Watershed - Shawano Lake (WR15)
Shawano Lake Watershed

Details

The Shawano Lake Watershed covers 62 square miles in Shawano and Menominee Counties. A majority of the planning area is contained within this watershed with the 6,178-acre Shawano Lake as the main water resource. Shawano Lake is a hardwater drainage lake up to 40 feet deep and is an important year round recreational waterbody. This lake experiences excessive weed growth during July and August, which is likely associated with non-point source pollution (i.e., phosphorus from lawn fertilizers, etc.). Other small lakes included in this watershed are Loon Lake, Washington Lake, Lulu Lake, White Clay Lake and Lily Lake. Rivers and streams associated with this subwatershed include the Shawano Lake Outlet, Duchess Creek, Loon Creek, and Murray Creek. This watershed has been ranked as being a high priority for selection as a Priority Watershed Project.

Population, Land Use

The landscape in the watershed is covered by a relatively balanced mix of forests (30%), agriculture (29%), open water (16%), and wetlands (15%). Additionally, within the 71.2 square mile watershed, there are 76 miles of streams, 6,948 acres of wetlands, and 7,528 total lake acres. Municipalities in the watershed include the City of Shawano (partial) and the Village of Cecil. Cecil is the only point source discharger in the watershed.

Date  2010

Nonpoint and Point Sources

The watershed, which had been predominantly wooded, has been partially developed by the Shawano Industrial Park. This has caused problems with nonpoint pollution in the headwaters from street and parking lot runoff. The southern and east­ern portions of the watershed are primarily agricultural (accounting for approximately 10% of the watershed) and runoff from this area can have a negative impact on the water quality of the lakes. Municipalities in the watershed include the City of Shawano (partial) and the Village of Cecil. Cecil is the only point source discharger in the watershed.

Ecological Landscapes for Shawano Lake Watershed

Ecological Landscapes

The Shawano Lake Watershed lies in two ecological landscapes: the Northeast Sands and the Northern Lake Michigan Coastal. The Northeast Sands Ecological Landscape occupies a relatively narrow, vertical band of land in northeast Wisconsin. This landscape formed in glacial outwash sand plains (some of them pitted), and has steep outcropping Precambrian bedrock knolls of basalt, rhyolite, or granite. Sandy ground moraines and end moraines are also interspersed in the landscape. Historically, extensive oak/jack pine barrens and jack pine forests were found in the outwash sand portions of this Ecological Landscape. Moraines supported forests of hardwoods, red pine, and white pine. Outwash plains often contained pitted depressions, resulting in numerous wetlands and kettle lakes. Most of this Ecological Landscape is still forested; aspen predominates, followed by northern hardwoods. Jack pine remains on the outwash plains along with northern pin oak. There are several important occurrences of jack pine/oak barren communities. A small percentage of this Ecological Landscape contains spruce-fir-cedar forest and lowland hardwood forest. The Brazeau Swamp is one of the best representations of large cedar swamp forests in northern Wisconsin. The Northern Lake Michigan Coastal Ecological Landscape is located in northeastern Wisconsin, and includes Green Bay and the northern part of the Door Peninsula. Its landforms consist of the Niagara escarpment, a prominent dolomite outcropping along the east side of Green Bay, a lacustrine plain along the west side of Green Bay, and ground moraine elsewhere. Low sand dunes and beach ridges that support Great Lakes endemics and many other rare species are found along the Great Lakes shoreline. The influence of Lake Michigan moderates extreme temperatures. Soils are very diverse; in some areas, lacustrine sands are found overlying clays or bedrock within only a few feet of the surface. In the Door Peninsula, soils are typically stony loamy sands to loams. Poorly drained sands are common in the lake plain or in depressions between dunes and beach ridges. On the western side of Green Bay, the ground moraine is composed mostly of moderately well drained, rocky sandy loams, interspersed with lacustrine sands and clays, and peat and muck also common. Historic vegetation included maple-basswood-beech forest, hemlock-hardwood forest, northern white cedar swamp, hardwood-conifer swamp, wet meadows, and coastal marshes. Conifer dominated upland forests that resemble the boreal forest were present along Lake Michigan; they contain a significant component of white spruce and balsam fir. Cliffs, sinkholes, and dolomite ledges are associated with the Niagara Escarpment. Current vegetation consists of more than 60% non-forested land, most of which is in agricultural crops, with smaller amounts of grassland, wetland, shrubland, and urbanized areas. Forested lands are dominated by maple-basswood, with smaller amounts of lowland hardwoods, aspen-birch, and lowland conifers. High quality areas of exposed alkaline bedrock beach occur on the northern Door Peninsula, providing habitat for many rare plants. Several islands lie off the Door Peninsula and these also provide critical habitat for rare species and colonially nesting birds.

Hydrologic Features

The Shawano Lake Watershed’s dominant feature is Shawano Lake, which is intercon­nected to a series of inlet and outlet tributar­ies. The streams are differentiated by model results depicting flow and temperature, re­sulting in an estimate of 4.7 miles of coldwa­ter streams, 1.8 miles of cool (cold transition) headwaters, 14.7 miles of cool (warm transi­tion) headwaters, 2.48 miles of cool (warm transition) mainstem streams, 11.5 miles of macroinvertebrate streams, 4.2 miles of warm headwaters, 3 miles of Warm mainstem streams, and 30 miles where no classification is determined (likely due to the small size of the waters).

Impaired Water in Shawano Lake Watershed

Lakes and Impoundments

The main lakes in the watershed include: Shawano Lake, White Clay Lake and Washington Lake. These lakes are described below. Shawano Lake is heavily used year-round for recreation and is economically significant to Shawano County. In general, Shawano Lake has relatively good water quality for a shallow drainage lake. The lake tends to have enriched sediment and relatively shallow depths which results in good growing conditions and light penetration for aquatic plant growth in more than half of the lake. White Clay Lake is a 234-acre spring lake in Shawano County. This is one of the long term trend lakes and is monitored several times each year by the DNR. Citizen volunteers also monitor White Clay Lake. Previous studies have concluded that the lake water quality is impacted by nonpoint sources of pollution. There is no current management on White Clay Lake. Washington Lake is a 75-acre lake connected to Shawano Lake via a small channel. Maximum lake depth is 18 feet. The Washington Lake Management District is currently extensively managing Eurasian watermilfoil on an annual basis. Citizen volunteers monitor Washington Lake.

Date  2010

Wetland Health

Wetland Status The Shawano Lake Watershed exists within Shawano and Menominee Counties in the Wolf River Basin. An estimated 15% of the current land uses in the watershed are wetlands. Roughly, 70% of the original wetlands in the watershed are estimated to exist. Of these wetlands, forested wetlands (75%) and shrub wetlands (16%) dominate the landscape. Wetland Condition Little is known about the condition of the remaining wetlands but estimates of reed canary grass infestations, an opportunistic aquatic invasive wetland plant, into different wetland types has been estimated based on satellite imagery. This information shows that reed canary grass dominates 54% of the existing emergent wetlands, which includes wet meadows and marshes, and 36% of the remaining forested wetlands. Reed Canary Grass domination inhibits successful establishment of native wetland species. Wetland Restorability Of the 2,968 acres of estimated lost wetlands in the watershed, approximately 83% are considered potentially restorable based on modeled data, including soil types, land use and land cover (Chris Smith, DNR, 2009).

Date  2010

Impaired Waters

Shawano Lake is listed on Wisconsin’s Impaired Waters List as required by section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act. The pollutant of concern in Shawano Lake is mercury, which is causing contaminated fish tissue. Atmospheric deposi­tion is the primary means by which mercury is entering the lake.

Shawano County: Shawano Lake Leyogonimus Parasite Study: The Shawano County Land Conservation Department proposes to study the exotic trematode (flatworm) parasite 'Leyogonimus' polyoon and its effects on Shawano Lake ecology. This parasite is responsible for 1,441 dead American coot in 1996, and 11,808 in 1997 on Shawano Lake. Leyogonimus has not been reported before in any North American water birds, but has the potential to spread, infect and possibly kill many native North American waterfowl. Infected coot can carry and spread this parasite to other local, state, national and international water. This project will lead to significant information on identification and quantification of the parasite and its sources on Shawano Lake. It will also examine water quality and habitat factors associated with the parasite. The project will work cooperatively with local, regional, state, federal and international governments to gather significant information critical for management and implementation plans to rid/control the parasite on Shawano Lake. The DNR will be provided with two paper copies and an electronic copy of the final report. Information will be disseminated to local, regional, state, federal and international public via community meetings, newspapers, radio, Tv,presentations and a published report.

Loon Lake Management District: Loon Lake Apm & Water Quality Survey: The Loon Lake-Wescott Management District proposes to conduct a follow-up aquatic plant survey and continue water quality monitoring. The goals of the project include 1) evaluating the effectiveness of treatments in controlling Eurasian Watermilfoil, 2) to assess responses of the native plant community, 3) to assess responses of curly-leaf pondweed (Potamogeton crispus), 4) to evaluate water quality impacts. The strategies for achieving these goals will include 1) conducting an aquatic plant survey that reproduces methods of the 2002 survey, 2) statistical analysis of plant survey data,
3) identification, mapping and area determination for Eurasian Watermilfoil and curly-leaf pondweed,
4) analysis of water quality parameters. The results of this survey will be presented in a follow-up management report. This management report will be presented to the Loon Lake Wescott Management District and to the Department of Natural Resources, both in written form and in electronic form.

Lulu Lake District: Lulu Lake Management Project Phase 1: Lulu Lake Management District proposes to conduct an aquatic plant survey on Lulu Lake in the summer of 2002. The whole lake aquatic plant survey results will be used to document the current aquatic plant species, assign population ratios and prepare reference maps of the aquatic plant population. The distribution of Eurasian watermilfoil will be mapped. As a result of the aquatic plant survey, an aquatic plant management plan will be developed. A portion of this plan will contain methods of control and eradication of Eurasian watermilfoil.

The Department of Natural Resources will be provided with both a paper copy and electronic copy of the aquatic plant management survey and plan. The aquatic plant survey and management plan will also be disseminated to all lake residents via the Lulu Lake Management District newsletter.

Shawano Lake Watershed

Goals

3/10/2010
• Minimizing agricultural runoff from rural areas • Minimizing urban stormwater runoff • Protecting groundwater resources • Restoring key wetlands for water quality improvement and protection • Establishing riparian buffers to protect water quality • Monitoring and controlling non-native invasive species • Obtaining water quality and biological monitoring data to adequately assess water resource conditions • Increasing citizens’ watershed awareness, understanding and stewardship activities

Priorities

3/10/2010
Priority Management Actions and Issues: Extensive scientific studies needed to evaluate the hydrology and water quality entering and within Shawano Lake have been conducted recently as part of a cooperative effort between Shawano County, Shawano Area Waterways Management, Inc. (SAWM), the University of Wisconsin¨CStevens Point (UWSP) Center for Watershed Science and Education (CWSE), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE), the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), and the Fox Wolf Watershed Alliance (FWWA), Northern Environmental (Bonestroo), and the dedicated volunteers and citizens of the Shawano Lake area. The concerns of local citizens and SAWM members about excessive aquatic plants, blue©\green algae blooms, and reduced water clarity led to this study.
9/23/2010
Priority issues for this watershed also include the quantity and quality of agricultural runoff reaching surface waters and groundwater, and its impact on drinking water and surface water quality. The loss of wetlands and the need for riparian vegetation buffers, runoff from urban areas, and the lack of water quality and biological assessment data are also concerning priority issues.

Citizen-Based Stream Monitoring
 
Date
Status
Obtain water quality and biological monitoring data to adequately assess water resource conditions. Collect updated water quality data to assess the current overall lake health for all lakes in the watershed. These data could be collected by Citizen Lake Monitoring Network volunteers. Conduct assessment monitoring on streams in the watershed to further define nonpoint source pollution problems. Assessment monitoring should include fisheries and stream habitat surveys to help identify stream segments that are degraded because of the lack of adequate buffers and vegetative filter strips. This information will help guide Conservation Reserve Enhancement (CREP), Targeted Runoff Management (TRM), and other conservation funding programs to the areas of greatest need.

Shawano Lake WatershedWatershed History Note

The Shawano Lake Watershed is located in Menomonee and Shawano counties. The Menominee leader, Chief Sawanoh, once lived upon the banks of the lake. His band is said to be the first residents of this area, where they were able to harvest wild rice, fish for sturgeon and hunt game in the surrounding forests. Although the band travelled extensively, Shawano Lake was the band's traditional gathering area and favorite place to live. In 1854, a treaty was signed, and the Menominee relinquished all claims to the lands given to them under previous treaties. They were given 432 square miles on the Wolf River, and the band moved north near Keshena. In 1954, Congress passed a law which phased out the Menominee reservation, effectively terminating its tribal status on April 30, 1961. Commonly held tribal property was transferred to a corporation, Menominee Enterprises, Inc. (MEI). The area of the former reservation became a new county. The plan was a failure, resulting in diminished standards of living for the members of the tribe, and forcing the closure of the hospital and some schools. The tribal industry alone could not sustain the community, and the tax base could not fund basic services for the Menominee. A 1967 plan by MEI, to raise money by selling off former tribal lands to non-Native Americans, resulted in a fierce backlash. Community members began organizing a campaign to restore political sovereignty to the Menominee. Former tribe members formed a group called the Determination of Rights and Unity for Menominee Stockholders (DRUMS) in 1970. The organization was successful at blocking the sale of tribal land to non-Indian developers. They successfully fought for control of the MEI board of directors and lobbied Congress to restore their status as a federally recognized sovereign tribe. The lobbying was successful, resulting in a bill signed by Richard Nixon on December 22, 1973, which recognized the tribe again and started them on the path towards reforming a reservation. The reservation was reformed in 1975, a tribal constitution was signed in 1976, and the new tribal government took over in 1979. In 1993, the College of the Menominee Nation was founded, and the Sustainable Development Institute was started as a research and resource support institute to the college.
