Watershed Mapping or Assessment
Biological, chemical, and physical assessment of Oak Creek in support of development of a Watershed Plan.
Monitor Targeted Watershed Area (TWA)
Oak Creek-Frontal Lake Michigan TWA WQM Plan 2017 Final Draft
Monitor or Assess Watershed Condition
Work with local area experts and multiple program DNR staff to identify areas throughout the watershed where stream habitat can be restored and connectivity improved.
Habitat Restoration - Shoreland
Work with partners and state pass through grant programs to encourage local entities to seek fundsto support habitat restoration and corridor continuity.
Shoreland Monitoring, Assessment, Inventory
Through monitoring, investigations and possibly modeling identify the primary sources of phosphorus and chlorides in the watershed.
Runoff Grant - Urban Nonpoint Source & Stormwater Management - Construction
Based on the results of the phosphorus and chlorides investigation/surveys, investigate / pursue local runoff management and river/stream grants to help initiate management actions that reduce inputs of these pollutants into water resources.
Information and Education
Identify potential partners and stakeholders to participate in an overall awareness and behavioral change program in the watershed that result in reduced erosion and phosphorus inputs.
Water Quality Planning
Oak Creek-Frontal Lake Michigan TWA WQM Plan (2017)
Engage Volunteers in Monitoring/Restoration
Continue to support Citizen Based Monitoring volunteer efforts to track total phosphorus and chloride in Oak Creek and tributaries.
Monitor Water Quality or Sediment
Monitor dissolved oxygen conditions on Mitchell Field Drainage Ditch.
Monitor Water Quality or Sediment
Water quality biologists should continue to monitor Oak Creek and tributaries in order to document existing conditions and capture the potential improvements from BMP installations.
Engage Volunteers in Monitoring/Restoration
Recruit Citizen-Based Stream Monitors to assist with on-going Watershed monitoring.
TMDL Monitoring
Review wastewater and stormwater discharges in the watershed for compliance.
