Purpose

Vermont Creek was identified as one of five TMDL's selected by South Central Region. This stream is currently on the 303d list for habitat and temperature with sediment being the pollutant. Vermont Creek was part of the original Black Earth Creek Priority Watershed (1986-98), it has 4.0 miles listed as impaired. That area has had a significant amount of resources allocated towards sediment reduction. Data will be compared against pre-BMP work.

Objective

What: Monitor Vermont Creek for habitat impairments caused by sedimentation. Conduct habitat surveys at three stations  CTH KP 10011931,  Michaelis Road, 10012507 and  Blue Mounds Trail). Conduct Fish IBI’s at three sites previously mentioned above. Collect Macroinvertebrates at four locations ( CTH KP, 10011931,  Michaelis Road, 10012507  Blue Mounds Trail, and  Vermont Church Road- 10012508. Deploy two additional Tidbits at  Danz Road 10009346,  STH 78. Meet with county to go over inventory records and past BMP work as well as sediment sources. Review USLE, RUSLE, and BARNY records. Conduct watershed evaluation of current crop rotations, barnyards, slopes susceptible to erosion (rill/ gully).

Outcome

3. Performance Measure(s) (including sample collection, report completion date, etc.): Habitat HI- 3 locations listed in #1 above. Fish IBI’s- IBI’s and trout frequency data will be collected at 3 locations. Macroinvertebrates HBI’s- collected at 4 locations listed in #1. Report will be generated in the winter of 2006-07.
