Watershed - Lower North Branch Oconto River (GB05)
Lower North Branch Oconto River Watershed

Details

The Lower North Branch Oconto River Watershed lies in central Oconto County. Small portions of the watershed extend into west central Marinette County, southern Forest County, northeastern Langlade County and northeastern Menominee County. There are many small, unclassified streams in this watershed. Wetlands are abundant in the southeastern portion of the watershed around Peshtigo Brook. Point sources discharging in this watershed include Wabeno Sanitary District No.1, DNR's Lakewood Fish Hatchery, and Nicolet Forest Bottling Company.

Ecological Landscapes for Lower North Branch Oconto River Watershed

Ecological Landscapes

The Lower Branch Oconto River Watershed is located in three ecological landscapes, from northwest to southeast: the North Central Forest, the Forest Transition and the Northeast Sands. The North Central Forest Ecological Landscape occupies much of the northern third of Wisconsin. Its landforms are characterized by end and ground moraines with some pitted outwash and bedrock controlled areas. Kettle depressions and steep ridges are found in the northern portion. Two prominent areas in this Ecological Landscape are the Penokee-Gogebic Iron Range in the north extending into Michigan, and Timm's Hill, the highest point in Wisconsin (1,951 feet) in the south. Soils consist of sandy loam, sand, and silts. The vegetation is mainly forest, with many wetlands and some agriculture, though the growing season is not as favorable as it is in southern Wisconsin. Lake Superior greatly influences the northern portion of the Ecological Landscape especially during the winter season, producing greater snowfall than in most areas in Wisconsin. The historic vegetation was primarily hemlock-hardwood forest dominated by hemlock, sugar maple, and yellow birch. There were some smaller areas of white and red pine forest scattered throughout the Ecological Landscape, and individual white pines trees were a component of the hemlock-hardwood forest. Harvesting hemlock to support the tanneries was common at the turn of the century, and the species soon became a minor component of forests due to over-harvesting and lack of regeneration. Currently, forests cover approximately 80% of this Ecological Landscape. The northern hardwood forest is dominant, made up of sugar maple, basswood, and red maple, and also including some scattered hemlock and white pine pockets within stands. The aspen-birch forest type group is also relatively abundant, followed by spruce-fir. A variety of wetland community types also are present, both forested and non-forested. 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. The Northeast Sands Ecological Landscape occupies a relatively narrow, vertical band of land in northeast Wisconsin. This landscape formed in glacial outwash sand plains (some of them pitted), and has steep outcropping Precambrian bedrock knolls of basalt, rhyolite, or granite. Sandy ground moraines and end moraines are also interspersed in the landscape. Historically, extensive oak/jack pine barrens and jack pine forests were found in the outwash sand portions of this Ecological Landscape. Moraines supported forests of hardwoods, red pine, and white pine. Outwash plains often contained pitted depressions, resulting in numerous wetlands and kettle lakes. Most of this Ecological Landscape is still forested; aspen predominates, followed by northern hardwoods. Jack pine remains on the outwash plains along with northern pin oak. There are several important occurrences of jack pine/oak barren communities. A small percentage of this Ecological Landscape contains spruce-fir-cedar forest and lowland hardwood forest. The Brazeau Swamp is one of the best representations of large cedar swamp forests in northern Wisconsin.

The goal of the management plan would be to protect and enhance the lake and its watershed in an effort to maintain or improve the trophic status of the lake. An important aspect of the project will be educating the people who live around and use the lake. The project will also include assessing the watershed land use and using the WILMS model and other information to partition watershed phosphorus loading. A GIS map will be generated to show various land uses and environmentally sensitive areas. Water quality information will be gathered to develop TSI values along with being used with the Wisconsin Internal Load Estimator and WILMS to determine internal loading estimates and help determine response and sensitivity to watershed phosphorus loadings. An aquatic plant survey will be done and the commuinty will be mapped transferred onto a digital map with lake depth contours. Also sensitive areas of particular importance would be identified. The project deliverables would be a single report (for Bear and Munger Lakes) and management plan presenting the results of the project tasks along with management, protection and enhancement alternatives and recommendations along with public educaton issues and possible opportunities for shoreland buffer restorations. An implementation schedule would also be included for each of the lakes's specific needs. Recommendations for remedial actions and further study options(if needed) would be included for the lake and its drainage basin including possible funding sources.

The goal of the management plan would be to protect and enhance the lake and its watershed in an effort to maintain or improve the trophic status of the lake. An important aspect of the project will be educating the people who live around and use the lake. The project will also include assessing the watershed land use and using the WILMS model and other information to partition watershed phosphorus loading. A GIS map will be generated to show various land uses and environmentally sensitive areas. Water quality information will be gathered to develop TSI values along with being used with the Wisconsin Internal Load Estimator and WILMS to determine internal loading estimates and help determine response and sensitivity to watershed phosphorus loadings. An aquatic plant survey will be done and the commuinty will be mapped transferred onto a digital map with lake depth contours. Also sensitive areas of particular importance would be identified. The project deliverables would be a single report (for Bear and Munger Lakes) and management plan presenting the results of the project tasks along with management, protection and enhancement alternatives and recommendations along with public educaton issues and possible opportunities for shoreland buffer restorations. An implementation schedule would also be included for each of the lakes's specific needs. Recommendations for remedial actions and further study options(if needed) would be included for the lake and its drainage basin including possible funding sources.

Trout Unlimited-Wild River Chapter: Spencer Creek - Reconnecting Coldwater Habitat: Wild Rivers Trout Unlimited will be sponsoring a restoration project on Spencer Creek, Forest County, WI. The project will replace an undersized culvert that is restricting flow and, is creating sediment deposition upstream from the culvert and scouring downstream from the culvert. The perched culvert is also impeding fish passage. Replacement of this barrier will reconnect 5 miles of Spencer Creek to the Rat River system and 1.56 miles of Swan Creek.

Project goals: Restore the instream habitat and aquatic connectivity of Spencer Creek. Additional expected project accomplishments include: elimination of impounding conditions upstream from Flanner Road; restoration of natural stream velocities both up and downstream of the road crossing; restoration of trout and other aquatic organism movement throughout the entirety of Spencer Creek and in and out of the Rat River, allowing natural movements to complete life history stages, increase coldwater refuge areas during warm water periods in the Rat River and, increase genetic diversity among the trout population in the entire system; reconnecting 5 miles of Spencer Creek; reconnecting use of 1.56 miles of Swan Creek.

Project deliverables: A post construction report describing monitoring conducted to document changes in velocity, water depth, silt depth, substrate type, invertebrate abundance and a mark and recapture study to ensure that fish are moving through the newly installed culvert. Temp thermistors will also be deployed to document any changes in upstream water temperatures.

Specific conditions for this Project: The WDNR will be provided electronic and hard copies of all data and or reports/plans generated as a result of this project.

The proposed study will aid in resolving questions of lake hydrology and nutrient fluxes to the lake. This information will be used to eventually develop a comprehensive lake management plan. The Archibald Lake Assn proposes to conduct a project that will include additional water chemistry studies for the east and west basins and the inlet creek. Instream flow will be measured of the small inlet stream where it enters the lake. Groundwater level monitoring will be measured by installing sand points in eight new locations around the lake to determine where groundwater is entering the lake. Water quality parmaeters such as conductivity will be measured along the shoreline to determine where spring ares may be contributing groundwater to the lake.

Lower North Branch Oconto River WatershedWatershed History Note

The Town of Wabeno is located in the watershed of the Lower North Branch of the Oconto River. On June 2, 1880, a tornado swept across northern Wisconsin from Antigo to Lake Superior, causing timber to blow down in a strip that measured ½ to 1 mile wide. The Indians called this area "Waubeno", which means "the coming of the winds" or "the opening." The town took its name from this event. The early history of Wabeno centers around the development of three lumber companies-the Menominee Bay Shore Lumber Company, A.E. Rusch Company, and the Jones Lumber Company. In the late 1800's the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad pushed into the area. Sawmills were soon built along the tracks and towns grew up around the mills. In 1905 there were five sawmills - together they produced 35 million feet of lumber a year. All but the Menominee Bay Shore mill shut down between 1920 and 1930. In 1936, it too, was forced to close its doors. The cutover and burned lands were sold to prospective farmers and farming is still prevalent in the region, but never to the extent envisioned, due to the short northern growing season. Wabeno has one of the few remaining steam powered logging haulers still operational in the nation. It is one of 200 such machines built in the early 1900s by Phoenix Manufacturing Company. It was owned by the Jones Lumber Company and used at their mill from 1909 until 1935. It was brought by the town in 1944 and restored to life in 1965. Wabeno Public Library is housed in one of the first buildings built in the town. It was built by the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Company for use as a land office in 1897. It was purchased by the town in 1923 and is one of the quaintest and most charming log libraries in the state.
