Water is impaired due to one or more pollutants and associated quality impacts.
Notes
This segment of the Fox River was put on the state's Impaired Waters List in the 1998 cycle for PCBs in fish tissue. This river segment was evaluated every two-year cycle from 2012 to 2024; phosphorus was identified as too high in the 2012 cycle and added to the list along with poor biology. Chloride and bug data evaluation showed no impairment. In the 2022 cycle fish communities were shown to be in poor condition, confirming the degraded biology impairment.Pollutant
