  • Hillsdale Lake Watershed Restoration & Protection Strategy 9-Element Watershed Plan Summary
    Hillsdale Lake Watershed Restoration & Protection Strategy 9-Element Watershed Plan Summary Impairments to be addressed: • Directly addressing the High Priority TMDL for Eutrophication on Hillsdale Lake, which includes focusing on reducing the phosphorus and sediment loading within the watershed. • Hillsdale Lake is not listed as having a TMDL for sedimentation; however, the SLT believes sediment is currently present and increasing and is also therefore addressing this issue with this WRAPS plan. • BMPs implemented to address Hillsdale Lake will indirectly address the Medium Priority TMDLs for Eutrophication and Atrazine for Edgerton City Lake. Targeting Determinations: • From studies conducted, a Priority Targeted Area for BMP placement has been determined. • The Priority Targeted Area consists of a 3/4 mile buffer along each side of KDHE classified streams in the watershed, including adjacent to Hillsdale Lake. • Targeted included streams are: Big Bull Creek, Rock Creek, Little Bull Creek, Martin Creek, Smith Creek, and Spring Creek. • Priority Targeted Areas will address degraded fields lying adjected to streams and lakes, the BNSF Intermodal Facility, and upland areas containing high numbers of forested restoration sites or KDHE determined restoration sites. Priority areas are targeted for both cropland and livestock practices, based upon land use within the targeted HUC 12s. Best Management Practices and Load Reduction Goals Best Management Practices (BMPs) to address nutrients and sediment in the watershed were chosen by the SLT
