Data resulting from model runs:
Figure Flashiness index Dissolved oxygen v. days per year Fecal coliform v. days per year Phosphorus v. days per year Suspended solids v. days per year Monthly dissolved oxygen Monthly fecal coliform Monthly phosphorus Monthly suspended solids
Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment The Flashiness Index quantifies the frequency and rapidity of short-term changes in stream flow. The index ranges from 0 Very Good Moderate to Poor Good Very Good to Good Very Good Moderate to Poor
to 2, with 0 being constant flow. The flashiness is reasonably low at this location. Typically, aquatic communities need 5 mg/l or more of dissolved oxygen to survive. Concentrations at this site are typically below this level about 20% of the time. The water leaving the nearby wetlands may be anoxic at times which would decrease oxygen levels in the stream. For recreational uses, lower fecal coliform counts (a measure of bacteria) are better (preferably under 400 counts / 100ml). The counts on majority of the days are below 400. Unlike many of the downstream sites, this site does not exhibit frequent spikes of >5,000 counts. This may be related to settling and solar exposure in the wetlands. Phosphorus is a nutrient that can lead to increased growth of algae. The concentrations of phosphorus, on most of the days, are at or below the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline. Throughout the year, the phosphorus concentrations do not exceed 0.3 mg/l on any day. Suspended solids cause water to become cloudy, which is aesthetically unpleasant. They can also clog the gills of fish and invertebrates, make feeding difficult, and lead to sediment deposition (poor habitat). The concentrations are less than 25 mg/l on most of the days and the concentrations of suspended solids do not exceed 100 mg/l on any day. The decline in dissolved oxygen concentrations during the summer is normal due to the decreased solubility of oxygen in warmer water. The upper portion of the concentration ranges for each month is fairly typical; however, the lower portions of the ranges (below the median or 25th percentile) decline more than would be expected. This may indicate excess organic matter or biochemical oxygen demand in the stream. While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, notice that the median and 75th percentile values decline during the summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Also note that the conditions are poorest in March and are likely related to snow melt. Phosphorus concentrations rarely exceed the planning guideline. They increase slightly during late spring and summer. This may be related to a combination of snow melt and fertilizer runoff from agricultural fields. The concentrations of suspended solids are relatively low year-round and lower during the winter months. The lower concentrations during the winter are probably related to a number of factors including frozen conditions and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain).
Good to Moderate Very Good Very Good
Figure Dissolved oxygen by flow Fecal coliform by flow
Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment Note that the largest declines in dissolved oxygen concentrations occur at low flows. This is partly due to a combination Moderate
of decreased water agitation and higher temperatures (low flow conditions are often naturally associated with the warm summer months). Decreases during low-flow conditions may be exacerbated by oxygen demand from organic material and in-stream biochemical oxygen demand. Generally, a pollutant that is present at high concentrations during high flows and low concentrations during low flows (fecal coliform, in this case) is attributed primarily to non-point sources. Note that during any period with the higher flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the regulatory standard about 50% of the time. During low flows and dry conditions, the standard is met well over 75% of the time. This would also be the safest time for any recreational uses (boating, swimming, wading, etc.), although the amount of water in the stream may limit recreational uses to wading. Concentrations of phosphorus only exceed the planning guideline at higher flows. This suggests that the excess phosphorus is originating from non-point sources. The similarities between the phosphorus and suspended solids data suggest that the phosphorus may be associated with suspended sediment. The concentrations of suspended solids increase with increased flows, suggesting contributions from non-point sources. The suspended solids may come from runoff that carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended stream sediments.

Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment The Flashiness Index quantifies the frequency and rapidity of short-term changes in stream flow. The index ranges from 0 Very Good Good to Moderate Good Good to Moderate Very Good
to 2, with 0 being constant flow. The flashiness is reasonably low at this location. Typically, aquatic communities need 5 mg/l or more of dissolved oxygen to survive. Concentrations at this site periodically fall below this level. For recreational uses, lower fecal coliform counts (a measure of bacteria) are better (preferably under 400 counts / 100ml).

Phosphorus is a nutrient that can lead to increased growth of algae. The concentrations of phosphorus, on most of the days, are at or below the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline. Throughout the year, the phosphorus concentrations do not exceed 0.35 mg/l on any day. Suspended solids cause water to become cloudy, which is aesthetically unpleasant. They can also clog the gills of fish and invertebrates, make feeding difficult, and lead to sediment deposition (poor habitat). The concentrations are less than 25 mg/l on most of the days and the concentrations of suspended solids do not exceed 100 mg/l on any day. This may be related to settling in the wetlands. Note the lower dissolved oxygen concentrations during the summer. This is expected and due to the decreased solubility of oxygen in warmer water. The moderate variability suggests that there may be algal growth, organic enrichment and increased oxygen demand in the stream. While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, note that the median and 75th percentile values decline during the summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Also note that the conditions are poorest in March and are likely related to snow melt. Phosphorus concentrations are lowest in late winter and early spring and are highest in the summer and early fall. The increases during the summer may be related to fertilizer inputs and runoff from agricultural fields. The concentrations of suspended solids are relatively low year-round and lower during the winter months. The lower concentrations during the winter months are likely due to a number of factors including frozen conditions and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain).

Note that during any period with high flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the regulatory standard about 50% of the time. During low flows and dry conditions, the standard is met over 75% of the time. This would be the safest time for any recreational uses (boating, swimming, wading, etc.), although the amount of water in the stream may limit recreational use to wading. Concentrations of phosphorus are greatest at low flows. This suggests a background source of phosphorus that may be associated with agricultural drain tile discharge or releases from private onsite wastewater treatment systems (including agricultural lagoons). The concentrations of suspended solids increase with increased flows, suggesting contributions from non-point sources. The suspended solids may come from runoff that carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended stream sediments.

Flashiness

Menomonee River Watershed Restoration Plan Fact Sheet MN-3, Reach 812, West Branch Menomonee River
Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment The Flashiness Index quantifies the frequency and rapidity of short-term changes in stream flow. The index ranges from 0 Good Moderate Good Very Good to Good Very Good
to 2, with 0 being constant flow. The flashiness is reasonable at this location. Typically, aquatic communities need 5 mg/l or more of dissolved oxygen to survive. Concentrations at this site are below this level about 20% of the time. For recreational uses, lower fecal coliform counts (a measure of bacteria) are better (preferably under 400 counts / 100 ml). The counts on majority of the days are below 400. Unlike many of the downstream sites, this site does not exhibit frequent spikes of above 5,000 counts. Phosphorus is a nutrient that can lead to increased growth of algae. The concentrations of phosphorus, on most of the days, are at or below the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline. Throughout the year, the phosphorus concentrations do not exceed 0.25 mg/l on any day. Suspended solids cause water to become cloudy, which is aesthetically unpleasant. They can also clog the gills of fish and invertebrates, make feeding difficult, and lead to sediment deposition (poor habitat). The concentrations are less than 25 mg/l on most of the days and the concentrations of suspended solids do not exceed 100 mg/l on any day. This may be related to settling in the ponds and wetlands. The decline in dissolved oxygen concentrations during the summer is normal due to the decreased solubility of oxygen in warmer water. The upper portion of the concentration ranges for each month is fairly typical; however, the lower portions of the ranges (below the median or 25th percentile) decline more than would be expected. This may indicate excess organic matter and biochemical oxygen demand in the stream. While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, notice that the median and 75th percentile values decline during the summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Also note that the conditions are poorest in March and are likely related to snow melt. Phosphorus concentrations rarely exceed the planning guideline. They increase slightly during late spring and summer. This may be related to a combination of snow melt and fertilizer runoff from agricultural fields. The concentrations of suspended solids are relatively low year-round and lower during the winter months. The lower concentrations during the winter are probably linked to a number of factors including frozen conditions, decreased construction activities, and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain).
Moderate to Poor
Good to Moderate Very Good to Good Very Good
Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment Note that the largest declines in dissolved oxygen concentrations occur during low flows. This is partly due to a Moderate
combination of decreased water agitation and higher temperatures (low flow conditions are often naturally associated with the warm summer months). Declines during low flow conditions may be exacerbated by oxygen demand from organic material and increase biochemical oxygen demand. Generally, a pollutant that is present at high concentrations during high flows and low concentrations during low flows (fecal coliform, in this case) is attributed primarily to non-point sources. Note that during any period with the highest flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the regulatory standard about 50% of the time. During low flows and dry conditions, the standard is met well over 75% of the time; this would also be the safest time for any recreational uses (boating, swimming, wading, etc.), although the amount of water in the stream may limit recreational use to wading. Concentrations of phosphorus only exceed the planning guideline at high flows. This suggests that the excess phosphorus is from non-point sources. The similarities between the phosphorus and suspended solids data suggest that the phosphorus may be associated with suspended sediments. The concentrations of suspended solids increase with increased flows, suggesting contributions from non-point sources. The suspended solids may come from runoff that carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended stream sediments.

The lower concentrations during the winter are probably related to a number of factors including frozen conditions and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain).
Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment Good to Moderate Note that the largest decreases in dissolved oxygen concentrations occur at low flows. This is partly due to a combination
of decreased water agitation and higher temperatures (low flow conditions are often naturally associated with the warm summer months). Decreases during low flow conditions may be exacerbated by excess organic material and biochemical oxygen demand. Generally, a pollutant that is present at high concentrations during high flows and low concentrations during low flows (fecal coliform, in this case) is attributed primarily to non-point sources. Note that during any period with the high flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the regulatory standard roughly 75% of the time. During low flows and dry conditions, the standard is met well over 75% of the time. This would be the safest time for any recreational uses (boating, swimming, wading, etc.), although the amount of water in the stream may limit recreational use to wading. Concentrations of phosphorus only exceed the planning guideline at moist conditions and high flows. This suggests that the excess phosphorus is primarily from non-point sources. The similarities between the phosphorus and suspended solids data suggest that the phosphorus may be associated with suspended sediment. The concentrations of suspended solids increase with increased flows, suggesting contributions from non-point sources. The suspended solids may come from runoff that carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended stream sediments.

Figure Flashiness index Dissolved oxygen v. days per year Fecal coliform v. days per year Phosphorus v. days per year Suspended solids v. days per year Monthly chloride grab samples (CL not from models) Monthly dissolved oxygen Monthly fecal coliform Monthly phosphorus Monthly suspended solids
Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment The Flashiness Index quantifies the frequency and rapidity of short-term changes in stream flow. The index ranges from 0 Very Good Good Moderate Moderate to Poor Very Good Inconclusive (no winter data)
to 2, with 0 being constant flow. The flashiness is reasonably low at this location. Typically, aquatic communities need 5 mg/l or more of dissolved oxygen to survive. Concentrations at this site rarely fall below this level. For recreational uses, lower fecal coliform counts (a measure of bacteria) are better (preferably under 400 counts / 100ml). The counts on majority of the days are below 400. This site exhibits fewer spikes of above 5,000 counts than many of the downstream sites. Phosphorus is a nutrient that can lead to increased growth of algae. The concentrations on most days are at or below the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline, but occasionally, the concentrations exceed 0.5 mg/l. Suspended solids cause water to become cloudy, which is aesthetically unpleasant. They can also clog the gills of fish and invertebrates, make feeding difficult, and lead to sediment deposition (poor habitat). The concentrations are less than 25 mg/l during most of the days and the concentrations of suspended solids do not exceed 125 mg/l on any day These samples exhibit chloride concentrations that are below those that are toxic to fish and invertebrates. Concentrations measured in March consistently exceed the chronic toxicity threshold. However, a common source of chloride is road salt and there is no winter data. Note that concentrations in the March samples (which include snow melt and spring runoff) are higher than the rest of the year. However, chloride concentrations during the winter would be expected to be greater than those measured in March. Note the decline in dissolved oxygen concentrations during the summer. This is normal due to the decreased solubility of oxygen in warmer water. Conditions in early-to-mid summer approach the dissolved oxygen standard. While this is not a problem, it suggests that small amounts of additional organic inputs or algal growth may increase biochemical oxygen demand and create problems. While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, notice that the median and 75th percentile values decline during the summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Also note that the conditions are poorest in March and are likely related to snow melt. In most months, phosphorus concentrations exceed the planning guideline 25% to 50% of the time. Note that the lowest range of concentrations increase in the late spring and early summer, possibly related to fertilizer runoff. The concentrations of suspended solids are relatively low year-round and lower during the winter months. The lower concentrations during the winter are probably related to a number of factors including frozen conditions and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain).

Figure Chloride by flow (Cl not from models) Dissolved oxygen by flow Fecal coliform by flow
Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment Inconclusive (no As the field data used to develop this figure do not include samples from the winter, it is impossible to draw accurate winter data) conclusions regarding chloride from this figure. Good Moderate to Poor
Note the slight decline in the concentration of dissolved oxygen that occurs at low flows. This is likely due to a combination of decreased water agitation and higher temperatures (low flow conditions are often associated with the warm summer months). Generally, a pollutant that is present at high concentrations during high flows and low concentrations during low flows (fecal coliform, in this case) is attributed primarily to non-point sources. The infrequent sewer overflows (once every 2-5 years) would only contribute during the high flows when substantial non-point loads are present. Note that during any period with the highest flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the regulatory standard 75% of the time. During low flows, the standard is met more than 75% of the time. This would be the safest time for any recreational uses (boating, swimming, wading, etc.), although the amount of water in the stream may limit recreational use to wading. Concentrations of phosphorus are greatest at high and low flows. This suggests a background source of phosphorus that is particularly noticeable during low flows as well as non-point loading of phosphorus at high flows (likely associated with suspended sediment). The concentrations of suspended solids increase with increased flows, suggesting contributions from non-point sources. The suspended solids may come from runoff that carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended stream sediments.

to 2, with 0 being constant flow. The flashiness is reasonable at this location. Typically, aquatic communities need 5 mg/l or more of dissolved oxygen to survive. Concentrations at this site rarely fall below this level. For recreational uses, lower fecal coliform counts (a measure of bacteria) are better (preferably under 400 counts / 100ml). The counts on most of the days are either below 400 or above 5,000. A potential goal in this case may be to determine the conditions that create the above 5,000 days and discourage recreational use on days that meet these conditions. An additional goal may be to find ways to decrease fecal coliform loads in order to increase the number of days that have below 400 counts. Phosphorus is a nutrient that can lead to increased growth of algae. The concentrations on most of the days are at or below the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline. Throughout the year, the phosphorus concentrations do not exceed 0.3 mg/l on any day. Suspended solids cause water to become cloudy, which is aesthetically unpleasant. They can also clog the gills of fish and invertebrates, make feeding difficult, and lead to sediment deposition (poor habitat). The concentrations are less than 25 mg/l during the majority of the days, but the concentrations of suspended solids exceed 200 mg/l on some days. Note the lower dissolved oxygen concentrations during the summer. This is normal due to the decreased solubility of oxygen in warmer water. Conditions in early-to-mid summer approach the standard. While this is not a problem, it suggests that small amounts of additional organic inputs or algal growth may increase biochemical oxygen demand and create problems. While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, note that the 75th percentile values decline during the summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Also note that the conditions are poorest in March and are likely related to snow melt. In each month, phosphorus concentrations exceed the planning guideline less than 25% of the time. Note that the 75th percentile concentrations decline during the late spring and early summer, possibly related to phosphorus uptake from plants and algae. The 75th percentiles of suspended solids concentrations are highest in the late winter and early spring. Particularly in March, this is probably related to runoff from snow melt. The maximum concentrations of suspended solids are lowest in the winter, likely due to frozen conditions, decreased construction activities, and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain).

Good Good Good to Moderate
Moderate Very Good to Good Good
Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment Note the decline in dissolved oxygen concentrations at low flows. This is likely due to a combination of decreased water Good
agitation and higher temperatures (low flow conditions are often associated with the warm summer months). This is somewhat natural, but may be exacerbated by alterations in the stream and watershed (for example, a concrete-lined channel). Generally, a pollutant that is present at high concentrations during high flows and low concentrations during low flows (fecal coliform, in this case) is attributed primarily to non-point sources. Note that during any period with the highest flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the regulatory standard more than 75% of the time. During dry conditions and low flows, the standard is met more than 75% of the time. This would be the safest time for any recreational uses (boating, swimming, wading, etc.), although the amount of water in the stream may limit recreational use to wading. Concentrations of phosphorus are lowest at high and low flows. This suggests that the inputs are primarily non-point sources that are activated during small storms, but that are diluted by heavy storms. The concentrations of suspended solids increase with increased flows, suggesting contributions from non-point sources. The suspended solids may come from runoff that carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended stream sediments.

Menomonee River Watershed Restoration Plan Fact Sheet MN-7, Reach 841, Lilly Creek
Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment The Flashiness Index quantifies the frequency and rapidity of short-term changes in stream flow. The index ranges from 0 Good Moderate to Poor Variable (some good, some bad)
to 2, with 0 being constant flow. The flashiness is reasonable at this location. Typically, aquatic communities need 5 mg/l or more of dissolved oxygen to survive. Concentrations at this site fall below this level about 15% of the time. Concentrations occasionally fall below 2 mg/l. For recreational uses, lower fecal coliform counts (a measure of bacteria) are better (preferably under 400 counts / 100ml). The counts on majority of the days are either below 400 or above 5,000. A potential goal in this case may be to determine the conditions that create the above 5,000 days and discourage recreational use on days that meet these conditions. An additional goal could be to find ways to decrease the fecal coliform loads in order to increase the number of days that have below 400 counts. Phosphorus is a nutrient that can lead to increased growth of algae. The concentrations on most of the days are at or below the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline. Throughout the year, the phosphorus concentrations do not exceed 0.4 mg/l on any day. Suspended solids cause water to become cloudy, which is aesthetically unpleasant. They can also clog the gills of fish and invertebrates, make feeding difficult, and lead to sediment deposition (poor habitat). The concentrations are less than 25 mg/l on the majority of the days, but the concentrations exceed 200 mg/l on some of the days. It is normal for dissolved oxygen concentrations during the summer to decline due to the decreased solubility of oxygen in warmer water; however, the lower concentrations during February, March, and May to December are lower than would be expected. This may be due to increased oxygen demand from aquatic organisms or from the decomposition of organic matter. While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, notice that the 75th percentile concentrations drop during the summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Also note that the conditions are poorest in March and are likely related to snow melt. There is an increase in the minimum values in July and August the cause of this is uncertain. In most months, phosphorus concentrations exceed the planning guideline less than 25% of the time. Note that the 75th percentile concentrations decline in the late spring and summer, possibly related to phosphorus uptake from plants and algae. The 75th percentiles of suspended solids concentrations are highest during the late winter and early spring. The maximum concentrations for suspended solids are lowest in the winter, likely due to frozen conditions, decreased construction activities, and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain).
Good Good Moderate to Poor
Moderate
Good to Moderate Good
Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment Note the decline of dissolved oxygen concentrations during low flows; the standard is met only half of the time. This is Moderate
likely due to a combination of decreased water agitation and higher temperatures (low flow conditions are often associated with the warm summer months). This is somewhat natural, but may be exacerbated by human-caused alterations of the stream and watershed. Generally, a pollutant that is present at high concentrations during high flows and low concentrations during low flows (fecal coliform, in this case) is attributed primarily to non-point sources. Note that during periods with the highest flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the regulatory standard more 75% of the time. During dry conditions and low flows, the standard is met more than 75% of the time. This would be the safest time for any recreational uses (boating, swimming, wading, etc.), although the amount of water in the stream may limit recreational use to wading. Concentrations of phosphorus are highest at high flows. This suggests that the phosphorus inputs are primarily non-point sources. Much of the phosphorus is likely sediment-associated, particularly under moist conditions. Note the similarities between the phosphorus and suspended solids data. The concentrations of suspended solids increase with increased flows, suggesting contributions from non-point sources. The suspended solids may come from runoff that carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended stream sediments.

Flashiness

Menomonee River Watershed Restoration Plan Fact Sheet MN-8, Reach 855, Butler Ditch
Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment The Flashiness Index quantifies the frequency and rapidity of short-term changes in stream flow. The index ranges from 0 Good Moderate Variable (some good, some bad)
to 2, with 0 being constant flow. The flashiness is reasonable at this location. Typically, aquatic communities need 5 mg/l or more of dissolved oxygen to survive. Concentrations at this site fall below this level about 10% of the time. For recreational uses, lower fecal coliform counts (a measure of bacteria) are better (preferably under 400 counts / 100ml). The counts on majority of days are either below 400 or above 5,000. A potential goal in this case may be to determine the conditions that create the above 5,000 days and discourage recreational use on days that meet these conditions. An additional goal could be to find ways to decrease fecal coliform loads in order to increase the number of days that have below 400 counts. Phosphorus is a nutrient that can lead to increased growth of algae. The concentrations on most of the days are at or below the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline. Throughout the year, the phosphorus concentrations do not exceed 0.35 mg/l on any day. Suspended solids cause water to become cloudy, which is aesthetically unpleasant. They can also clog the gills of fish and invertebrates, make feeding difficult, and lead to sediment deposition (poor habitat). The concentrations are less than 25 mg/l on most of the days, but the concentrations exceed 200 mg/l on some of the days. It is normal for dissolved oxygen concentrations to decline during the summer due to the decreased solubility of oxygen in warmer water; however, the ranges of concentrations are wider than would be expected. This may be due to increased oxygen demand from aquatic organisms or from the decomposition of organic matter. While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, note that the 75th percentile values decline during the summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Also note that the conditions are poorest in March and are likely related to snow melt. There is an increase in the minimum values in July and August the cause of this is uncertain. In most months, phosphorus concentrations exceed the planning guideline less than 25% of the time. Note that the 75th percentile values decline during the late spring and summer, possibly related to phosphorus uptake from plants and algae. The maximum concentrations for suspended solids are the lowest during the winter. This is likely due to frozen conditions, decreased construction, and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain).
Good Good Moderate to Poor Moderate
Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment Note the decline in dissolved oxygen concentrations at low flows; the standard is met 75% of the time. This is likely due Moderate
to a combination of decreased water agitation and higher temperatures (low flow conditions are often associated with the warm summer months). This is somewhat natural, but is likely exacerbated by human-caused alterations in the stream and watershed. Generally, a pollutant that is present at high concentrations during high flows and low concentrations during low flows (fecal coliform, in this case) is attributed primarily to non-point sources. The infrequent sewer overflows (once every 2-5 years) would only contribute during the high flows when substantial non-point loads are already present. Note that during periods with the highest flows, fecal coliform exceeds the regulatory standard. During dry conditions and low flows, the standard is met more than 75% of the time. This would be the safest time for any recreational uses (boating, swimming, wading, etc.), although the amount of water in the stream may limit recreational use to wading. Concentrations of phosphorus are highest at high flows. This suggests that the phosphorus inputs are primarily non-point sources. Much of the phosphorus is likely associated with sediment. Note the similarities between the phosphorus and suspended solids data. The concentrations of suspended solids increase with increased flows, suggesting contributions from non-point sources. The suspended solids may come from runoff that carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended stream sediments.

Concentrations at this site fall below this level infrequently. For recreational uses, lower fecal coliform counts (a measure of bacteria) are better (preferably under 400 counts / 100ml).

An additional goal could be to find ways to decrease fecal coliform loads in order to increase the number of days that have below 400 counts. Phosphorus is a nutrient that can lead to increased growth of algae. The concentrations are at or below the 0.1 mg/l planning standard on about two-thirds of the days, but the concentrations exceed 1.5mg/l on some of the days. Suspended solids cause water to become cloudy, which is aesthetically unpleasant. They can also clog the gills of fish and invertebrates, make feeding difficult, and lead to sediment deposition (poor habitat). The concentrations are less than 25 mg/l on most of the days, but the concentrations exceed 200 mg/l on some of the days. These samples have chloride concentrations that are below levels that are toxic to fish and invertebrates. However, a common source of chloride is road salt and there is no winter data. In other parts of the watershed, chloride is higher in March probably a residual from road salt. As this is not the case here, it is possible that chloride may not be problematic at this site. The decline in dissolved oxygen concentrations during the summer is normal due to the decreased solubility of oxygen in warmer water. The upper portions of the ranges for each month is fairly typical; however, the lower portions of the ranges (below the 25th percentile) decline more than would be expected during the summer. This may indicate excess organic matter and biochemical oxygen demand within the stream. While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, notice that the median and 75th percentile values decline during the summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Also note that the conditions are poorest in March and are likely related to snow melt. In most months, phosphorus concentrations exceed the planning guideline about 25% to 50% of the time. Note that the phosphorus concentrations increase in March and is likely from snow melt. The maximum concentrations of suspended solids are lowest in the winter. This is likely due to frozen conditions, decreased construction activities, and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain).

Note the decline in dissolved oxygen concentration at low flows.

Generally, a pollutant that is present at high concentrations during high flows and low concentrations during low flows (fecal coliform, in this case) is attributed primarily to non-point sources.

This suggests a background source that is particularly noticeable during low flows (perhaps from non-contact cooling water) as well as non-point loading of phosphorus during medium and high flows. The concentrations of suspended solids increase with increased flows, suggesting contributions from non-point sources. The suspended solids may come from runoff that carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended stream sediments.

Flashiness

Menomonee River Watershed Restoration Plan Fact Sheet MN-10, Reach 861, Little Menomonee Creek
Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment The Flashiness Index quantifies the frequency and rapidity of short-term changes in stream flow. The index ranges from 0 Very Good Good to Moderate Variable (some good, some bad)
to 2, with 0 being constant flow. The flashiness is reasonable at this location. Typically, aquatic communities need 5 mg/l or more of dissolved oxygen to survive. Concentrations at this site fall below 2 mg/l infrequently. For recreational uses, lower fecal coliform counts (a measure of bacteria) are better (preferably under 400 counts / 100ml). The counts on majority of the days are either below 400 or above 5,000. A potential goal in this case may be to determine the conditions that create the above 5,000 days and discourage recreational use on days that meet these conditions. An additional goal could be to find ways to decrease fecal coliform loads in order to increase the number of days that have below 400 counts. Phosphorus is a nutrient that can lead to increased growth of algae. The concentrations on most of the days are at or below the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline. Throughout the year, the phosphorus concentrations do not exceed 0.3 mg/l on any day Suspended solids cause water to become cloudy, which is aesthetically unpleasant. They can also clog the gills of fish and invertebrates, make feeding difficult, and lead to sediment deposition (poor habitat).The concentrations are less than 25 mg/l during the majority of the days, but the concentrations exceed 200 mg/l on some of the days. The decline in dissolved oxygen concentrations during the summer is normal due to the decreased solubility of oxygen in warmer water. The upper portion of the ranges for each month is fairly typical; however, the lower portions of the ranges (below the median or 25th percentile) decline more than would be expected, particularly during the summer. This may indicate excess organic matter and biochemical oxygen demand in the stream. While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, note that the median and 75th percentile values decline during the summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Also note that the conditions are poorest in March and are likely related to snow melt. In each month, phosphorus concentrations exceed the planning guideline less than 25% of the time. Note that the minimum values increase during the late spring and into the summer. This is likely related to runoff of fertilizer. The maximum concentrations of suspended solids are lowest during the winter, likely due to frozen conditions, decreased construction activities, and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain).
Very Good to Good Good Moderate
Moderate to Poor Very Good to Good Good to Moderate
Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment Good to Moderate Note the decline in dissolved oxygen concentrations during low flows. This is likely due to a combination of decreased
water agitation and higher temperatures (low flow conditions are often associated with the warm summer months). Also, note that dissolved oxygen concentrations decline during high flows, suggesting that the stormwater runoff may carry a relatively large organic load and biochemical oxygen demand in the stream. Generally, a pollutant that is present at high concentrations during high flows and low concentrations during low flows (fecal coliform, in this case) is attributed primarily to non-point sources. Note that during periods with the highest flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the regulatory standard more the 75% of the time. During low flows, the standard is consistently met. This would be the safest time for any recreational uses (boating, swimming, wading, etc.), although the amount of water in the stream may limit recreational use to wading. Concentrations of phosphorus are highest at high flows. This suggests the prevalence of non-point loads of phosphorus. Unlike many of the other sites, the phosphorus concentrations do not appear to correlate well with suspended solids concentration data. The concentrations of suspended solids increase with increased flows, suggesting contributions from non-point sources. The suspended solids may come from runoff that carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended stream sediments.

to 2, with 0 being constant flow. The flashiness is reasonable at this location. Typically, aquatic communities need 5 mg/l or more of dissolved oxygen to survive. Concentrations at this site rarely fall below this level and never below 3 mg/l. For recreational uses, lower fecal coliform counts (a measure of bacteria) are better (preferably under 400 counts / 100ml). The counts on majority of the days are either below 400 or above 5,000. A potential goal in this case may be to determine the conditions that create the above 5,000 days and discourage recreational use on days that meet these conditions. An additional goal could be to find ways to decrease fecal coliform loads in order to increase the number of days that have below 400 counts. Phosphorus is a nutrient that can lead to increased growth of algae. The concentrations are at or below the 0.1 mg/l planning standard on most of the days, but the concentrations exceed 0.5mg/l on some of the days. Suspended solids cause water to become cloudy, which is aesthetically unpleasant. They can also clog the gills of fish and invertebrates, make feeding difficult, and lead to sediment deposition (poor habitat). The concentrations are less than 25 mg/l on most of the days, but the concentrations exceed 200 mg/l on some of the days. These samples have chloride concentrations that are below levels that are toxic to fish and invertebrates. However, a common source of chloride is road salt and there is no winter data. Note that March data (which include snow melt and spring runoff) are higher than the rest of the year. Winter chloride concentrations would be expected to exceed those measured in March. The decline in dissolved oxygen concentrations during the summer is normal due to the decreased solubility of oxygen in warmer water. The upper portion of the ranges for each month is fairly typical; however, the lower portions of the ranges (below the median or 25th percentile) declined more than would be expected, particularly during the summer. This may indicate excess organic matter and biochemical oxygen demand in the stream. While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, note that the median and 75th percentile values decline during the summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Also note that the conditions are poorest in March and are likely related to snow melt. In most months, phosphorus concentrations exceed the planning guideline between 25% and 50% of the time. The maximum concentrations of suspended solids are lowest in the winter. This is likely due to frozen conditions, decreased construction activities, and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain).

Moderate to Poor Moderate to Poor Very Good

This chloride is gradually released and this is winter data) Good Poor
particularly noticeable during mid-to-dry conditions. During higher flow conditions, the concentration becomes diluted. Note the decline in dissolved oxygen concentrations at low flows. This is likely due to a combination of decreased water agitation and higher temperatures (low flow conditions are often associated with the warm summer months). Generally, a pollutant that is present at high concentrations during high flows and low concentrations during low flows (fecal coliform, in this case) is attributed primarily to non-point sources. The infrequent sewer overflows (once every 2-5 years) would only contribute during the high flows when a substantial non-point load is already present. Note that during periods with the highest flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the regulatory standard nearly all of the time. During low flows, the standard is met over 75% of the time. This would be the safest time for any recreational uses (boating, swimming, wading, etc.). Concentrations of phosphorus are greatest at high and low flows. This suggests a background source of phosphorus that is particularly noticeable at low flows (possibly from non-contact cooling water) as well as non-point loads of phosphorus during high flows. The concentrations of suspended solids increase with increased flows, suggesting contributions from non-point sources. The suspended solids may come from runoff that carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended stream sediments.

Menomonee River Watershed Restoration Plan Fact Sheet MN-13, Reach 890, Underwood Creek
Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment The Flashiness Index quantifies the frequency and rapidity of short-term changes in stream flow. The index ranges from 0 Good Moderate Variable (some good, some bad)
to 2, with 0 being constant flow. The flashiness is reasonable at this location. Typically, aquatic communities need 5 mg/l or more of dissolved oxygen to survive. Concentrations at this site are below this level about 10% of the time, but never below 2 mg/l. For recreational uses, lower fecal coliform counts (a measure of bacteria) are better (preferably under 400 counts / 100ml). The counts on majority of the days are either below 400 or above 5,000.

Phosphorus is a nutrient that can lead to increased growth of algae. The concentrations on majority of the days are at or below the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline. Throughout the year, the phosphorus concentration does not exceed 0.35 mg/l on any day. Suspended solids cause water to become cloudy, which is aesthetically unpleasant.

The concentrations are less than 25 mg/l on most of the days, but the concentrations exceed 200 mg/l on some of the days.

In most months, phosphorus concentrations exceed the planning guideline less than 25% of the time. Note that the minimum concentrations increase in the late spring and summer, possibly due to runoff of fertilizer. Also, the phosphorus concentration increases in March and is likely related to snow melt. The maximum values for suspended solids are lowest during the winter. This is likely due to frozen conditions, decreased construction activities, and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain). In each month, the reference concentration is exceeded less than 25% of the time.

Menomonee River Watershed Restoration Plan Fact Sheet MN-14, Reach 905, Underwood Creek
Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment Good to Moderate The Flashiness Index quantifies the frequency and rapidity of short-term changes in stream flow. The index ranges from 0 Good to Moderate Variable (some good, some bad)
to 2, with 0 being constant flow. The flashiness is slightly high at this location. Typically, aquatic communities need 5 mg/l or more of dissolved oxygen to survive. Concentrations at this site fall below this level occasionally, but never fall below the 2 mg/l variance standard. For recreational uses, lower fecal coliform counts (a measure of bacteria) are better (preferably under 400 counts / 100ml). The counts on majority of the days are either below 400 or above 5,000. A potential goal in this case may be to determine the conditions that create the above 5,000 days and discourage recreational use on days that meet these conditions. As there is a variance that allows the fecal coliform to reach 2,000 counts, another goal could be to reduce fecal coliform loads in order to increase the number of days that have fewer than 2,000 counts. Phosphorus is a nutrient that can lead to increased growth of algae. The concentrations on most of the days are at or below the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline. Throughout the year, the phosphorus concentration does not exceed 0.35 mg/l on any day Suspended solids cause water to become cloudy and aesthetically unpleasant. They can clog the gills of fish and invertebrates, make feeding difficult, and lead to sediment deposition (poor habitat). The concentrations are less than 25 mg/l on most of the days, but the concentrations exceed 100 mg/l on some of the days. While it is natural for dissolved oxygen concentrations to decline during warmer months, the concentrations decline sporadically in March and during the summer and early winter this is unusual. The low concentrations in March may be related to pollutants and biochemical oxygen demand in the runoff associated with snow melt. While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, notice that the 75th percentile value declines substantially in the summer and early fall. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria. Bacteria are most prevalent in the winter and conditions are particularly poor in March. This is most likely related to snow melt. Phosphorus concentrations are greatest in March and are likely related to snow-melt. Concentrations then decline during the summer and early fall. This could be related to uptake by plants during the growing season. Suspended solids concentrations are below the reference concentration most of the time. The majority of the higher concentrations are likely related to larger rain or snow melt events that disturb bare soil.
Good Good Good to Moderate Moderate Good to Moderate Good
Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment Note that dissolved oxygen concentrations decline at low flows. This is likely due to a combination of decreased water Good Moderate to Poor
agitation and higher temperatures (low flow conditions are often associated with the warm summer months). Generally, a pollutant that is present at high concentrations during high flows and low concentrations during low flows (fecal coliform, in this case) is attributed primarily to non-point sources. The infrequent sewer overflows (once every 2-5 years) would only contribute during the high flows when substantial non-point sources are already present. Note that during any period with the highest flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the variance standard. During moist conditions, fecal coliform exceeds the standard 50% of the time. During low flows and dry conditions, the standard is met nearly all of the time. During these low flows would be the safest time for recreational uses (boating, wading, swimming), although the amount of water in the stream may limit recreational use to wading. Concentrations of phosphorus are highest at high flows, with concentrations exceeding the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline over 50% of the time at the highest flows. This suggests the prevalence of non-point loads of phosphorus. The similarities between the phosphorus and suspended solids data suggest that the phosphorus may be associated with suspended sediment. The concentrations of suspended solids increase with increased flows, suggesting contributions from non-point sources. The suspended solids may come from runoff that carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended stream sediments. Note that this site is located downstream of some concrete-lined reaches within the watershed. As a result, upstream activities such as stream bank erosion and re-suspension of stream sediments likely make less of a contribution to suspended sediment loads at this site compared to sites that are situated downstream of natural reaches that experience these activities.

Menomonee River Watershed Restoration Plan Fact Sheet MN-16, Reach 914, Honey Creek
Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment Good to Moderate The Flashiness Index quantifies the frequency and rapidity of short-term changes in stream flow. The index ranges from 0 Very Good to Good Variable (some good, some bad)
to 2, with 0 being constant flow. The flashiness is slightly high at this location. Typically, aquatic communities need 5 mg/l or more of dissolved oxygen to survive. Concentrations at this site are consistently above this level as well as the variance standard of 2 mg/l. For recreational uses, lower fecal coliform counts (a measure of bacteria) are better (preferably under 400 counts / 100ml). The counts on majority of the days are either below 400 or above 5,000. A potential goal in this case may be to determine the conditions that create the above 5,000 days and discourage recreational use on days that meet these conditions. An additional goal could be to find ways to decrease fecal coliform loads in order to increase the number of days that have below 400 counts. Phosphorus is a nutrient that can lead to increased growth of algae. The concentrations on most of the days are at or below the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline. Throughout the year, the phosphorus concentration does not exceed 0.35 mg/l on any day. Suspended solids cause water to become cloudy, which is aesthetically unpleasant. They can also clog the gills of fish and invertebrates, make feeding difficult, and lead to sediment deposition (poor habitat). The concentrations are less than 25 mg/l on most of the days. Note the lower dissolved oxygen concentrations during the summer. This is normal due to the decreased solubility of oxygen in warmer water. While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, notice that the median values decline during the summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Also note that the summer accounts for many of the below 400 days mentioned above while the winter has many of the above 5,000 days. While the ranges of concentrations are fairly consistent throughout the year, note that the median concentration increases in March. This may be related to snow melt. Also, concentrations are more consistent and the 75-95% group is generally lower during the late spring, summer, and early fall. This may be related, in part, to uptake by plants during the growing season and the release of phosphorus from sediments and decomposing organic matter. Suspended solids concentrations are relatively low year-round and lower during the winter months. This is probably linked to a number of factors including frozen conditions, decreased construction activities, and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain). In addition, the concrete-lined channel limits the amount of in-stream erosion.
Good Very Good to Good Very Good to Good Moderate
Moderate
Very Good
Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment Note that the dissolved oxygen concentration declines during low flows (though still well above the variance standard). Good Moderate to Poor
This is likely due to a combination of decreased water agitation and higher temperatures (low flow conditions are often associated with the warm summer months). Generally, a pollutant that is present at high concentrations during high flows and low concentrations during low flows (fecal coliform, in this case) is attributed primarily to non-point sources. The infrequent sewer overflows (once every 2-5 years) would only contribute during the high flows when substantial non-point sources are already present. Note that during any period with the highest flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the regulatory variance standard. During dry conditions, the variance standard is met 75% of the time and during low flows, the standard is met consistently. This would be the safest time for any recreational uses (boating, swimming, wading, etc.), although the amount of water in the stream would most likely limit recreational uses to wading. Concentrations are greatest at high flows, with concentrations exceeding the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline nearly 75% of the time at the highest flows. This suggests phosphorus loads are originating primarily from non-point sources. The similarities between the phosphorus and suspended solids data suggest that the phosphorus may be associated with suspended sediment. The concentrations of suspended solids increase with increased flows, suggesting contributions from non-point sources. The suspended solids may come from runoff that carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended stream sediments. Note that this site is located downstream of some concrete-lined reaches within the watershed. As a result, upstream activities such as stream bank erosion and re-suspension of stream sediments likely make less of a contribution to suspended sediment loads at this site compared to sites that are situated downstream of natural reaches that experience these activities.

Concentrations at this site are consistently above this level as well as the variance standard of 2 mg/l. For recreational uses, lower fecal coliform counts (a measure of bacteria) are better (preferably under 400 counts / 100ml). The counts on majority of the days are either below 400 or above 5,000. A potential goal in this case may be to determine the conditions that create the above 5,000 days and discourage recreational use on days that meet these conditions. As there is a variance that allows the fecal coliform to reach 2,000 counts, another goal could be to find ways to decrease coliform loads in order to increase the number of days that have fewer than 2,000 counts. Phosphorus is a nutrient that can lead to increased growth of algae. The concentrations are at or below the 0.1 mg/l planning standard on most of the days, but the concentrations exceed 0.5mg/l on some of the days. Suspended solids cause water to become cloudy, which is aesthetically unpleasant. They can also clog the gills of fish and invertebrates, make feeding difficult, and lead to sediment deposition (poor habitat). The concentrations are less than 25 mg/l on most of the days. These samples have chloride concentrations that are below levels that are toxic to fish and invertebrates. However, a common source of chloride is road salt and there is no winter data. Note that concentrations in March samples (which include snow melt and spring runoff) are higher than the rest of the year. Winter chloride concentrations in samples would be expected to exceed Marchs chloride concentrations. Notice the decline in dissolved oxygen concentrations during the summer. This is normal due to the decreased solubility of oxygen in warmer water. While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, note that the median value declines during in the summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Also note that the summer accounts for many of the below 400 days mentioned above while the winter has many of the above 5,000 days. While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, note that the median value increases in March. This may be related to snow melt. Also note that concentrations are lower in May (75th percentile below 0.1 mg/l); this could be due to increased plant uptake. Suspended solids are relatively low year-round and slightly lower during the winter months. This is probably linked to a number of factors including frozen conditions, decreased construction activities, and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain).

noticeable during mid-to-dry conditions. During higher flow conditions, the concentration becomes diluted. Note that the decline in dissolved oxygen occurs at low flows. This is likely due to a combination of decreased water agitation and higher temperatures (low flow conditions are often associated with the warm summer months). Generally, a pollutant that is present at high concentrations during high flows and low concentrations during low flows (fecal coliform, in this case) is attributed primarily to non-point sources. The infrequent sewer overflows (once every 2-5 years) would only contribute during the high flows when substantial non-point loads are already present. Note that during any period with the highest flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the variance standard. During moist conditions, the counts exceed the variance standard over 50% of the time. During low flows, the variance standard is met all of the time. This would be the safest time for any recreational uses (boating, swimming, wading, etc.). Concentrations of phosphorus are greatest at high and low flows. This suggests a background source of phosphorus that is particularly noticeable at low flows (perhaps from non-contact cooling water) as well as non-point sources of phosphorus at high flows. The concentrations of suspended solids increase with increased flows, suggesting contributions from non-point sources. The suspended solids may come from runoff that carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended stream sediments.

to 2, with 0 being constant flow. The flashiness is reasonably good at this location. Typically, aquatic communities need 5 mg/l or more of dissolved oxygen to survive. Concentrations at this site are nearly always above this level and are consistently above the variance standard of 2 mg/l. For recreational uses, lower fecal coliform counts (a measure of bacteria) are better (preferably under 400 counts / 100ml). The counts on majority of the days are either below 400 or above 5,000. A potential goal in this case may be to determine the conditions that create the above 5,000 days and discourage recreational use on days that meet these conditions. As there is a variance that allows the fecal coliform to reach 2,000 counts, another goal could be to find ways to decrease coliform loading in order to increase the number of days that have fewer than 2,000 counts. Phosphorus is a nutrient that can lead to increased growth of algae. About half of the days had concentrations that exceeded the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline. Suspended solids cause water to become cloudy, which is aesthetically unpleasant. They can also clog the gills of fish and invertebrates, make feeding difficult, and lead to sediment deposition (poor habitat). The concentrations are less than 25 mg/l on most of the days. Note the decline in dissolved oxygen concentrations during the summer. This is normal due to the decreased solubility of oxygen in warmer water. Concentrations are well above the special variance level. While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, notice that the median values decline during the summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Also note that the summer accounts for many of the below 400 days mentioned above while the winter has many of the above 5,000 days. Fecal coliform counts increase noticeably in March and are potentially related to snow melt. While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, note that the median concentration increases slightly in March. This could be explained by snow melt. Suspended solids concentrations are relatively low year-round and slightly lower during the winter months. This is probably linked to a number of factors including frozen conditions, decreased construction activities, and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain).
Moderate to Poor Good Very Good to Good Moderate to Poor
Overall Project Analysis Team Assessment Good Note the decline in dissolved oxygen concentrations during low flows. This is likely due to a combination of decreased Moderate to Poor
water agitation and higher temperatures (low flow conditions are often associated with warm summer months). Generally, a pollutant that is present at high concentrations during high flows and low concentrations during low flows (fecal coliform, in this case) is attributed primarily to non-point sources. The infrequent sewer overflows (once every 2-5 years) would only contribute during the high flows when substantial non-point loads are already present. Note that during any period with the highest flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the regulatory variance standard. During moist conditions, the counts are above the variance standard over 50% of the time. During low flows, the variance standard is met all of the time. This would be the safest time for any recreational uses (boating, swimming, wading, etc.). Concentrations of phosphorus are greatest at high and low flows, although concentrations are frequently greater than the planning guideline under all flow conditions. The higher concentrations at flow extremes suggests a background source of phosphorus that is particularly noticeable at low flows (perhaps due to inputs of non-contact cooling water) as well as nonpoint sources of phosphorus at high flows. The concentrations of suspended solids increase with increased flows, suggesting contributions from non-point sources. The suspended solids may come from runoff that carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended stream sediments.
