Price County: Lmi-Phase Ii Butternut Wq Assessment/Modeling: The Price County Land Conservation Dept will sponsor a project which will collect all needed data to create a response model for Butternut Lake including a water budget, detailed phosphorus budget, lake water quality modeling and evaluation of groundwater impacts. Deliverables will include all data collected and a final report summarizing the findings.

DNR will be provided with a copy of reports and publications produced in both written and electronic (PDF) format. DNR will also be provided with a summary of all the efforts under this grant that are not included in reports or other written documents.

Price County: Acq-Price County-Smith Lake Land Acquisition: Price County will acquire 93.5 acres of land with 6,800 feet of undeveloped frontage on Smith Lake, a flowage of the Flambeau River.

Price County: Internal Loading Assessment - Butternut Lake: This project will examine the internal phosphorus flux from sediments in Butternut Lake. This information will be used in future modeling efforts.

Project Deliverables:
1. Data on the internal phosphorus flux from sediments in Butternut Lake
2. A summary report of findings.

The grantee will provide the Department of Natural Resources with two (2) copies of the summary report along with an electronic version of the final report.

Price County: Paleoecological Analysis Of Butternut Lake: The Price County Land Conservation Department will sponsor a project involving the collection of a sediment core from a deep area in Butternut Lake's main basin, by Paul Garrison - Wisconsin DNR Research and USGS. This grant pays for the collection and analysis of the core. It is cost shared with the USGS which will take the report written by WDNR and incorporate the results into a final USGS report, on Butternut Lake done under planning grant LPT198.

Goals:
1. Determine fluctuations in lake water quality since the onset of European settlement.
2. Determine changes in deposition rates of various constituents in the sediment core that reflect changes in Butternut Lake's watershed loading to the lake.
3. Evaluate the inferred long-term water quality fluctuations in relation to recent and current lake water quality and current phosphorus loading to the lake.

Products
1. Core collected.
2. Core analyzed by WDNR and other labs.
3. Report by WDNR on the result of Core analysis.
4. Report by USGS fit into LPT 198 Final Report.

Price County: Weger Streambank Protection, Elk River: Price County is sponsoring a project to restore 250 feet of shoreline habitat along the Elk River. There is an unstable 25 foot face that is actively eroding and needs to be stabilized. Fish, wildlife habitat and water quality will be improved.

Project goals: 1) Reduce sediment and nutrient delivery; 2) Reduce instream sedimentation to improve fish spawning habitat; 3) Restore shore land habitat for wildlife; 4) Improve water quality; 5) Protect existing resources.

Project deliverables is a final report that includes: 1) Documentation that the project was completed; 2) Copies of final engineering plans; 3) Before and after photo documentation.

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.
