Basis for Assessment
The assessment developed for the 1996 report (above) was reviewed and approved by the DNR Fisheries Bureau. Several water quality problems in Upper Pine and Lower Pine lakes and their watersheds have been evaluted and addressed through the Pine Creek Water Quality Project. For example, through implementation of a variety of soil conservation measures, the amount of sediment flowing into these lakes has been reduced by 66 percent. These soil conservation practices include grassed waterways, sediment basins, streambank stabilization, and no-till farming.
