Marathon County: Turning Plans Into Action; Improving Water Quality In Marathon County'S High Priorty Watersheds:
Project Scope and Description of Deliverables
This is a partial project as the entire project did not get funded. The partial funding will be used to support a staff position in Marathon County to implement BMP\2019s in the 319 Fenwood Watershed, which is a major contributor of P to the Big Eau Pleine and ultimately the Wisconsin River.
Project final deliverables include: Contact property owners, comprised chiefly of farmers, and introduce BMP\2019s and recruit landowners to participate in the BMP actions of the watershed plan \2013 turning plans into action.
Specific project activities include: Introduce information and education to farmers that are sources of sediment and nutrient NPS\2019s, conduct watershed stream inventory for buffers, assist landowners with program sign-ups to install BMP\2019s on the landscape needed to protect water quality.
Special Conditions: This partial funding can be used to assist Marathon County with the staff needed to improve water quality. It is expected that Marathon County will reapply for complete funding next grant cycle.
This scope summarizes the projects goals to hire staff needed to implement hard and/or soft practices to improve water quality as per the Marathon County plan and DNR\2019s Wisconsin River TMDL recommendations.
