Watershed - Walla Walla and Alder Creeks (WR03)
Walla Walla and Alder Creeks Watershed

Details

The Walla Walla and Alder Creek Watershed (locally known as Walla Walla Creek Watershed) lies in portions of Waupaca, Waushara and Winnebago Counties on the northwest shore of Lake Poygan. Those portions of the watershed within Winnebago County are in the Lower Fox River Designated Planning Area. The Winnebago Comprehensive Management Plan rated this watershed a high priority due to critical animal waste problems and soil loss. The Wolf River Basin Plan data indicates polluted runoff problems with excess vegetation and habitat deterioration. Approximately 20 percent of the watershed (in the western part) is highly susceptible to groundwater contamination (WDNR and WGNHS, 1987).

Nonpoint and Point Sources

The Village of Fremont is the only point source discharger in the Walla Walla and Alder Creek Watershed. The 97 square-mile watershed is ranked number one in the Waupaca County Animal Waste Management Plan for concerns over both surface and groundwater. A substantial number of medium to high priority barnyard/feedlot operations exist in the Waushara County portion, with many of these draining directly into Lake Poygan via man-made ditches. In the Winnebago County portion, three barnyard/feedlot operations were ranked as critical polluted runoff pollution hazards, one was ranked as high priority; three as medium priority. Average soil erosion rates are 3.1 tons per acre per year in Waupaca County, 3.5 tons per acre per year in Waushara County, and 2.0-3.0 tons per acre per year in Winnebago County. This watershed drains directly to Lake Poygan and is likely to affect lake water quality during storms.

Ecological Landscapes for Walla Walla and Alder Creeks Watershed

Ecological Landscapes

The Walla Walla and Alder Creeks Watershed is located primarily in the Southeast Glacial Plains Ecological Landscape which 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.

Town Of Wolf River: Town Of Wolf River Page'S Slough Ais Control Project: UPDATED SCOPE: The Town of Wolf River, on behalf of the Lake Poygan Sportsmen\2019s Club, proposes to control curly-leaf pondweed (CLP) and Eurasian water-milfoil (EWM) through chemical treatment and preventative measures in Page\2019s Slough during the period 2007 - 2010. The project elements and deliverables are specified in the Town of Wolf River\2019s Aquatic Invasive Species Control Grant Application, dated August 1, 2006. The project includes conducting annual pre-treatment point-intercept aquatic plant surveys and post-treatment surveys to monitor the extent of CLP and EWM and efficacy of the previous year\2019s treatment; treating CLP and EWM infested areas with aquatic herbicides; planting wild rice along the cattail fringe in the northern half of the slough; conducting education and prevention activities to prevent re-infestation, including placing signage at the carp barrier and nearby boat landings. Annual progress reports and a final report summarizing the three-year project will be provided to DNR.

If consultant is to provide the final report, it is recommended that 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 will be provided both paper and electronic .pdf copies of the final report along with, or prior to, submission of grantee\2019s final payment request. If watercraft inspection is conducted as part of the project then those records will be entered into the State\2019s online Watercraft Inspection Database. Any publications produced as part of the project will incorporate the \201CStop Aquatic Hitchhikers!\201D\2122 brand.

Wolf River Preservation Association: Wolf River Water Clarity Study Phase 3: The Wolf River Preservation Association proposes to examine differences in percent contribution of algae, detritus, and sediment to total suspended solids concentration by mass during different months; and study the relationship between diurnal fluctuations in tirbidity and motorboat use levels and differences in motorboat impacts on turbidity by time of year. This project is the 3rd phase of studies which includes 3 lakes and the main stem of the Wolf River. Data from this study will be used to develop future recommendations for improving water clarity in Partridge Lake, Partridge Crop Lake, Cincoe Lake and the Wolf River. If a relationship is found between motorboat use and turbidity levels, management prescrpitions aimed at reducing the impact will be developed. The DNR will be provided with both a paper copy and an electronic copy of the final report. The results of the study will be disseminated locally and to local and state government via community meetings and a written report.

Walla Walla and Alder Creeks WatershedWatershed History Note

The Town of Fremont in Waupaca County, in the Walla Walla and Alder Creeks Watershed, was first settled in the spring of 1849. The first paper published was the Fremont Pioneer in 1857 and the first church was built in 1873. The Village of Fremont was organized in 1888. The Wolf River flows through the middle of the village and Partridge Lake is just upriver. A spawning "run" of white bass, or sand bass (Morone chrysops), also known as "stripers", occurs twice a year - in the spring around Mothers Day and in late September/early October. Lake Sturgeon from Lake Winnebago travel upriver to the Fremont area in spring to spawn. Fremont is known as the White Bass Capital of the World.
