Notes
The North Branch of Manitowoc River suffers from low dissolved oxygen from total suspended solids and total phosphorus. It was added to the Impaired Waters List in the 1998 cycle. Evaluations during every two-year cycle from 2014 to 2024 confirmed the phosphorus impairments. This water is covered by the Northeast Lakeshore TMDL, approved in 2023.Pollutant
