Wendt Creek TMDL
Return to Search

Purpose

Wendt Creek TMDL study was funded through special projects 2006. The stream was monitored for habitat impairments caused by sedimentation. Conduct habitat surveys at four stations (Wendt Dr., STH 78, Carter Rd, and Spring Valley Road). The study conducted Fish IBIs at four sites previously mentioned above., as well as macroinvertebrates at the four locations. Staff deployed tidbits at the same sites. DNR staff met with the county to review inventory records and past BMP work as well as sediment sources. Staff reviewed USLE, RUSLE, BARNY records and conducted watershed evaluation of current crop rotations, barnyards, slopes susceptible to erosion (rill/ gully).

Objective

Wendt Creek was identified as one of five TMDL's selected by South Central Region. This stream is currently on the 303d list for habitat with sediment being the pollutant. Wendt Creek was part of the original Black Earth Creek Priority Watershed (1986-98), it has 6.0 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. Stream will be evaluated to determine if stream has the potential to be listed as trout water.

Outcome

Habitat HI- 4 locations listed in #1 above. Fish IBI’s- IBI data will be collected at 4 locations. Macroinvertebrates HBI’s- collected at 4 locations listed in #1. Report will be generated in the winter of 2006-07.
