  • Tainter Lake, Lake Menomin
    Phosphorus Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Tainter Lake and Lake Menomin Dunn County, Wisconsin Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Phosphorus Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Tainter Lake and Lake Menomin Dunn County, Wisconsin – May 31, 2012 Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Western District Eau Claire WI Contributors Paul La Liberte Pat Oldenburg Ken Schreiber Karen Voss Dan Simonson Kathy Bartilson Nicki Clayton 1 Introduction Tainter Lake is a 1,692-acre impoundment of the Red Cedar and Hay rivers located in Dunn County of west central Wisconsin (WBIC 2068000). The lake has a mean depth of about 13 feet, a mean annual residence time of 7 days and a drainage area of approximately 1,700 square miles. The Hay and Red Cedar rivers are the primary sources of inflow to Tainter Lake (Figure 1). Lake Menomin (WBIC 2065900) is a 1,405 acre impoundment located directly downstream of Tainter Lake and receives over 95% of its flow from the Red Cedar River. Because of its short residence time of about 5 days, water quality and algal densities of Lake Menomin are greatly influenced by the discharge from Tainter Lake. Wilson Creek enters Lake Menomin directly above the outlet dam (Figures 2 and 3). Because the dam discharges at a rate that exceeds the flow of Wilson Creek it is expected to immediately pass all water received from Wilson Creek with the remaining flow through the dam coming from the lake. Wilson Creek therefore is expected to have no influence on Lake Menomin water quality. The lake is nearly surrounded by the City of Menomonie (population 14,993), has a mean depth of 7.5 feet and a drainage area of about 1,760 square miles.

  • And Sub-Watersheds (HUC 12) of the Chippewa River Region
    Figure 4.2: Watersheds (HUC 10) and Sub‐Watersheds (HUC 12) of the Chippewa River Region. 4‐2 1. OVERVIEW a) Physical Environment The Chippewa River Region contains both classic “driftless” features as well as glaciated portions. Although the northern and eastern lobe of this region was covered during the Wisconsin Glaciation, its topography, land cover, streams and rivers, and land use patterns are similar to the rest of the Driftless Area. This region is dominated by Cambrian sandstone hills (in many places capped by dolostone) of varying degrees of steepness that are dissected by narrow valleys. Valley floors are typically filled with outwash. Upland areas often have windblown loess soils of varying thicknesses, up to 10 feet deep near the Mississippi River valley. The Chippewa River flows through a wide floodplain of sandy and loamy alluvial soils. As with the Wisconsin and Black rivers, during the Late Wisconsin glaciation the Chippewa River carried large quantities of meltwater along with enormous loads of outwash sand and gravel. As a result, the floodplain is significantly larger than the current river would normally form. b) Land Cover and Use Like other regions in the Driftless Area, the Chippewa River Region is a mix of cropland, forests, grasslands and wetlands (Figure 4.3). Figure 4.3: Land cover of the Chippewa River Region. Most of the agricultural land is confined to the sand plains east of Menomonie, on valley floors and upland areas. Over the past decade, an increasing amount of land is being used for sand mining, irrigated agricultural lands and confined animal facilities.

  • Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the Town of Hay River
    COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN FOR THE TOWN OF HAY RIVER Current Board Members: Stan Andrews, Chair Michelle Drury, Clerk Susan Hitz, Treasurer Jeff Booth Thomas Lutzen ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES Land Use Planning Process It was the responsibility of the Plan Commission to learn about past community changes, changes likely to occur in the future, community likes and dislikes, and to define what residents want the community to become. It studied supporting information and evaluated Township needs. Community participation in this process included a survey, visioning sessions and open houses. The Plan Commission is charged with the responsibility for making recommendations to the Town Board to ensure implementation of the plan is consistent with the goals and objectives. Based on its findings this plan makes recommendations to the Town Board regarding appropriate actions necessary to address protecting/preserving valuable Township characteristics. Vision Statement When drafting the Town of Hay Rivers Comprehensive Plan the Plan Commission will strive to: “Preserve Hay River’s Natural Resources without compromising our Rural Character while strengthening our Agricultural Base and lifestyle.” Community Involvement Survey November 2002 Open House # 1 January 25, 2003 Visioning session January 11,2003 Open House # 2 October 4, 2004 Newsletters March 2003 through September 2004 General Policies Document public participation Identify key issues and opportunities that the plan revolves around Research selected trends in the local economy and demographics Generate population projections Socioeconomic profile Note: unless otherwise noted US Census data is the source of data and information.

  • Kark's Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to 309 Wisconsin Streams
    Kark's Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to 309 Wisconsin Streams By Richard Kark May 2015 Introduction A Badger Stream Love Affair My fascination with rivers started near my hometown of Osage, Iowa on the Cedar River. High school buddies and I fished the river and canoe-camped along its lovely limestone bluffs. In 1969 I graduated from St. Olaf College in Minnesota and soon paddled my first Wisconsin stream. With my college sweetheart I spent three days and two nights canoe-camping from Taylors Falls to Stillwater on the St. Croix River. “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond blared from our transistor radio as we floated this lovely stream which was designated a National Wild and Scenic River in 1968. Little did I know I would eventually explore more than 300 other Wisconsin streams. In the late 1970s I was preoccupied by my medical studies in Milwaukee but did find the time to explore some rivers. I recall canoeing the Oconto, Chippewa, Kickapoo, “Illinois Fox,” and West Twin Rivers during those years. Several of us traveled to the Peshtigo River and rafted “Roaring Rapids” with a commercial company. At the time I could not imagine riding this torrent in a canoe. We also rafted Piers Gorge on the Menomonee River. Our guide failed to avoid Volkswagen Rock over Mishicot Falls. We flipped and I experienced the second worst “swim” of my life. Was I deterred from whitewater? Just the opposite, it seems. By the late 1970s I was a practicing physician, but I found time for Wisconsin rivers. In 1979 I signed up for the tandem whitewater clinic run by the River Touring Section of the Sierra Club’s John Muir Chapter.
