Notice of Availability of Draft Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Report
Developed in Accordance With Section
303(d) of the Clean Water Act, for
Squaw Creek and Stillwell Creek, in
Wisconsin, for Review
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice announces the
availability of the TMDL report
developed by EPA Region 5 for Stillwell
Creek and Squaw Creek in Wisconsin.
Both Creeks are located in Monroe
County in West Central Wisconsin.
Squaw Creek and Stillwell Creek are
classified as ‘‘water quality-limited’’ and
have been placed on Wisconsin’s list of
waters in need of restoration. The
impaired segments addressed in this
TMDL are Stillwell Creek, Miles 0.6–
2.8, and Squaw Creek, Miles 0.0–0.2.
Sediment and Temperature are the
pollutants listed as causing the
impairment of Stillwell Creek, which is
designated as a Class II Trout stream by
the State of Wisconsin. Sources of
Sediment and Temperature in need of
reduction in this TMDL are from the
holding and release of water for
agricultural purposes. A reduction in
temperature between 16 and 34 percent
(varying with expected temperature in
the stream), and a 13 to 43 percent
reduction in sediment (reductions are
related to expected variations in
hydrology) are targeted.
Temperature is the pollutant listed as
the cause of the impairment of Squaw
Creek, also a Class II trout stream. The
source of the impairment in need of
reduction in this TMDL is the holding
of water in Squaw Lake and its
subsequent release from the warmer
upper layers near the surface of the lake.
A 12–36 percent reduction in
temperature (varying with expected
temperature in the stream) is targeted.
EPA is providing an opportunity for
public input regarding the analyses
completed for needed pollutant
reductions in the TMDL.
DATES: Comments on this document
must be received in writing by
September 25, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Christine Urban, Watersheds and
Wetlands Branch, at the EPA address
noted above or by telephone at (312)
886–3493.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA)
requires that each state identify those
waters for which existing technologybased pollution controls are not
stringent enough to attain or maintain
state water quality standards. For those
water quality-limited waters, states are
required to establish TMDLs for one or
more of its designated uses, for example
fishing or swimming, according to a
priority ranking.
The TMDLs are designed to identify
needed reductions of pollutant loads to
the impaired waters, so that the
appropriate designated uses are
achieved, and State Water Quality
Standards are met.
In the case of the Stillwell and Squaw
Creek TMDLs, both of the impaired
segments are located within the
boundaries of the Fort McCoy Military
Training Facility. EPA Region 5
developed this TMDL, rather than the
State of Wisconsin, at the request of
Wisconsin because Squaw and Stillwell
Creek are located on a federal military
facility.

the Federal–State Joint Board on
Universal Service (Joint Board) invites
parties to comment on the use of reverse
auctions (competitive bidding) to

proposals, in addition to auction
proposals that have been referenced in
past Commission universal service
proceedings. The Joint Board also seeks
comment on how competitive bidding
could be utilized to further address any
other criteria or issues related to the
receipt of universal service support
described in the Joint Board’s August
