Water is impaired due to one or more pollutants and associated quality impacts.
Notes
On 303d List since 1998. Sediment Survey, Frame Park Creek (W. Wawrzyn, Aartila, T., 1998) Stations: Frame Park Creek Mouth, North Branch, South Branch Parameters: Metals, PAHs, PCBs Results: Comparison with Consensus Based Sediment Quality Guidelines (WDNR, CBSQGs, 2004) shows Probable Effect Concentration exceedances for multiple PAHs at all sites, and for metals at Mouth and North Branch sites. (C. Helker, Hudak, A., Bolha, D., 2007) Stations: Mouth (SWIMS Station: 10020563), North Branch (SWIMS Station: 10020562), South Branch (SWIMS Station: 10020564) Results: Fish IBI scores very poor at all stations, with the two upstream stations having one and no fish, respectively. Habitat is degraded, with all sites channelized and significant sedimentation at upstream sites. Pollutant

Impaired Water Notes
The contributing watershed to Frame Park Creek has numerous industries, municipal waste yards, and NPS contributions. These sources of pollutants, along a documented spill and associated fish kill (2006), significant historical habitat modification and stream enclosure, have contributed to the degradation of the biological community of Frame Park Creek.

Impaired Water Notes
Frame Park Creek is listed on the Impaired Waters List for degraded habitat, chronic toxicity, temperature, and low dissolved oxygen, due to point and non-point source discharges. Historical sediment monitoring and recent Whole Effluent Toxicity, Fish Community, and Habitat surveys support the continued listing of this waterbody, with an expansion to the list of pollutants and sources of impairments.
Recommendation: Adding PAHs to the listed Pollutants. Adding Contaminated Sediment and Physical Habitat (enclosure) to the Sources of Impairments.
