Clark Creek Watershed Study

Clark Creek

Sauk County has completed work on the Clark Creek Water Quality and Management Report funded through a 604(b) Stimulus Grant from Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The grant was used to pay a portion of the cost of two detailed investigations of the Clark Creek Watershed located in Town of Greenfield, Sauk County. The results of the two studies will be used to direct the efforts of the County to improve both the resource and control excessive erosion and sedimentation within the watershed. Among the ultimate goals of the project are an improved resource and protection for residents impacted by previous flooding of the stream.

More detailed information is available through the two reports on file with the Conservation, Planning and Zoning Department in Sauk County. Those reports are: Clark Creek Watershed Study Final Report, prepared by Montgomery Associates Resource Solutions and Water Quality Survey of Clark Creek, Sauk County, prepared by Dave Marshall, Underwater Habitat Investigations LLC.  Additional information was provided through the work of Jean Unmuth, DNR Water Resources Manager and David Rowe, DNR Fishery Manager. This final report is not intended to provide great detail but just to summarize the project deliverables from these two documents.
