Restoration of Mineral Springs Creek with the removal of Mineral Springs Dam.

Ozaukee Co. will replace a four barrel culvert crossing, which is a low-flow fish passage barrier, with a full culvert replacement. Project outcomes include: (1) one fish passage impediment removed, (2) finished installation of new passable culvert, (3) 0.72 miles of upstream channel opened to fish passage, (4) aquatic life access to 25.3 acres of wetlands, (5) aquatic life access to 11.0 acres of floodplain/floodway and (6) 7.6 acres of potentially restorable wetlands reconnected directly to Lake Michigan.
