Impaired Water Notes
Butler Ditch is in the Menomonee River Watershed and has been assessed by monitoring and modeling work. The information summarized from this report notes fecal coliform exceedances are poor on an annual basis and considered poor through the swimming season. Fecal coliform concentrations exceed 400 cfu/100 ml 36% of time on annual basis and 21 % seasonally which exceed the 10% threshold needed for listing. It is a variance water (dst from Honey Creek). Fecal coliform loads to this watershed are considered significant and are a concern when addressing Fecal Coliform in the Menomonee River Watershed.
