Assessments and recommendations for the Watershed. Pine and Calvin Creek TWA WQM Plan Final [MA01]

Pine and Calvin Creek TWA WQM Plan 2017 Presentation

Calvin Creek 15 meters US Clover Road: Natural Community

Calvin Creek 200 meters DS South 26th Natural Community Validation 2017

Calvin Creek 200 meters DS South 26th Street NC Validation 2017

Both intolerant and tolerant species are outside the expected range, therefore the difference in NC is likely human-caused so NC should not be changed. (Mary)

This project is a targeted watershed assessment for the Pine Creek subwatershed under the planning category. The goal is to assess the overall chemical, physical and biological condition of both Pine Creek and Calvin Creek which discharge to Lake Michigan. WAV Volunteers were selected to monitor total phosphorus levels at two sites in the Pine Creek subwatershed for this project.

Targeted watershed assessment for the Pine Creek subwatershed under the planning category. Assess the overall chemical, physical and biological condition of both Pine Creek and Calvin Creek which discharge to Lake Michigan.

Calvin Creek should be added to the state's 303d List of impaired waters due to the total phosphorus concentrations exceeding the WisCALM guidance.

Assess the condition of all the lakes within the Pine and Calvin Creeks Subwatershed since this study only focused on streams.

Natural Community validation or recommended changes or updates based on analysis of fish species found in recent surveys: Station 10045061, Calvin Creek 200 meters DS South 26th Street was modeled as a WARM HEADWATER but is recommended as a Cool Warm Headwater based on the 2017 Natural Community temperature evaluation analysis tool.

Station 10016013, Pine Creek above Cth U was modeled as a WARM HEADWATER but is recommended as a Cool Cold Headwater based on the 2017 Natural Community temperature evaluation analysis tool.

Station 10045063, Pine Creek 25 Meters US Gass Lake Road was modeled as a WARM HEADWATER but is recommended as a Cool Warm Headwater based on the 2017 Natural Community temperature evaluation analysis tool.

Station 10044972, Calvin Creek 15 meters US Clover Road was modeled as WARM HEADWATER but is recommended as a Cool Warm Headwater based on the 2017 Natural Community temperature evaluation analysis tool.
