INTRODUCTION PURPOSE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Town of Cato 20-Year Comprehensive Plan is a legal document that provides the policy framework for town officials when making development decisions. Over the next 20 years, this comprehensive plan will serve as a guide to ensure decisions regarding future land uses are consistent and take into account housing development, provision of public services, economic development, transportation expansion, and environmental protection. The 20-Year Land Use Plan (Map 3.1) illustrates the environmental and agricultural features of the town. The town hopes to preserve as much as possible the agricultural and environmental resources during this planning period. The 20-Year Land Use Plan, along with the town’s development strategies, shall be used in conjunction with Manitowoc County’s zoning ordinances, local land use ordinances, supporting planning materials, and other implementation tools to make informed land use decisions in the Town of Cato over the next 20 years. State Planning Legislation As outlined in the Comprehensive Planning legislation, s.66.1001, Wis. Stats., the Town of Cato 20-Year Comprehensive Plan addresses the required plan elements. Issues and Opportunities Agriculture, Natural, and Cultural Resources Utilities and Community Facilities Transportation Land Use Population and Housing Economic Development Intergovernmental Cooperation Implementation The comprehensive planning legislation (s.66.1001, Wis. Stats.) further states: “Beginning on January 1, 2010, if a local governmental unit engages in any of the following actions, those actions shall be consistent with that local governmental unit’s comprehensive plan: Official mapping established or amended under s. 62.23 (6).

  • 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.

  • Northeast Lakeshore TMDL: SWAT Model Setup, Calibration, and Validation
    Northeast Lakeshore TMDL: SWAT Model Setup, Calibration, and Validation March 15, 2021 Draft Prepared by The Cadmus Group LLC for US EPA Region 5 1 Overview This document summarizes the setup, calibration, and validation of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model for the Northeast Lakeshore (NEL) Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) study area. The NEL SWAT model was configured using the ArcSWAT2012 interface in ArcGIS 10.7 (ArcSWAT) and run using SWAT 2012 Revision 664 (SWAT). The Cadmus Group (Cadmus) developed the NEL SWAT model to support the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) with TMDL development. The NEL study area covers approximately 1,971 square miles and drains to Lake Michigan in northeastern Wisconsin. The area spans eight counties, from Ozaukee County at the southern boundary to Door County at the northern boundary. The NEL study area is comprised of three major basins that drain to Lake Michigan: the Kewaunee Basin, the Manitowoc Basin, and the Sheboygan Basin. Each of these basins include many streams and rivers that drain to the Kewaunee River, Manitowoc River, Sheboygan River, and directly to Lake Michigan. See Table 1 for a list of major rivers and streams within each drainage basin. Table 1. Major rivers and streams within each basin. Basin Name River or Stream Name Kewaunee Basin Kewaunee River Ahnapee River Silver Creek (near Algoma) West Twin River East Twin River Manitowoc Basin Manitowoc River Silver Creek (near Manitowoc) Pine Creek Point Creek Sevenmile Creek Sheboygan Basin Pigeon River Sheboygan River Onion River Mullet River Sucker Creek Sauk Creek The NEL SWAT model uses information on weather, land cover, soils, slope, and land management practices in the watershed to generate estimates of runoff volumes, phosphorus loads, and sediment loads in stream channels.
