A watershed study was completed in November 2013 for the St. Croix Headwaters Watershed (SCHW) by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The study focused on priority water resource issues identified through collaboration with the agencies and stakeholders. This included evaluating existing conditions for water quality; wetlands presence and function; aquatic habitat; fish passage; aquatic invasive species and St. Croix Flowage Management. Potential for future development was also assessed, including potential impacts of development on priority water resources. Finally, recommendations were made to direct future watershed management. See here for the study report including tables, data, and maps.
