SUMMARY:Clean Lakes 101: Beach Testing on the Yahara Lakes
DESCRIPTION:Clean Lakes 101\n\n\n\nJoin us for this in-person or virtual hybrid edition of Clean Lakes 101 to learn about how water quality is monitored at beaches within Dane County. Register as an in-person attendee or to receive a Zoom link through your confirmation email and watch virtually. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister by entering your information in the box below\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Talk\n\n\n\nEvery summer\, staff from Public Health Madison & Dane County take on the task of monitoring area beaches. Samples are collected and brought back to the lab for testing. Staff test for bacteria and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). It’s these test results that decide if a beach is open or closed for swimming. Closures are updated online and signs posted at the beach to warn people to stay out of the water when bacteria or cyanobacteria levels are high. This presentation will highlight the importance of recreational water quality monitoring and take you through a day at the beach from sample collection to sample results. \n\n\n\nAbout our Speaker\n\n\n\nJennifer Lavender Braun serves at the lead microbiologist for Public Health Madison & Dane County. In this role\, Jennifer oversees microbiology testing for drinking water\, swim and whirl pools\, and Dane County beaches. Prior to her current position\, Jennifer worked at the US EPA National Exposure Research Lab in Cincinnati\, OH and the City of Racine Health Department Lab. At the US EPA\, Jennifer worked on the National Epidemiological and Environmental Assessment of Recreational Water. This study helped inform the 2012 updated recreational water quality standards that factored in the use of newer rapid methods. During her time in Racine\, Jennifer worked on method development for one of these rapid method\, qPCR\, which is now the standard test method for beaches in that area. Jennifer holds a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics\, and a Master of Science in Applied Molecular Biology\, both from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.  \n\n\n\nEvent Details\n\n\n\nThis event will be held at The Edgewater – grand ballroom level 5 (1001 Wisconsin Pl\, Madison\, WI 53703). Doors open at 7:30 a.m. The program runs from 8 – 9 a.m. A Q/A session will follow the presentation as time allows. Complimentary event parking will be available at The Edgewater parking ramp. Parking spots fill up quickly and may be limited depending on hotel capacity. \n\n\n\nA Zoom link will be sent to all registrants via the Eventbrite confirmation email. \n\n\n\nClean Lakes 101 Lecture Series\n\n\n\nClean Lakes 101 is a series of educational events open to the public and a great chance to learn more about the science behind the issues that affect our lakes. Each month we feature a different expert to make the science accessible and interesting to non-technical audiences. The series is produced in partnership with the UW-Madison Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies and UW-Extension Lakes\, with presenting sponsor First Weber Foundation\, hosting sponsor The Edgewater\, supporting sponsors National Guardian Life Insurance Company and Alliant Energy\, and media sponsor WKOW.

SUMMARY:Clean Lakes 101 - From Waste to Worth: Phosphorus Recovery and Reuse
DESCRIPTION:Clean Lakes 101\n\n\n\nJoin us for this in-person or virtual hybrid edition of Clean Lakes 101 to learn about how phosphorus recovered from wastewater not only benefits our local waterways\, but can be reused within the food system. Register as an in-person attendee or to receive a Zoom link through your confirmation email and watch virtually. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister by entering your information in the box below\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Talk\n\n\n\nPhosphorus is an essential nutrient. Every day people consume phosphorus as part of their diet and in products they use. Eventually some of this phosphorus becomes waste and ends up in wastewater. Most wastewater in the Madison area is reclaimed by the Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District\, where phosphorus is recovered for beneficial reuse within the food system. This presentation will explain how the District recovers nutrients like phosphorus from wastewater for beneficial reuse while working to protect local water resources.  \n\n\n\nAbout our Speaker\n\n\n\nMatt Seib serves as the process and research engineer at the Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District. In this role\, Matt is involved in several areas of the District\, including daily operations\, innovation\, planning studies\, and capital improvements projects. He also partners with faculty at the University of Wisconsin focused on wastewater technology and resource recovery research. Matt is involved in several water industry advocacy organizations such as the Water Environment Federation and Water Research Foundation. He holds a PhD from Marquette University in civil engineering with a specialization in anaerobic biotechnology and also served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Mali\, working on community water and sanitation development efforts. \n\n\n\nEvent Details\n\n\n\nThis event will be held at The Edgewater hotel – grand ballroom level 5 (1001 Wisconsin Pl\, Madison\, WI 53703). Doors open at 7:30 a.m. The program runs from 8 – 9 a.m. A Q/A session will follow the presentation as time allows. Complimentary event parking will be available at The Edgewater parking ramp. Parking spots fill up quickly and may be limited depending on hotel capacity. \n\n\n\nA Zoom link will be sent to all registrants via the confirmation email. \n\n\n\nClean Lakes 101 Lecture Series\n\n\n\nClean Lakes 101 is a series of educational events open to the public and a great chance to learn more about the science behind the issues that affect our lakes.

Friends are individuals that support our lakes annually with a tax-deductible donation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Talk\n\n\n\nThe Dane County Park System manages over 17\,000 acres of land that staff\, volunteers\, and partner organizations work to protect\, improve\, and restore. Among that total acreage exists a scattering of robust tallgrass prairies\, a critical habitat for wildlife and a water quality benefit for our lakes. Prairies are native to the state of Wisconsin and have evolved here alongside native wildlife and pollinators. Prairies perform ecosystem services like managing rainfall by increasing infiltration\, which is crucial for plant growth and resupplying groundwater. Many prairie plants have long\, deep roots\, which prevent soil erosion that would otherwise bring nutrients like phosphorus into our lakes. \n\n\n\nTo support existing prairies and establish new ones\, native seeds are in high demand. In 2021\, the total collected seeds had an estimated value of well over $1\,000\,000 and will be used to restore hundreds of acres of land. Without the support from volunteers\, this level of restoration would not be possible. This presentation will showcase the Dane County Park’s native seed program and take the audience through every step of the process from seed collection to planting and everything in between. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout our Speaker\n\n\n\nLars Higdon has been the Botanist/Naturalist with Dane County Parks since 2016. He enjoys working closely with a large workforce of volunteers to restore prairies\, savannas\, and woodlands across dozens of parks and project sites throughout the park system. Lars has worked in multiple capacities managing and restoring natural communities in Wisconsin as well as southern California. Lars holds a master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Details\n\n\n\nThis event has been changed to ONLY VIRTUAL.

SUMMARY:Clean Lakes 101: "Suck the Muck" at Sixmile Creek
DESCRIPTION:Clean Lakes 101\n\n\n\nClean Lakes 101 is taking a field trip to learn more about Dane County’s signature Suck the Muck effort to remove legacy sediment. Register today to join us on Monday\, August 22nd for this educational event at Sixmile Creek with Dane County Executive Joe Parisi. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER FOR THE “SUCK THE MUCK” FIELD TRIP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Talk\n\n\n\nDane County’s “Suck the Muck” project has received a lot of exciting attention over the past few years for its legacy sediment removal in Dorn Creek and Token Creek. Now on the third phase of the project\, Dane County will begin the work in Sixmile Creek. It is estimated that approximately 25\,000 tons (or about 1\,800 dump truck loads) of material will be removed from this section of Sixmile Creek\, including an estimated 60\,000 pounds of phosphorus contained in the accumulated sediment. \n\n\n\nIn this month’s Clean Lakes 101 field trip edition\, we’ll hear an update from Dane County Executive Joe Parisi and Assistant Director of Land and Water Resources John Reimer about the project. Attendees will get to see the phosphorus-laden sediment islands firsthand and learn about the removal process. Ultimately\, this project is currently estimated to divert thousands of pounds of phosphorus from entering our lakes. \n\n\n\nAbout our Speakers\n\n\n\nCounty Executive Joe Parisi has called Dane County home his entire life. Parisi sought out public service as a way to give back to a community that has given so much to him. He was first elected as County Executive\, the chief elected leader of Dane County\, in 2011 after 6 years in the State Assembly and 8 years as Dane County Clerk. \n\n\n\nParisi’s priority is to ensure that everyone in our community has access to the opportunity to succeed. He believes investing in people pays big dividends. Joe knows this can work because he experienced it. As a teenager\, Parisi dropped out of high school. He was encouraged to return to education through a community program by people who believed in him. So he worked to earn his GED and went on to MATC (now Madison College) and graduated from UW-Madison with a degree in sociology. Now Parisi believes it is his turn to give back to ensure that our children’s generation has access to the same opportunities that were available to him. \n\n\n\nJohn Reimer is the Assistant Director of the Dane County Land & Water Resources Department. His technical background has focused on modeling and analysis of watersheds\, rivers\, and lakes. Reimer is responsible for lake level management\, including aquatic plant harvesting and operation of the three dams in the Yahara chain of lakes. \n\n\n\nEvent Details: Field Trip Edition!\n\n\n\nThis event will be held at Sixmile Creek. (5656 Enchanted View Lane\, Waunakee)This event is held at North Mendota Natural Resource Area near Sixmile Creek (see map below).

SUMMARY:Clean Lakes 101
DESCRIPTION:Clean Lakes 101\n\n\n\nJoin us for this in-person or virtual hybrid edition of Clean Lakes 101. Register as an in-person attendee or to receive a Zoom link through your confirmation email and watch virtually. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER FOR CLEAN LAKES 101\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Talk\n\n\n\nThe mechanical harvesting of aquatic plants started in the early 1980s on the Yahara chain of lakes. Efforts have since expanded to include a fleet of 12 aquatic plant harvesters and various equipment. However\, rapid plant growth and changing public expectations continue to present ongoing challenges. Effective aquatic plant management is a difficult balance between sometimes competing factors\, such as public safety\, recreational opportunity\, a healthy aquatic ecosystem\, and cost. \n\n\n\nToday\, Dane County’s mechanical harvesting program focuses on two priority areas. The first priority is to target plant growth occurring within the Yahara River. Excessive plant growth restricts water flow moving through the Yahara chain of lakes\, creating challenges to maintain lake levels with the Wisconsin DNR water level orders. The second priority is to mitigate recreational impairment by removing invasive aquatic weeds. Additionally\, there are often public misunderstandings related to where and when aquatic plant harvesting is allowed. In this talk\, we will discuss regulatory requirements\, locations of harvesting\, and impacts to the local fishery. Information on data collection and the five-year permitting process will also be described. \n\n\n\nAbout our Speaker\n\n\n\nPete Jopke is a 1990 graduate of UW-LaCrosse and has spent time with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources\, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service\, Sauk County\, and\, for the last 26 years\, with the Dane County Land and Water Resources Department. His entire 31-year career in natural resources has been centered on water. In addition to working with the aquatic plant program\, he also serves as the County’s Aquatic Species Coordinator and assists with all things lakes and rivers. An avid angler\, you will often catch him throughout the year pursuing his finned friends. \n\n\n\nEvent Details\n\n\n\nThis event will be held at The Edgewater hotel – grand ballroom level 5 (1001 Wisconsin Pl\, Madison\, WI 53703). Doors open at 7:30 a.m. The program runs from 8 – 9 a.m. A Q/A session will follow the presentation as time allows.
