Bacteria White Paper

The SWWT Science Committee formed a Bacteria Work Group in response to impairments in the region’s waterways due to fecal bacteria pollution and the newly drafted TMDLs for the Milwaukee River Basin. The efforts of this group have culminated in a white paper that serves as a starting point when beginning to identify fecal bacteria sources and/or evaluate measures to control waterborne fecal bacteria contamination. This white paper is included below.
