In 2024, the NEW Watershed Program (Program) of NEW Water completed its third year of Adaptive Management (AM) for permit compliance with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) to meet new total phosphorus (TP) and total suspended solids (TSS) limits in their discharge permit. The Program was developed to bring together agencies, county staff, non-profits, tribal nations, landowners, agronomists, farmers, universities, and communities to work together to improve land management strategies and implement new conservation practices that help reduce nonpoint runoff and improve water quality. By working in the surrounding communities, excess nutrients and sediment can be prevented from entering the impaired waters of Ashwaubenon Creek and Dutchman Creek (ACDC).
Thanks to a grant received from the Wisconsin Coastal Management Program, we’ve created a Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) awareness campaign (see enclosed example of a poster), to help inform our community about keeping safe while recreating in area waters.
