Best Management Practices, Implement
Stream corridors should be managed to encourage removal of woody vegetation to prevent overgrowth along banks, to control regrowth, and use management practices that avoid destabilization of banks.
Monitor and/or Protect Groundwater, Sourcewater
DNR should work with the county and local partners to identify protection measures for sensitive waters in the watershed – North Branch, Walker Creek, and unnamed tributaries.
Runoff Grant
Marinette County Conservation Department and/or other county staff should apply for runoff and river grants to identify and fund specific resource actions that would further protect and restore the high quality waters of the North Beaver Creek Subwatershed area.
Rivers Management Grant
Marinette County Conservation Department and/or other county staff should apply for runoff and river grants to identify and fund specific resource actions that would further protect and restore the high quality waters of the North Beaver Creek Subwatershed area.
Master Planning
DNR should update the Master Plan for the North Branch Beaver Creek State Fishery Area, which was last updated in 1980 (see map).
Control Streambank Erosion
Stream corridors should be managed to encourage removal of woody vegetation to prevent overgrowth along banks, to control regrowth, and use management practices that avoid destabilization of banks. North Branch Beaver Creek (520400)
Best Management Practices, Implement
DNR should continue to pursue partnership projects with local area conservation organizations including trout unlimited and local agencies.
• DNR should work with local partners to reduce streambank grazing and reducing related impacts and related programs through conservation practices.
