Impaired Water Notes
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, temperature levels and biological data do not indicate impairment (i.e. no macroinvertebrate or fish Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) scored in the "poor" condition category). This water is listed under category 5W because it is part of the DNR approved 9 key element plan for Lake Weyauwega sub-watershed of the Waupaca River Watershed.
