The purpose of this study of Fenwood Creek (Lower Big Eau Pleine River Watershed, Marathon County) was to collect baseline macroinvertebrate samples to assess biological conditions for 9 Key element plan and future implementation of BMPs in watershed. This data was combined with chemistry and habitat data from the Fenwood Creek 2017-2019 study to produce, "Fenwood Creek, Marathon County, Water Quality Report to Restore Wisconsin's Waters" (TWA/WQ Plan, 2021).
