Milwaukee River Report Card 2012 www.milwaukeeriverkeeper.org Milwaukee River Basin Grade: C- East and West Branches Milwaukee River The Milwaukee River Basin, consisting of the Milwaukee, Menomonee, Subwatershed and Kinnickinnic River Watersheds, scored a disappointing (but North Branch improved) overall grade of C-. The year 2012 was a tumultuous B+ Milwaukee River Subwatershed year in weather, contributing to continued poor grades for several parameters across all watersheds. An early thaw coupled with wet B spring, made monitoring swollen streams difficult in May. A prolonged drought ensued, bringing streamflows in several streams to a near Milwaukee River halt, if not completely drying up in spots. Low water conditions led Watershed to high turbidity, phosphorus, chloride/conductivity and bacteria concentrations in both watersheds, with these parameters earning a combined five F’s, 2 D’s and only one C. C The Milwaukee River Watershed, consisting of the North Branch, East Cedar Creek Subwatershed & West Branch, and South Branch Subwatersheds of the Milwaukee River, as well as the Cedar Creek Subwatershed, maintained a C B average. All subwatersheds received A’s for pH, water temperature and dissolved oxygen. Turbidity remained a problem in the South Branch phosphorus, conductivity, and bacteria received across the Menomonee C- River board D’s and F’s in all subwatersheds.

History of Ozaukee County
OZAUKEE COUNTY www.co.ozaukee.wi.us History of Ozaukee County By Don Silldorff, Director, Mequon Historical Society Copyright © 1998 Other than one or two transient fur traders the only residents of Ozaukee County before 1835, were Potawatomi and Menominee Indians. The land comprising Ozaukee County was part of Milwaukee County, Michigan Territory. In 1835 Michigan Territory was in the midst of petitioning Congress to become a state. One of the requirements was for Michigan to assist Wisconsin in becoming a separate territory. The U.S. Government moved the process along in 1835 by advertising land for public sale in Wisconsin, prompting thousands of New Englanders to come to Wisconsin to purchase the cheap land at $1.25 per acre. They traveled by way of the Erie Canal to Buffalo, New York and then by way of the Great Lakes on ships to Wisconsin where they found bountiful land and new business opportunities. The early history of Ozaukee County before Wisconsin became a separate territory in 1836 is a separate story which began with native Americans, explorers, fur traders and military activity. Before the white man occupied the land, travel through the heavily forested wilderness was by canoe on the rivers and streams and by foot on the many Indian trails that threaded their way throughout the land. One of these trails, used for thousands of years, extended from Hudson Bay all the way to Florida. A portion of this trail connected Fort Howard at Green Bay with Fort Dearborn in Chicago, and became known as the Green Bay Trail.

Greater Milwaukee Water Quality Connections INTRODUCTION CONTENTS the Waters of Southeastern Wisconsin Have Always Been Among Its Most Important and Cherished Assets
GREATER MILWAUKEE WATER QUALITY CONNECTIONS INTRODUCTION CONTENTS The waters of Southeastern Wisconsin have always been among its most important and cherished assets. Long before the first pioneers came, Native Americans depended on the abundant game in the watershed for food and trading. These early inhabitants Introduction 2 gave the area the name “Milwaukee” which means “Gathering Place by the Waters.” Rural 5 The first European immigrants were fur traders who recognized the strategic advantage of a fur trading post on the shores of Lake Suburban 9 Michigan. As Milwaukee grew, so did the importance of water resources. The port of Milwaukee grew to be the largest in the Urban 15 state, helping the “Gathering Place by the Waters” become Wisconsin’s largest city. Breweries became famous partly due to the Lake Michigan 21 purity of the water supply. Upstream communities flourished within the basin, damming rivers for power. Visions and Next Steps 25 The fast growth took its toll on our water resources. The once pristine streams and lakes were choked with waste that alarmed Contacts and Resources 26 residents. In 1972, public indignation turned into action when Congress responded to their concerns about water pollution with the passage of the Clean Water Act, which promised to make waters “fishable and swimmable” by 1983. EDITORIAL More than 30 years have passed since the adoption of the Clean Water Act. We have made great progress, but still fall short of the goal Kate Morgan Editor/Lead Writer of “fishable and swimmable” waters. Flooding, non-point pollution, and sewer overflows continue to degrade water quality.
