Purpose

Garner's Creek is listed on the State's 303(d) list of impaired waterways. Garner's Creek Storm water Utility (GCSWUD) District was formed in 1998 to reduce flooding potential, improve stream bank erosion, and to enhance water quality along Garners Creek and its tributary streams. GCSWUD is formed on a mutual agreement between the Village of Combined Locks, Town of Buchanan, and the Town of Harrison for the purpose of planning and directing the development, financing, construction, operation, maintenance, regulation, and administration of a joint storm water utility system. In the last 10 year just over $2 million of Urban grants were awarded in this HUC-12.

Objective

This project will seek to evaluate contemporary conditions in Garner's Creek and small tributaries in the watershed following the formation of the district and resources that have been placed to work toward it purpose. The evaluation will focus on watershed scale alterations and changes in water quality criteria, the biological community, and habitat. In 2015, the Fox Valley Technical college was awarded a grant to support and implement a citizen volunteer network in the Lower Fox River watershed. The effort focused on monitoring water quality in the 13 major tributaries to the Lower Fox including Garner's Creek. Water Quality samples including Total Phosphorous, Total Suspended Solids, and Dissolved Reactive Phosphorous were collected on Garner's Creek 6 times during the growing season. Flow, temperature and transparency were also collected at each site. A fall macroinvertabrate sample was collected and analyzed by UW-Superior. This same effort will be replicated in 2016.

Outcome

Fish and quantitative habitat surveys will be completed at 10-13 sites. Macro-invertebrates will be collected from 8 sites. Water Quality samples will be collected at 2 sites. All data will be entered into the appropriate databases.

In 2016, volunteers were selected to help with a monitoring project in the Garner’s Creek sub-watershed. Top of FormGarner's Creek is listed on the State's 303(d) list of impaired waterways. Volunteers collected total phosphorus samples at two sites in the watershed to provide data for the assessment by the Garner's Creek Storm Water Utility (GCSWUD) District.
