Data Documentation
Phosphorus Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for Half Moon Lake, Eau Claire, Wisconsin Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources September 25, 2008
TMDL (USEPA) Approved
Half Moon Lake was originally listed on Wisconsin's 303(d) impaired waters list in 1998 for eutrophic conditions and sedimentation and listed as a high priority for TMDL development on the October 2002 303(d) list. Half Moon Lake is 53 hectares (132 acres) in size with a maximum depth of about 3 meters (slightly over 9 feet).
TMDL Development
TMDL Development for Halfmoon Lake (2125400) addressing phosphorus impacts and impairments which were identified on the Wisconsin 1998 and 2002 303(d) lists.
TMDL Development
Half Moon Lake (Hydrologic Unit Code 070500006) is a small, shallow eutrophic lake that formed as an oxbow of the Chippewa River. The lake is geographically located within the City of Eau Claire and the Lower Chippewa River Basin. The lake is highly eutrophic and exhibits excessive algae and aquatic macrophyte growth (Borman, 1990; Brakke, 1995; Konkel and Borman, 1996; James et. al., 2001, 2002).
