SWIMS Stations: 10031346, 10014194,10031350, 10031345, 10014238. Silver Spring Creek in Lafayette County is on the state's list of impaired waters due to habitat degradation from sediment. In 2010, a project was initiated to monitor phosphorus and sediment loads entering the stream. The project will then look to manage upland sources of sediment and nutrients in order to improve water quality and eventually remove the site from the impaired waters list.

This project specifically looks to continue monitoring of sediment and nutrient loads at 5 sites in the watershed during the growing season in accordance with WISCALM guidance.
