May 21 Lake Wissota Stewardship Project Meeting Highlights

Community outreach—1) A $5000 X-cel Energy grant has been applied for to provide a 2019 water quality intern at Kamp Kenwood to teach hydrology and how water quality affects the community, 2) a Watershed Project Start-up Manual has been submitted by Leinies to help other organizations enact the water quality model, 3) an investigation is underway to form a farmer-led watershed council, 4) 80 Canoes for a Cause volunteers planted 2 acres of trees on each of two sites- 700 trees/acre at Hirsch site and 300 trees/acre at the Steinke site.

Projects on the Antczak, Hirsch, and Steinke properties have been completed and contracts have been signed for berms and scrapes on the Pederson property. Several projects have been identified but need funding or wetland permits to go forward. In general, restoring wetlands and buffers can be covered by state and federal grant money while projects such as scrapes need to be covered by a private funding source.

A Nine Key Element Plan draft for managing water quality in the Little Lake Wissota watershed has been submitted to the DNR.

Boy Scouts have begun monitoring Little Lake Wissota, and LWIPA monitors are active on the Big Lake. Eleven stream monitor volunteers for Paint Creek and Yellow River began training on June 12 and will be monitoring sites in both waterways for the rest of the summer and early fall.
