It is a starting point in our work to find out more about the rich land and water resources and provide some management strategies in the area drained by the Lower Chippewa River and tributaries. The Lower Chippewa Basin is one of the most biologically diverse areas in Wisconsin. It will only be through careful, cooperative planning and management that these gifts will remain for the future. This report doesn't diminish other work that has been done and will be done. It needs to be read together with the Lower Chippewa River Basin Water Quality Management Plan, the Fish & Wildlife Habitat Plan 2001-2006, priority watershed plans, sewer service area plans, and county Land and Water Plans. This report will help you understand how our natural resources interact with one another and what issues need to receive more attention. It will help provide direction for all of us who work and recreate here in the basin and what issues need public policy decisions in the near future. We, at the Department of Natural Resources are working to fill information gaps. Waters Program staff are focusing on collection of data where surface waters are largely unknown. Some data will continue to be collected on previously inventoried waters to track trends. Updated and more comprehensive databases will help develop management strategies in the future. We will help restore native brook trout habitats, encourage restoring natural patterns in streams with removal of dams or fish passages. We have an opportunity to improve water quality by reducing excess nutrients to our streams, lakes and groundwater. Our Lands Program staff is working on two major projects, one the Lower Chippewa Natural Area, primarily in Dunn, Pepin and Buffalo counties and the other the Western Prairie Habitat Restoration Area, primarily in Pierce, St. Croix and Polk counties. In each case, native grasslands will be protected along with the species that need that shrinking resource to survive. Recreational lands will be developed, linking the Red Cedar Trail to a Chippewa Valley trail system connecting Cornell, Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire and Menomonie. To accomplish this we will be streamlining existing tasks or eliminating tasks to have resources available to proceed. We will be looking to cooperate with others to share information about the resources and opportunities to leverage dollars for habitat improvement and providing recreational opportunities to you. Today the State of the Basin is one of opportunity. It is an opportunity for the people of the area and the Department of Natural Resources to work together to protect and enhance our lands and waters, so the Basin that has made the Chippewa Valley what it is will be stable to enhance our economy, benefit our fish and wildlife, and provide for our recreation. Quality Natural Resources Management www.dnr.state.wi.us iii www.wisconsin.gov Printed on Through Excellent Customer Service Recycled Paper We're proud of the work our staffs have put into this report, and especially so because much of it has involved the people of the Basin. If we envision a tomorrow with clean water, restored grasslands, and a safe environment for all our citizens then together we can make it happen.

  • Altoona, WI 2015 Community Profile
    Altoona, WI 2015 Community Profile The City of Altoona is flourishing! Ranked in the top 5 fastest growing cities in Wisconsin, Altoona is experiencing unprecedented economic and population growth for the past three years due to several new residential developments, senior living facilities, a hospital, office buildings providing healthcare and financial services, grocery store, bank, and retail development. Altoona has not experienced this level of growth since its humble beginning in 1887 as the “smallest city in the United States.” Today, Altoona maintains the serenity of a small town with big city amenities. Ideally located in the heart of the Chippewa Valley with the City of Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls as neighbors, Altoona offers convenient access to US and interstate highways, cultural experiences, attractions, shopping and more. Altoona is blessed with and committed to the preservation of its abundant natural beauty. Residents enjoy exceptional amenities because of thoughtful and deliberate community investments resulting in an excellent school district, a strong and diverse housing market, thriving neighborhoods, community parks, and year-round outdoor recreational opportunities with convenient access to Lake Altoona, the Eau Claire River, and connectivity to an expansive regional trail system. One of Altoona’s current significant developments is River Prairie - a treasure trove of economic development and activity with conveniences such as Woodman’s Food Market, fueling stations and a soon-to-be completed extended stay hotel, Staybridge Suites. The City of Altoona and its residents have embraced the opportunities River Prairie offers and have invested in tech infrastructure with plans for outdoor music/entertainment venues, park spaces with water features such as man-made river, splash pad, and ponds, mixed use buildings with retail and residential units, restaurants, farmers market, outdoor dining, trails and a canoe/kayak launch site accessing the Eau Claire River.
