This water was assessed during the 2020 listing cycle; new total phosphorus sample data exceed 2020 WisCALM listing criteria for the Aquatic Life use, however, no biological data (i.e. no macroinvertebrate or fish Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) scores) were available to assess biological impairment. This water is listed under category 5W because it is part of the DNR approved 9 key elements plan for Lake Weyauwega sub-watershed of the Waupaca River Watershed.
