Fox River Watershed

Details

The Fox River Watershed is located primarily in Winnebago County but extends west to Green Lake County and south to Fond du Lac County. The watershed is 76,643 acres in size and contains 236 miles of streams and rivers, 3102 acres of lakes and 13,826 acres of wetlands. The watershed is dominated by agriculture (66%) and wetlands (18%) and is ranked high for nonpoint source issues affecting streams, lakes and groundwater.

Ecological Landscapes for Fox River Watershed

Ecological Landscapes

The Southeast Glacial Plains Ecological Landscape makes up the bulk of the non-coastal land area in southeast Wisconsin. This Ecological Landscape is made up of glacial till plains and moraines. Most of this Ecological Landscape is composed of glacial materials deposited during the Wisconsin Ice Age, but the southwest portion consists of older, pre-Wisconsin till with a more dissected topography. Soils are lime-rich tills overlain in most areas by a silt-loam loess cap. Agricultural and residential interests throughout the landscape have significantly altered the historical vegetation. Most of the rare natural communities that remain are associated with large moraines or in areas where the Niagara Escarpment occurs close to the surface. Historically, vegetation in the Southeast Glacial Plains consisted of a mix of prairie, oak forests and savanna, and maple-basswood forests. Wet-mesic prairies, southern sedge meadows, emergent marshes, and calcareous fens were found in lower portions of the Landscape. End moraines and drumlins supported savannas and forests. Agricultural and urban land use practices have drastically changed the land cover of the Southeast Glacial Plains since Euro-American settlement. The current vegetation is primarily agricultural cropland. Remaining forests occupy only about 10% of the land area and consist of maple-basswood, lowland hardwoods, and oak. No large mesic forests exist today except on the Kettle Interlobate Moraine which has topography too rugged for agriculture. Some existing forest patches that were formerly savannas have succeeded to hardwood forest due to fire suppression.

Winnebago County: Winnebago Pool Lks Education, Prevention & Planning Project: Winnebago County proposes to develop a comprehensive plan for preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS) into and from the Winnebago Pool (Lakes Winnebago, Butte des Morts, Winneconne and Poygan) during the period 2006 - 2007. The project elements and deliverables are specified in Winnebago County's Aquatic Invasive Species Grant application, dated January 26, 2006. The project includes initiating the first phase of a two-phase strategic planning process to produce a Strategic Plan for AIS prevention in the Winnebago Pool Lakes; implementing the "Clean Boats, Clean Waters" and citizen-based monitoring programs, including hiring 4 watercraft inspectors and training volunteers to conduct watercraft inspection and AIS monitoring; conducting scientific analyses of current AIS infestations and a risk assessment for potential invasive species; and conducting outreach activities, including collaborating with the Teacher Summer Institutes at UW-Oshkosh, and creating a poster and PowerPoint presentation on AIS in the Winnebago Pool. Watercraft inspection records will be entered into the State's online Watercraft Inspection Database. Annual progress reports and a final report summarizing the five-year project will be provided to DNR.

If consultant is to provide the final report, it is recommended the Grantee provide the DNR Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator with a draft for comment on report adequacy prior to making final payment to the consultant. DNR to receive both paper and electronic .pdf copies of the final report along with, or prior to, submission of grantee's final payment request.

Nearly 1,200 feet of rock structure will be installed along the windward edges of the islands with extending wings to enhance the aquatic plant community of emergents, floating leaf and submergent plants.

These benefits are expected to occur:

1) Improved water quality , especially clarity in the area adjacent to the structure.
2) Greater areal coverage of aquatic plant growth and the habitat benefits for fish.
3) Enhanced wildlife benefits for waterfowl and shorebirds, reptiles and amphibians.
4) Reduced island erosion.

The Butte des Morts Conservation Club is in partnership with Winnebago County and the DNR on the project. The projected costs are $65,680.

The DNR will be provided with both a paper copy and an electronic copy of the final report. Information will be disseminated to the public as described in the grant application.

Little Green Lake P & R District: Res-Little Green Lake Destratification Project: The Little Green Lake Protection & Rehabilitation District proposes to install a circulation system consisting of compressors, air delivery lines, filter system, and a housing structure. The circulation system is designed to ensure sufficient oxygen concentrations in the deep-water areas of the lake. Oxygen in deep-water areas of the lake will reduce the release of phosphorous from the lake sediment and decrease the level of lake fertilization. This will result in improved water clarity and algae conditions thereby improving water quality conditions for recreation and aesthetics.

Local resources to be provided include volunteer services during installatiotn, volunteer services regarding project management, and financial contribution from Green Lake County.

The project deliverables will include design and installation of a system of compressors and airline sufficient to circulate lake water in the deepest portions of the lake generally greater than 15 feet; report of evaluation monitoring of lake nutrient and mixing conditions after the system becomes operational; and, conduct pre and post operation public informational meetings and prepare fact sheets (current lake conditions, descriptions of circ system, goals/benefits/ecological effects).

Fox River WatershedWatershed History Note

The City of Omro is situated along the banks of the Fox River in Winnebago County. The area was once home to the Winnebago Indians. The first Europeans to reach the area were the French explorers in the 1600's. Eventually a fur-trading post was set up, and an early blacksmith and trader by the name of Charles Omereau, gave his name to the city. Omro's location on the river provided a means of transportation and communication both upstream and downstream, as well as an abundant water source for industrial use. The town's growth was strong in the mid-1800's with the arrival of the railroad, several mills, a glass factory, a carriage factory and two thousand citizens. Omro continues to celebrate its place in American history through the historic designation of its downtown district, historic walking tours and one of the largest Fourth of July parades in the state.
