Watershed - Lower Apple River (SC04)
Lower Apple River Watershed

Details

The Lower Apple River watershed lies in south central Polk County and extends into northern St. Croix County. The area contains the drainage to the Apple River below the Apple River Flowage dam in Amery. The Polk County portion of this watershed contains 33 lakes. The watershed is 129,385 acres in size and consists of 152 miles of streams and rivers, 4,392 acres of lakes and 9,095 acres of wetlands. The watershed is dominated by agriculture (31%) and grassland (31%), and is ranked high for nonpoint source issues affecting streams and groundwater.

Ecological Landscapes for Lower Apple River Watershed

Ecological Landscapes

The Lower Apple River Watershed is located in two ecological landscapes: the Forest Transition and the Western Prairie. 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. This Western Prairie Ecological Landscape is located on the far western edge of the state just south of the Tension Zone; it contains the only true representative prairie potholes in the state. It is characterized by its glaciated, rolling topography and a primarily open landscape with rich prairie soils and pothole lakes, ponds, and wet depressions, except for forested areas along the St. Croix River. The climate and growing season are favorable for agricultural crops. Sandstone underlies a mosaic of soils. Silty loams that can be shallow and stony cover most of the area. Alluvial sands and peats are found in stream valleys. Historic vegetation was comprised of dry to mesic prairie grasses in the rolling areas and wet prairies in the broad depressions. Open oak savannas and barrens were found on the hilly topography, with small inclusions of sugar maple-basswood forest in small steep sites. Prairie pothole type wetlands were mainly found in St. Croix and Polk counties. Barrens were found along the river terraces of the St. Croix River. Almost half of the current vegetation is agricultural crops and almost a third of the area is grasslands, with smaller areas of open water, open wetlands, and urban areas. The major forest types are maple-basswood and oak-hickory, with smaller amounts of lowland hardwoods and lowland conifer.

Lower Apple River Watershed At-a-Glance

Impaired Water in Lower Apple River Watershed
River and Stream QualityAll Waters in Watershed

This watershed is considered a high priority for protection fi-om nonpoint source pollution. The Apple River is heavily used for full-body contact recreation. Water quality and aquatic habitat in the stream of this watershed are impacted by nonpoint source pollution from agricultural land use and rural residential development. Twelve of the lakes in this watershed are identified as winterkill situations. These lakes should be considered as primarily wildlife waters. Fishery and water quality recreational values are limited in these lakes. The Polk County "Surface Water Resources" inventory publication was one of the first to be completed in Wisconsin (1961). This pioneering effort thus lacked some of the thoroughness of the later county inventories. Seven of the Polk County lakes in this watershed lack even basic information for preliminary classification. These lakes should receive high priority for basic inventory monitoring. Two lakes in the watershed have been sampled for fish tissue contamination by mercury (Big & Sand Lakes) with no advisory level problem noted. Three other lakes have been identified as high priority for fish tissue monitoring and an additional four designated as medium level priority.

TMDL Development
Cedar Lake TMDL
Date
Status
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) developed a TMDL for phosphorus for Cedar Lake. The TMDL addresses the nutrient impacts and impairments which were identified on the Wisconsin 2002 303(d) list. The Lake is nutrient (phosphorus (P)) impaired as a result of agriculture, internal loading and local land use. Water quality in Cedar Lake is generally poor to very poor, falling into the eutrophic to hypereutrophic category. Summer algal blooms result in foul odors and an unsightly build-up of algae biomass on the shoreline. In addition, trophic conditions in the lake limit rooting depth for emergent vegetation used by the resident fish populations. As a result, these impairments impact the recreational/aesthetic value of the lake and stress sport fish populations.

Lower Apple River WatershedWatershed History Note

The Village and Town of Somerset are located within the Lower Apple Watershed. The glaciers that sculpted these areas left deposits of sand and gravel called glacial moraines. The layers of sandstone covered by the glaciers can be seen in the cliffs along the Apple River. There are two versions on how the Apple River was named. In 1850, brothers Joseph and Louis Parent, from French-speaking Canada, came up the St. Croix looking for a good place to homestead. They settled on the bluffs above the mouth of the Apple River. They found that potatoes grew well here and named the spot "La Pointe de la Pomme de Terre"; "Pointe" for the river junction and "Pomme de Terre" (apples of the earth) for the potatoes. Many of their family and neighbors soon followed from Canada, settling on both the north and south sides of the Apple River. Another version says that it is from the Ojibwe language. In the Ojibwe language, the Apple River is called Waabizipinikaan-ziibi, meaning "River Abundant with Swan Potatoes". A swan potato is an aquatic plant of the genus Sagittaria. Several species bear edible starchy roots. The name was translated into French, but only pomme (apple) of the French word for "potato" (pomme de terre - apple from the earth) was translated into English. In 1856, Samuel and Hud Harriman, brothers born in Maine of English parents, came to the Apple River in 1856 to found a mill, store and logging empire. The area closest to the St. Croix River was already settled. They ventured upstream locating their dam for a mill where Main Street crosses the Apple River today. They also built a general store and platted streets and lots for a village they named Somerset. It is thought Somerset was named for their father's birthplace, Somerset County, England. Sam served as a general in the Civil War from 1862 to 1865. He was also instrumental in bringing the railroad through the county and into northwestern Wisconsin. The Apple River was once an important route of trade for the logging industry; timber was floated downstream from logging camps in the north to a sawmill in Amery, Wisconsin where it was cut, loaded onto trains and transported throughout the region. Today, the river generates tourism revenue through recreation and resorts. Its relatively gentle rapids make it very popular for canoeing, tubing, camping, concerts, and is a popular fishing spot through all seasons.
