Water is impaired due to one or more pollutants and associated quality impacts.
Notes
This segment of Badger Mill Creek was on the Impaired Waters List for elevated sediment from 1998 to 2002.
Evaluations were done every two-year cycle from 2014 to 2022; phosphorus levels were identified as too high in the 2018 cycle. Chloride, temperature, fish and bug data indicated otherwise good conditions.Pollutant

Impaired Water Notes
This water was assessed during the 2018 listing cycle; new total phosphorus sample data overwhelmingly exceed 2018 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).
