018 cycle chloride was identified as causing toxicity for organisms in the stream. Assessments in 2022 and 2024 confirmed the phosphorus and chloride listings. This water is covered by the Menomonee River Watershed Nine Key Plan, approved in January 2022.Pollutant
