Water is impaired due to one or more pollutants and associated quality impacts.
Notes
Dutchman Creek is impaired by unionized ammonia and phosphorus. This water is part of the Lower Fox River TP & TSS TMDL that was approved by the EPA in 2012.
Evaluations every two-year cycle from 2016 to 2024 confirmed the phosphorus impairment.Pollutant

Impaired Water Notes
The Lower Fox River Basin TP and TSS TMDL was approved by the U.S. EPA on May 18, 2012. The TMDL covers 27 waterbody segments impaired by total phosphorus and 18 waterbodies impaired by TSS for a total of 45 TMDLs. These TMDLs address degraded habitat, low Dissolved Oxygen (DO), eutrophication, and turbidity impairments.

Impaired Water Notes
This water was assessed during the 2016 listing cycle; total phosphorus sample data exceed 2016 WisCALM listing criteria for the Fish and Aquatic Life use and biological impairment was observed (i.e. at least one macroinvertebrate or fish Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) scored in the poor condition category).
Date

Impaired Water Notes
This water was assessed during the 2018 listing cycle; total phosphorus and new macroinvertebrate sample data exceed 2018 WisCALM listing criteria for the Fish and Aquatic Life use (i.e. at least one macroinvertebrate Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) average scored in the poor condition category). New temperature sample data were clearly below 2018 WisCALM listing thresholds for the Fish and Aquatic Life use.
