This public meeting will discuss plans for addressing the Eutrophication or Undesirable Algae impairment in the Milwaukee Estuary Area of Concern (AOC). The Milwaukee Estuary AOC was historically considered excessively eutrophic due to high nutrient loads to the waterways. High levels of nutrients can lead to algal blooms and oxygen depletion and negatively impact environmental health. Since the AOC designation in 1987, many efforts have been implemented and are underway to improve water quality within the AOC and the surrounding landscape. During this meeting, we will share more about the history of this impairment in the Milwaukee Estuary AOC, present a proposed path forward for addressing this impairment, and have an open discussion with participants about this proposal.
