Juneau, Sauk County, Wisconsin
LW23
1286700
0.00 - 6.43
6.43
Water is impaired due to one or more pollutants and associated quality impacts.
Notes
Crossman Creek was listed for degraded habitat and turbidity due to suspended solids in the creek in 1998.

This water was assessed during the 2014 listing cycle; based on the regional biologist's habitat assessment and biological data this water should be delisted for TSS. Total phosphorus sample data exceed 2014 WisCALM listing criteria for the Fish and Aquatic Life use, however, available biological data do not indicate impairment (i.e. no macroinvertebrate or fish Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) scored in the "poor" condition category).

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, however, available biological data do not indicate impairment (i.e. no macroinvertebrate or fish Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) scored in the "poor" condition category). This water was also assessed for temperature and sample data did not exceed 2016 WisCALM listing criteria for the Fish and Aquatic Life use.

This water was assessed during the 2018 listing cycle; total phosphorus sample data exceed 2018 WisCALM listing criteria for the Fish and Aquatic Life use, however, temperature and available biological data do not indicate impairment (i.e. no macroinvertebrate or fish Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) scored in the "poor" condition category).

Assessments of new data during the 2020 listing cycle showed temperature levels appropriate for healthy aquatic communities like plants, fish, and bugs.
This water is part of the Wisconsin River TMDL.
