Watershed - Upper Little Wolf River (WR07)
Upper Little Wolf River Watershed

Details

The Upper Little Wolf River watershed is in Marathon, Portage, Shawano and Waupaca Counties and is 171 square miles. This watershed includes 61 miles of the Little Wolf River and its tributaries above the Big Falls Dam. The Winnebago Comprehensive Management Plan lists the Upper Little Wolf River watershed as a "medium" priority for watershed selection due to local significant animal waste problems and a soil erosion rate of 2.2 tons per acre per year. Data for the Wolf River Basin indicates that habitat deterioration occurs from streambank pasturing and cropland runoff. The soils, geology and other physical resources of the entire watershed indicate it is highly susceptible to groundwater contamination by poor land use practices (WDNR and WGNHS, 1987).

Ecological Landscapes for Upper Little Wolf River Watershed

Ecological Landscapes

The Upper Little Wolf River 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.

Portage County Lcd: Portage County Lcd-Connecting People To Their Lakes Thru Data Collection: The Portage County land and Water Conservation Department is sponsoring a project for several lakes in Portage County to address dissolved oxygen in lakes with historic fish kills using citizen based monitoring.

Project final deliverables include: all data collected, calibration records, volunteer lists, agendas and minutes for training sessions, and a final report that includes results from surveys and success of control efforts.

Specific project activities include: 1) Outreach and education related to lake water quality; 2) Use DO monitoring in oxygen sensitive lakes with citizens to capture data for DNR and PLWCD; 3) use the opportunity to increase I&E amongst lake enthusiasts.

Special Conditions: 1) All data shall be entered into the SWIMS database; 2) All data will be collected with Department approved protocols; 3) Keep log of data and calibration of equipment and trainings.

This scope summarizes the project provides detailed dissolved oxygen levels on lakes that have had historic fish kills by using a citizen-based monitoring approach which will also build lake water quality awareness to riparian owners. Details provided in the application and does not negate tasks/deliverables described therein. Data, records, and reports, including GIS-based maps, and digital images, must be submitted to the Department in a format specified by the regional Lake Biologist.

If consultant is to provide final report, it is recommended that Grantee provide DNR Lake 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.
