Watershed - Beaver Brook (SC07)
Beaver Brook Watershed

Details

The Beaver Brook watershed is relatively small at 44,483 acres and is located in southeastern Polk County extending into a portion of Barron County. It consists of 75 miles of streams and rivers, 1,801 acres of lakes and 5,965 acres of wetlands. The watershed is dominated by forest (31%), agriculture (26%) and grassland (22%) and is ranked high for nonpoint source issues affecting streams and medium for nonpoint source issues affecting lakes and groundwater. Beaver Brook is a tributary to the Apple River below the Apple River Flowage. Streams in this watershed are impacted by agricultural land uses and may respond to nonpoint source pollution controls.

Ecological Landscapes for Beaver Brook Watershed

Ecological Landscapes

The Beaver Brook Watershed is located primarily in the Forest Transition Ecological Landscape which 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.

TMDL Development
Halfmoon Lake TMDL
Date
Status
Half Moon Lake (Hydrologic Unit Code 070500006) is a small, shallow eutrophic lake that formed as an oxbow of the Chippewa River. The lake is geographically located within the City of Eau Claire and the Lower Chippewa River Basin. The lake is highly eutrophic and exhibits excessive algae and aquatic macrophyte growth (Borman, 1990; Brakke, 1995; Konkel and Borman, 1996; James et. al., 2001, 2002).

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.

Beaver Brook WatershedWatershed History Note

The Village of Clayton is located in the Beaver Brook Watershed in Polk County. Like most communities in Northwestern Wisconsin, it was loggers that first settled in Clayton. They found the greatest stand of White Pine trees in the world waiting to be harvested. In 1874 the railroad arrived, making its way northward through many logging camps. The end of the line was at a large sawmill, located at what is now called Lake Camelia on the western edge of the Village of Clayton. The lumber company, Humbird and Rogers, operated the mill and owned most of the land surrounding Clayton. Clayton Rogers ran the mill and was a veteran of the Union Army in the War Between the States. He was an officer of the 6th Wisconsin, which was one of the divisions of the famous "Iron Brigade." He was in many battles including the Battle of Gettysburg. On the first day of battle his delaying action against the confederate forces enabled the Union Army of the Potomac to march to Gettysburg and participate in the battle. In recognition of Clayton Rogers' great accomplishments, the village was given his first name. Following the lumbering era, Scandinavian, German and Russian families settled the area and eventually went into dairy farming. The area became known for many small creameries and cheese factories, which served the area and at one point the village was promoted as "The Blue Cheese Capital of the World."
