Notes
This segment of the Red Cedar River was evaluated for phosphorus and biology in 2014, 2016, 2020,, 2022, and 2024. Phosphorus levels were found to be too high, confirming the 1998 phosphorus listing. Chloride levels were appropriately low. This water is covered by a restoration plan: A Water Quality Strategy for the Land and Waters of the Red Cedar River Basin (expires 2026).Pollutant

Impaired Water Notes
Agricultural nonpoint sources and stormwater are contributing large amounts of sediment and nutrients which are impairing habitat and water quality. Large volumes of sediments and nutrients are entering the river with storm water runoff from Rice Lake and burying coarse rock rubble substrates and causing trophic cascade reactions that will impact the river far downstream.
