Water is impaired due to one or more pollutants and associated quality impacts.
Notes
This portion of Koshkonong Creek was evaluated every two years from 2012 to 2020 for temperature, phosphorus, and biology. Phosphorus levels were found to be too high, reflected in the poor condition of fish and bug communities. The 2020 evaluation found temperature levels were good and this listing was removed.
