Watershed - Mosinee Flowage (CW16)
Mosinee Flowage Watershed

Details

The Mosinee Flowage Watershed is located in Marathon County and lies within the towns of Mosinee and Rib Mountain. This watershed was ranked using the Nonpoint Source Priority Watershed Selection Criteria. Based on surface and ground water data, the overall ranking is medium. The overall NPS ranking establishes the Mosinee Flowage Watershed as a priority for grant eligibility through the Nonpoint Source Program. Excessive erosion and decrease of aesthetic views of the landscape are two concerns regarding current building locations. Strict erosion control methods should be enforced to reduce the amount of siltation in the surface water run-off in the Mosinee Flowage Watershed. Rotten granite, or Grus, deposits occur in the Mosinee Flowage Watershed. One site, Hog Creek, is currently being excavated and excess water is being removed from the site. Whether the other deposits will be mined in the future is unknown.

Ecological Landscapes for Mosinee Flowage Watershed

Ecological Landscapes

The Forest Transition Ecological Landscape lies along the northern border of Wisconsin's Tension Zone, through the central and western part of the state, and supports both northern forests and agricultural areas. The central portion of the Forest Transition lies primarily on a glacial till plain deposited by glaciation between 25,000 and 790,000 years ago. The eastern and western portions are on moraines of the Wisconsin glaciation. The growing season in this part of the state is long enough that agriculture is viable, although climatic conditions are not as favorable as in southern Wisconsin. Soils are diverse, ranging from sandy loam to loam or shallow silt loam, and from poorly drained to well drained. The historic vegetation of the Forest Transition was primarily northern hardwood forest. These northern hardwoods were dominated by sugar maple and hemlock, and contained some yellow birch, red pine and white pine. Currently, over 60% of this Ecological Landscape is non-forested. Forested areas consist primarily of northern hardwoods and aspen, with smaller amounts of oak and lowland hardwoods. The eastern portion of the Ecological Landscape differs from the rest of the area in that it remains primarily forested, and includes some ecologically significant areas. Throughout the Ecological Landscape, small areas of conifer swamp are found near the headwaters of streams, and associated with lakes in kettle depressions on moraines. Ground flora show characteristics of both northern and southern Wisconsin, as this Ecological Landscape lies along the Tension Zone.

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.

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.

The purpose is to document cover of CLP (June) and all other plant species (August). Surveys will follow the standard DNR PI sampling methods. 2) The LWA APM committee will hold 2 meeting to learn about the current aquatic plant community and management strategies. Pertinent municipalities and Domtar representatives will be invited to the meetings. 3) A DNR approved aquatic plant management plan will be developed including hardcopy and electronic formats with GIS shapefiles of proposed harvesting areas.

Special conditions: The Lake Wausau Aquatic Plant report will be shared with stakeholder communities (City of Wausau, Schofield, Village of Rothschild, Town of Rib Mountain and Marathon County) and Lake Wausau Association at a biannual meeting. The plan will be available on the Lake Wausau Association website and results will be shared in quarterly newsletter and Facebook.

Monitor or Propose 303(d) Listing
Big Eau Pleine TMDL
Date
Status
The Big Eau Pleine Flowage is listed on the Federal 303 (d) list for violations of the state dissolved oxygen and pH water quality standards. The Big Eau Pleine River is also on the list for dissolved oxygen levels below the water quality standard. Both listings are a result of excessive nutrient loading, primarily phosphorus, to the river and flowage.

Mosinee Flowage WatershedWatershed History Note

Rib Mountain State Park, located in Marathon County, in the Mosinee Flowage watershed, began in 1924 when the Wausau Kiwanis Club donated a few acres of land to the State. The State subsequently acquired another 120 acres. In 1936, the State dedicated a portion of the Park for the creation of the ski area. The Kiwanis Club raised funds for the purchase of an additional 40 acres for the ski area in 1937 and, in 1941, the Wausau Chamber of Commerce procured another 40 acres for expansion of the ski area to the west. The ski area was created largely through the efforts of residents of the City of Wausau, then a thriving town of 25,000 people four and one-half miles from the ski area. The runs were built by hand by teams of workers standing almost shoulder to shoulder as they cut the trees, removed stumps and brush, and crushed the boulders with sledge hammers. When the ski area opened on the slopes of Rib Mountain in 1937, it was one of the first ski areas in North America. Stowe in Vermont had opened a few years earlier in 1934. Sun Valley in Idaho had become the nation’s first ski area in the western states in 1936. The ski area opened with six runs, a half-mile long t-bar powered by an 85 horsepower Ford V-8 motor with a standard truck transmission and a 20’ by 60’ temporary base chalet. A road was built to the base of the ski area and a parking lot cleared for 300 cars. At the time, the new ski lift at Rib Mountain was the longest ski tow in the country. The historic stone 10th Mountain Chalet was built a few years later in 1939 with funds raised by the Marathon Civic Corporation, an organization formed by the Chamber of Commerce for that purpose
