Water is impaired due to one or more pollutants and associated quality impacts.
Notes
Clear Creek is on the 303d list for elevated water temperature, which impairs aquatic life in the stream.
This water was assessed during the 2018 listing cycle; temperature sample data does not exceed 2018 WisCALM listing criteria for the Fish and Aquatic Life use 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).Pollutant

Impaired Water Notes
Fish surveys conducted in 2002 found only warmwater forage species and no trout. Calculated coldwater and warmwater IBI scores were very poor.
Continuous water level monitoring below a cranberry marsh impoundment in 2003 found extreme stream flow fluctuations caused by the marsh discharge. Clear Creek has little potential as a trout stream as long as the cranberry marsh impoundment is located upstream.
A fish survey completed in July 2007 at CTH O found 6 warm water species. The cold and warm water IBI rating was poor and very poor, respectively. A macroinvertebrate sample was collected but results are not available.
